Interesting question Everything down in that region is connected. When you are horny, that whole area becomes hypersensitive. The stimulation of the rear part gets transferred to the front. That is why both gay and straight couples engage in anal stimulation. Anal stimulation or "masturbation" may be a way of stimulating the front part without touching it directly. That is your physiology lesson and sex ed class from DayOne44. As with many questions in NoFap, each of us must decide the limits for his own reboot.
Yes. When you play with your anus, you will release dopamine into your brain, which will slow down your reboot. In fact if your penis had lost sensitivity, you may gain great pleasure from anal masturbation (especially if you massage your prostate as well, which can make you cum).
Never did it that much, but it counts as a relapse. It gives a good feeling though. Lol justkidding, don't do it. It is equal to masturbation. Anal masturbation = masturbation = relapse
I assume you mean 'wash' your ass, rather then using a mirror to ogle your hole! Well, it is the same as when you wash your penis and testicles and perineum (the bit between your ball sac and ass crack). Try and wash your genitals and anus thoroughly, but quickly. If you are not careful and linger in that area for too long the desire to start pleasuring yourself can get really tempting.
sorry this time I can't help much. I expect this thread to go to Off-topic section soon. I guess if we don't play with the anus we'll never know if we are gay or not.
You already know the answer to that question. If anal stimulation is a form of masturbation, this would hamper a reboot. Rebooting requires abstinence from masturbation. This anal masturbation seems to be a substitute behavior that is close to the behavior you are trying to stop, but still want to do. It may be a way of "doing it," without really "doing it." We want relief, but we all know that there is nothing that will make this process easy and painless.
This has nothing to do with sexual orientation. It is a basic matter of human physiology, as I described above. When the male gets really horny, sexual sensitively spreads throughout that entire area of the body. What people do with that, whether gay or straight, simply depends on the person's tastes.
