The Benefits & Dangers Of Anal Sex

Learn the dangers of anal sex, as well as the benefits of it.  There are some very valid reasons why you should and shouldn't do anal.  This comprehensive list will help you to decide if anal penetration is right for you.

So why would anyone want to have anal sex?  For one thing, the anus is a highly erotic area, with tons of nerve endings.  These nerve endings, when stimulated the right way, can cause very pleasureable feelings. 

Another reason to have anal sex (at least for gay men) is because of anatomy.  There is no vagina to have regular vaginal sex with, so the standard is anal sex. 

Men also tend to like it because of the very tight feeling of an anus hugging their penis.  Such a tight squeeze on their penis produces a wonderful feeling, that they just can't experience with a vagina.

Some people also seem to be into the idea of anal sex, simply because it's "taboo".  Who doesn't like to be naughty once in a while?  This seems to be an off-limit subject because you never hear about it in movies, TV, or music... yet talk of regular sex is everywhere.  It can make a person feel really sexy if they're comfortable with it. 

On the other hand, there are many reasons why people don't want to have anal sex.  The main one being PAIN!  The anus was designed as a one-way tunnel.  Nothing is really supposed to go up there.  However, with time and experience the pain factor will subside, and the receiving partner will get used to it.

Another reason not to do it, is because of the dangers of anal sex.  Protecting yourself is vital.  Click here for important safety tips - a must read!

This area is filled with bacteria that you do not want to be spread around.  This is one of the main dangers of anal sex.  If engaging in anal, do it safely.

Some people might also find it disgusting.  They don't find the area sexy at all, because their bowels come out of there.  They may have issues with running into feces, the look or the smell. 

You may be reading this article because your husband wants to have anal sex and you don't, or because you want it, but your wife doesn't.  Hopefully, by reading this article you can understand the other person's point of view, and understand why they feel the way they do. 

That doesn't neccessarily mean you should have anal sex to please your man because it's tight.   Or that you shouldn't do it because you think it's only for gay men.  Anal penetration can be a very exciting, pleasureable, and intimate act between two people who care about each other, but only if both partners agree that they really want it.

Communicating openly with your partner is the key.  If one partner has a problem with anal that they just can't get over, don't push the issue anymore.  Respect your partner's feelings, even if it means you'll never get to experience anal sex.  If worse comes to worse, you can always buy a sex toy that feels just like it.  You might find that it feels even better than real anal, and doesn't come with any of the discomfort or danger that real anuses do.
