An anal funnel is a sex toy for enema play. The anal funnel is connected to a flexible tube, which is usually clear for the visual effect. This tube connects to a hollow anal plug. Anal funnels are usually made from heat-, cold- and rust-resistant metal. An anal funnel is sometimes called an ass funnel.
Anal funnels allow people to enjoy enema play on their own or with a submissive partner. They can fill the funnel with any liquid of their choice. A dominant may remove the butt plug and encourage their submissive to hold the liquid inside them or let it run free.
Why are people into anal funnels?
"It offers a unique experience in terms of anal play as it provides a new sensation not typically found with traditional toys. Additionally, it can help those who are looking to experience bigger toys without the fear of discomfort or potential injury. It also provides a more gradual introduction to both anal play and larger toys, which can help to alleviate any anxieties associated with them," explained Mak Adikami, a certified sex expert and co-founder of LustyBoy.com. "Furthermore, it allows users to customize their experience, as they are able to control the speed and pressure of the insertion with the funnel. Ultimately, anal funnels offer users a safe and enjoyable way to explore their bodies and expand their sexual repertoire."
Using an anal funnel on a partner can reinforce a dominant-submissive dynamic that many people find arousing. Receiving an anal funnel puts someone in a vulnerable position, where they must take in any liquid that their dominant partner chooses. Administering an enema can be a power rush for dominants.
The physical sensations surrounding the use of anal funnels and their associated paraphernalia can also arouse submissives. Some like the feeling of having a butt plug attached to an anal funnel inserted into their anus, getting this butt plug removed, or both. Some people feel turned on by the feeling of having a belly full of liquid after receiving an enema. Some people say they can orgasm from enemas as well.
People who have an intense sexual desire for administering or receiving enemas using anal funnels are klismaphiliacs. Dr. Joanna Denko coined the term klismaphilia in 1973 to describe a fetish for enemas. People often discover they have this fetish through routine enemas used to treat conditions like constipation or fecal incontinence, or prepare people for medical tests or surgery. After enjoying these enemas, they may incorporate play with anal funnels into their sex lives.
