Anal Sex For Beginners

Posted By admin On April 14, 2006 @ 2:40 pm In Feature, PLS Taken, ST Sex | 82 Comments

Let’s do anal!They’re the three little words millions of lonely hearts long to hear. Words that imply a great deal of mutual trust, caring, and comfort. Words that could change your love life forever …

“Let’s do anal.”

Experts estimate one in four straight couples have had anal sex, arguably making it the most popular of sexual taboos. Yet while many people are at the very least curious enough to try it, few go about it the right way. The result? They have a negative experience, and never do it again.

In order to enjoy anal sex, couples need to have some idea of what they’re doing, and to be able to communicate with each other. Of course, talking frankly about a ding-dong in a yoo-hoo can be tough. “Our asses carry with them so much cultural baggage,” says Tristan Taormino, author of The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex For Women. “Most of us are taught at a young age that our butts are dirty, that they shouldn’t be shared with others, that they are not a source of pleasure—all of which aren’t true.”

Despite that (or perhaps because of it), the idea of anal sex is often a turn-on. Men like the promise of tightness and friction, and both partners can appreciate the allure of unique physical sensations coupled with domination/submission. Think those qualities make it deviant?

Maybe so, but they also make it intensely intimate. As porn star Jenna Jameson wrote of anal sex in her 2004 autobiography, “I’ve only given that up to three men, all of whom I really loved. Doing it on camera would be compromising myself.”

There’s no “right” way to begin exploring, but it’s probably wise to start with something less ambitious than a penis. Richard and Lola* had been together for four months when he put his hand on her butt during sex. “I realized I really wanted to put my finger in her ass, but I was hesitant because we’d never done that before,” says Richard, a 34-year-old physicist in San Francisco. “Without a word, she grabbed my hand and put it there for me. It was amazing.”

Later, in the middle of particularly intense sex, an overzealous Richard aimed himself a bit too far south. He realized his mistake and pulled away, but Lola pulled him back. They proceeded to have first-time, undiscussed anal sex without lube—and loved it.

“I’ve since discovered that’s not a good way to do it,” says Lola, 32, a lawyer. “But that night I had the most powerful orgasm of my life. It’s one of the hottest things you can do, but you definitely have to be in the mood. Someone can’t just spring it on you.”

*Names in this story have been changed.

Outside of MTV shows and “family” comedies, most people aren’t eager to talk about their butts—especially with their partners. But it doesn’t need to be a face-reddening experience. “If you and your partner speak openly and directly about sex, then be open and direct about your anal desires,” Taormino says. “If you’re unsure about how your partner may respond, bring it up in an indirect way.”

When you decide to try it out, go very slowly. Most couples agree that anal sex only works when both people are very turned on, so spend time building up to it doing whatever gets you going—[1] oral sex, vaginal sex, watching old episodes of Hart to Hart. And remember what Mother told you: Anything you stick up a butt should be generously coated with a heavy water-based lube like Astroglide Gel or Maximus.

That can’t be stressed enough. Unlike the vagina and much like the internal combustion engine, the anus is not self-lubricating. Insufficiently lubed, you’re susceptible to tiny internal tears, which can cause pain and infection, and encourage the spread of STDs. But that doesn’t mean anal sex is inherently more dangerous. As long as you use a condom and there’s enough lube, you’ll be reasonably safe. To avoid nasty bacterial infections, remember that it’s like stroking a porcupine: You can go front to back, but never back to front.

[2] Sex toys can augment the experience. Nonporous, easy-to-clean silicone is the best material for butt plugs, vibrators, or dildos; a flared base will prevent an awkward trip to the ER for, uh, extraction. “We started with a small butt plug we got online,” says Heather, a 38-year-old New York City nonprofit executive who convinced her husband—yes, he was the wary one—to try anal. “Then we moved on to sex, and it was totally unique. I have to do it in a place where no one else is around because I’m worried about people hearing me—I’m always a lot louder.”

[3] No single position is ideal, but the receiver should be in control. Missionary works; woman-on-top lets her control the depth of penetration; and spooning allows the man a perfect angle. Doggie-style provides great G-spot stimulation, with the woman either on all fours or with her head on the bed and butt in the air (yogis call it “Foraging Anteater Pose”). To make sure the man doesn’t thrust too deep, he should enter, stop, and wait for her to get used to the feeling.

Or is it the other way around?

“The ass is the most democratic orifice—we all have one,” Taormino begins ominously. “What lots of men don’t realize is just how good it can feel for them, because the prostate gland can be directly stimulated. In fact, every man should get f—ed in the ass at least once before he dies.”

Which isn’t an idea the Voyeur is totally comfortable with. But turnabout is fair anal play.

While male anal sex is not for everyone it is worth it for the adventuresome.

As a health teacher and a person who has done research, I am concerned about the fact that you don’t mention the diseases that are spread that many doctors don’t tell you about, but treat daily. They do tremendous damage, along with the diseases, the tearing and scarring that occurs even though lubrication is applied many times may be an unspoken terror to the reciever only to pretend to be satisfied so that their partner is satisfied. No person should have to hate the fact that her man treats her to pain for his gain of pleasure, and may not be pleased in a more pleasurable way to her in the future if she allows it to happen that way. A healthy relationship is one that is caring to both partners in their safety and comfort. Encouraging this behavior does not encourage healthy relationships or healthy bodies. Research it for yourself about the damages and sometimes even unnoticable tears that result in long term physical problems, and then decide for yourself if the risks really are worth someone’s temporary thrill.

My boyfriend and I enjoy anal sex. i just wish he’d be more open to recieving anal play.

Anal sex can cause an infection of the epididymis. The epididymis is a long, tightly coiled tube that lies above and behind each testicle. It collects and stores maturing sperm made by the testicles prior to ejaculation. Inflammation and infection of the epididymis is called epididymitis.

What causes epididymitis?
The causes of epididymitis vary depending on your age and behavior. In young, sexually active men it is often associated with sexually transmitted disease and in older men with enlargement of the prostate gland. Bacterial infections, possibly spread from the rectal area or following a urological procedure, also may cause epididymitis.

There is nothing more erotic to me than receiving anal sex.

#6 Comment By Anonymous On June 26, 2006 @ 4:41 pm

I just appreciate the openness and willingness to begin a dialog about this for monogomous couples which signifigantly lowers the rate of STIs (I, too, am a former sex ed teacher, and the correct term is Sexually Transmitted Infections, not Diseases, as Herpes, HPV, HIV, Chlamydia, etc are infections and not diseases).

Because the anus is more easily injured than the vagina (I like your porcupine analogy but would apply it towards what is made for going in and out of) it is true that those who practice anal sex have a higher rate of sexually transmitted infection. However, decreasing the likelyhood of a n injury through the use of lube, wearing condoms and being in a long-term monogomous relationship (our society defines this as 10 years or longer) reduces the risk to being the same as if it were vaginal with the same variables.

Certainly, anyone interested in anal should do research themselves, but I appreciate the article to get the discussion going.

when talking about lube… alot of products are out there to “ease discomfort” during anal sex. Be very cautious when using these products. Most contain a topical numbing agent that keeps you from feeling any pain. Pain is your bodies way of telling you something is just not right.

Always use just the waterbased lubes… astroglide revelation licky lube are all very good products that do not dry up giving the user all the play time they want.

It is about time! I am glad to see that someone is ready to admit and anal sex can be not only pleasurable, but that it can foster greater intimacy between couples. Some of my most memorable and powerful orgasms have taken place during anal sex.

Some of the other comments about anal sex being dirty or inherantly abussive are unfounded. No one should ever let their partner subject them to a sex act that they find painful or humiliating–be it anal sex, oral sex or a variety of games. If its not for you, then abstain and let the rest of us enjoy.

Empowered by the courage you’ve shown by addressing this taboo topic. Sexuality is an evolving personal process in each of our lives. We were created sexual beings. We are sexual! Clearly the anus provides arousal when touched, stroked or prodded for that matter, in just the right way. Mind blowing orgasms have been experienced and realized by men and woman alike. It is very much apart of the sex act for some and because we evolve as we age, will likely be or could be apart of our sex act someday. Your mature approach to discuss the topic is truly refreshing, inspiring and REAL. Just because it is taboo and not discussed openly… does not mean it isn’t happening!!! Kudos to the author and to TANGO.

I enjoy giving myself anal sex using a dildo while masturbating. I find it more intense than without. I love it. Looking to enjoy ‘real’ anal some day.

#12 Comment By Victoria On February 14, 2007 @ 3:26 am

Anal sex is a degrading and humiliating process to both partners. It is unhealthy as it contravenes the rules of nature. Animals NEVER practise anal sex. Those who resort to anal sex are much inferior to animals.

#13 Comment By Benjamin On February 21, 2007 @ 7:30 pm

This is meant for the person at the top.

“animals NEVER have anal sex!”

For your information SOME ANIMALS DO acutally enage in anal sex. Recent studies have shown that Dolphins, Chimpanzees, and even rats, are just a few that have been shown to engage in anal sex.

Besides, if it were so humiliating then why would we even be given the choice to do it?

I find anal sex to be quite enjoyable although I am gay I can quite say that for even heterosexuals it must be reasonable if they are trying it out.

#14 Comment By Anonymous On February 25, 2007 @ 7:40 pm

I hated anal because of a bad experience trying it a couple years ago, as I was anxious and worried about the pain. However, last night my current sexual partner and I had anal sex. To my surprise, it didn’t hurt. I think it’s because I was very relaxed, and we snuggled a lot beforehand. We did it in the spooning position and I felt cherished, almost like being made (vaginal) love to. It was almost- dare -I-say sweet? He hald me afterwards in the same position and was gentle- it wasn’t bad. With the right partner I think it could even enhance intimacy. I feel even closer to him now.

My wife and I tried anal sex 14 years ago. We were amazed at the intensity of the orgasms we both experienced as a result. Since that time, anal sex is the “norm” in our bedroom.

#19 Comment By Fasi On May 8, 2007 @ 9:25 am

Just a short note for the beginners.
1- For men: Don’t be in a hurry! Just do it slowly. We do not like men who are not sensitive. Never copy the anal sex that happen at porn movies. These men are real animals and those poor girls should be paid lot of money to forget about the pain that they are enduring!
2- For women: Just try it you will enjoy it very much. A little advise: look at his penis, if it is too big, don

I am 85…. My husband is 79. He was born in Greece where most couples engage in anal sex before marriage so that the female can retain her “virginity”…Ari and I have been married for 15 years and he taught me about the joys of anal sex. I taught him a few things too. He has a prostate problem which makes it difficult to have intercourse so we improvise! We have sex twice a week He is the best sex partner I’ve ever had. Anal sex can be fantastic. People need to get rid of their hang-ups and relax and forget about all the puritanical nonsense.

I am still thinking about my last night’s experience with my husband. He is a very sensitive person with lot of affection. I have speciall taste for anal sex. Only thinking about it turns me on. I had a discussion with a friend afew days ago. She had apainful experience because her boyfriend’s dick is very big! And also he is a brutal person. She wants me to talk to her boyfriend and train her practically how to do anal sex. I have planned this session for next Sunday. I will tell you about it next week!

#23 Comment By Jeremy On October 19, 2007 @ 4:50 pm

I tried anal for the third time the other night. The first two times were a disaster because I rushed (I was really turned on), but this last time I took my time, started with my pinky finger, and went up from there. My new girlfriend, who I tried this with, loved it, and we are planning to do it again tonight. I have two pieces of advice…… TAKE YOUR TIME, AND USE A GOOD LUBE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy.

#25 Comment By amie On October 27, 2007 @ 11:46 pm

I am about to try anal sex again, I have only had it once before this, and I was so nervous that I couldn’t get relaxed, and it hurt like hell. I am hoping that this time will be better. The man that I am doing it with again is the same person that I did it with before, but he was really rough, and he tells me that he won’t be this time. I am alittle scared now but we’ll see how things go.

#26 Comment By Alicia On November 14, 2007 @ 10:06 am

I had anal sex for the first time with my husband who has done it with other women before me. He was very respectful and it was nice, but it felt weird and I didn’t get any pleasure out of it except that he liked it. I was just wondering if we were to do it again would it feel better for me?

#27 Comment By Meme On December 1, 2007 @ 7:22 am

My advice on this topic is simple… try it after sex in a spooning position. You’ll both be very relaxed and that will make it easier. The first time my husband and I tried it was after we had sex. His penis was in that semi-hard semi-flacid stage and we used the natural lubrication from our sex session. There was a lot of pressure but no pain and when he got hard again he was already in.

#29 Comment By LAX On January 19, 2008 @ 11:47 pm

Anal sex is like a beautiful dance between two partners … done properly, there is no greater thrill in the bedroom, in my opinion. For men, the sensation feels so good it’s surreal, and for women, one partner in particular told me that the orgasms she experienced were unbelievable — and this was someone who was very skeptical about it at first, but was actually disappointed later if I didn’t feel like doing it. I would only do it with someone I trusted, who made me feel comfortable. That goes for guys, too … nothing’s worse than trying to do it with someone who’s so nervous it kills the experience. It’s like trying to tango with someone who has two left feet. It doesn’t work. This is all about being on the same page with someone, communicating, taking your time, trusting your partner, producing and experiencing a high together, and enjoying the hell out of it together. If that’s not intimacy, then what is?

LAX, thanks for the inspiring comment. i have to say it’s a huge physical hurdle to get over…i cringe as i think about how i expect it to feel. realizing how good it is for the guy causes me to re-consider.

Anal sex is only a a satisfying experience for the male. The clitoris of a woman is close to the vagina not to her azz. There is no sensation a woman ever feels having anal sex. The only reason she does it to plaese her partner. Anal sex is dangerous because of the matter you carry in your intestines and the tears you get in the mucosa. Males advocate anal sex for selfish reasons. Any woman who falls for this and will give anal sex to satisfy her lover is a slave and will wind up eventually in a divorce for two reasons. The man doesn’t care about her needs, and will try to find his pervetial desire outside the home also. Fact. Anal sex has nothing to do with love.

You would think every guy wants a girl to allow back door entry… however, a girl in my my, that allows for back door access (unless married) opens up many questions in my mind about her sexuality… and most likely, the girl will not be a keeper..

#33 Comment By Ken On February 4, 2008 @ 1:04 pm

I still prefer oral and vaginal myself but anal is a fantastic alternative to spice things up from time to time.

A steady patient work up is what is needed. I would start with a finger while jilling her while she blows you (stimulating the clit when initially penetrating the anus should produce some very lovely sounds) and do that for over numerous occasions - in my experience that is far enough for most at first. Then I would suggest a slightly larger-than-finger toy… work your way up to it. I used a normal plastic dildo and beads to work her up to me but be prepared for initial failure when it comes to the real thing - patience, communication and fun are the keys.

Additionally, a dilo for her vagina while you are in her anus provides even more stimulation for both of you. You of course can proceed to mfm penetrations for even more pleasure and ultimately mfmm so that she can be totally filled.

Anyone willing to take the time and effort to more fully explore their sexuality with you in an open, honest and loving way is a sure keeper.

To the most recent Anonymous,
Just because a woman has butt sex doesn’t make her a slave. I know some chicks that have tried it and they’re not skanks. It’s like saying that a guy who goes down on a chick is her slave. He’s just doing what she likes.

If you just go slow, it’s not that big a deal once you’ve decided it’s for you. Go slow and use a LOT of lube. I found it easy to do a combo between spooning and doggie - something along those lines. on. it is less of “f*ck” that others

Someone wrote: Anal sex is only a satisfying experience for the male. The clitoris of a woman is close to the vagina not to her azz. There is no sensation a woman ever feels having anal sex.

My response: With all due respect, you either don’t know what you’re doing, or you are horribly misinformed.

Don’t take my word for it — listen to a PhD and licensed sex therapist. Read “She Comes First” by lan Kerner (ladies, an invaluable book for your mate) and you will learn that the anus is actually connected to the clitoris via nerve tissue.

Or you can take my word for it when I assure you that you are most certainly WRONG when you assert that a lady feels nothing from anal sex, done properly. Very wrong.

They wrote: Anal sex is dangerous because of the matter you carry in your intestines and the tears you get in the mucosa.

My response: I’m not sure the Centers for Disease Control would agree with you, nor have I ever had a partner complain of this. Do you have medical literature to prove this, or is it simply conjecture on your part?

What does make anal sex risky, however, is that it is an efficient method of transmitting STDs during unprotected sex. So if you plan to embark on this adventure, make sure it’s with someone whose sexual history you know and trust!

That shouldn’t scare you away from having a wonderful experience with the right person. It should encourage you to be safe, and have fun.

They wrote: Any woman who falls for this and will give anal sex to satisfy her lover is a slave and will wind up eventually in a divorce for two reasons. The man doesn’t care about her needs, and will try to find his pervetial desire outside the home also. Fact. Anal sex has nothing to do with love.

My response: Really?

Read my earlier post of Jan 19. Does it sound like I would share anal sex with someone I didn’t care about? In fact, I’ve never done this with someone I wasn’t monogamous with at the time, so my own personal experience contradicts you.

As for what makes a woman a slave, you are not one to judge. You have a very constricted and narrow-minded view of what intimacy is, and I feel sorry for you. You’re living in the 1540s. You’ve allowed misinformation to cloud your judgment. Hopefully, readers of your comments won’t be discouraged from trying something beautiful because of the misinformation you have posted.

Anal sex IS, quite simply, AMAZING or can be providing your partner really knows what they are doing and is patient and caring and loving and yes with the use of an appropriate quantity of lube!

My lover and I have anal sex frequently, in fact it’s his preference but I have to admit .. it’s mine too now. Don’t get me wrong I love good old fashioned vaginal sex too but well ummmmm I actually get “annoyed” if anal sex is not incorporated into our loving!

We’ve experimented in every conceivable position but our preference is missionary with my legs in the air (god I love that because I can masturbate and watch him simultaneously).

It’s true there’s a fine line between pleasure and pain! The trick is to learn to relax, not tense up .. pain can actually be enjoyable .. ONCE you learn to breath through it .. perhaps masturbate during the “pain” of initial penetration (get past the head and it’s plain sailing from there!) … trust me, the pain dissolves into pure unadulterated pleasure IF you allow it and the resulting orgasms have to be experienced to be believed!

I’m extremely fortunate in that my lover is a sexual maestro, a magician who takes ultimate pleasure in giving me extreme pure pleasure .. sure he gets it too, we both do, but for him, giving me orgasm after orgasm drives him nuts, then when I beg I can come no more, he changes position or what he’s doing and I’m off again, it’s nothing for me to have 50 orgasms in a day, gspot orgasms, vaginal orgasms, I can come without being touched, from his words alone, from him frantically kissing and licking my ear, or kissing my clitoris rhythmically, from a damn good spanking, just from screaming AND from the most delicious anal sex imaginable!

Don’t discount anything you haven’t tried, especially if it’s only a perceived taboo that’s holding you back! You might just be missing out on the biggest orgasms of your life!

Try it, I dare you!

My boyfriend and I have had anal a few times, and at first I was interested but afraid. A little because of the dirtiness of it and a little because of the pain. He was great. I actually thin he read a posting on craigslist on how to get your girl to do it and it helped a lot. He started with his fingers while he was giving me oral, which is amazing! Then he used a vibrator in my ass while giving me oral, so I would get used to something bigger. He used lube or my juices (I don’t remember). The we had vaginal sex and he was still using the vibrator on my ass. He asked if it was okay to try it himself, and by that time I couldn’t wait. I wasn’t tense because he loosened me up a lot and the pain was just a little bit of pressure right at the begining. He went really slow until I get used to it and I used (a different/clean) vibrator on my clit. Amazing! I highly recommend it if both parties are into it and if it’s a slow, careful process. Also, he loves anal penetration with my finger or a vibrator. We haven’t done the strap-on thing yet, but one day we probably will.

anal sex. IS AWESOME. Just make sure you take it slow in the beginning. And its always important that you trust who ever is doing it to you. Also men please keep in mind that you can cause an anal prolapse by complete carelessness. Its a great experience, but you don’t want to ruin it for the rest of some poor girls/guys life! =) I didn’t like it at first, but when i met the right guy and felt safe. It became interesting to me.

Hey I have tried it and like it very much. However I do not orgasm, any suggestions.

#47 Comment By LE On May 13, 2008 @ 2:34 pm

Two words for the main point: Exit only.

This is my preference, so please do no spam me for it, as I’m certain that you, dear Reader, also have preferences.

I’m more of a ‘natural order of things’ person, and since the vagina: a)lacks a sphincter that can be damaged (unlike the anus), b)accepts sperm in a purposeful way, c)comes with lube, and d)that lube isn’t poop… well, I’m gonna say that maybe God had designs for each of those organs and that sex wasn’t in the big plan for our good ol’ bums.

But it feels good, you say? Well, not to everyone. However, to those who do enjoy it and the toe-curling little spasms that come with, let’s consider the act. The ‘giver’ receives a tight clamp, clenching, and almost full domination. The ‘receiver’, if they enjoy anal sex, enjoys this and whatever comes with it.

Now don’t get me wrong, I like take-charge sessions as much as the next hot-blooded woman… but I trust the sex making capabilities of my partner, myself, and my vagina to create the thrill found in those sessions (and oh do they!). It almost makes anal sex seem like a cop out. As in, the fireworks are created by imagination and heat - not from the byproducts of overextending certain body parts’ functions.

Butts are stimulating, I’m sure, but poop smells and tastes bad for a reason. It is the body’s waste, made to go along a one-way street (your anus); exit only.

experienced with one guy who really knew what he was doing. we made a day of it. it helped that i have done yoga for 15 years…the standing bend forward is a complete turn on. the best advice i have is to be sure you have fun with your partner and make it a full day affair! enemas are a must. clean yourself out but have your man do it…and use a bit of sake in the second go round with the enema…does wonders in relaxing a person.
after several showers…both feeling clean ..which to me is a total turn on…this man knew how to lick me so i was opening up so quickly. remember, we made a day of it each time we engaged in anal delight. the spoon position is good, no doubt. most important…relax because with the lubrication which is a MUST a woman can totally relax and be brought to new and amazing heights of sexual ectasy…this is the only man i have had anal sex with..and now that i am married i am doing my best to “teach” my man what to do..it is not easy. could it be that some men just know how to do anal sex while others carry some inner fears of failure? i don’t know the answer. i do know i had the best sex of my life with the man who gently walked me through my first anal sex experience..and i miss it.

enema…you have to have true enemas for anal sex. begin with a fleet or two and then get the real thing..the hanging bag and all. this could take your concerns about feces on your partner away. spontaneous anal sex..i have not experienced. good luck.

I try but it just hurts so much and I get so scared. Even something tiny in there bothers me and hurts. I don’t know how anyone does it, or enjoys it.

In my twenties my husband,at the time, and I had lots of anal sex. We often used as a form of birth control, doing it at my ovulation time. He entered me from on top or I sat on top of him. Both ways worked and I always had powerful orgasms. it was great. For many years though after our divorce I did not like anal sex until recently. I have a lovely lover now who enters my anus from behind while I lie flat on my tummy. Meanwhile I play with my clitoris and often when he explodes in me I gush a lake onto our bed. I became a squirter about 5 years ago but never did I ejaculate like this until he came into my life. Life is full of wonderful surprises!

during foreplay my wife enjoys playing with my ass. At first mostly touching and rubbing,then the more she got turned on,well,lets just say we got some KY to keep next to the bed.Seems to turn her on as much as it does me,she even orgasms hunching my leg while fingering me. I guess our next move is anal sex,but not sure she would go for it as much as she enjoys doing me.

Most women do anal sex only to please their male partner. It’s not worth it because a woman can’t come to a climax just doing anal sex. Never mind that anal sex regardless how clean it is and reagardless how careful you are, can have medical complications. Because people easily bleed in the anal area. It’s not satisfying for a woman except that she satisfies the man she loves. and that is not good enough in the long run. I would get read of a partner that enjoys anal sex .Not worth it to me. I can’t imagen doing for 25 years anal sex.

You’ve got to try having anal sex!! me and my boyfriend just love having it! It hurts sometimes….. but having it matters most!!
I found 2 really comfortable ways to have it…. either sitting in top of him or lying on a bed on your stomach… and all he has to do is put like water on his penis and put it is little and a time.

Question: what is up with that picture of the woman being groped? It looks like it would be more appropriate for an article on sexual harassment in the workplace.

#56 Comment By Ana On June 14, 2008 @ 10:12 pm

anal sex does is not painful at all if you do it right and with a caring partner. you have to use astroglide or some kind of lubrication, that’s for sure. the first time i had anal i ended up having the most powerful orgasm to date. my parter knew what he was doing and i was so turned on i let him do whatever he wanted. i do not do it to please my partner, i do it because it is pleasurable for us both. we actually do more anal than vaginal sex these days, and we’ve discovered it is easier and faster for me to achieve an orgasm w/ anal sex. so to dora_rice, honey you must be doing it wrong, you CAN come to a climax doing anal! you dont know what you’re missing… i encourage you to keep practicing!

#57 Comment By Devious On June 18, 2008 @ 10:27 am

I love anal sex, at times. I have to be in the mood to have it and my boyfriend is completly patient with me. I actually introduced him to it. The only thing that is weird about it is that it feels good, until I have an orgasm. Does anyone else have this problem?

#58 Comment By Brenda On June 21, 2008 @ 1:56 pm

My boyfriend enlightened me to why men love anal sex. He informed me that over the past few decades women have decided to go against nature and take on both roles in society. He said women want to be in control but yet want to be fall back on being a traditional female when things don’t go the females way. He said men have sought out a way to take back control to make them feel like men again, like nature intended it to be. …. I have to say what he said makes a lot of sense. Its also probably why women are on prozac and other medications. We are confused about our role in society.

#59 Comment By Joseph welch Jr On June 22, 2008 @ 9:06 pm

I love anal sex because it is very easy to have an orgasm. It’s like a having a tight fitting glove on your penis.But I don’t agree with the writer as far having another man wack you in the butt! Its not that much joy in the world, plus it’s unnatural.

#60 Comment By Jennifer On July 3, 2008 @ 4:35 am

This is a great site. Thank you!
My boyfriend talked me into anal. I thought I’d hate it but WOW!!!!! He created a monster. I cen’t get enough now!
Anyways, thanks again

#63 Comment By Whitney On July 26, 2008 @ 1:13 pm

I have grown to love anal sex. I think all women need to get it. Husbands need to take the dominant role back. In society, women have tried to become equal. I believe anal sex is a good way to humble us back to the way we should be. If the woman back talks you then make them give anal and oral sex to a dirty black man like my husband did me. I keep my mouth shut now. As well as I should.

Does a woman’s ass get moist during anal sex?

#65 Comment By Barry On August 7, 2008 @ 2:11 pm

To the comment posted below by Whitney- WTF!!!! Are you for real! LOL!

#66 Comment By Lizbeth On August 8, 2008 @ 11:45 am

Geez. What’s with the almost constant emphasis on the domination aspect. Please. Anal is an almost immediate orgasm for some ladies, nothing to do with domination. If it didn’t feel good I would never have done it. The first times I ever thought it would be great, domination never even occurred to me. Really, I think some people have an incredibly dichotomousm, reductionistic view of their sexuality and others’.

#67 Comment By ELAINE N. RAMEY On August 20, 2008 @ 11:59 pm

PLEASE DO NOT ASSOCIATE MY NAME WITH THIS SICKNESS. ‘ANAL’ IS IN NO WAY CONNECTED TO SEX. LOOK IT UP,STUPID AND SEE WHAT ITS FUNCTION IS AND IN THE NSME OF GOD KEEP AWAY FROM ME, PERVERT !

#68 Comment By Tonya On August 28, 2008 @ 5:55 pm

whitney my boyfriend is similar. when we get in arguements he puts large things inide my ass and makes me sit on it while we have regualr sex. it hurts alot but gives me something incredable!!!

#69 Comment By Rish On September 3, 2008 @ 3:34 am

My girlfriend is not ready for anal sex, but i want to do it desperately. Tell me how can i convence her

#70 Comment By chet On September 6, 2008 @ 11:18 am

My wife and I both enjoy anal sex, at times her more then me. Generally we will have a long oral session before so everything is very wet. She enjoys it on all fours and the key is everything very wet and take it very slow. She will nearly always have a very intense organism.

Anytime that it is painful/uncomfortable i pull out, clean up and go somewhere else

#71 Comment By V K On September 11, 2008 @ 2:03 pm

I’ve enjoyed having anal sex with my girlfriend a number of times….. After sex i always ask her about it….. N she doesnt seem to be too worried about it…..

#72 Comment By lorilou On September 15, 2008 @ 6:56 pm

Married for 22 years and Sex was getting stressful because I was feeling like I was pleasing him with Oral and Regular sex but he was coming to fast for me to get pleasure. We where about to break up. I needed more. We just out of the blue tried Anal sex for the first time. It hurt but I loved it and wanted to do it again but my Husband did not like it at first because he thought it was dirty. But we tried it again and I was more relaxed and WOW!!!!! I think it saved our Marriage. But I can’t stop thinking about it. I want it all the time. My husband is liking it too now.

#73 Comment By pinksgirlfriend On September 17, 2008 @ 5:31 pm

anal is good… my bf is 14 years younger than me and when we met i had talked about anal, he had never done it and acted like it was dirty! well 4 years later he finally wanted to try it and he loves it! imagine that! lol

#74 Comment By Kenny On September 18, 2008 @ 8:40 pm

Anal sex is a fantasy of many women… even the most innocent!

#75 Comment By smoke On September 24, 2008 @ 10:46 am

ANAL SEX….UMMMMM….well lets just say I couldn’t live without it. It such a different type of orgasm and as long as you know how to properly maintain yourself it’s not dirty in the least bit. I can’t stand to see comments made by small minded people who’ve never even given it a try. I bet they’re scared they just might like it.

#76 Comment By asdf On September 25, 2008 @ 4:17 am

I’m a guy and I have played around with my share of girls. Anal for me does not feel physically as good as vaginal. It is a lot hotter though.

There seems to be two main reasons why guys insist on anal, the right way and the wrong way.

The right way is the guy and the girl are pervs and just love the feelings that come along with it. I like to think of myself as a perv. A woman begging to be fucked in the ass is about the hottest thing on the planet to me.

The wrong way is to be a dick and a woman hater and get off on dominating or punishing women via anal sex. Judging from the responses there are still a few too many of these types out there.

Obviously you need to be safe, use lube, have a little patience and use a condom (even in monogamous relationships, you don’t want a urinary infection).

As for all the negative nancies in here spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt about anal sex, I have to thank them in a way because without their tireless bible thumping it wouldn’t be so dirty and sexy.

#77 Comment By Jim On October 22, 2008 @ 7:11 pm

yes, i enjoy anal sex very much, in the past my mother has taught me how to do it and it has come very much in handy recently when me and my girlfriend sky angel did it for the first time

#78 Comment By Carly Morrell On November 19, 2008 @ 6:29 pm

Me and my boyfriend just started trying anal sex, ( so good). We are both virgins so no STDs or anything, is it necessary to wear a condomn or should we basically not bother?

#79 Comment By Angel On November 22, 2008 @ 2:44 am

sodomites is sin, just read 1 Timothy 1: 9-10..and the wage of sin is DEATH..that’s all I can say…beside there are million ways to enjoy sex why bother to choose this one.

I am a 38 married white male. My wife will have nothing to do with anal sex, I havn’t tried but really want to.
