Cosmopolitan - Bleeding after anal sex

""It's not unexpected that [anal sex] would cause bleeding." Does that mean you should never put anything up your butt hole? No! It just means you need to take some extra precautions, like, say, a little thing called a shit-ton of lube"

"It's not a sprint, it's a marathon back there. And you want to make to the finish line without any bleeding or discomfort."

You want individual posters to each post their disagreement every single time anyone posts anything they disagree with?

Do you understand how conversations work?

I'm beginning to think not 😁😁😁

AngryAttackKittens · 03/02/2019 22:14

Gosh, Nothing, it's very unladylike to know that you're considered attractive by others.

littlbrowndog · 03/02/2019 22:14

Completely missing point of thread Elon.
Yet again

ElonMask · 03/02/2019 22:12

Perhaps it wasn't you nothing but someone said the anus was not "designed" for sex, you did not disagree with it.

I think if you do not feel lucky to be having sex with the person your doing it with then something is far wrong. This is not unusual or because you are especially beautiful. I'm annoyed at the implication that all women have to be is pretty and men should be be thankful to be deemed good enough to get into the womens bed.

If you felt equally grateful then we're in total agreement...if you felt like they were the lucky ones, then that's not very attractive.

Anal sex is quite common.. cosmopolitan is by and for women. Does everything have to be prefaced by a "don't do this if you don't want to" warning ?

AngryAttackKittens · 03/02/2019 22:01

And again, the idea that women being in pain is normal is also very much related to porn.

NothingOnTellyAgain · 03/02/2019 21:59

I mean they must have continued while she was getting more injured to cause such damage

Its grim

NothingOnTellyAgain · 03/02/2019 21:58

She was 16

And I think the men with her had got the magic yes

As she must have been in a lot of pain and that must have been obvious to them

Where did that thread about the girl in Australia who now needs a colostomy bag after group anal sex go? (Waits hopefully for R0)

AngryAttackKittens · 03/02/2019 21:57

I had precisely one partner who tried to pressure me into anal as a young woman. He got the "great, you first!" response and gave up in a sulk. It wasn't a thing every bloke expected until, hmm, maybe 5 years ago? 10?

littlbrowndog · 03/02/2019 21:56

:)))

NothingOnTellyAgain · 03/02/2019 21:52

Lolol

Elon is battling legions of prudish feminists who demonise men but also say they can be v nice and who are ugly hairy manhaters but also maybe not, in her head :D

littlbrowndog · 03/02/2019 21:50

Am I on a different thread to Elon ?
Elon yahoo Elon

NothingOnTellyAgain · 03/02/2019 21:49

Elon I have said that the blokes at school were box ticky and could be coercive

I also said not all the men I met in my 20s were like this but lots were. Some were horrible, that's the way it goes.

Even the horrible ones didn't try to pressurise into anal though or even mention it as it wasn't normalised then

I want to know why you claimed I said anal was unnatural when I said nothing of the sort

Also why you think articles on sex education don't need to include anything about consent or protection

And the grateful thing is interesting. I am reporting how it was. Be angry with the men. Why are you angry with me? And why is it a bad word. I am grateful for lots of things, my DH for one, and I tell him so. Nothing wrong with that.

AngryAttackKittens · 03/02/2019 21:41

There's actually been research on the impact porn is having on young men in terms of some of them not being able to get it up or orgasm with a real woman because their expectations have been so warped by the porn they've been watching since they were in their tweens. So yeah, not something people are making up just to make Elon feel sad.

ElonMask · 03/02/2019 21:40

The implication is clearly that men should be more grateful than women I think, which is a terrible attitude.

littlbrowndog · 03/02/2019 21:38

Jeez Elon you just got owned on another thread. Pop back to that lols 💪💪

littlbrowndog · 03/02/2019 21:38

Lols they do kittens

ElonMask · 03/02/2019 21:37

Guys were happy when someone slept with them

Who is not happy when someone sleeps with them ? You ? Were you all indifferent ? Today's men are indifferent ?

AngryAttackKittens · 03/02/2019 21:37

If young women need lube. Not you women, before anyone claims that I'm persecuting them.

AngryAttackKittens · 03/02/2019 21:36

This is 100% grooming. It's not a subtle attempt to tell girls anal is too much of a faff at all, it's an attempt to normalize it and persuade them to disregard worrying side effects as normal. Sex shouldn't make you bleed. If it does that's a problem.

Also I've noticed a trend for articles grooming young women into accepting anal to insist that all sex requires lube, and it's just that anal requires a bit more of it. I am 45 and have never needed lube. Post menopause maybe? Don't know yet. But if you women need lube for vaginal sex then chances are they're just not aroused enough to be having sex, so articles like this are normalizing that too.

And agreed with everyone else that the "discussion of anal and/or choking here, attempt to shame anyone who says they'd rather not!" batsignal really does seem to be a thing. Maybe people have a Google alert set up?

pachyderm · 03/02/2019 21:35

Correction, I meant Nothingontelly there, not Elon in the last bit

ElonMask · 03/02/2019 21:35

Eh ? Ok I'll leave you to your "discussion" about how young men today are all "ruined" and how in your day they were just glad to get with a woman, which lets face it, all men should be. Especially if you are hot, like me. Oh by the way does anyone know why other women feel under pressure to be the sort of women men's eyes pop out at ?

Insightful stuff.

pachyderm · 03/02/2019 21:35

Elon you are spectacularly missing the point. What she was pointing out is that 20 or 30 years ago, before men were drenched in porn, it was enough to be an attractive young woman. A man you went to bed with was delighted to be there with you because you were a real human being and that was what he was expecting. He had not been saturated and numbed with countless images of hairless genitalia, choking, slapping, hair pulling, double penetration and ejaculating on women's faces. Therefore he was more likely to be respectful and treat you like a person. Elon is not claiming any great specialness, I could have written her post. Your posts depress me frankly.

7Days · 03/02/2019 21:33

Lol Elon. Keep trying.

The word Grateful seems to have set people off.
But I get what is meant, I had similar experiences I the 90s. Guys were happy when someone slept with them, and a kind of camaraderie was common.

Not too look back with Rose tinted glasses. There were plenty of pushy men then too, as ever. But no normal man would expect pain or blood or revulsion.

Maybe it's the same n o w and the normal guys still don't. Just there might be less of them, going by the stats.
