Oh, I guess I see how I’ll have to pass it up, since that link seems to be toast. Bummer.

i do have to say (and it frightens me for the second time) that I agree for His4Ever. I have no aversion perse to the gloriousness of anal sex, but of all the things I like in the world (which include spanking, hair pulling, gags, bondage, humiliation)…

I’m just SCARED of anal sex. I just think it’s going to tear and hurt and I’ll be a screamin’ like a stuck pig. Also, what about farting…my god the farting.

if I ever farted during sex I’d have to move to Nepal and change my name.

When someone tries to force you to have sex that you don’t want to engage in, I believe the term for that is ‘attempted rape’.

It would seem to me that that would be the issue in that episode, not anal v. oral or genital. I hope you’d ditch a man who believed it was his prerogative to force himself on you, regardless of which orifice he chose.  
Since this is a poll thread, I’ll toss in my experience - or lack thereof: I’ve never really been very interested in trying that route. And even those GFs I’ve had along the way who were willing to try just about _anything_ once, had absolutely zero interest in taking it up the back door. So I’ve never had anal sex, probably never will, and that’s fine with me.

What naturally comes out is often bigger around than what the man would be inserting. What makes it painful is the belief that it is going to be painful, therefore you clench up and it is painful.  
I have initiated probably a half dozen women into the act. All were pensive before it. All wanted to do it again after it was over. After a few minutes of going slow it will relax and open up. Much like losing your virginity the natural way, it may hurt some at first. If you stimulate your clitoris, and the guy takes his time letting you adjust, you will not be in agony and you can have orgasms you have never dreamed of. The ladies have told me that cumming that way is WAY more intense than regular sex.  
FWIW, I have never known a woman that had never done it that was eager to try it out. Once convinced, I have never known a woman who has done it once that swore she would never do it again.

I’ll pipe in here too.  
I have tried it. The first time it HURT like hell. I thought it’d be really easy to do and dove right in…er…on…(I’m female). I ended up in the fetal position on my bed wailing my ass off.  
Second time I got lots of advice…I heard GOOOOO SLOOOOOW. …and lube helps…  
So I told my boyfriend I wanted to try it and that each step was decided by me.  
Lots of lube was applied and we fooled around…and so…yeah…  
It felt great…and really kinky in a way.  
Most of all you have to relax. You have to or it will be painful…
