Been together 7 months - been sleeping together for 6 and a half of those Blush Now spending every day and most nights together so you could say we're pretty close.

But how does one broach the subject of anal sex? he hasn't mentioned it, I'm too shy to - would he have brought it up by now if he was into it?

Shall we apply the rule for teenagers here?

If you are too shy to talk about something sex-related then you are not ready to do it.

SPsFanjoTheBigStickyHaribo · 04/03/2013 16:30

Dear god I hope I never have to have the bum sex talk. It ain't happening! Should I warn potential suitors up front that they wont be entering the back? Grin

Purplejellybaby · 04/03/2013 16:31

There are some really patronising people on MN!

It isn't my thing so unable to offer advice sorry

Locketjuice · 04/03/2013 16:32

Haha, he will probably wait until your drunk and accidentally slip it in.. And wait for your reaction...

That's if he wants to do it, you might have a nice boyfriend though.. Wink

Not speaking from experience or anything Hmm

Get a teeshirt printed and wear it on all first dates, SP. We'll help with the wording

Trills · 04/03/2013 16:36

He may or may not have brought it up. It depends on far too many factors, many of which you won't know anything about (perhaps an ex told him that no women actually like it, and he believed her, for example).

If you want to do it you should bring it up.

Dahlen · 04/03/2013 16:36

Why do you think you should discuss it at all? Do you want to try it or are you worried he might want to when you don't?

It's a myth that all men like anal. Some are seriously turned off by it for obvious reasons. If you want to try it, broach the subject. Otherwise just assume he's a man who doesn't want to engage in it and move on.

AnyFucker · 04/03/2013 18:32

Why is this something you are thinking about ?

Kione · 04/03/2013 18:35

why cant she like it?? Hmm most men I've been with would like to simetimes I had, if you fancy doing ut just ask him.if he is into it just in a light fun convetsation maybe after a fewWine

Kione · 04/03/2013 18:36

sorry, touch phone

seeker · 04/03/2013 18:37

Do you want to do it?

AnyFucker · 04/03/2013 18:39

If you are replying to me me, kione, I didn't say she "couldn't like it"

I just wondered why it was now at the forefront of her mind. Does she see it as an inevitable "next step" that he will want to take ? Does she want to broach it herself ? The OP isn't that clear.

MechanicalTheatre · 04/03/2013 18:40

I really hope that if he "waits til you're drunk and accidentally slips it in" you run for the fucking hills because that is rape.

If you are into it, bring it up. If you are not, do not, and if he wants to, say no.

Insecure24 · 04/03/2013 18:43

Probably it doesn't interest him? My dp is totally put off it thank god!

Kione · 04/03/2013 18:51

it was for all.of those replies that sounded a bit patronising.
She says she is too shy to bring it up so to me it sounds like she would like to.
If I am wrong he doesnt have to bring it up and it shouldnt worry the OP

seeker · 04/03/2013 19:26

"Haha, he will probably wait until your drunk and accidentally slip it in.. And wait for your reaction... "

Dear God- and they say we don't need feminism......

ErikNorseman · 04/03/2013 19:44

Maybe OP likes it and assumed he would bring it up first? There's a belief that women are dirty if they like bumsex so maybe OP feels embarrassed at the thought that her boyfriend might think she's a minger?

OP, why don't you ask him if he's ever tried it? He'll either say 'yeah I love it', 'no but I'd like to' or 'ew no'. You can tailor your response accordingly.

seeker · 04/03/2013 20:01

God, I hate pornography.

Skinnywhippet · 04/03/2013 20:02

Someone please explain it to me....I just don't get it? Why? I mean, I suppose to the guy it's another hole (eeew) but surely not much pleasure for women...or have I got this wrong. And what happens if there is a poo in there. Oh can't believe I'm typing this!

saintmerryweather · 04/03/2013 20:07

are women not meant to like anal or something?

If you want to try it then tell him op

seeker · 04/03/2013 20:07

It's another bloody thing that the porn industry has convinced women they have to do. It makes me rage!!!!!!

MechanicalTheatre · 04/03/2013 20:10

Really, Erik? If a man thought I was a minger due to my sexual preferences, I'd thank my lucky stars that I'd asked the question, as it would be a clear sign that he was a knob of the highest order.

Skinny, done right, anal is nice for some.

Stepissue · 04/03/2013 20:11

Mechanical - Well said. 'minger' Hmm

seeker · 04/03/2013 20:12

But it is not compulsory.

You don't have to do it.

Whatever men tell you.

Many people don't.

monkeyfacegrace · 04/03/2013 20:13

Hmm seeker.

I like anal. Nowt to do with porn Confused
