Do women derive pleasure from anal sex?

I don’t think I have the google-fu to find a scientific answer to this question. I know men do because of their prostate, but do women? I mean there is a lot of porn with anal sex but that doesnt really mean anything since the majority of porn is made for men.
If so, is it comparable to the amount of pleasure they get from vaginal intercourse? Or when straight couples do anal, is the woman simply humoring the man since the anus is tighter?
This question has been on my mind for several days now. I need to know!

I am a guy, however according to my extensive research the answer is some of them do. Of course that’s hearsay evidence, and anecdotal at that, but I doubt all of them were lying to me as some form of mass conspiracy to get women more sex that they don’t enjoy.

I think that some women definitely do.

If its seen as an alternative form of contraception in Latin America (sorry, can’t remember where I read that) surely there must be some pleasure derived from it.

Perhaps its some sort of pleasure that’s not completely physical :confused:

Some women do, sure. At least as much pleasure as is gotten from vaginal inercourse. Remember, guys (and gals interested in such things) - the vagina has very few nerve endings. If it had lots of sensation, pushing a baby through it would be unbearable, not just difficult!

The vagina develops from the same fetal tissue that made your scrotum - so rubbing inside the vagina feels more like rubbing your ballsack than your cock. It feels good, but for most people it isn’t enough sensation to cause orgasm on its own. Want the pleasure of lots of nerve endings? Find the clitoris, my son. (Some of that tissue may also form in another place in some women - the infamous “G-spot”.)

Anal sex can send intense tingles straight up your spine, as well as intense arousal feelings, but (for me, anyway) it’s hard to have a full orgasm that way. But combine anal with stroking the clit, and it’s a whole new world.

See, that has me wondering. I’ve heard it before I’ve read endless advice that is pretty much “go down on her afterwards and finish the job” but my girlfriend says that she came just about every time we did it in the past, without any sort of oral stimulation. I asked (cos I was a virgin before we met) if she needed any more attention down below and she told me that penetration was pretty much all she needed. Made me think she was either lying or didn’t actually know what an orgasm felt like :dubious:

Oh and I won’t poke fun (pun not intended) at the dubious ending to that paragraph :wink:

Well, why would she lie? For whatever reason of hers, she didn’t want you going down on her. Does it really matter why, as long as she was happy?

Can some women orgasm through vaginal intercourse alone? Sure! Can some men orgasm through scrotal stimulation alone? Sure! Some people can orgasm just by watching videos of senate hearings! People are weird.

Is it possible she didn’t know what an orgasm feels like? Yep. But that’s not really important. What’s important is that she was satisfied with whatever it was she was feeling. Perhaps one day she’ll have an orgasm (assuming she’s not now) - Great! Wonderful! Does that mean she’ll suddenly no longer have felt pleasure in the past? No. She liked what you were doing. You were a considerate lover - you asked, she said things were fine. Good. You did well.

Anything else is her problem, not yours. :wink:

Heh. I thought of the same thing when I posted it. Of course, I meant it in a wise sage voice a la South Park - but OTOH, I do hope my son finds the clitoris some day. Just not *my *clitoris. Ick.

Some women orgasm through fantasy alone. Some don’t ever. Women aren’t quite like men when it comes down to it.

That was *not * a good segue, my dear.

You can begin your investigation of the subject by reading “The Surrender” by Toni Bentley.

:smiley:

Cite? :eek:

Since the only factual answer can be “some do and some don’t,” I think this one is better suited to IMHO.

“Some do, some don’t” is about as definative an answer as you are going to get. I had several girlfriends who actually liked anal better than vaginal. Others wouldn’t even try it. Go figure. YMMV. :smiley:

Am I the only one that read this and heard that Disney song in my head?

“A whole new world…” Was that Beauty and the Beast?

Alladin. And yes, yes I did. And I tried to think of dirty new lyrics, but in the end (heh) I just couldn’t sully the song that way.

Isn’t there a condition that causes some women to orgasm from a particularly good church sermon?

The Coming of the Lord?
(I am SO going to hell!)

BWAHAHAHAHA!

In answer to the OP, since I haven’t answered it and this is my second post: yes, it depends. It’s just a different feeling, sometimes more intense actually, even if it doesn’t bring one to orgasm. The…er…inherent dirtyness is certainly a thrill, too, if you’re into that sort of thing.
