**peace** , you rock! (and you made me spit beer on my monitor, but that’s another issue…) Anal sex, IMHO, is as natural as anything else you can do with a penis (IE: it feels good!). Wish I could convince the fiancee of this, tho… ---

I thought the anal canal was designed for the excretion of faecal waste. At least…that’s what I was taught as part of my training! on top of that, the epithilial tissue in the anal canal is not designed for lots of action, therefore it is not as tough…resulting in an increased incidence of contracting a STD more easily in anal sex! mmm…enough to put me off! as for doing something because it feels good…well…I think blood spurting out of an artery looks great, but would you volunteer to slash your corotid for me?? ---

I would remind that kissing is not natural at all, and probably a much bigger disease-spreader. Same with handshakes. ---

Thank you, Astroboy, I try my best. Do not give up on your fiencee’. She is probably young and brought up “right”. As she matures, she’ll become more flexible, especially after the childbirth. Besides, ladies have their own little idiosyncrasies: about 30% of them do not do oral sex, while others may find certain positions repulsive. Personally, I think that anything between two consenting heterosexual adults is OK, as long as it does not hurt. Do not excert too much pressure on your fiancee, remember, that action causes reaction. Hinting unobtrusevely that it’s better that your curiosity be satisfied at home… Adolph, you are correct in all your assumptions, about anal design, its mucosa, etc. Yet, the conclusions are wrong. Look around: mortal danger od having anal sex in the age of AIDS does not stop educated gays from practicing it! That’s very human: pleasure seeking is a powerful stimulus! Jack, your knowledge of human penile evolution is striking. I’d be very interested to know details. I know that _os penis_ is not present only in man. Is it present in the Bonobo monkeys? Incidentally, is it true, that in walruses os penis is the largest bone in the body? And what special feature, do you think, makes human penis “evolved”? To me, a penis (at least, my own), is rather dull. Compared to other animals. At least, in many it’s multicolored, pleasure even to look at. (Evolutionary advantage?) I’ll try to keep the good job, but I can’t do it out of the blue:Uniball got to provide material. ---

I've never heard that the Bonobo did all of these sexual things. I'm very curious to know if they engage in anal sex. Actually, I'm sure that there is a lot of good information that would come from studying these guys. > > ``` > > \*\* You need to watch more PBS. They are freaks. female-to-female, male-to-male, relatives, group sex. They do it in captivity out in the open as well. The best scene I saw was a male carrying a bundle of sticks. The female bends over in position, the male sticks her, the female walks away with the sticks. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anal-sex-surprisingly-tame/42955.md?page=1)
