Anal can be pretty socks-rockingly hot IRL too, but mostly for reasons that don't come across in porn and only if you both get good at it. If not, then there's a good chance it'll end up as a bad time and risky to boot.
>Vaseline which maybe isn't a real lube
It's not. Vaseline's a pretty bad sex lube all around because it's mineral oil based and not slippery in the right way. It irritates your internal membranes (sometimes to the point of rashes) instead of helping them and can increase the risk of infection because it's designed to stick around for a long time instead of washing out. Like other oil-based substances, it also attacks and breaks down latex, meaning condoms and many sex toys won't survive contact with it. All these things make it particularly bad for anal.
If you can't get access to proper water-based or (high-quality) silicone-based sex lube then even coconut or olive oil's miles better than petroleum jelly, as long as you keep in mind it'll attack latex and latex rubbers just the same.

You gotta be careful what you stick back there Anon. Never put anything up your butt, even part-way, that doesn't have a wide, flared base. Without a base to save you, a badly-timed spasm, trip, or slip can suddenly turn part-way into all-the-way, your involuntary muscles will panic, close over it, suck it further in, then lock up... and you'll have no choice but the emergency room.
Also be careful with size. When you're horny everything looks smaller than it is. Start small, start slow, start shallow!
Anyway, if you can't help but try it out again without proper equipment, my teenage self can vouch for the value of a sturdy, well-sanded, well-lacquered, round-handled, broad-headed hairbrush with a condom over the handle (don't use oil with the condom! compatible lube only!) as long as you're super, super careful to only use it where you can't slip over or otherwise hit the rest while it's inserted - internal tears are another thing you don't want to have to take to the emergency room.
