Let your mind, and we guess.. your anus.. be open! You're going to love it, as long as you heed our advice. Keep reading to find out the best things to do in preparation for anal sex.

Enemas. Let’s talk douching. You don’t have to get an enema, but some suggest it for your first time. Women were interviewed about how to prepare for anal sex and the decision on whether to enema or not to enema was split.

Chipotle. “If he’s requesting entrance to my exit, he should know the risks at hand,” one woman said. “Unless you had Chipotle for dinner. Then I’d say enema, for sure.

Clean. Even if you aren’t considering an enema, you’ve got to keep the area clean, so showering prior is a must, but there is a proper way to clean yourself in preparation for anal.

Cross contamination. “Do not touch the anus and genitals with the same hand without washing up or changing gloves,” Pleasure Mechanics reports. “The anus and the genitals are two distinct ecosystems and you do not want to spread bacteria from the anus to the genitals.”

Foreplay. It’s an absolute must. It will help to loosen up and relax your anus, and will serve to make the experience as pleasurable as possible.

Proximity. Closeness is key here, alright. Keep the essentials close, because you’re not going to want to get up in the middle of everything to get something you need.

Supplies. You’ll need a few things, which you could keep on your bedside table: A box of baby wipes ensures quick clean-up if anything goes awry, a towel (just in case), lube, etc. Speaking of lube...

Lubrication. The wetter, the better. We are not kidding you on this one. Lube is your best friend when it comes to anal sex. An improper amount of lube can cause anal rips and tears.

Don’t numb the area. Be careful not to use numbing gels that prevent your body from experiencing pain, as this is your body’s way of telling you that something isn’t right.

Speed. Your bootyhole isn’t going anywhere, so don’t rush it. This is the sort of situation where you need to sweat the technique. Slow and steady. Very slow.

Test the waters. If you’ve never been swimming before, do you just dive into the water headfirst and see what happens? Probably not if you’re looking to ever swim again.

Finger. Something like a finger or two is a good test prep for anal sex. You shouldn’t just start with a penis if you’ve never had your anus stimulated before, the results could be disastrous.

Positions. Your first time is really all about trial and error. You’ve got to try a few different positions, apply different amounts of pressure, etc. Otherwise you won’t be able to find what you like very easily.

Booty to vagina. It’s a no, just keep that in mind. You’re asking for an infection, regardless of whether you’re wearing a condom or not.
