For you, and so many others lads, a bit of butt play in the bedroom might be totally out of the question.

Usually it's an exit only orifice, but now and again there'll be someone who fancies giving you a fierce vinegar stroke by popping a finger or two up there.

Now, however, people are using cannabis-based anal suppositories to get a more relaxed and enjoyable anal experience.

According to Ashley Manta, a cannabis sexual health educator, 15-20 minutes after the suppository has been inserted, the user will begin to feel effects like pelvic relaxation, diminished discomfort, heightened pleasure, release of tension and deeper penetration. Sounds like paradise!

"If you are a regular cannabis user like I am, it will be around an hour. Insert it, let it do it's magic, then move to whatever kind of anal stimulation you're looking for.

"People think 'anal sex is going to hurt, so I need to just get through it.

"Anal sex should not hurt. If it hurts you are doing something wrong. You can feel discomfort without pain, and Explore helps alleviate discomfort. Then you also get anal pleasure because of the effects of the THC."

When the suppository is popped up your arse it releases 60mg of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and 10mg of CBD (Cannabidiol), which allows the muscles surrounding the pelvic region to relax.

The THC released is the same in marijuana and gives psychoactive qualities that give users a buzz, contributing to the pleasure. The CBD has anti-inflammatory and analgesic qualities, which contributes to the relaxation.

Sounds interesting...
