Educator's Note

Anal play can be a meaningful avenue for pleasure for people of all genders and body types, including transmasc folks, people with vulvas, and anyone with a prostate. If pelvic pain or past trauma is part of your history, going at your own pace and working with a pelvic floor therapist alongside resources like this one can make a real difference.
