DOUCHING 101: A guide to preparing for anal play by Luke D

Douching is one of those bits of sexual preparation that, whilst not essential, often makes things a little easier for all concerned. In essence, it’s the act of squirting water up your butt to clean the way before anal sex – shit happens, sure, but minimising the odds of it happening always makes me a little less paranoid when I bottom.

Douching itself is actually pretty simple, and there are two main methods – bulb and showerhead. This guide is going to run you through both of them – though it’s a pretty self-explanatory process, there are a few tips and tricks it’s always beneficial to know.

Bulb douches are more portable and a little easier to use, but the process takes a little longer than with a shower.

STEP 1: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

Find yourself a loo with a sink (for bulb douching) or a bathroom with a shower and toilet (for showerhead). Make sure there’s loo roll, and that everything works. Next, get your chosen method ready.

STEP 2: PREPARATION

Bulb douches will need a sink full of lukewarm water, while shower douches will need, you guessed it, a shower.

For the bulb douche, take out the nozzle and submerge the bulb. Squeeze the air out so the bulb sucks up the water, then reattach the nozzle.

For a shower douche, you’ll want to unscrew the showerhead and fix on the douche attachment in its place, then make sure the water is lukewarm and running at a low-to-medium pressure.

Apply some lube to your anus if you feel the need to, as it can ease the initial entry of the douche.

STEP 3: THE ACT ITSELF

This bit is probably the simplest – for bulb douches, insert the nozzle into your anus as deeply as you feel comfortable with, then squeeze the bulb. Once you’ve emptied the bulb, keep it squeezed – if you release the pressure on it whilst the nozzle is still inside you it’ll suck all the water back in, as well as whatever else is in your butt at the time. This is an undesirable outcome.

For shower douches, simply ensure the water is of an amenable temperature and pressure, then slide it up your butt till you feel like you’re full of water.

Once you’ve filled up on water, it’s time to squirt it out, so waddle yourself over to the loo and push out the water. Then simply repeat the process until the water runs clear and you feel comfortable and confident – easy!

Note: Over-douching can upset the bacteria lining your gut, so make sure you don’t do it too long or too often. Healthy bowels are happy bowels!

TENGA Masturbators at Clonezone: Why choose Tenga?

I’m really excited that TENGA Masturbators are back at Clonezone, and here’s why:

  • They are easy to use. You don’t need to read a long-instruction manual or spend ages plating with wires and charging separate parts to enjoy Tenga. Even the rechargeable ones. Simply take the product out of its packaging, get some lube on your dick (as well as the toy) and you’re ready to go.
  • They feel real. With their internal textures, Tenga toys mimic the internal anatomy of your partner(s). Your Tenga is controlled by your cupping of it, your grip and your control of the air valve – meaning you can manipulate your wank to feel exactly how you like. That’s why one’s nicknamed the ‘Deep Throat’.
  • Everyone can use them. It doesn’t matter about your penis size, erectile dysfunction issues, premature ejaculation or experience with sex toys – Tenga was created to combat all of these issues. You are in total control with Tenga; meaning you can cater your masturbation to your tastes. In fact, Tenga’s are particularly beneficial to those that suffer from premature ejaculation as they help you train your penis into a rhythm using a realistic internal texture.
  • From affordable to luxury treat. No-one is expecting you to dive head first into Tenga’s £189.99 ‘guybrator’ (The FLIP Zero EV) but you can begin with the few-times-use Cups which begin at just £11.99. These cock treats are a perfect baby step into masturbation play with sex toys.
  • They can help with your performance. With their lifelike internal textures, these sex toys for men are an ideal way to train your penis out of any issues you may encounter with erectile dysfunction (due to motion control) and premature ejaculation. How? “Use your Tenga hands-free, possibly between the mattress and bed frame, and ‘fuck it‘ like a human. This won’t work for everyone but lots of guys have credited an improvement with their performance control using this method.” Give it a go – it’s worth a shot.
  • Tenga give back. Tenga sponsors various athletes and has supported various charities over the years. We stock the Keith Haring Foundation cups
