According to Kay Love, a significant part of the taboo around anal sex dwells on societal norms and the unrealistic depiction via porn. It is also intriguing that the associated stigma might make it more appealing to some as the forbidden aspect can be arousing. However, despite the thrill, the lack of proper knowledge on engaging in anal play can lead to serious harm due to the sensitivity and the non-self-lubricating nature of the anus. Kay Love walks her listeners through safe practices. These include understanding the pleasure points, importance of quality lubricants, condoms for STIs protection, starting with a small size and gradual increment and above all, patience. The host emphasizes the potential for anal sex to be a pleasurable experience when undertaken safely and consensually, while advocating for sexual safety.
