If shit came out of any them, yes I’d avoid them.

Fine.

I was simply taking exception to _The anus is an exit, not an entrance_ as this is an “argument” often used not just against anal sex but also against homosexuals\*  
And if it is an argument, it’s saying “anuses should be used for their natural function”. When in fact pretty much everything we do in the course of an ordinary day involves using our bodies for things beyond their natural function.

- To be absolutely clear: **KRM** has not said anything anti-homo, I’m saying it’s a line that is often used in that context.

Really? Even as evidenced in this thread, it seems that not even all homosexuals partake in it (which is really a surprise; I’d think you’d want to stick it somewhere).

In the main spirit of the thread, there’s no appeal at all to this straight, married male. If I were in prison, though, and ended up having to stick it somewhere, I’d imagine it’d be a male’s bum, being the closest approximation that I could think of. Please note that I don’t have prison sex fantasies, but in being realistic I’d probably have to accept it, unless the protocol means that I’d have to receive, which probably would be a deal breaker.

There still is oral sex and manual stimulation. Just because you are in prison doesn’t mean you have to suddenly enjoy anal. Or you may get a cell mate that does not enjoy it either.

Exit schmexit, I for one don’t feel that there is the same pleasure in anal sex that i get from vaginal sex. I’m willing to try agian, but it is never going to be one of my favorite things.

23, female, won’t.

I will, however, stick a (lubed, covered) finger up my boyfriend’s ass.

I don’t get this. It’s a deal breaker is she isn’t interested, but you flat out won’t try? What are you afrad of? Is it the idea of pain, is it “real men don’t catch” or is it something else? I think this is a big part of why some women say “I’ll try it if he does”.

No, being female doesn’t mean that any and all orifaces should automatically be open business, and no, being a straight male doesn’t mean that all forms of penetration are forbidden.

Gay male, early 30s.

Enjoy giving and occassionally receiving, if the guy isn’t too big. I really don’t enjoy the necessary preperations though. Nothing kills the mood and spontanuity as spending 30 minutes on the toilet. And since I’m without a boyfriend currently and only enjoy the occassional brief encouter, it rarely happens anymore.

It will never be a deal breaker if I loved the guy enough though, but he should definitely be willing to try.

(bolding mine) Um, what does this involve, if I may be so bold? I assume it includes evacuation, but 30 minutes?

I’m assuming an enema. I’ve seen a “behind the scenes” of a porn film in Tristan Taromino’s “Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex” - the actress Chloe explained that she took two enemas before a scene - and refrained from eating for 12 hours beforehand. It’s the only way to deal safely with the demand for “ATM”. Make no mistake, these people are professionals.

Nope. Not interested. An ex-boyfriend suggested it (several times, in fact) and I informed him flatly that it was not gonna happen.

Female, 24.

One thing I’ve always wondered about anal sex - what if the receiver has to, um…well, let’s face it, there’s no polite of way of saying this, so let me just put it out there. What if they really have to take a shit beforehand and are fully loaded, so to speak? Would the giver get shit all over his dick?

I mentioned it to an ex once. Her reaction of utter shock put me off ever mentioning it again to her.

I’ve never actually tried it that way, but my understanding is yes, it would. That’s why enemas were mentioned above, though it’s certainly not something that everyone (or most people?) bothers with. That idea icks me out more than the possible alternative, actually.
