Fact or Fiction: Does Anal Sex Make Your Butt Bigger?

Therefore, it’s usually easy to identify the source or sources of some of the wacky rumors circulating here—and we’ve heard some killer ones! You probably won’t be surprised to hear that there are a lot of myths and false facts around sex, sexuality, and butt stuff in particular. This leads us to the subject of butt size and anal sex. At least some folks started to ponder (and Google), “Does anal sex make your butt bigger?” somewhere along the line.

In this instance, we can honestly state that we do not currently have any reliable theories regarding the origin of that query. Perhaps a coworker of someone’s friend’s husband came across anything online while looking up, “Does anal sex hurt?” Maybe a joke about a butt plug or an anal device went too far. It might even be the subject of a meme! Who knows? However, it doesn’t matter because we are finally answering the most critical issue of the day: does anal intercourse make your butt bigger?

So, Does It?

We have a question of our own before we respond to this one. Do those who are curious about anal sex and more enormous bums mean the booty (buttocks/glutes) or the inner butt (anus/rectum)? To put it another way, are they trying to find out if anal sex lengthens the insides of a butt, or are they trying to find a connection between anal sex and the potential for a more considerable booty, ass, bottom, derriere, buns, or whatever you choose to call it? It’s a crucial difference!

By the way, the answer is no in both situations. Being intelligent, safe, and ready for anal intercourse does not make your butt appear more prominent. At least not forever. We’ll tell you everything, so don’t worry! Additionally, we have information on the advantages of anal intercourse if you’ve been curious.

Anus & Rectum vs Booty

Here is a brief overview of anal anatomy before we go into the specifics of why butt sex—or even playing with anal sex toys, for that matter—won’t grow your butt bigger.

The Inside Stuff

The lowest part of your digestive system, the rectum, enters and exits through your anus, often known as your butthole. The rectum eventually joins the big intestine after extending upward and inward. You are entering your rectum through your anus when you engage in anal intercourse or utilize an anal sex item such as a prostate stimulation massager, butt plug, anal beads, or dildo.

The Outside Stuff

Aside from luscious curves and sensual spank-ability, the outside of your butt is equally as significant as the interior mechanisms we discussed earlier. The gluteal muscles, or “glutes,” are responsible for hip rotation, maintaining your erect posture, and stabilizing your pelvis about your legs. You see, crucial!

When someone mentions the booty, bum, buns, keister, rump, caboose, or derrière, among other terms, they are typically referring to the gluteus maximus. You can attribute those rounded butt cheeks to this muscle, which is the most significant glute muscle.

The natural appearance, size, and shape of your bum are determined by factors such as hormone levels, lifestyle, body composition, and heredity. It has nothing to do with having anal sex, however!

Fact vs Fiction: Anal Stretching

First things first: you won’t significantly or permanently expand or enlarge your rectum and anus under regular, healthy conditions, which can include some cautious, safe, well-prepared anal play or intercourse with lots of lubrication.

Your anus is a pretty exciting organ. It is specifically made to stretch and shrink because it is elastic. This stretchable quality is quite helpful for eliminating food waste and other leftovers that your body doesn’t require. Yes, we are discussing poop! The anus has a thing for that. Naturally, the anus has a regulatory system known as the anal sphincter that prevents it from just admitting things in or expelling them at will.

Since the sphincter is something that may be impacted by anal intercourse, we must discuss it. Three muscles work together to form the sphincter, which surrounds the anal entrance. Consider it your rectum’s protector. You most likely experienced some pressure, pain, and a lot of resistance if you have ever attempted to put in an anal plug before being completely relaxed. Hopefully, you paused your butt actions, and it was your sphincter performing its job. Sphincter relaxation is necessary for both you and your partner during anal sex and penetration for a period.

As we previously discussed, the sphincter is a muscle; like most muscles, it has a memory. Over time, it may become accustomed to relaxing during penetration, which is likely why some people find that anal intercourse becomes more effortless and comfortable with increased frequency.

The problem is that, like any other muscle, your sphincter can be overstretched, which is technically conceivable. A person may develop an anal sphincter that is unable to contract correctly or “snap back” if they frequently push their butt boundaries with a vast butt play toy or penis or if they ignore painful penetration. Fecal incontinence, or anal leaking, is one of the somewhat unpleasant side effects that may result from this.

Don’t panic, please! Usually, your body will warn you long before any harm has been done. Pay attention to your body and any signs of pain, discomfort, or something not feeling right because of this. You should be fine if you play it safe. Speaking of which, our blog post “Is Anal Sex Safe?” contains comprehensive information about anal sex safety.

You may notice that your anus appears slightly larger immediately following anal intercourse or immediately following the use of an anal dildo or plug. You may even experience a sense of being “stretched out.” This is temporary and typical. People, no bigger butts here!

What Makes Your Butt Bigger?

Alright, that’s fantastic that we were able to clear up your confusion regarding anal sex and more enormous butts. However, you may have a strong desire for a more enormous (outer) butt! You may then be left wondering what, if anything, can enlarge your butt.

I hate to tell you, but this situation does not have a magic bullet. However, workouts that focus on building muscle, such as butt-strengthening exercises, can tone your glutes and potentially round out and energize your booty.

However, regular sex—especially sex that is ardent, vigorous, and engaged—can also be good for your butt. Sexy activities burn calories more quickly than you might imagine. Consequently, burning calories can help you and your buns tone even more rapidly. Giving a massage, for example, can burn up to 80 calories each hour. Depending on how noisy things become, a hot, sweaty makeout session can burn up to 230 calories per hour, while oral sex can burn up to 100 calories every 30 minutes. Yes, we will always choose any of those over squats!
