I suggest going to your local drug store and looking for a product called an enema. It's pretty much a bottle of water that you insert in your rectum and push the water in that cleans you out. Follow the instructions on the box, and I would suggest doing it a few times to make sure you are as clean as you would want to be.

xgod agony auntThe thing about anal sex is that it could severely injure you if not done correctly. First off, lubrication is key. Getting a home enema kit is advised - you can get those in any store with a pharmacy in the section where you find canes, wheelchairs, and diabetic supplies.

You need to empty your bowels --- take some laxatives 6 hours prior to it and evacuate your bowels. Then use the enema and scrub that area thoroughly. The smell alone is really disgusting to many people.

According to detdoctor.co.uk:

Anal sex, if practised with care, is possible for most couples.

It does, however, carry health risks and there are safer sexual practices that couples can enjoy.

The main health risks, which affect both heterosexual and homosexual couples, are described below.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV): there is no doubt that anal intercourse carries a greater risk of transmission of HIV – the virus that can cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) – than other sexual activities, particularly for the receptive partner.

Human papilloma virus and warts: this virus can be transmitted during anal intercourse and that may lead to anal warts.

HPV and anal cancer: unfortunately, certain strains of HPV virus do have carcinogenic (cancer-provoking) potential. There are some types of HPV that cause cancer of the cervix in women and probably also cancer of the throat. Round about the beginning of the present century, research showed that HPV could be isolated from the tissues of many anal cancers. By 2008, it became clear that people who had been anally penetrated by multiple partners were unusually likely to get carcinoma of the anus. A Danish study has recently suggested that gay men may have a 17-fold increase in risk of anal cancer – but close inspection of this paper reveals that the number of people involved was very small. So the case is not quite proven yet, but there are enough data to suggest that if you are going in for anal intercourse, it's safest to do it with only one regular partner.

Hepatitis A (infectious hepatitis): this is a viral infection that can cause jaundice and abdominal pain. Hepatitis A is not usually a life-threatening illness, although sufferers can feel quite ill. It can be transmitted by oral-anal contact.

Hepatitis C: is a cause of progressive and sometimes fatal chronic liver disease. Hepatitis C may be transmitted by anal intercourse, although this seems to be a rare occurrence. Sharing of equipment for intravenous drug use is a far more important risk for transmission.

Escherichia coli (E. coli): may sometimes cause mild to severe, or even (very rarely) fatal, gastroenteritis. It is one of many viruses and bacteria that can be transmitted by oral-anal contact. Some E. coli strains (uropathic E. coli) can also cause urinary tract infections (UTIs), ranging from cystitis to pyelonephritis – a serious kidney infection. E. coli very readily crosses the short distance between the female anus and the female urinary opening, so causing a urinary infection. Anal intercourse can facilitate this transfer, particularly if it is immediately followed by vaginal intercourse.

Protection

Avoiding anal sex altogether is of course the best way of avoiding these risks.

There are other, safer sexual practices that can be exciting and rewarding, but many couples may still wish to try the anal route.

The use of condoms and water-based lubricants, such as K-Y Jelly, will offer some protection.

Other lubricants may cause condoms to split, as will over-energetic thrusting without adequate lubrication.

Specially toughened condoms designed for anal intercourse may offer more protection.

How to have anal intercourse safely

Anal intercourse involves the penetration of the anus and rectum with the erect penis for the purpose of sexual stimulation.

It is possible for both men and women to 'receive' it, although care is needed for it to be safe and comfortable.

Ensure the anal area is clean and the bowel is empty. This is important both aesthetically and practically. If the bowel is empty, there is no risk of the receptive partner passing faeces.

First try gently inserting a lubricated finger, perhaps covered by a condom or glove into the anus. This will enable the receiving partner to find out whether penetration is comfortable and enjoyable. Having managed to accommodate one finger, you can run it around the anal canal – gently stretching it. This must be done delicately so as not to cause pain or injury.

If this is successfully achieved, the couple may agree to try with a well-lubricated penis or with a butt plug (a broad-based anal dilator), dildo or vibrator (see below about the risks of sex aids and anal sex).

Gentleness, care, adequate lubrication and anal relaxation are required, not the insertive partner pushing harder! If condoms are used for penile penetration, which is advisable to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted disease, it is important to use a water-based lubricant. The insertive partner must be gentle with any thrusting, so as to give the receptive partner time to allow the sphincter to relax. With time and practice, this may become easier.

I have heard from gay male friends of mine that the trick is to use the bathroom several hours beforehand, and to fast afterwards, meaning don't eat anything after you go #2. This should ensure a pleasantly clean experience. :)
