I have 2 DDs and hate how this kind of crap is being normalised. Fucking hilarious Layla Hmm

Vaginal sex is excruciating the first time too

Not for everyone. Wink See...

Lichtie · 06/10/2018 08:57

And OP, thanks for the link to the site, just bought some good stuff for an upcoming birthday. (not that card, but equally not offended by it either)

Lweji · 06/10/2018 09:00

Maybe a lot of you would be a lot less uptight if you were getting better sex

Or... Some people are already having great sex and don't feel the need to seek pleasure in different ways. Grin
Exploring bum holes (and other options) seems to be more associated with non satisfaction with existing sex life. Grin

Just... You know... offering a different perspective. Wink

But it's posts like this that scream cool girl.
No sex life is better or worse for including or excluding different ways to have sex.

Bertrand this is what one of my gay friends says. Which is why I said earlier that gay couples are just as unlikely/likely to have anal sex as straight couples. My friend laughed when someone mentioned 'bumming' to him and said most gay men don't even do it. Now I'm not saying one man is the spokesperson for everybody but I'd certainly say there's more ignorance than homophobia on this thread based on the amount of posters assuming that anal sex is routine for gay men.

“Maybe a lot of you would be a lot less uptight if you were getting better sex wink”

Yes EarlyWalker, it must be that. What would we do without you to enlighten us repressed women about cucumbers and polos - wink wink.

ThisIsTheFirstStep · 06/10/2018 09:19

mandarine if women express any negative feelings about sex, it’s because they are uptight, prudish bitches who need a good shagging.

Earlywalker · 06/10/2018 09:40

It was a joke obviously, hence the wink face. However, if the shoe fits feel free to wear it. After 5 years of exploring the karma sutra we moved on, nothing ‘cool girl’ about it, not very ladylike I’m sure but I’m allowed to want good sex.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with two consenting adults having anal sex. You can Harper on about how unnatural it is and whatever but so are lots of things, condoms for one certainly aren’t the natural way to have sex, should we start telling young people not to feel pressured into using them?

It’s like a parallel universe here, if people want to do it up the bum then let them crack on.

CiderBrains · 06/10/2018 09:43

I was referring to the posters who were being specifically judgemental towards those who choose to do anal sex, not to everyone who has expressed they don't like it.

BertrandRussell · 06/10/2018 09:45

“There is absolutely nothing wrong with two consenting adults having anal sex.“
[sigh]

Of course there isn’t.

CiderBrains · 06/10/2018 09:52

One of the biggest issues here is girls/women doing anal without a condom (outside a long term relationship where you are both clear of STIs.)

Girls/women need to be educated on the fact condoms aren't just worn with vaginal sex to prevent pregnancy..

Mandarine · 06/10/2018 09:53

Early - why do you presume anyone cares about your sex life?

Just don’t come in here implying that anyone who isn’t interested in anal is uptight. Your attitude exemplifies the problem.

Lethaldrizzle · 06/10/2018 10:03

I couldn't give 2 hoots who takes what up their like arse, I do give 2 hoots that young women feel pressurised into doing it because it's seen as frigid if you don't.

CiderBrains · 06/10/2018 10:09

Unfortunately the old age "do it or your friggid " has been rife amongst young people for decades about all kinds of sexual acts. It's not a new thing Sad

CiderBrains · 06/10/2018 10:10

Frigid

Cider - correct, but anal sex wasn't the norm when I lost my virginity. It seems it is now. So things have changed. And Women calling other women frigid because they don't like anal sex is nuts

LavendarGreen · 06/10/2018 10:14

@earlywalker

Yeah of course you were JOKING Hmm

'Haven't you lot got a sense of humour???'

Ha ha ha LOL.

Pathetic.

CiderBrains · 06/10/2018 10:17

Lethal it's horrible isn't it, the word frigid. It goes with girls on the other end of the scale calling each other "sluts" and "slags." Sad

Earlywalker · 06/10/2018 10:26

Lol so I’ve said I was joking. You’re all ridiculous, I’m not allowed to say I enjoy anal but you think it’s ok to attack me?
It’s acceptable to say anal is only used because my sex life was so dull but not for me to say I enjoy good sex and doing anal?
You’re all mental and way too overly invested, obviously a sensitive subject.
It’s a card FFS it’s not pressuring anyone into having anal sex. If you seriously think young men that want to pressure someone to do something, do so by going into the anniversary section of small card website then you’re seriously out of touch with the real world.

Gottagetmoving · 06/10/2018 10:36

Maybe a lot of you would be a lot less uptight if you were getting better sex

So if you don't like anal sex you are uptight?
It may be we get great sex without having to have anal sex. Maybe people try anything because their sex life is pretty shit....so they decide a bit of shit will enhance it.

ConcreteUnderpants · 06/10/2018 10:44

Lavendar: You must be so proud of yourself though, being sooo 'good at anal sex.' Do you put that on your CV?

Was there really any need for such a nasty personal attack on earlywalker?
Congratulations on your awesome arsehole, now seriously, calm your aggression before you give yourself a prolapse

user1490465531 · 06/10/2018 10:50

Seriously these are the crappest cards ever.
Surely no one buys these they are cringe on the highest level.

Mandarine · 06/10/2018 10:55

As is the case with men, I generally find those women who need to “share” about the fascinating details of their sex lives, are sadly the ones likely to be most lacking in that department.

AlphaBravo · 06/10/2018 10:58

If bum sex hurts you're doing it wrong @OP

Also it is entirely normal and has been happening since humans realised they could put their bits inside other humans bits.

Get a life. Honestly.

Earlywalker · 06/10/2018 10:59

Mandarine so because I’ve been honest that I’ve had and enjoyed anal sex, on a thread about anal sex, I obviously have a shit sex life? Ok then, nice logic.

Lavender by the way, I never said I was good at anal sex. I will tell DH to consider adding it to his CV though, he’s fantastic. Thanks for the tip.
