Paracetamol before anal sex

Don't know whether this is an upcoming tendency or not, but some of the younger who want receive anal sex take a Paracetamol suppository right before to lower pain and to be bit more moist.

I experienced same when I had first time as the passive part and I indeed felt less pain, but it wasn't gone completely.

Nowadays I don't need any Paracetamol preparation. But my impression is that more and more young guys do it.

Has anyone experiences with that?

And what do you think, is Paracetamol prep before anal sex an upcoming trend?

Pain is the bodies way of saying slow down or stop. To lessen that feeling could have adverse effects afterwards. Tears, bruising, or other unknown damage to delicate tissues that the pain would have alerted the person to.

I do not think lessening the pain is a good idea. Especially as a beginner.

Is the fat used in suppositories compatible with condoms?

Be careful with the dosage, paracetamol (Tylenol here in the US) can be toxic to the liver.

Interesting! I've never heard of this, wonder if it's a regional thing that's not made it's way here yet?

Never felt any pain during Anal sex and wouldn't want to do anything to reduce the sensation personally!

I use a very large, fairly lifelike dildo for anal penetration. It hurts at first when the sphincter is not yet relaxed. I feel pain especially at the moment when the dildo penetrates my sphincter. But that's not bad for me because it only hurts for a short time and it doesn't hurt much. Once the dildo has penetrated my sphincter, the muscle relaxes and the dildo can easily slide back and forth in my rectum. Although the dildo is really big, I no longer have any pain. When the dildo hits the curve at the end of the rectum, it pulls painfully in my bowel. If the dildo is moved sensitively, this is not a problem. When penetrating with a real penis, the active partner has to be a little careful not to hurt the passive partner. If anal intercourse is painful without painkillers, something is fundamentally wrong with the penetration.

I think it's not common

You had less pain the first time you received anal sex? What experience did you compare it to?

Thx for your advice, it wasn't correctly formulated from my side, I'm sorry. So here comes the explanation:

- When my then-boyfriend tried to enter my 🍑 it wasn't possible for him on that day. He said I was so tight he wasn't able to get in.

- The next day he first prepared my bum with an anal plug before he tried it again to bring in his 🍆. It took a while to enter again but finally he was successful. Long story short: luckily he came quickly because it was extremely painful for me, I first regretted getting myself into anal sex at all.

- The day after he motivated me to have another try and give it a chance, but I was in strong anticipation of that massive pain , so it wasn't possible for him to enter. He got the idea of giving me a Paracetamol suppository right before then. I first was mistrustful whether it should be better then. Summarised I still felt pain during penetrating at the beginning but it ebbed away even during he was fuckin me.

- In the following times I wanted to try without getting a suppo prep but the pain was too strong for me.

I hope I could explain it now in a better and especially correct way. I apologise for any upcoming confusion

Just to add a corollary for those using Paracetamol to block pain, large independent clinically controlled trials have found it little better than a placebo:

https://www.ox.ac.uk/research/what%E2%80%99s-point-paracetamol#:~:text=Large%2C%20good%20and%20independent%20clinical,has%20been%20pretty%20thoroughly%20tested.

The evidence is that it probably does not work at all for chronic pain. Large, good and independent clinical trials and reviews from the Cochrane Library show paracetamol to be no better than placebo for chronic back pain or arthritis. This is at the maximum daily dose in trials lasting for three months, so it has been pretty thoroughly tested.

Acute pains are sudden in onset and go away after a while (headache or pain after an operation, for instance). For these, reviews from the Cochrane Library show that paracetamol can provide pain relief, but only for a small number of people. For postoperative pain, perhaps one in four people benefit; for headache perhaps one in ten. This evidence comes from systematic reviews, often of large numbers of good clinical trials.

These are robust and trustworthy results. If paracetamol works for you, that’s great. But for most, it won’t.

What is not in doubt is the harm that taking too much Paracetamol can cause to your Liver and sometimes Kidneys.

@Danto

Thank you for your detailed explanation. I understand your problem because I also had big problems with my anal penetration in the beginning. When I tried to insert a dildo into my bowel for the first time about 25 years ago, it wasn't possible at first. Then I tried using thinner objects, which worked, but it was still painful to insert. When I then bought the dildo in an online store, which I still use for anal penetration, I was quite shocked but also fascinated by how long and thick the dildo is. I manage to insert it into my rectum even though 25 years ago I couldn't even insert a rod with a diameter of 5 mm without pain. This means that the rectum of anyone who has no rectal diseases can accommodate a penis, dildo or anal plug. In my experience, it's mainly a matter of relaxation. If I associate the insertion of a dildo or penis with pain, because I have usually or perhaps even always experienced it as painful, it is difficult to relax my sphincter. The body refuses to relax the sphincter even when I want it to. Since I have control over the dildo during my anal penetration, I can stop immediately if it becomes too painful. You have the great advantage of having a partner. That's something wonderful. But it also means that you are not (or at least not alone) in control of the movements during penetration. You and your partner can try out how it works best without hurting. Perhaps your partner can start by inserting a finger into your rectum and stimulating you anally. Unlike women, men have an area that can be sexually stimulated quite directly, the prostate, which can be reached via the rectum. Perhaps your partner could massage your prostate with his finger before penetrating you anally without bringing you to climax so that you can relax and be in the right mood to be penetrated by his penis. If your partner uses enough lubricant, it should be comfortable. For hygienic reasons, he can also wear examination gloves. When your body realizes that anal manipulation can be sexually arousing, it will be easier for you to relax your sphincter and enjoy anal penetration. In the event that you and your partner want to use other objects for help, these objects must be suitable. This means that they must have a rounded tip, not be too thick and non-toxic for the intestines and ideally also be a little flexible, i.e. not completely rigid.

When I then bought the dildo in an online store, which I still use for anal penetration, I was quite shocked but also fascinated by how long and thick the dildo is.

It seems that manufacturers do not cater much to a beginners needs. In stores or on on-line searches, most dildos are so large they look like comical spoofs for a porn cartoon.

I was never much fascinated, mainly disappointed and exasperated in trying to find something reasonable in size.

I don’t know if it’s related but Neil Patrick Harris had a series since cancelled about a gay man’s experiences dating in New York. He was in a relationship that broke apart and one of his new hookups had an unusually large cock. He suggested Botox injections to help complete anal insertion🙈Real or fantasy?

Botox??? It sounds like Fantasy 🤣 Btw. Botox is toxic and affects the nerves so that the muscles in the area are paralyzed. Medication to relax the muscles is probably more effective as one of the possible causes of the pain is removed. If the sphincter is not relaxed, it is very painful to open the muscle from the outside, e.g. with a penis or dildo. Another cause of pain and even injury can be careless penetration of the rectum or the use of force. I think it‘s better not to abuse medicines for sexual activities.

As far as the size of dildos and penises is concerned, there is a good reason why real penis usually are not so big like the supersized Dildos or penis in porno movies 😉

How would this be any different than taking a 500 mg capsule of acetaminophen orally before anal sex. I’ve heard of people doing that before. Seems much more reasonable than suppositories.

I actually have a box of those suppositories in my bedside table that my late husband used for pain relief in the months before he died. He had kidney failure, so NSAIDs were off limits to him, and the suppositories seemed to get into his system faster than the oral form. The suppositories are a smaller dose at 650 mg verses taking two 500 mg extra strength Tylenol. I have seen them used on a family member in the emergency department to reduce a dangerously high fever. I used them once for a headache because it would work quickly.

But I’ve never heard of or considered using them for anal sex (and I’ve been penetrated by guys who felt like they were driving a freight train into my tunnel). If I thought I needed to prepare for painful sex with medicine, then I’d prefer the capsules or pills because I’m going to be using my anus and rectum for recreational activities soon after. Otherwise, bring out the lube and the toys and let’s have some fun working up to your thick member.

@Danto As far as I understand your sphincter doesn’t become relaxed if the penis of your partner is allready in your rectum. In my experiance the sphincter is relaxing a few seconds after the dildo is inserted in my rectum. I need theese seconds (maybe 5 to 10 seconds) for relaxing. After that the sphincter and the rectum are not hurting anymore. Maybe your partner can stop moving to give you the time you need for relaxing and opening your sphincter.

I’d avoid use painkillers before you start. It’s a body’s way of warning you you’re doing damage.

The advice about relaxation, both physical and mental is a far better way to get started.

Playing after a hot bath or long shower, playing in a room that’s warmer than usual, having lots of lube to make yourself and your object as slippery as possible: all these are small pieces of the puzzle of pain avoidance in penetration.

Also, having several objects of different diameter is a help in getting started. To be honest, starting with your own fingers and thumb (clean, cut and file your nails first) can be a great way to familiarize your butt with entry from outside.

If you have some pain from stretching the muscles afterwards, it’s a reminder to make more gentle progress next time.

Taking painkillers or numbing before you start is risky and might let you inflict damage. Yes, a relaxant is a help in theory but suppressing pain sensation is risky. Proceed with care.

A lot of women experience pain the first time/s they have vaginal sex. The first time i had anal sex i'd already had plenty of other things in my rectum, pain was not an issue. Both are orifices in the body that can stretch and accommodate. Practice makes perfect. :-)

i think, for the most part, if pain is involved it's more a matter of operator error than anything else. Taking time to dilate and plenty of lube make more sense to me than numbing the region or using a 'pain' blocker.
