General overview and safety
For various reasons anal play or sex - yes, there is a difference - appeals to many people who are into the many forms of erotic power exchange. Although personal motivations may vary, the need for the sub to actively cooperate as well as the fact that many people have a mental barrier here are the most common factors for this subject's popularity. Anal play is certainly not without risks, so you should be very aware of what you are doing. When you understand and know how to minimize them, the risks are minimal.
The first thing to be aware of every time you enter into it is that anal contact is HIV-risk number 1. If you are playing with a partner you do not know, just met, or are having a one night stand with - and possibly most important - if you have a bisexual partner - take all precautions necessary. Maybe you have heard this before but the time required for HIV to be discovered varies from person to person and can be as long as seven years. In other words, having known each other for three months is no guarantee for protection...so protect yourself.
There are five different forms of anal play and the differences as well as the effects can to a large extent be compared to vaginal play:
penis/anus contact
finger- and/or fist play
using toys
rimming
enemas
