Backdoor play can be highly erotic, but it can also be uncomfortable if you don’t know how to prep and play.

Anal Play: Positions, Prep & Pleasure!

(00:05):

You're listening to the Sex with Dr. Jess podcast. Sex and relationship advice you can use tonight.

Brandon (00:15):

Welcome to the podcast. I'm your co-host Brandon Ware, with my always lovely other half Dr Jess, surrounded by a table full of dongs.

Jess (00:26):

Why are you laughing so hard?

Brandon (00:28):

Because I just said that we are surrounded by a massive table full of all sorts of sex toys. Like ridiculous amounts.

Jess (00:35):

Dongs on dongs dongs. Yeah I've been receiving massive shipments of sex toys over the last couple of weeks because of this new show I'm hosting with TSC and CityTV in Canada. So it's a shopping channel type show. TSC doesn't stand for The Shopping Channel. It stands for Today's Shopping Choice. But that's a whole other thing, but anyhow it's like the Home Shopping Network in the States but it's here in Canada and it's a sex toy show and it's Friday nights at midnight. And it's interestingly not on TSC , its on CityTV, which is a regular national network so folks can definitely check it out. But these boxes of sex toys I've been receiving, their massive. I can fit in these boxes. So my whole office, the floor, the desk, the chairs covered in sex toys from LoveHoney from Shots America from Lelo, from Womanizer, from Romp, Arcwave, from We-Vibe, from High on Love and then some. So there's kind of I feel like Ariel, is that her name? In the little mermaid. Where I'm like, “look at this stuff, isn't it neat? I got dildos and anal plugs aplenty.”

Brandon (01:48):

I like that's where your mind goes, to a Disney film. Only ours is about dongs and butt plugs and lube and all sorts of sex toys.

Jess (01:55):

But she says, ‘how many wonders can one cavern hold? Looking around here, she’s got everything.”

Brandon (02:05):

The lyrics here really jive with what you've got going on.

Jess (02:08):

Right? She had who’s its and what's its galore. She even had a thingamabobs. I feel like there should be a sex toy called a thingamabob. Anyhow, I wasn't intending to plug my new show, but do check it out. CityTV Fridays at midnight.
