The vagina and rectum are next to each other, with flexible walls. So, from some angles, anal sex will stimulate the G-spot. ---

Made me think she was either lying or didn’t actually know what an orgasm felt like :dubious: Don’t forget that depending on the position there can be plenty of external stimulation during penetration. ---

So despite eleventy million sex manuals, some women do like it like that. ---

Yes. I think the inherent dirtiness, as **Anaamika** so aptly put it, may have been more a factor in the orgasm than the physical stimulation itself, but I have orgasms pretty easily anyway, so who knows. I don’t think it’s something I need to sit around puzzling over. Although I suppose I can do that now, while I’m single, so I won’t have to puzzle over it next time I’m dating someone. ---

I can see your brown eye waiting for me to plunder Tell me princess, now did did you last let your bum be done? I can open your cheeks Take you quickly or slowly Back and forth with gusto on a magic anal ride A whole new hole A new fantastic place to screw Please don’t tell me no or go too slow Just start that orgasmic screaming A whole new hole A dazzling place I never knew And when I’m way back here It’s crystal clear That I’m in a whole new hole with you Unbelievably tight Indescribable feeling Our skin slapping together It’s so tight that I could die A whole new world (Don’t you dare close your thighs) A new sensation filling me (Hold your breath, it gets better) I’m like a shooting star I’ve come so hard I can’t go back to how it used to be ---

So from I can tell right now it seems there are women that like it and women that will never know because they don’t want to try it. Any women that tried and it didn’t do anything for you? ---

Any women that tried and it didn’t do anything for you? whoops, I was so busy telling Pushkin how I like it, I didn’t address the OP. Yeah, tried it once, didn’t like it. Tried it a second time just to confirm. Not interested. ---

So it may seem that I’m coming “from penetration alone,” even though that’s not really the case. And I sometimes enjoy anal. Other times, I’m just too tense.
