I'm thinking about trying ass play, I've recently found myself drawn to the idea of fucking my ass with some sort of object while I'm wanking my hard cock. I was wondering if anybody had any tips, tricks or suggestions for me?

dildo

First learn to clean yourself out so that you can go deeper than just the surface.

Then start small and good lube, but take your time. Your arse wil tell you "no" at first, but like a good slut, it eventually gives way, and you'll be buying bigger and bigger toys in no time.

I personally found the friction and stretch of the the arse muscle gives you most of the "i-feel-like-a slut" sensation of arse play. I haven't had any success with prostate orgasim, but you get a whole body "orgasm" as you work that arse muscle.

Take your time, relax, start with something small, plenty of lube.

Good advice, I'd add to be sure and use a toy meant for ass play, you really don,t want anything getting stuck up there. Google -toys stuck in ass- and view the images for a horror show, you'll see stuff from toothbrushes to cell phones in there.

Try a well lubed middle finger and slowly move in and toward your belly to seek the prostate. You'll probably know you're there when u get a feeling that you've never felt before. Don't do anything hard or fast. Keep working that feeling and get used to it. Take it slow, enjoy but don't expect fireworks in five minutes. This is not a slam bang thing. You might start to get a slow flow of sweet precum. Enjoy. Perfect your technique each try. You might start to crave it after a few tries. If you get the urge, just jack off afterwards and see if you get a big one shooting out !

Other than actual lube, what are some good substitutes?

I use baby oil.

Try anal beads...these give me huge orgasms...have had orgasms with out jerking off

Some good advice here! Like everyone's saying, you don't need anything huge to make your ass feel good.
Depending on my mood, I have a dildo that's like an average sized cock with just enough curve to work my prostate. Also, my favorite prostate massager is actually a back massager tool called the Backnobber II. And then for lube, I keep a small container of coconut oil by the bed (keeps well & works well).

Olive oil works great too. Use the extra virgin if it's your first time LOL

Glad to see that you want to join the fraternity. Like every frat, there is going to be a little pain in the initiation, but membership is well worth it.

All good advice on here so far. Start slow and small, and be patient. Breathing is important - if it starts to hurt, just hold it there and breathe deeply for a few seconds to a minute. Don't push it in any further at that point, but don't pull it out either. With deep breaths, the pain should resolve itself soon and fade - then you can push a little deeper. Repeat as necessary.

A good trick for a beginner is this: when you first start pushing in, your first instinct will be to clench your rectum tightly shut - we all do it. BAD MOVE! Instead, push your rectum out like you are trying to take a shit or cut a fart. It makes your muscles much more relaxed and accepting.

Regarding lube: any oil will work (olive, baby, vegetable) but will be messy to clean up. (Sorry about those towels, Mom.) So will petroleum jelly, but even worse to clean up. I have found that hand lotion works great. Easy to buy, easy to explain, and easy to clean up. It will tend to dry out after a while, but a little water or spit will get it nice and slippery again. Just about any lube you might use for jacking off will work, BUT: DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF SOAP, BODY WASH, OR SHAMPOO! You will regret it. Buy a jar of Nivea (dry hands from working so hard, Mom!)

Hope this helps, buddy, and if you want any more advice just PM me.

good advice

Ohhh, I'll bet that feels good.
