Anal douching is basically the act of flushing out one’s rectal cavity before any sexual activity has occurred, in order to ensure as close to a squeaky-clean experience as possible, for all involved. Naturally, trace amounts are somewhat inevitable, but overall, if you want to enjoy a faeces-free sex life, preparation is key. Indeed, while not all queer men practice anal sex on a regular basis, if you do, you tend to develop routines and methods to minimise the presence of faeces during sexual intercourse (unless, of course, you’re into that sort of thing, which is another topic entirely).
Being a sexually active gay man now crash-landing into my mid-30s at breakneck speed, I would be lying if I said that I haven’t developed an intimate relationship with shit.
