How deep can it go? The rectal canal is connected to the descending colon, it goes all the way up to the splenic curve at your diaphragm. The human anus can stretch up to 7 inches wide. More with practice.

I have read: Doctors have retrieved a "12-inch long and 8-inch wide salami" from a patient's rectum, among other surprisingly large objects such as bedposts, doorknobs, glass bottles, aluminum tubes, and a 20-inch-long live eel!

What’s the largest thing you’ve stuck up your ass?

The anus is full of nerves and at first, stimulating the area may be uncomfortable. The good news is, this highly sensitive area holds BIG potential for pleasure. With a little training and a lot of patience and lube, you too can achieve what some consider to be the holy grail of pleasure, the anal orgasm.

While it may be easier for people with prostates to climax from anal sex, those without one have equal opportunity for satisfaction. Deep within the vaginal canal and adjacent to the cervix, there lies the A-Spot and stimulating this point can lead to an intensely powerful orgasm. Accessing this nerve cluster is possible through the vagina, but going through the butt is a bit like taking a shortcut — easier to find and generally requires less depth of penetration.

Even with the potential for anal orgasm, it’s best to begin butt play with a goal of discovery and not climax. There are many steps between starting and finishing and the more open you are to exploration, the more fun you will have along the way.
