The receptive partner - that's the one who will be penetrated - shouldn't worry too much about what might come out of the anus during or after the act, but having a bowel movement about an hour or so before anal sex can make things a lot less messy. Washing up helps as well, but anal douching or enemas are not necessarily recommended because they can cause tiny fissures in the anal wall. Being as relaxed as possible is of utmost importance - trusting your partner is the name of the game, and it helps to be aroused before attempting anal sex. Begin with a finger and lots of lube. The sphincter is a muscle that should be stretched a little, just like any other muscle. When and if you're ready, a male partner should always use a condom, regardless of whether or not you're monogamous. Not only do you get the added benefit of lubrication, but it also protects the man from disease and keeps the woman from getting sick as well. Remember to relax as much as possible and use lubrication liberally to have a successful session.
