Can you overstretch your anus?

The largest plug I use successfully is 3.75" wide and my ass goes back to its normal appearance after I'm done playing.

To my mind you are not likely to damage your anus if you take things slowly and use plenty of lube.

For me the object of playing with my hole is to have pleasure and the pleasure just happens to be more intense with larger toys and hands.

Things you can do to lower the risks of tearing are to practice on a regular basis, apply jojoba oil regularly and always work up from small to large. I have recently started using X-lube, which is noticeably more slippery than other powder lubes.

Finally I recommend cleaning out before play. Remnants of poo containing seeds or other hard elements can scratch and irritate too.

I regularly have 3+inch wide toys in my ass while a 4 inch wide toy is the maximum for me at the moment and my ass looks, feels and operates the same way it always has.

Am in agreement with @pyewacket and others in that a well executed stretching program has been helpful in improving my own anal health. I agree with those who clean out well before any anal play that involves stretching. Those who caution not only about the presence of large feces but also about particulates that become abrasive are, spot-on.

I find this not much different from any other program that balances both range of motion and strength. I've managed to find toys that are challenging and work well for me. I've encountered toys that work for others but are not sized or shaped for me.

I've lubed well, learned to relax, accepted what my anal canal and sphincters are telling me and I alternate between stretching workouts and several days of relaxation to ensure that I'm not going in a direction which limits my range of motion.

I have stretched my anus to extremes over the years. I love the feeling of fullness and push the limits whenever I can. Started using the small end of a pool stick when I was 16, then the large end. Progressed up to the large end of a plastic baseball bat, then a full size wooden bat. Had a woman fist me a few times. Everyone says your anus muscles will recede back to normal, but I wouldn't know. I'm sure I have had many small tears, many, many times over the years but also, I haven't went without stuffing long enough to see if it would return to a "normal" state!

Yes, you can spread your anus, using anything, even your fingers. This can only be done while you're fully naked and your anus is fully exposed.

I have often wondered that myself, but no matter how much or how often I stretch my hole, it always goes back to normal. I am in the three inch plus range and while my hole pouts for a while, you would never know what happened a few hours later. I have watched Kirk J. many times, and I love what he can do with his hole. I would love to be able to gape wide open, but I just can,t.

Searched "anal fisting" and read a little bit of historical stretching by members on the sight. I am a light weight but enjoy stretching my donut quite a bit but have always laid off for periods which for the most part returned everything to OEM specs. Lots of good info. thanks zity. happy stretching

This week I went form 2" objects to 2 1/4 in. Now while this may not seem like much,for me it was. How I managed this was by using a speculum and opening myself with it until I t just ached a bit and then leaving it in. The speculum opens much further inside, at the tips, than it does at the opening. So, it won't come out. there is a very strong urge to expel, but of course, that's not possible. So, after a while i start to reduce the speculum size until it moves a bit, then I pull on it and by doing so open myself more. By doing this in stages there comes a point where with a little effort I can pull out the open speculum. Then I measure it. I never do it to the point that there is pain, just a nice ache. After, the ache stays for a bit reminding me of the stretch.

While my rectum is still tight, I do find that the entrance to my rectum stay a bit more open. Does anyone else find this to be the case?

I love stretching my hole and have found myself increasing the size as I achieve the next level. So far I am up to 3.8" diameter in a soft butt plug. Getting a firmer butt plug inserted is a challenge though. My latest toys the Squarepeg Dino Plug and Dino Stretch have been giving me many hours of enjoyment. To the point I just ordered the Walrus in the hopes it will be easy to insert and work with though also a challenge to eventually, if ever, get fully inserted. I love having my anus stretched and gaping (and especially showing my rosebud) and find it always seems to get back to normal where it is even a little tight trying to get my finger inserted initially. My biggest problem is length with girth. At some point I cannot take a large and LONG dildo without bottoming out before it has been fully inserted even if the girth is not a problem. I am trying to look for shorter, bigger and somewhat semi-soft dildos that will adjust to my body design as they are inserted. The softness of the Squarepeg supersoft products seems to be a perfect softness. Firm enough to hold its' shape but soft enough to adjust to your body contour. As of yet, I have not found any problems with my anus reverting back to its' original tightness. The biggest difference is that I can now easily insert my bigger toys without very much warmup as opposed to before when I first started. Cannot wait till my Giant Walrus Dildo arrives. Should be in a few days.

When using really large toys, even though they're medium hard and I go relatively slow, it seems i sometimes get some light pink blood on them. A few times it's been at the opening from stretching too fast perhaps, but most of the time it's from far inside. Is the rectum not stretching wide enough for 4" toys or something? Or am I hitting the folds of the rectum or getting to the valves to the colon or something?

I'm not pushing hard on the toy and moving very slowly, but i am stretching. wondering if this means its just too big for me or if i need to stretch even slower to work up larger.

As for the anus itself, works just as before more or less, though I can voluntarily loosen it more than say my wife can hers 😃 but no leakage a few hrs after play (a bit just after but i think thats normal).

Unless you need stitches you wont over stretch it. Your anus is very elastic not unlike a rubber band. Keagles whether natural or e-stim encouraged will tighten it right up, I promise!

A video on porn hub showed a guy inserting really large objects, one wa as close to the size of a traffic cone. His ass looked like a huge vagina just didn't look right from all the stretching, but he is an extreme case.

Think of your anus like your wallet you can stretch it but it might not recover

The bigger you go the longer it takes for your bung to recover. If you give it some time in between and don't force anything or rip the tissue you should not have a butthole big enough to drive 4 monkeys on mopeds through. Stay safe people

That was an excellent article that everyone should read even experienced fisters and fistees.

I knew a woman who worked for a gastroenterology group. She refused to have anal sex, because she told me that she saw numerous women who had destroyed the elasticity of their anal muscles. She said that it wasn't the discomfort that concerned her, but the long-term effects. She also told me that frequent anal sex can lead to anal cancer. Not being in the medical field, I haven't a clue. Nonetheless, we had regular vaginal sex, which was fine, until it got boring.

HELP! --need ideas for treating a "torn anus". I don't know how or how bad, butt after an especially hard stool that had edges, my a-hole was really sore. Now I can't insert anything over a half inch diameter...and even 'normal, well shaped stool' passing is painfull. I'm currently using Prep H am & pm, butt it doesn't seem to help much.

Susie, any ideas? Missstress? --Mashie?

Prep H is good. Plain water enemas of 8 ounces or less may help passge of new stools when you need to defecate.

Keep toys out of your ass until it thoroughly heals.

Drink more water, use Miralax a few times a day for soft stools.

@boxcar sounds like you likely have hemroids or a fissure. No way to know to for sure unless a doctor diagnoses you though. I'm leaning towards roids though. You'll need to increase your Fibre intake and maybe even consider a Fibre supplement such as psylium husk. They also have pills that will help shrink the size of the hemroids available otc at the pharmacy. Those worked the best ime.

You should take a break from inserting anything in your anus until you have no more pain, at all. If the roids aren't fully healed, everytime you insert anything will just aggravate them further.

Once you are fully healed, I'd suggest getting a rectal dialator set and slowly increasing in size from the smallest. Even if you were capable of taking much bigger before, start off small. Consider it a soft reset. Do this to practice relaxing your muscles so you can use the same technique when passing a stool.

In the mean time, take a serious anal break and allow yourself to heal!

@boxcar Even if it may feel sore, I don't think your butt could be badly hurt by a rough stool assuming a reasonable diet.

FWIW, for around a decade or more, before I came into the heyday of anal play, I had a persistent fissure that really crimped my capacity to take what was my first toy, a reddish jelly buttplug. I think there may have been some fungus, and the way the fungus of athlete's foot leaves you raw, I was sore right in the ass-crease. (The dermatologist who looked at it said it wasn't fungus.) Whatever it was, I eventually solved it with an herbal salve and time and good luck. Since then I've amazed myself 😃

Regarding overstretching, I think most people are capable safely exploring their limits. I know I have to psyche myself when going to the next level, develop my hunger, imagine taking it inside. Sometimes alternating with an incrementally smaller toy that I can take successfully. Just like the vast majority of humans can rely on thirst to regulate their fluids, I think most can rely on pain to bring a halt when play exceeds one's capacity.

As an aside, I'll observe that one develops humility when trying and failing to fully insert a toy. It leaves me trembling, with a gnawing hunger to take it in some future session, scheming how to train and prepare myself.
