> [@Seanette](#): > > WHY did I look that up? EEEEWWWW!!! (retch) My God. Talk about a monster of a bladder infection. That’s nuts. :eek: So it seems to me that hetero anal sex ISN’T as popular as the OP thought. My BF likes it and physically I have no problem with it, but it’s not at all arousing for me. My price is a massage after. 😃 In porn it’s revolting, however. I don’t want to see that!! ---

You must only be familiar with water- tight, hermetically sealed back doors and girlfriends don’t get excited during anal, and who sleep on their stomachs for 2 to 3 days post sex. ---

I guess it’s possible, but usually this sort of trouble arises only with the aid of Mr. Johnson making a return visit to Love Canal. If he stays strictly in the Poop Chute (“Gonna ram it, ram it, ram it up ya poop chute,” ) I don’t see how it’s much riskier than spewing spunk anywhere in the general vicinity. ---

> [@ducati](#): > > Among our peers at certain [venues](http://trapezeclub.com/), I’d say the practice has about 60% participation rate, with DP getting 40-50%. In public, I have met a ton of women that say they would never try it or it’s gross. In the bedroom though, I have never met a women who wouldn’t at least try it and a good percentage who actively enjoyed it. I tend to think a lot of women feel social pressure to lie about these things. In addition to the physical and visual excitement it brings. Sacrificing your enjoyment for the enjoyment of your partner is pretty much always sexy, whether it’s anal or taking out the garbage. It makes me feel special when a woman does this for me. ---
