Anal Torture

Anal torture reinforces the roles in a BDSM relationship: A dominant feels powerful as they torture their submissive’s anus in whatever way, and for however long, they see fit. While an ethical dominant will never abuse their submissive or take advantage of them, knowing that they could can be intensely arousing. At the same time, the submissive feels vulnerable as they must submit to their dominant’s will. It can be incredibly arousing for the submissive to hand over control of their anus to their dominant; and withstanding the torture can be a good way to show they are an excellent submissive.

Dominants may use other BDSM techniques during anal torture. For example, they may use bondage to keep their submissive in place, ensuring they do not move during the torture. They may also simply tell their submissive to stay still. This mental bondage can be just as effective for a well-trained submissive.

Dominants may also blindfold their submissive during anal torture. A blindfold removes the sense of sight, heightening other senses including touch. Submissives may feel the sensations of anal torture more intensely when their dominant takes their sense of sight away.

Spanking is another common activity used within anal torture to heighten the intensity of the play. For example, a dominant might spank their submissive’s buttocks to encourage them to clench their anus. This can increase the sensations the submissive feels when they have something inserted in their anus.

The anus is made up of delicate tissue which can tear during anal torture. For this reason, anal torture is a relatively risky form of BDSM play. Lubricant can help reduce the risk of tearing. The dominant should also clean any instruments or parts of their body they intend to use for anal torture. Sterilization is the safest cleaning method to avoid bacterial infections. Dominants should also use condoms during anal sex and with toys wherever possible, especially if they're sharing toys.
