Every guy I’ve dated has requested anal at some point, even to the point of begging. This experience seems to be ubiquitous in heterosexual relationships, begging the question: Why do men love anal sex? Does anal really feel that much better than vaginal sex? What’s the appeal?
Anal sex, though often stigmatized, is a perfectly natural way to engage in sexual activity. People have been having anal sex since the dawn of humanity. Seriously, it’s been documented back to the . So if you’re a little worried about trying it or are having trouble understanding the appeal, just know that it isn’t weird or gross.
Anal sex can feel great, which is why many people include it as a regular part of their sex life. But notes that anal sex can hurt if you’re not relaxed or if you don’t use lube. As we explain below, it’s not something you should jump into without a little preparation. using plenty of lube and starting by inserting smaller things (like a finger) into your anus, then working up to bigger things (like a penis) can lessen the pain. You should also keep an open flow of communication during partnered anal sex so you can tell your partner how fast or slow they should go, if you need more lube, what feels good, and anything else that’s on your mind. Great communication can help you have a more pleasurable experience.
