What
is the History of Anal Sex?
Sexual
stimulation of the anus and rectal area, including penile penetration, has
been taking place for many centuries.
Research
reveals that it is a common practice among heterosexual couples today, as
part of their sexual routine. According to more recent figures based on
100,000 females:
- 43% of the women had tried it with their partners at least once
- 40
percent of those women enjoyed the act
- 49%
did not like it
- the
rest had no strong feelings either way or the other (Redbook Magazine)
Not
all homosexuals have anal sex. Studies show 59-95% of male homosexuals had
engaged in anal sex at least one time (The Kinsey Institute).

Why
would anyone want to have anal sex?
For
many people anal sex is repulsive, however some people love anal sex and
find it a satisfactory sexual act, especially in gay male relationships.
In the 1990's, anal sex has become more risky because HIV, the virus that causes AIDS,
is most easily transmitted by anal intercourse.

What
is analingus?
A
part of the body that some people enjoy licking, or having licked, is the
anus. The anus is full of nerve endings in the pelvic region and many people
find touching it to be sexually arousing. Performing analingus can be very
risky as the anus and rectum carry diseases that can live quite harmlessly
in your lower digestive tract, but which can be harmful in your mouth or
stomach producing a variety of bacterial infections.

Does
anal sex hurt?
Anal
sex should not hurt if you do it correctly. With enough lubricant and enough
patience, it is possible to enjoy anal sex as a safe and fulfilling part
of your sex life. Some people may never like it, and their wishes should
be respected, so do not force the issue with them.

How
do you get pleasure from anal sex?
The physical sensations available during anal sex are uniquely different.
The rectum is lined with nerve endings some of which feel 'good' when stimulated.
The prostate gland can be a source of powerful pleasure and the ring of
the anus can be a new and strong sensation to enjoy for a thrusting penis.

What
do I need to have anal sex?
To
take part in anal sex you need:
- condoms
- lubricants*
- patience
*KY
Jelly, a greaseless, odorless substance is the most common lubricant and
is available at most drug stores. Other better lubricants include Astroglide,
ID, Wet, or Foreplay, most of which are available at adult sex shops.
Do not use lubricants that are oil-based, such as Vaseline or baby oil,
as they will destroy a condom long before you have finished having sex.
Many oil-based lubricants will coat the lining of the rectum, providing
a haven for many potential infections. Make absolutely sure the lubricant
you buy is rated 'condom compatible', nothing else will do.

Why
use a condom?
Always
wear a condom. A condom on a finger inserted into the anus can aid lubrication
as well as protect against scratches from fingernails and rough skin that
could lead to infection. Even if both you and your partner are disease-free,
you should still use a condom, as the rectum is home to lots of infectious
bacteria that can cause burning and urethritis of the penis.

Is
anal sex messy?
Anal
sex should not be messy. A condom will help with cleanup. If you prefer
an enema will help beforehand. You should always wash thoroughly before
and after anal sex. If you use a vibrator for penetration, make sure that
this is washed thoroughly too, in hot soapy water with a splash of antiseptic
added.

What
happens physically with anal sex?
The anus is a tight ring of flesh at the opening of the rectum making initial
penetration the most difficult part of anal sex designed to control the
elimination of bodily waste. The anus works partially by voluntary control
and partially by reflex action to stimulation.
Your
partner has to be able to relax to coax the anus into opening enough to
receive the penis. It is important to go slow during this whole procedure.
- Start
with a well-lubricated finger.
- Your
fingers can flex and feel what they're doing inside the anus.
- Slide
one finger in slowly, letting your partner adjust to it. Take your finger
all the way out, then push it back in again.
- Give
your partner's anus time to get used to this kind of activity, then
slide a second finger in. Two fingers is probably enough but you have
to take into consideration how big your penis is.
Is
it possible to get pregnant from anal sex?
It
is not technically possible to get pregnant from anal sex as there is no
way for the semen to get from the rectal tract to the vaginal tract.
Anal
sex is still not a very good method of birth
control as semen leaking from the anus after intercourse may drip across
the perineum (the short stretch of skin separating vulva and anus) and cause
what is known as a 'splash' conception. 8% of couples of who use anal sex
as a method of birth control have pregnancies each year.

What
if I do not like it?
Anal
sex is not for everybody and you may find that it is not for you. You do
not have to indulge in something that does not make you feel good.

What
about AIDS?
Unprotected anal intercourse is the single most risky behavior in regards
to AIDS.
If neither you nor your partner are infected
with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), you cannot
get AIDS from anal sex. Almost half of American adults
questioned in a nationwide sex survey (The Kinsey Institute) thought you
could get AIDS from anal intercourse, whether or not
one partner was infected, but this is not true.
The
true facts are that anal intercourse with an infected partner, without using
a condom, is the kind of sex behavior most likely to transmit AIDS.
The sensitive lining of the rectum usually tears during anal intercourse,
causing AIDS-infected blood or semen to pass directly into a sex partner's
bloodstream.
Evidence
supporting AIDS transmission from anal intercourse
is so clear that doctors now recommend against having anal sex at all under
any circumstances.
If
you insist on doing so, please take two precautions:
- The
vagina is moistened by its own natural lubricants and is naturally elastic,
but the rectum is not. It is important to use a waterbased lubricant
like KY Jelly before attempting anal penetration.
- For
heterosexuals, it is very important to wash the penis thoroughly before
entering the vagina after anal intercourse. Bacteria from the rectum
is easily transferred to the vagina which may cause vaginal infections.
