ANAL INTERCOURSE AND ANALINGUS

Why would anyone want to have anal sex?

For many people, anal sex is the ultimate taboo. Buttfucking makes
it sound crude and dirty, sodomy sounds technical. In the 1990’s,
anal sex has been given the bad rap because of HIV, the virus that

some people love anal sex. Others hate it. Others haven’t tried it
yet and are curious. And many people are attracted to it precisely
because it’s so taboo and mysterious.


What is analingus?

One other part of the body that some people enjoy licking, or having
licked, is the anus. The anus has half the nerve endings in the
pelvic region and many people find touching it to be sexually
arousing. Although we haven’t mentioned safer sex yet as part of
this series, we will here: the anus and rectum carry many diseases
that live quite benignly in your lower digestive tract, but which can
be harmful in your mouth or stomach. Performing anilingus is a very
risky behavior for a variety of bacterial infections. Refer to the
section on safer sex techniques for ways to protect yourself if you
or your partner enjoys this activity.


Does anal sex hurt?

Anal sex should not hurt. If it hurts, you’re doing it wrong. With
enough lubricant and enough patience, it’s entirely possible to enjoy
anal sex as a safe and fulfilling part of your sex life. However,
some people may never like it, and if your lover is one of those
people, respect their limits. Don’t force the idea upon them.


Can anal sex actually give pleasure?
