Do women derive pleasure from anal sex?

I’ve tried it and didn’t like it.

Just not my thing.

Didn’t do anything for me at best, and at worst hurt like you wouldn’t believe.

In the spirit of adventure and trying new things I gave it a shot, the first time it was massively, heinously painful. On the obvious premise that we weren’t doing something right, I explained the issue (later - much later when the pain went away). We tried it a little differently. Mildly painful but still not anything fun for me. Yet a third time, didn’t hurt but I didn’t care for it. Just not my thing.

Although, part of that was pure annoyance with the guy. Once I’d agreed to try it it was all he wanted to do ever, even when it was clear that it was either massively painful or just no fun for me.

I just didn’t care for the sensation even when it didn’t hurt.

Why yes, he was a jackass, thanks for asking! :smiley:

Tried it once. Like Aangelica said, massively, heinously painful. I don’t willingly go through that kind of pain more than once. Now all it takes is for the guy to get a little clumsy and end up to close to that neighborhood, and I lose the mood completely, and have to be let alone for a while.

Oh yeah, baby, filibuster that shit! Oh… GOD… THEY’RE MOVING FOR CLOITURE!!! ARE THEY EVEN ALLOWED TO SHOW THIS SORT OF THING?

I hear the ones starring John McCain are the most hardcore.

They are into bondage too.

“I yield to my good friend”.

To be fair, for guys the main attractions are (depending on the relationship dynamics) the trust involved or the feeling of dominance, and the taboo of the act. As far as physical sensations, I prefer vaginal sex overall. While anal feels “tighter,” at least at first, you also don’t get as much pressure on the frenulum and you don’t get as much of the grip and ripple effect that you can get from a woman who either has good muscular control, or who is just plain out of control from orgasming.

Oh yes, some women do indeed enjoy anal sex. One of my ex-girlfriends, after I introduced her to it, would occasionally request it. She often got very wild during and after those sessions. Subjectively, I think she got wetter than usual too. She told me that it was partly the idea of doing something “nasty” like that that turned her on so much, but the sensation was pretty fantastic too.

A different girlfriend liked it as part of a bondage scene. Tie her up and blindfold her and suddenly she’s asking to be #^¢*ed in the @$$ (her words). Surprised the hell out of me. All I thought I was going to do was the bondage stuff and suddenly she’s using explicit language and asking for something I normally have to slowly work up to. Surprised her too, from what she told me later. She hadn’t tried bondage before and anal suddenly seemed like it would be fun too. Serendipity at its best. Any guys who are reading this, don’t assume you’ll get this reaction when you tie a girl up. That was, literally, a once-in-a-lifetime thing for me. Oddly, she only really liked it as part of bondage. We tried it later without the ropes and she didn’t get anywhere near as much fun out of it, though she didn’t really dislike it either.

Other exs; some liked it, some didn’t. One girl, quite understandably, didn’t even want to try it due to having Crohn’s Syndrome. Back in my wilder youth, I pretty much tried everything sexual that didn’t conflict with one of my Four Rules, and I used to try and find things my girlfriends hadn’t done so that I could, you know, be the first at something. Yeah, I admit, it was flag-planting, but I always tried to make it mutually fun flag-planting.

Quite a few of them hadn’t tried it before me, some had been put off by ex-boyfriends trying it. Apparently, there are quite a few clueless guys who do the, “Whoops, I slipped and put it in the wrong hole,” thing. Needless to say, they got no more that night, and in a few cases were permanently banished. I think if someone unexpectedly jabbed a dick in my ass, I’d be pretty pissed off and he wouldn’t be getting any more fun-time from me either. Straight or gay, male or female, no one would think that’s nice.

What she said.

Couple of points:

  1. Anal play is probably the one sex act where both sexes feel the same feelings. Yes there is a prostate for men, but that doesn’t have to be touched. Also, as mentioned above, the g-spot can be found during anal play too. So, if you are wondering if the other sex likes or dislikes it, I guess you could start by asking yourself.

  2. Anal play isn’t just penetration. Rubbing around down there with a finger, tongue, toy, ??? can feel pretty darn good and is the ‘magic button’ for a few past lovers that pushed them to orgasm. Rubbing/stroking with thumb or toy during oral is a nice bonus, er, touch.

  3. Those who think that anyone can go from exit-only immediately to penis-sized entry is just being silly. Slowly going from rubbing to small toy to finger (trim nails!) to medium toy to larger toy or penis size over a few sessions and LOTS of lube has a better chance for pleasure and return trips. Why rush it and cause pain and then be banned?
