Rectum: Sex Dictionary

Developed by the Staff at Sex Therapy in Philadelphia

Rectum

The rectum is a tube shaped organ that extends from the colon to the anus.

Pleasure Physiology When aroused, the tissues of the rectum can become sexually sensitive and respond well to stimulation that produces feelings of pressure, motion, and fullness. Additionally, some people enjoy the feeling of vibration inside the rectum. For male-bodied people, the prostate is located on the upper wall of the rectum (toward the belly), and can be stimulated directly by inserting fingers or toys into the rectum. Because the wall between the vagina and rectum is fairly thin, the g-spot and/or clitoris may be indirectly stimulated during rectal play with a female-bodied person.

Lubricant Rectal tissue is very thin, does not self-lubricate and therefore may be prone to tearing during play if lubricant is not used. Although many different lubricants are adequate for rectal play, thick water based lubricant is recommended. Thicker lubricant provides more protection for rectal tissues, as it creates more ‘padding’ between rectal tissue and the object being inserted.

Feces in the Rectum Generally, when there is no feeling of needing to evacuate the bowels, the rectum will be empty. Feces moves from the colon to the rectum when someone feels the urge to evacuate. If this urge is ignored, the need to evacuate will dissipate and the feces in the rectum will move back to the colon. There may be trace elements of fecal matter located in the rectum; most of this will be located around the anal opening and can be removed with a wet-wipe or soap and water.

Important Hygienic Note When pleasuring a female bodied person, it is extremely important not to go from stimulating the rectum to stimulating the vaginal area. If bacteria from the rectum are transferred to the vagina, vaginal infection may occur.
