Douchie of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation provides practical safety tips! The article is short and well worth reading whether your bottom is basically newbie or an expert.

Pierre-Cédric Crouch, PhD, a PrEP provider and former nursing director at Magnet Clinic, writes, “Anal douching isn’t something we talk about much in our community and we aren’t given many opportunities to learn about it. My high school coach taught sex ed. He said ‘Keep it in your pants, boys. Keep it in your pants.’ Surprisingly, he never covered anal douching.”

“At Magnet, we are asked a lot about how to douche safely. In a perfect world, we wouldn’t douche at all. But to be real, no one wants to leave a crime scene on their partner. There isn’t much research on regular anal douching before sex but we do know some things.”
