Let’s cut the small talk. You want the truth about anal sex? You’re gonna get it. No fluff, no “oh my gosh is this too graphic?” nonsense, just straight-up intel.

Because here’s the reality: a ton of people are out there doing it wrong, scared of it, or making crap up. Why? Misinformation, bad porn, and shame wrapped up in outdated ideas. It’s time we clear the smoke, debunk the B.S., and give you what you actually need to know, backed by real knowledge, real gear, and zero apologies.

Strap in. We’re going deep.

MYTH #1: “Does anal make your butt bigger?”

Short answer: No. Not even a little.

Long answer: Your glutes (those big muscles in your ass) are what determine the shape of your butt. And guess what? They don’t get “worked out” during anal sex. The rectum and sphincter muscles may be involved in the act, but they’re internal, small, and not part of what gives you that peach emoji silhouette.

If your booty looks bigger after anal, it’s likely temporary swelling, increased blood flow, or your brain playing tricks because you had a good time. That’s it.

Want a bigger butt? Do squats, deadlifts, and eat your calories. Don’t rely on d*ck.

MYTH #2: “Anal sex is always painful.”

Wrong again. Pain is a red flag, not a feature.

The reason people associate anal sex with pain is simple: they’re doing it without prep, without communication, and worst of all, without lube.

H3: The Science of Why Lube Matters

Unlike the vagina, the anus doesn’t produce natural lubrication. That’s a biological fact. The lining of the anal canal is thinner and more delicate, which means any friction can cause microtears. That opens the door to discomfort, irritation, or even infection if you’re not careful.

Enter: Gun Oil.

Our lubricants are built for precision, endurance, and full-spectrum comfort. Gun Oil Silicone gives you a long-lasting glide that stays slick through the entire mission—no reapplication mid-action. It’s hypoallergenic, latex-compatible, and engineered for high-performance sex. You need lube that works as hard as you do.

If you’re not using lube for anal, you’re asking for pain. And we don’t do unnecessary pain around here.

MYTH #3: “Only certain people have sex in the butt.”

That’s civilian thinking.

Anal play isn’t about gender, orientation, or lifestyle. It’s about pleasure. Full stop.

Medical professionals and sex researchers know that the anus and surrounding areas are packed with nerve endings—over 1,000 of them, to be exact. For men, the prostate (aka the P-spot) can be stimulated through the rectum, leading to powerful, full-body orgasms. For women, pressure on the anal canal can create intense sensations and enhance vaginal stimulation when done right.

Bottom line: anal sex is a legit form of pleasure for anyone who wants to explore it.

The only thing that should matter is consent and curiosity. Everything else is noise.

MYTH #4: “You don’t need to prepare for anal sex.”

Would you charge into enemy territory without a plan? Didn’t think so.

Tactical Prep Checklist:

  • Hygiene: Most people like to rinse out beforehand with a simple anal douche. No need for a deep clean; just a quick rinse is fine.
  • Foreplay: You’re not starting with a battering ram. Use fingers, toys, tongues, whatever gets the muscle warmed up and relaxed.
  • Lube: You need it. A lot of it. Apply it to everything: you, your partner, the toy, the condom. And then apply some more.

Try Gun Oil H2O for water-based versatility, especially if you’re using toys or want something easy to clean. It’s slick, body-safe, and made with military precision (no kidding—we were founded by a former Army officer).

MYTH #5: “Anal sex isn’t safe.”

Newsflash: sex isn’t safe if you do it recklessly. That applies to anything.

Here’s the science:

  • Yes, the anal lining is thinner, and yes, STIs can transmit more easily if you don’t use protection.
  • Yes, the rectum can be more sensitive to tears if you skip lube or rush things.
  • BUTT! When you take the right steps, anal sex is just as safe as vaginal or oral.

Use condoms. Use lube. Communicate. Don’t push past someone’s comfort zone. Done and done.

Debrief: What You Really Need to Know

Let’s recap this mission:

  • Does anal make your butt bigger? No. It’s not a damn gym.
  • Is anal sex always painful? Only if you go in untrained and unequipped.
  • Is it just for gay guys or “freaks”? That’s medieval thinking.
  • Can you skip the prep? Not if you want a good time.
  • Is it safe? As safe as you make it.

And let’s be real: no matter how prepared you are, without the right lubricant, you’re sabotaging your own success.

Enter Gun Oil:

These aren’t gimmicks. They’re gear. Essential equipment for one hell of a good time.

Anal sex isn’t dirty. It’s not dangerous. And it’s definitely not something to be ashamed of. It’s a legit, powerful way to connect with your body or your partner. And if you’re gonna do it, do it like a pro.

Lube up. Communicate. Respect the process. And if anyone tries to shame you? Tell them to stand down.
