Common types of anal toys include: | |||
* Butt plugs | |||
* Dildos | |||
* Anal beads | |||
* Prostate massagers | |||
* Anal vibrators | |||
* [[Electrostimulation]] toys | |||
These toys can vary in size, shape, texture, and functionality, allowing individuals to choose the one that best suits their preferences and comfort level. Some anal insertables are designed for solo use, while others are intended for use with a partner. | |||

Having anal sex (penis in anus) without a condom (''barebacking'') is the sex act most likely to result in transmission of [[Sexually transmitted infection|sexually transmitted infections]] (STIs) because the anus and rectum are made of delicate tissue that can easily tear and provide an entry point for pathogens. During anal sex, both participants are susceptible to the following STIs:<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=How STIs are transmitted {{!}} SF.gov |url=https://www.sf.gov/cityclinic-how-stis-transmit |access-date=2026-02-09 |website=www.sf.gov}}</ref> | |||
* Chlamydia | |||
* Gonorrhea | |||
* Hepatitis B | |||
* Hepatitis C | |||
* Herpes | |||
* HIV | |||
* HPV (warts) | |||
* Mpox | |||
* Mycoplasma genitalium (M. gen) | |||
* Syphilis | |||
During oral-anal sex (also known as rimming or analingus), both partners are susceptible to the following STIs:<ref name=":0" /> | |||
* Herpes | |||
* HPV (warts) | |||
* Mpox | |||
* Syphilis | |||
* Gonorrhea (less common) | |||
The chances of getting HIV from oral sex is essentially zero, as HIV does not transmit through saliva (spit), and the mouth is naturally resistant against HIV.<ref name=":0" /> The person using their mouth is susceptible to infections by pathogens found in the digestive tract, known as the [[fecal-oral route]]: | |||
* Amebiasis | |||
* Campylobacter | |||
* Cryptosporidium | |||
* [[Giardia]] | |||
* Hepatitis A | |||
* Salmonella | |||
* [[Shigella]] | |||

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. | 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. | ||

Not sharing lube, especially when fisting will help reduce transmission risk of STIs (especially such as Hepatitis C which can survive outside the body) | |||
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. | 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 also reduce the risk of transmitting infection when replaced regularly by preventing cross contamination. | 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.

Starting with smaller toys and gradually increasing in size can help the body adjust and minimize the risk of injury. | |||
Choosing high-quality anal toys made from body-safe materials, such as 100% platinum cure silicone, can help reduce the risk of adverse reactions or complications<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-09-14 |title=Why looking for “Skin Safe” silicone is a non-starter. {{!}} SquarePegToys® |url=https://www.squarepegtoys.com/support/why-looking-for-skin-safe-silicone-is-a-non-starter/ |access-date=2024-02-21 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2016-04-01 |title=What is the difference between platinum grade and medical grade silicone? {{!}} SquarePegToys® |url=https://www.squarepegtoys.com/support/medical-grade-vs-platinum-grade/ |access-date=2024-02-21 |language=en-US}}</ref>. | |||
Regular cleaning and disinfection of anal toys are also important to prevent the spread of bacteria and infection. | |||
