Does anyone actually like anal?

[Kuman]

Am struggling to see how myself. Haven't done it but came close once. If I did think I might suspend my usual size criteria...but am mostly interested if this is anything anyone female actually enjoys. Friends are universal in seeing it as sthg men want and women sometimes put up with.

Stomas are not necessarily permanent.

It's a no from me. I'm not a collection of holes to be poked.

I'm pretty much with Bertie on this one.

The key is to relax and start of slow. And actually keep things pretty slow too, but with clitoral stimulation it can feel amazing. Have definitely had some of the most intense orgasms that way. First time was horrible though. Being in the shower helps to begin with. We don't do it often as I am very prone to UTIs and despite never having PIV after PIA and showering straight after 9times out of 10 I end up with a UTI / kidney infection

I'm not so sure about this assumption that anal sex is that popular amongst men - tbh many that I've spoken either haven't enjoyed it, or are completely 'eeww' about it.

Current lover is too blessed of girth. We've been experimenting with toys, though and yeah, it feels pretty good.

I've definitely enjoyed it in the past.

I usually swallow - not because I'm cool but because it's less messy, and I actually quite like it. Each to their own, though. I don't think I've always enjoyed swallowing.

Yep I like it since I discovered that using a butt plug for a while first helps open things up before trying penetration with anything bigger. First time successfully I felt like Xmas had come early, it was like wow! A bonus extra way to have sex, who knew? DH doesn't like it but is not averse to doing me that way with a dildo. Combined with clitoral stimulation = massive powerful orgasm.

Pretty traditional MN response topic to this thread;

''OMG my god, thats a no no no.... I haven't tried it.''

There's nothing like being open minded is there? :)

I've only done it once and it was like having a really large poo backwards - suspect we went about it the wrong way and I wasn't really keen.

I'd be open to trying it again with dh, he's never done it, is slightly curious but not over fussed. Part of me would like to do it, part of me worries about poo.

A bonus extra way to have sex is a good way to explain it. It's not essential and it's certainly not a daily pleasure, but it's a nice to have if you enjoy it. I think it's worth the effort to see if you can enjoy it, assuming you're with the right person. A lot like whiskey, really.

I don't think anal sex is popular. My gay friend tells me he absolutely won't do it, BJs instead.

My dh isn't interested in it. Don't think he'd do it even with a woman that wanted to. I've tried it in the past with previous bf, didn't see the point.

I will advise both my dc against it. It's one of these niche things that porn has normalised and teens think "everyone" is doing.

Nah not for me. Tried it a couple of times, enjoyed it once when drunk but not enough to bother again.

I never swallow. I did when I was younger but to be honest the thought makes me feel ill. I just don't do it to the 'finish' but as it is foreplay for us it's no biggy.

Like PPs, I have my most intense orgasms through anal so I like it.

Had attempts in the past where the guys treated it like piv so it didn't work/happen but only recently did it with someone who took great care and made sure every step of the way that I was ok and I genuinely enjoyed it for that reason.
It is an intense enjoyable feeling but that doesn't mean I'd do it with every guy I'm with as I think it's totally dependant on them as a lover and obviously their girth.

I don't rave about it, I do swallow as it's quicker than finding somewhere to spit and I don't care it's gone in seconds.

Love, love, love it! The trick is to use lots of lubricant (good old ky jelly is still the best), get the guy to enter very gently and once he's in its fun from there. Its a lot more intense than piv and is great if you are in the mood. But you have to be in the mood for it, or it can be very uncomfortable.

Purple I totally get your last point about teens. It would have been totally off the radar I think when I was younger.

Anal sex isn't a new thing though - it's been around forever. I agree that porn has normalised it to a younger set of people however, and it's not something I'd want anyone who is easily pressured to engage in.

Eekaman I know I'm not being open-minded, but I did admit that. I just know I really don't want to, and actually, I think being able to admit that to myself and stick to what I choose is a good thing. Even if it does mean I won't get to try everything.

Also I think this thread shows there is no typical MN response at all, and if there is, what I wrote isn't typical! Far more people have given it a go and quite a few like it and have tips for those who want to.

I don't think that it's particularly close-minded to say: ''OMG my god, that's a no no no.... I haven't tried it.''
It's perfectly acceptable to be clear about your own limits and not entertain things that really don't appeal. Personal preferences don't make someone close-minded. I am very open-minded about sex but there are loads of things that I absolutely will not do! I have no objection to other people enjoying them though (as long as it's all consensual)

I would only say that it is close-minded to say: "OMG my god, that's a no no no.... I haven't tried it, it's disgusting, women only do it to please men, men who do it must be gay, it's wrong, other people shouldn't do it''

Agree with PrimeDirective. It's not close minded to not want to try something that you're unhappy at the thought of. Everyone is allowed to set their own limits.

I agree it might be a bit close minded to judge other people but most people aren't doing that. If other people enjoy it then I'm happy for them, it doesn't mean I need to give it a go.

My intense orgasms come from masturbation, I have several orgasms then. Most enjoyable. I've discussed this with male partners and they have admitted that masturbation gives them a more satisfying orgasm.

What I love about sexual intimacy is being naked with someone who's body is different physically from mine. Thighs, muscle, body length, hair. It's all just so sensual.

Yes, I do enjoy it - but I will admit I enjoyed it the most with a less well-endowed ex. Like others I find my orgasms are much more intense - a breed of their own!

It hurts too much to enjoy it.

No never. As a teen and early twenties didn't even know it happened (born in early 60:'s). Now I just don't fancy it. Same as I just don't fancy a cigarette. Not narrow minded in anyway just not for me.

Used to enjoy it but since having DC have had piles which kind of ruined it!

I love it too. I'm with the others in not doing it too often & taking it carefully. I've never needed lube as I get soaked enough as it is. I also swallow. I love the taste. Sometimes I crave it.

A friend of a friend or perhaps a distant relative said it took her a long time to like it, she claims the trick is to 'keep both places occupied', you know, the lady plays with her bits while the man...err..umm.. y'know, or maybe use a rampant rabbit and it really makes it enjoyable. Won't work for all but she says it worked for her. Allegedly. I wouldn't know of course

It's something I have fantasies about, but don't think I'd act out IRL. Partly as DH isn't keen on trying it and also cuz I had an anal fissure after DC2, surgery to fix it and at times it still gets sore and bleeds (+3 years later).

Interesting to read others views and I must say, I'm heartened to read that my arse is not the only one damaged after childbirth! I thought I was the only one!
