Four months ago the great Buck Angel released a fantastic PSA encouraging transmen to get an annual pap test in order to check for precancerous cells. I posted about this a while back while discussing some of my favorite PSAs in terms of STD awareness.

Recently Drew Deveaux worked with Buck Angel to create a new PSA encouraging trans women to get prostate exams. If a trans woman takes estrogen therapy, her chances of prostate cancer are reduced, but there is still a risk. Get yourself checked!

Drew wrote a fantastic blog post about her PSA. Drew is one of the few, but strong, queer porn activists. She fucks well on camera and educates a diverse range of people on trans rights. I particularly enjoy her work on developing the term “cisnormativity,” which you can read more about in her blog post.

As much as I’d like this post to be “yay! awareness and sex and love!” It should be noted how much shit Buck Angel, along with many others, puts up with due to his work and who he is. Recently Buck published on his twitter feed a response to his PSA:

“You fucking suck You fake piece of shit. Your twisted amusement damages too fucking much. I can’t get proper medical care because of the perversion you have taxed the doctors with Your lies, for your Halloween costumes. Men don’t have pussies it is incompatible with male chemistry asshole”

I wanted to post the hate that Buck receives to keep everyone aware. Sometimes hate and discrimination are in your face, and other times it’s a little more subtle. Get your pronouns right, people. Respect the pronoun a person uses. And don’t assume you know the pronoun. Furthermore, everyone has a right to proper health care, everyone has a right to live how they see fit. This isn’t Halloween, this isn’t for twisted amusement. This is life.

Keep yourself in check, and get checked.

I practice emergency medicine in a hospital somewhere in the flyover states. One problem we see again and again is an object which, having been inserted in an anus, cannot be removed without assistance. In many cases this is dangerous to the patient. In some cases surgery is necessary. Some patients end up with permanent debilitating injuries which probably put a damper on their sex lives. I’m sure you can imagine what I mean.

Would you please publish a safety advisory? For the sake of your readers safety, warn them not to put anything up their backsides unless they have a pretty good idea of how they’re going to get it back out without my assistance. It would save my colleagues and I a lot of grief and it would save your kinkier readers the odd ileostomy, which is an unpleasant affair. This last is a worst case scenario, but even without complications the means at our disposal are unpleasant for ourselves as well as the patients. Furthermore, by the time they end up in the ER these guys are pretty embarrassed already and I can’t exactly tell the nurses not to laugh at them. We try to maintain professional decorum, but when a guy has more than a couple billiard balls up his ass, it’s a scratch, and forfeits his game of bunghole billiards. Even if we get them out without difficulty, he’s still lost the game to his opponent, who tends to show up about an hour later with some billiard balls in his ass.

It’s a social problem and a medical problem and it could be easily addressed with, I don’t know, a string and some lube and a bit of planning? Thank you for taking the time to consider this matter.

Kind regards,

Dr Andrew REDACTED, MD

Dr. REDACTED,

Thank you very much for bringing this need to my attention. I have been meaning to inform my readers of the importance of safe ass playing and your description of what happens in an ER is a great way to get a part of the message out.

Readers: you don’t want to risk embarrassment or dramatic urgent surgery at the hands of such juvenile and incompetent physicians, so take up some common sense when exploring your butt hole. What’s worse than the fear of having an object securely stuck up your anus than a group of giggling, fresh out of med school twats who can’t wait to go to their local watering hole (where all the drinks are invariably served in pyrex) to share stories of the latest patient with a barbie head lodged beyond reach.

Now some tips:

(1) Flange it: Unlike what the doctor said, a string is not the best safety device unless there is a hole in the object to tie
it around. However, a prim and proper butt player always uses objects with a flange, meaning there is a wide base at the end in order to ensure the entirety of said object does not get lost in said anus.

(2) Solid it: Never ever ever (say never) use an object that is breakable. Yes, I’m talking about that light bulb in your hand, put it down. I know you like taking risks, but really, risking tiny thin shards of glass lacerating your delicate mucous membrane covered anus is not a risk that would garner you bragging rights like that wicked skateboarding trick you pulled off when you were 13. Always use a solid object.

(3) Sanitize it: Always make sure whatever device or object you’re using is safe and clean. That toothbrush that’s been sitting next to the toilet seat for years and been collecting dust is not the most sterile thing you can use. Many people think that since the butt is not the most sterile part of your body then it’s okay to use non-sterile objects, sorry son not true. Your ass does have bacterium, sure, but it’s your OWN bacteria and it wants to stay that way. Any outside forces will be met with grave hostility. I highly recommend using non-porous objects, as in it is made of silicone or hard plastic. Hell, if anything put a condom of it, why don’t ya?

(4) Lube Lube Lube: Use it, lube is good for you. Your ass does not create it’s own fluids. If you’re using condoms to cover your toy or latex gloves to cover your partners hand, don’t use oil based lube. If you’re using silicone-based toys then DON’T use silicone-based lube. Lube is love.

Now I know you people like to try to be creative, but this isn’t necessarily an event that Benjamin Franklin crafts store is geared towards. So your best bet is take you and your soon to be filled ass to a well-stocked and well-informed sex shop (Sinsations, Good Vibrations) and buy a toy that follows all three of my above rules. I highly recommend looking for silicone based toys since they are incredibly sterile and easy to clean, Tantus and Vixen Creations are wonderful manufacturers of all silicone-based sex toys.

10 Rules of Anal Sex

A reader wants me to tell her more about male anal stimulation. As in, where the male g-spot is and how to get the “cornhole” more relaxed for receiving anal stimulation.

First off the male g-spot is the prostate gland, otherwise known as the p-spot. The prostate surrounds the urethra at the base of the bladder and creates 10-30% of the seminal fluids comprised in semen. You can stimulate the p-spot in two ways:

(1) Insert a finger (or 4 + a thumb) and curve your finger(s) towards the penis. It’s about 1.5 inches inward and lightly
massage the prostate gland, making especially sure not to rub too vigorously.
(2) By massaging the perineum, the area between the balls and the ass. Otherwise known as “t’ain’t,” from the ever so
academic saying “it’ain’t your balls and it’ain’t your ass!” Through lightly massaging this area the p-spot can be easily
stimulated when the male doesn’t feel like insertive play.

Check out this diagram below to help with your anatomical knowledge:

Many guys report to be able to cum quite easily from prostate massage and no genital stimulation. Others say that prostate massage and having their naughty bits played with at the same time increased the intensity of the orgasm and semen volume. (side note: Brian Posehn has a great bit on men who want to increase their semen volume). Another way to go about this is using the one and only Aneros prostate “massage massager.” I’m gathering it massages, but call me crazy. This tool (*snicker*) stimulates the prostate internally and externally. Go go gadget!

So how do you make the male anus more receptive? Hell, lets keep this gender neutral, every anus is made equally. The quick and easy (when consensual) way is alcohol or muscle relaxers or pain killers. I don’t recommend this for the same reason I would never recommend anal-eze (Article by Violet Blue on unsafe sex toys, under “Novelty Products Not Safe at Any Speed” is a good coverage on why Anal-Eze is horrible). Anal-Eze, as well as alcohol, pain killers and muscle relaxers numb the nerves. Pain is a good thing when it comes to trying out anal play, it tells you when enough is enough. If you don’t know when enough is enough then you might go farther than enough and that might be enough to send you to the hospital, friend. Another way is just relaxing. A good orgasm or five before playing with the anular region will assure the muscles are relaxed, so would a nice bath or whatever relaxes the person. Getting over the idea that the ass is a no-no region or an “out hole” is another great way to being more, ahem, receptive. Having those negative views towards the ass would certainly stop anyone from enjoying the fun.

Always remember, use love, lube and anything caring that starts with an L. “L’patience”…that’s it, it’s french for patience.
