Over at Lifehacker, I recently completed a five-article series on all things anal, covering topics like anal toys, prostate massage, and anal sex.

A lot of people are curious about anal play, but too intimidated to start exploring, so I wanted to create a series to demystify the anus.

Check out all of the articles and the amazing original artwork from the Gawker art team (Jim Cooke, Tara Jacoby, and Sam Woolley).
