Hi, we are a couple of 39/35 years. We want to explore anal sex. Looking at the anus and penis size, it can be painful and unsafe. Is there any lubricant, or medication available to help the penetration? Shall a condom be used? What are the precautions one should take for the same from health and hygiene perspective? Appreciate your advice.
