Hypertonic Pelvic Floor and Anal Sex

Hi all -

This sub has been very helpful for me. About two years ago I suffered from some severe hypertonic pelvic floor issues and with a lot of pelvic floor physical therapy (with an amazing PFPT) and some strength training, stretching and anxiety management, I was able to get back to about 90% recovered.

I still have maybe 1x per month where I struggle, but the symptoms are much more manageable than they used to be.

As a gay man in a relationship, how do others handle anal sex with pelvic floor issues? I've been hesitant to try despite some encouragement from my PFPT and my partner. I know anxiety management will be huge, as well as preparation, but I'm concerned with what I might feel after. Does anyone have experience with this and is willing to share?
