Background
Anal Play is the general practice of using body parts or sex toys to stimulate nerves in and near the anus and prostate. Anal play can be practiced alone or with partners and can incorporate the use of objects like dildos, vibrators, appendages, electrical devices. It includes more specific practices such as anal sex, fisting, anal e-stim, fingering, rimming, and pegging.
Anatomy
Appeal
The anus and prostate have a high density of nerves that can be stimulated by touch or electrical means to produce pleasurable sensations in the receiving person. Practitioners receiving penetration during anal play may also be interested in psychological aspects related to cultural or social taboos, domination and submission, or as a way to provide pleasure for their partner.

Risk mitigation
Condoms may help to prevent the transmission of certain infections during anal sex, and also may protect users from cross contamination from objects when used as a removable and replaceable protective barrier.
Body safe lubricants designed for sexual play may reduce the risk of abrasion, tears, and entrapping items.
Anything objects into the anus or colon may have physical features prevent them from being lost or lodged entirely inside of the body, such as having long handles that always protrude, or wide bases that prevent full insertion.
When fingering or fisting rubber gloves may help to reduce friction if well lubricated, and help to prevent abrasion, cutting, or tearing from sharp fingernails. Gloves may also reduce the risk of transmitting infection when replaced regularly by preventing cross contamination.
