Have received anal sex and engaged in other types of anal play. I don’t know that its fairly common, however, as I still think of it as somewhat taboo.
I’m in a relationship, and anal sex fits in the “for something special category,” not as regularly as Edward The Head. I think it would occur more regularly if (a) there wasn’t a roommate to think about and (b) the initiator were a tad more gentle and paid more attention starting off.
Dont do it, and I’ve got no interest in it whatever. I’d probably still not go for it if I were in a relationship where my SO did, which is weird for me. It’s just about the only sexual activity I’ll give a flat-out ‘get your cock away from me’ on. See, I was dating an idiot once, and he, well, ‘slipped,’ shall we say…yeah…and that hurt way too much to ever try it intentionally.
I love it. (And yes, I’m female.) No idea what the thrill is, but it drives me wild.
I think this is my first TMI post!
Hell no. Sewage. Fecal matter. Yecch.
I’d as soon kiss a vomiting person.
I’ve done it a few times… with the right person it can be great. As has been said above - lotsa lube and take it slow. In my experience it is the #1 question asked by males who IM you out of the blue to talk about sex. I think it’s done alot more than people think.
Yes, I enjoyed it. After about six years of marriage the other way got a bit boring. It was a fun change and he was very gentle…as gentle as I needed him to be.
:thinks about calling ex:
ACK! Don’t think that…don’t think that!
My wife and I haven’t tried anal sex. We’ve talked about it at times, and there’s no real interest on either of our parts, though there’s no inhibition either. If she wanted anal, I’d have no problem doing her, but she doesn’t. If I wanted anal, she’d give it up for me, but … I really don’t particularly want anal.
Put me down as another straight guy who finds lesbian porn kinda dull. I have trouble relating to it and don’t really get why some guys like it so much. But I try to be tolerant about such things. I’ve seen one or two good lesbian sex scenes but most of the time they’re just dull.
Tried it…liked it lots…indulge frequently.
mmmmmmm bum fun 
Me, I think sex should smell good.
I have zero interest in putting my bits up anyone’s bum. A woman got her finger up mine once, and while I wouldn’t say I found it terribly unpleasant, I found that afterwards I was really too preoccupied with keeping track of where that finger was to really focus on anything else.
I am well aware that folks can render themselves clean enough to drink soup out of if they are so inclined, but… not for me. Give me a vagina and a well-toned Kegel muscle every time.
If I ever find myself in love (or a reasonable facsimile) with someone who doesn’t have a vagina in close proximity to their anus, I will no doubt relax my position on this one, but until then, I’ll accept no substitute.

Well, it’s the only kind a lot of us married people get.
(Oh, wait. I misread. I thought it said annual sex.)
Ignore that SN to the left. This post is by Anonymous.
I never had any interest in A*** sex and thought it “yucky”. Most women will tighten up like a clam if you miss the primary target. But one girlfriend had done it before and gladly accepted my drunken misapplication. I thought at the time “that feels a little different”. She thought that I wanted to do it. I now don’t think there is anything wrong with it, but I would not choose to use the wrong orifice out of choice. If you are not hetero, YMMV!
BTW, you’re supposed to use lube?
P.S. To the previous post, annual sex would be a major improvement. 
First off, i just want to apologize for this being my first post. Despite having read the boards for a year or so without chiming in, I would not have spoken up now if not for FaerieBeth (my lady wife) registering me and forcing me to sit at this keyboard.
So, without further ado, here’s a buttload of TMI.
My lovely wife is the only woman that I have tried this with (and i’m the only one for her as well), and while it’s not exactly vanilla for us, it’s not much of a big deal any more. To be sure, we had a few ‘false starts’ (to put it lightly) but i think we’ve worked out most of the issues and it has been enjoyable for both of us.
It’s just something that we do every once in a while to break up the monotony, or when the lady is feeling naughty.
well, there you have it.
and yes, she’s stuck stuff up my butt, too. so there.
DeathLlama “is not a big fan of the poop” or anything that regularly expels such. I’ve offered the fingering thing in the past–and just now too–but he’s “not willing to give myself an enema to make sure it’s all clean back there before you try.” (He’s right behind me as I type, thus the direct quotes.)
Me, I don’t want anything that big up my butt. YOWCH. But a finger? Sure, worth a try. A tongue? For now, I say: Ew. But we’ve only been married two years. Maybe when we get to year six, we, too, will get experimental.
Yummmmm bum fun… not a prob here… bf and I both love it 
I’ve never found the anal sex I’ve had to be wild fireworks, but I fantasize about it a great deal, especially with Potter. I’m hoping that as he and I get sexually familiar with one another, it will be as good as I imagine
Closest I came was my last prostate exam.
As a gay man, I’m supposed to come in here and say “Yay for anal sex! Do it all the time! Fabulous!”
But I don’t really care for it. Giving or receiving. It’s just kinda… icky.
I’ve never gotten any pleasure out of receiving, and giving is kind of weird for me, because my equipment is kinda large. So it takes tons of preparation, which is boring and kinda gross. And then, I don’t really get off on it much; I think part of it is the condom thing, which I (of course) always use, but part of it is that it’s just not something that I really fantasize about. The odd part of this is that because it doesn’t really turn me on much, I can go for quite some time.
Oral sex is where it’s at. Done properly, it’s art.
I certainly don’t have a problem with it. Every couple of months I gladly offer it up, lol.
If you take a warm bath first, it does help relax the muscles so it doesn’t hurt quite as much going in.
The thing I love the most about it is the exact instant where the pain turns to pleasure. It is the most incredible feeling.
Love it, do it. Had a few GF that preferred it.
I also am not particulary turned on by lesbian scenes in movies. Sure, I like the “hot naked girl bit”, but I also know (from experience), that they are into each other, and not doing that for me.
Well, I, personally, am very turned on by it. Unfortunatly, my GF seems pretty much against the whole idea. She had anal sex once with an ex-boyfriend. She was so drunk at the time she basically doesn’t remember it. I have asked many times, and only once has she said I could try. Of course, being young and naive (and both a little tipsy) we didn’t use lube, and, well, it pretty much went no where. Without going into details that no one wants to hear, we’ll just say that the penis really doidn’t even penetrate.
Now, we have a bottle of lube that we ues during regular sex (hand jobs, and just to make it a little more comforatble for her sometimes.) I keep bringing it up, mentioning that we could do it the right way this time, and that it won’t hurt like she thinks it will. But, alas, no anal for me.
Actually, just last night she said (more jokingly than serious, I think) that I could put something in her butt if she could put something in mine. Well, the funny thing is, I actually do enjoy a bit of anal stimulation. The thing is, I’m afraid that if I actually tell her this, she will be very put off by it. It still has that stigma of “staight men don’t do it” attached with it, even though it shouldn’t. I proably will tell her someday, but I still doubt it will get me anal sex, just cause, as I said, it swas more of a joke form her point of view, thinking that there would be no way I’d go for that kind of thing.
