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.

I prefer it to PIV and it definitely isn't a 'cool wife' thing - I find it incredibly awkward sometimes to bring up with one night stands/new partners as some people just aren't into it.

I've always found it significantly less painful (usually totally pain free even on entry) than PIV in fact.

It isn't just for men with no pleasure for women. It's the pornification that has created this impression. Just like most men don't want to be penetrated anally even though they have their 'g-spot' up there.

If you want to try it, go for it. Lube and clitoral stimulation will definitely help your first time.

To go back to the swallowing thing. What do you do if you don't swallow? Just spit it out?

I don't have anyone spunk in my mouth. I stop before getting to that point.

It doesn't go in my mouth. I don't mind it going on my breasts, stomach or what ever. But spunk in face and mouth is off limits.

Swallowing is definitely easier, if you can tolerate it. I actually relish it now, because of who I'm with. My beloved received more blow jobs from me in the first few months I'd known him than I'd given in the 25+ years that I'd been sexually active beforehand

For us, spunk outwith orifices is for high days and holidays imwith

I love this thread, btw

A quick Google points to a survey that said over 40% of women indulged in anal, the same 40% also reported highly satisfactory sex lives.

It's a 'high days and holidays' type thing for us. I never instigate it, it is always led by Mrs Eek and it's been a highly pleasurable part of our lives for over 25 years.

It isn't just for men with no pleasure for women. It's the pornification that has created this impression.

cigars - I think you're spot on there.

I quite like fingers and my small butt plug, but there's no way 6 inch girth DH is going up there. Ouch.

Lol at high days and holidays!

Yes - another vote for flying with brown wings for all the reasons and with the caveats already given.

It's a 'high days and holidays' thing for us, either of us will initiate, sometimes the other says yes, sometimes no as we both need to be in the mood for it. Strictly no spunk allowed up there though.

Demeted - we're adventurous sexually but I have a strong reaction to the taste of it so I either finish by hand or use it as foreplay before piv. I don't like it in my mouth. On the ( very rare) occasions I deep throat and swallow but I'm still anxious in anticipation!

It's not for me we've tried a few times. We do enjoy anal play though with toys and plugs, DH enjoys receiving though.

Male, enjoy both giving and receiving (from female partners and with toys, to be precise).

3/5 of my partners have enjoyed, but that might be because I prioritise sexual compatibility.

Until my last LTR I would have said "Tried it but didn't really like it so don't bother". My last fella was pretty keen and I was GGG about trying again. Massive difference and I ended up preferring it to PIV as less painful (I've got some small vaginal tears.) Preparation, patience and lube are the keys definitely, as well as clit stimulation throughout. And the giving partner need to be aware they need to move differently to PIV, not bang away like they think they're trying to ring a doorbell in your bowel.

I love it. Not always though. I go through stages of wanting it three times a week and then prefer PIV only for a few weeks. It feels completely different (obviously), as someone else said above it can make you cry in a good way because it's so intense.

Years ago (before I had even heard of it) my ex (who I think was a lot more into porn than I had realised) used to try slipping out the front door and in through the back door - no lube or anything - do you think he imagined I wouldn't notice?

I used to scream and jump out of bed!

Like having a shit backwards.

I like it. Don't do it very often and need to be very aroused already. Agree with PPs about the intensity.

ive tried it and I dont like it. hurts.

and after 3 kids my fanny is like a bucket. dont want a buckety arse too.

It's great. And I have a male partner who loved it when I did him with a buttplug. Fantastic.

DP and I discussed anal the first night we met! We agreed it wasn't for us.
We've tried just about everything else though :)

I'm another 'no', or at least not until the devil is ice-staking to work (Red Dwarf fan).

Have had piles, so no on those grounds. Also had intestinal polyps which can cause explosive, liquid, burning uncontrollable shits. On both those grounds would be stressed if DH even thought about it.

Have just asked DH how he feels about it - his view 'not at the moment, thanks' - he's juggling money on the pc.

In the (very distant) past he's described it like an SN2 reaction mechanism - attack from the back by a nucleophile - so don't think he's either a taker or a giver tbh.

I always said i would never do it then dh said a few times that he wanted to so i decided to surprise him a got some butt pkugs. I discovered that i do enjoy it occasionally with the right lube and play before hand.

I dont swallow but we do do lots of other things with a variety of toys.

I have heard from a very reliable source of a woman who had a relationship with an ex boybander who needed anal surgery due to his penchant for vigorous anal.

Can't say more for fear of being outed.

So it's a no from me.
