Hi handsome! Today we’re going to talk about the least awkward topic of all gay sex talk – anal douching (somewhat sarcastic)! 

To precursor this blog post, not every bottom needs to douche. It is all based on many factors such as your personal preference, your diet, any supplements that you may take, and your partner's wants and needs. Do what feels right to you, as long as you do it safely!

Some tops prefer when their bottom partner isn’t clean (in my neighborhood, we call this raw-dogging it), while some bottoms will refuse to have anal sex unless their booty is squeaky clean---and vice-versa. Nevertheless, you should always do what makes you feel the most comfortable, and to talk about this open and honestly with your partner(s) to make sure that you are both on the same page. It’s important to note that it is natural to not be 100% clean at all times. It will most likely happen at some point when you have an accident. Just shrug it off and keep on popping that booty, trust us, your top probably doesn’t mind, if he is a top. You kind of know the risks since we are all very well aware that we humans poop. So, that is where Anal Douches come into play (literally).

So, what is Anal Douching, you might ask? Anal Douching refers to cleaning out your bum by shooting water inside of it and releasing any unwanted waste.


You may be surprised to learn that there are many ways that this can be accomplished. Soon, you will be a pro at douching! 


Let’s start with the different types of Anal Douches for gay men:


Metal / Shower Attachment Douches:

If you’ve never douched before, this will sound intimidating, but it’s not and can be very convenient. Most Metal Douches have attachments so that you can hook it up to your shower (I am no where near handy and I hooked this up within 5 minutes, so believe me, if I can do it, you can do it). This makes it very convenient to fill yourself up with water (make sure it’s not too hot, that’s not a fun place to have a burn) and to clean yourself out right in the shower, or the toilet if it’s close enough to your shower. Just make sure to lube up your Metal Douche so that insertion is quick, easy, and painless. We recommend this option if A: you have a shower B: you don’t need to be private about it or share the bathroom with roommates, and C: It gives you the most confident, deepest clean (and by deep we mean DEEP---If you use larger dildos or toys or have a well-endowed partner (you lucky dog), you will feel more confident with using one of these bad boys). It’s not exactly the most inconspicuous option, but it gets the job done quickly and easily. Not to mention, having the shower running (and maybe music playing) is a perfect way to excuse yourself before gay anal sex to douche without your partner hearing an aquatic orchestra. It’s much sexier to tell your partner that you’re going to shower before sex rather than to tell them you’ll "be right back" and have them hear some interesting noises coming from the bathroom (talk about a party pooper)! Another thing that we must mention is that this is the more foolproof way of cleaning yourself out, because the water stream is always constant, and you can always be sure that you will be clean as a whistle after using a Shower Douche. Click Here to view our Metal and/or Shower Attachment Douches!


Bulb Douches:

Definitely the most popular types of Anal Douches are Bulb Douches. They are also usually the cheapest, and also the easiest to use. Normally, there are two parts to it. A bulb that you squeeze to suck the water in and out, and the nozzle, which is the part your butt will become very familiar to. You fill the bulb with warm (not hot, PLEASE) water and then insert it into your butt / anus / fun place and then squeeze the bulb to rinse out your insides with water. We recommend keeping the water inside of you for a few seconds, and then release (into the toilet, hopefully a given). Do this a few times (but don’t do it too many, as this can upset the mucus levels in your booty and cause issues). We usually do it twice and we’re good to go – haven’t had any bad experiences from doing it twice, so no need to do it more than that in our opinions.


Other Douches:

The above two categories (Metal / Shower Attachment Douches and Plastic / Silicone / Rubber Douches are the most popular types of Douches for Gay Men. However, there’s some other options as well.

• Discreet Douches: Perfect for when you’re on vacation, going to a party or club, and so many more instances – Discreet Douches are usually small, and, well, discreet. Our favorite has to be the water bottle douches. They look like (drumroll, please) water bottles, and no one would ever know the difference. Just make sure they don’t attempt to drink it, PLEASE!

• Novelty Douches: And, just when you thought that you’ve seen just about everything, you can find specialty quirky Novelty Douches galore. From figurine-looking douches to themed douches, you really could rinse out with just about anything!


So, the question you have now is probably is douching a necessity?

This comes down to personal preference or the preference of the couple. You could easily make arguments for or against it, so it will most likely come down to personal preference of either yourself or your partner(s). Your own body will clean itself generally well, and most people can go their whole lives without ever needing to douche. But, there are many factors that go into play, and if your diet is anything like mine, you’ll probably want to do it just in case. But if you eat super healthy or take digestion aid medicine, then you will likely never need to use a douche. Personally, it’s worth it if I can keep eating cheeseburgers and participate in Taco Tuesday.


Is it harmful to douche?

Disclaimer – while sometimes I dress up as a doctor, I am not actually one, so take that into account before continuing with this article.

I douche about 4-5 times a month and have done so for the past 8 years and have had no problems or side effects whatsoever. With this being said, it’s not good to douche all the time. There is bacteria back there that is good for your body and aids in digestion, fighting off not so good bacteria, and for absorbing nutrients, so you don’t want to power wash your booty hole every day. This can lead to stomach aches and other issues, so it’s important to do it in moderation.

Important Tips:

• Be careful to make sure the water is not too hot (but not too cold, warm water is the key)

• Start out with just a little bit of water, don’t fill it up all the way on the first go

• Use plenty of Lube for any insertion
