The Bottom Line on Anal Sex

It's taboo, it's deviant, it's outside the norm - we're talking anal sex. But it's also a type of sex that many couples do enjoy, regardless of their sexual orientation. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in early 2012 that more heterosexual men and women - 44 percent and 36 percent, respectively - had had anal sex than originally assumed. There are nerve endings in the anus that can make anal play or anal sex pleasurable for both men and women. The shared wall between the prostate in men and vaginal wall for women can give participants pleasure. Biologically speaking, it seems strange to insert something into an orifice that's considered an exit only, but that taboo seems to be part of the appeal for participants. If you and your partner want to give it a try, the key is to take it very, very slow. The supplies you'll need are lots of lubrication - no petroleum jelly - condoms, and perhaps a towel.
