a hole different kind of sex

I don't like olives. let one slip in once in a mouthful. find them the most revolting food anyone could eat. But yet others find them delicious. Maybe my tastebuds are unadventurous. You could advise me to try them in a variety of ways scenarios , but I wouldn't believe you and stay ignorant to this delicacy....

So if we all have different tastes and if:

It's a given that loving sex is the best kind of sex and we all feelclose and intimate.

It's a given that some couples want to spice up their sex life by introducing toys/positions/clothing/massage/s&mand likes. Intimate but fun between consensual adults.

It's a given that some couples want to try threesomes/swing etc. and say if you have a good solid trustworthy relationship this can keep a relationship healthy and long lasting.

But anal sex is something that from the boards here I am feeling that is a violation and unnatural. That it is the man that would primarily want this. Is this the general consensus or a delicacy that you just don't want to try ever.

Well, I'm watching sex hospital. Sadly nothing on olives. Just boring cheating, G spots, stuffed vagina models, porn, gang band(?) bondage,

dirtybadger · 09/12/2014 00:45

What's a gang band? I think you mean bang(s)?

DioneTheDiabolist · 09/12/2014 00:46

OP.

Anal sex is an enjoyable part of my sex life. Olives are like grapes that have gone terribly, terribly wrong.

Lweji · 09/12/2014 00:49

Must be gang bang (what do I know? I'm just a plain vanilla fan - and a real olive fan too)

SnowPetrel · 09/12/2014 00:50

I won't be trying anal as long as olive

SockDrawer · 09/12/2014 07:51

@ this thread, especially the PP who bought an olive bowl just yesterday who will now always gaze at it fondly and think of anal.

CheerfulYank · 09/12/2014 07:59

Olives = delicious

Anal = Meh. Not horrible but no great delight.

Lweji · 09/12/2014 08:17

Lweji · 09/12/2014 08:21

Oh bugger, olive retentive.

wideboy26 · 09/12/2014 08:27

On anotheir forum I visit, anal sex is an oft mentioned subject. However, since there are automated filters, you have to disguise certain words to avoid posts being deleted, so anal sex has become known as 'alan'. This gives rise to some amusing posts, particularly when new or newish posters are still unaware of the anagram. For example, when somebody is recounting what happened on a first date, posters will ask whether alan was present or whether alan will be participating in a forthcoming date. It gives rise to some funny cross-purpose posts until the penny drops.

Oh - and in general I don't like olives, but a few months ago I had them straight from the tree rather than from a jar. A totally different experience and more pleasurable to eat. And I've never tried alan for fear of damaging my wife. I'm certain she wouldn't be very attracted to the idea either.

MajesticWhine · 09/12/2014 08:30

another forum - shudder. That really is a violation

EdmondDantes · 09/12/2014 09:05

No idea how This is going to go but Let's flip this and find out what is the feeling/thoughts if your partner asked you to do him? Would u?how would u feel? What happens if he likes it and you don't - would you keep doing it for him?

CogitOIOIO · 09/12/2014 09:27

OK... taking the OP's originally slightly garbled point seriously.

Some people enjoy anal sex, others don't want to entertain it
If there's an MN 'stance' it's that all sexual activity should be engaged in voluntarily and never coerced.
If someone doesn't want to entertain anal sex and finds themselves under pressure from a man (and this is a female-oriented website so it's usually a man) to do so, and if they want support from MN, yes they will be told that they are not being treated with respect and, in the worst cases, being violated.

It's a question of consent.

HollyJollyDillydolly · 09/12/2014 09:29

I don't like olives.

MarjorieMelon · 09/12/2014 09:32

I wouldn't do anything I didn't want to do for anybody regardless of how much the other person wanted it.

Gileswithachainsaw · 09/12/2014 09:40

Don't like olives or anal

tried both

wideboy26 · 09/12/2014 11:49

Apologies for mentioning another forum, Majestic. Didn't realise that this one is so parochial! Oddly enough, it was on the other forum that I first learnt about MN relationships forum and have been a lurker ever since.

NewEraNewMindset · 09/12/2014 11:54

I don't like green olives but I love black pitted ones, this possibly makes me common.

Anal? With the right person it can be pretty hot, DP though doesn't want to go there at all and that's absolutely fine with me. I would be more concerned with someone who wanted it all the time as I think there are some long term health implications to be had.

Lweji · 09/12/2014 11:57

Sorry, but I had to go back to the OP:

I don't like olives. let one slip in once in a mouthful. find them the most revolting food anyone could eat.
Did you swallow? Or spit?

mrscumberbatch · 09/12/2014 12:06

I read it as she had a new bowel for her olives...

I don't know where Op got their ideas on MNers feelings regarding bumsex. Definitely not anything that I've ever heard on here in 6:7 years.

But this has to go into classics. I'll never look at an Olive the same way again....

justleavethebottle · 09/12/2014 12:16

Ffs, unnatural?! I'm not saying these are your personal thoughts necessarily OP, but those who believe that anal sex is unnatural need a re think. In that case, aren't sex toys 'unnatural'? and in that case, isn't gay sex 'unnatural'? Erm, no. It's natural to explore your sexuality to find out what you like and what you don't like. Personally, I did like it and am now with a woman, so I'm not sure how 'unnatural' that makes me

If you like anal sex, great! If you don't, fine. End of.....or am I missing something?

middleagecrisis · 09/12/2014 12:18

My favourite part is the OP getting upset because people would rather play around her lighthearted metaphor (oh wait, alliteration?) than seriously discuss her misguided comments about MN and anal sex.
Lweji, if i was op i'd find your post offensive, arrogant and narrowminded. I have read her post and found she posted with humour but with an opportunity for others to not take offence and not dictating herself what was right or wrong here. it was open to discussion.
I also think there are members here that are very quick to judge or to round up a conversation in what they believe and monopolise a topic with their opinions and comments. pose a question and put the answers as how they feel it is and god love anyone who wishes to argue their points.

what's to gain from your personal attacks at how the op presented the issue or insult her thoughts on MN. That's so petty of you and doesn't make your arguement any stronger.

I haven't posted in a while because of this myself and feel it can put people off posting.

sherbetpips · 09/12/2014 12:23

hated olives when younger, love olives now, opposite with anal

Lweji · 09/12/2014 12:27

My point was that the OP introduced the lighthearted analogy, so should expect people to keep lighthearted and play around the analogy, as so often happens in MN.

If she wanted to seriously discuss the subject, she could still do it and still put her point forward in a neutral way.
No need to throw the olives out of the pram because people continued to be lighthearted. Either it's lighthearted or not.

Personally, I get offended when all MNs get branded as with having the same opinion (because it's not mine, nor of many MNetters). In this case that anal sex is a violation and unnatural. Don't be upset if you get some stick back.

Allalonenow · 09/12/2014 12:33

@ "Did you swallow? Or spit?"
