I’m ok with it. My wife doesn’t want to do it so I don’t pressure or push it other than the ocasional finger. I find it to be very pleasurable and stimulating. As far as porn goes, I just do not like to watch anal sex in porn. It’s like the girl girl scenes, i forward right on through. ---

Love it love it love it. But we don’t it often, it’s sort of a special treat for him and me both. ---

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of any guy that didn’t like that. Then again I don’t watch much porn, I cann’t even remember the last time I did. ---

Done it before with past gf’s and enjoyed it. I think Wifecat and I are saving it for a rainy day…Meaning, we plan on being together for the next 40+years, so I’m sure we’ll go through an anal stage, but just not right now. Although the occasional finger during orgasm is quite nice. I think one reason for not doing it is because I’m larger; not necessarily LARGE, but enough to make her go “You want to stick that where?!?” I’ve always thought that it was the one universal type of sex that one should try because then you both know exactly what the opposite sex is feeling. Nipples, clits and penises all have their subtle differences, but I’m pretty sure the anal nerve endings are the same for all of us. It’s the one type of sex that we can all relate to. -Tcat ---

The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women by Tristan Taormino, Fish (Illustrator) 45 of 76 people found the following review helpful: Not well-received, April 30, 2001 Reviewer: Henry Raddick (see more about me) from London UK - Be careful and think long and hard before you give this book to your wife or girlfriend as a gift. As I learnt to my cost, if she looks at it in horror you won’t be able to tell her that you are a little drunk and just slipped. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Caught@Work \* > \*\*There is no way that I’m going let Mr. Party Tool get all poopy! > Even if I put his little plastic jacket on … eeewwwwwwwwwwww! \*\* If the would be recipient poops regularly, it’s probably okay. But if you’re still nervous that there’s a big ol’ turd lurking around, stick a finger in there to check. If there is, go to the drug store and get an enema kit for a nice ass douche. Once the pipes have been cleaned, there’s no need to worry about the shitty dick and you can enjoy. ---

I agree with \*\* Margin Walker \*\*. Anal sex is not all about getting poop everywhere. I have anal sex about twice a month. I’m usually the one who initiates it. I’m a female too! Every single time there has never been an issue of poop. I just make sure that my bowels are empty. And yes…I’ve checked my boyfriends pieces to see if they are tainted. And the tearing thing? I’m guessing that’s being too forceful. If it hurts then you are doing something wrong. Its not supposed to hurt. Remember…Lots of lube and go slowly… ---

Tried it once. I could take it or leave it. Mr. Cameron has no interest in it whatever. As far as I’m concerned it’s one of those “no accounting for taste” things, since I know some people really enjoy it. More power to 'em, I say. It just doesn’t set my heart on fire. ---

I’ve had anal sex a few times – it’s nice, but not that big a deal. Using a finger or two during oral, on the other hand is _very_ popular… ---

Nope, nope and nope. And it’s not about poop, either, I just don’t like the sensation. I think it goes back to being a kid and having to get the puppet treatment a couple times when I was suffering what appeared to be (but wasn’t) appendicitis. I just don’t want anything - and that includes fingers or tongues - going up there again. ---

When I was first getting to know my boyfriend/husband-to-be/guy-who-lives-with-me jeremy evil, I mentioned during a phone conversation that I was a top. Much later, he told me that when he heard me say that, he heard the Hallelujah Chorus. 😃 He’s a major bottom. He loves it. I love topping him, and I’m damned good at it. We do it all the time. We have an industrial-sized lube pump. 🙂 …or was that TMI? ---

I wish I didn’t keep reading the OP title as “Anal sex [A Pole]” Haven’t done more than finger work, but would see no problem as long as it was sanitary (enimas etc). I’m kind of fond of my dick and putting it anywhere that is dirty doesn’t appeal. Cheers, Bippy ---

Yes, we both enjoy it. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Edward The Head \* > **but :dubious: you don’t watch the girl girl scenes? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of any guy that didn’t like that.** I’m another straight guy who is bored by so-called “lesbian action.” Zero appeal for me, maybe because it’s so painfully obvious how little it has to do with actual lesbianism. I don’t even get that much out of the “guy and two girls” scenario. Fast forward! ---

Thanks, everyone. The reason I didn’t answer is 'cause I’m a big virgin loser. I do want to try it at one point though. If there’s a hole that it’ll fit in and she’ll let me try, I plan on doing just that. 🙂 Oh, and lesbian scenes don’t do much for me either. It’s too fake looking and I’m apathetic to watching oral sex anyway. I prefer plain ol’ penetration. ---

Hubby and I enjoy it sometimes. The secret, as mentioned previously, is to use lots of lube and go slow. He lets me set the pace. Once I’ve “accommodated”, things can get much faster and harder, with no pain for me. Hubby also enjoys a finger inserted just prior to climax. ---
