Yes, another anal thread, here we go...

The internet is full of advice on How To Do Butt-Sex Properly - I'm sure anyone here with any interest in either giving or receiving has read plenty of it - and they all say more or less the same things: cleanliness/hygiene, lots of lube, start with a finger, go slow, listen to your partner. All of which is great advice, of course. But there's a lot of emphasis on 'getting her in the mood'. In my experience, if the woman/receiver (I'm straight, but I guess for gay guys it's probably the same) isn't in the mood to start with, or at least potentially in the mood, it's just not going to happen. Or she'll grudgingly let you, it will hurt because she's not properly relaxed, and then she'll be in a bad mood with you afterwards and you'll feel like a jerk.

When she's really in the mood, on the other hand, after a couple of minutes of very slow, gentle probing I can go really deep and fuck her almost as if it were a second pussy, and with some clitoral stimulation too she comes quicker and harder than she does even from normal sex. Sometimes we get there together but often she comes before me, and I have to slow right down and very gently get myself the 'last few yards' while she's panting in a blissed-out heap. And she says it never hurts when it's like this, either during or after - although I think a big part of this is the Adam & Eve anal lube with lidocaine we use now (forever in Batwoman's debt for letting me in on that stuff!).

So really, I've found the receiver's mood and level of horniness before you even start is actually more important than the foreplay, lube etc. Obviously those things are vital too, but with all the patience and Astroglide in the world, if she doesn't actively want to be ass-fucked in the first place, it's a fool's errand. You might be able to talk her into it, but it's likely to be uncomfortable for her and she'll go off the idea completely for a while.

I'm trying to stick to only doing it when my girlfriend suggests it, which she does fairly often (every few weeks I guess, I count myself pretty lucky in that respect, amongst many others). Because I know I have no willpower, I've told her that the next time I suggest it out of the blue, then unless she happens to be in the mood coincidentally she's to give me a slap and tell me to damn well wait till she's ready. :) (It's not like we don't have plenty of amazing non-butt-related sex; for one thing, both of us are pretty oral-obsessed too, which is great.)

Just thought I'd throw this out there because so many threads about anal focus so much on the mechanical side of things - the right sort of lube, whether to work up to penetration using toys, what's the maximum girth you can use for anal, etc. - whereas the receiver's mood, before you even start, is the most important thing. Guys, if you can hold back from suggesting it to your partner and wait till she mentions it, I think you've got a much better chance of her enjoying it and wanting to do it again and again.

you really have to have the craving for it and relax and breath deeply. you can use all the lube in the world and it will slip in so quick and hurt like hell because you are so tense! i enjoyed it once because i wanted it and i was relaxed

Wow. Never heard of lube with lidocaine in it before. Doesn't that affect your penis too? Anal for me...is just a matter of listening to my body - I know if I'm ready or not and will go from there. Relaxation and mental craving are definetly key for me. With all that I usually enjoy it. If my husband asks for it, he knows its never a guarantee, but chances are usually high.

It's just slightly numbing to the receiver, so she can relax more easily and take it without it hurting. I've never noticed any numbing effect on my dick. In fact it doesn't reduce the pleasurable sensations for either of us at all, it's just useful for helping to overcome that initial resistance. It's magic stuff, I'd recommend it to anyone who likes anal or - even more importantly - doesn't like anal but wants to like it, or who likes the idea but finds it too much of a struggle.

Well, for what it's worth, from a gay man's perspective, it's similar. It's all about being in the mood, but for me foreplay is an important part, it would feel wrong just to jump to it. You've got to relax and breath, and there is no pain after a couple of times. The first is uncomfortable, but it quickly gets better. One important note for first timers, the colon goes about 8" before the bend, so if you've got more than that, it'll take some time before you can just jam it in there, even if you're warmed up. You don't want to explain that injury to a doctor. All in all, it is something I would recommend anyone try at least once, it is common even among straight men to have their partner use a toy. Anal play isn't just for women and gay men, anyone can enjoy it.

Its definetly not for everyone (giver or reciever). Your wife begs for it? Its too bad you don't really care for it. Many would consider you a lucky guy!

I said she rarely begs for it like maybe once or twice a year? When we are being intimate and she asks I have no problem doing it but then I have to go clean up before I can go back into her vagina and oral is out after anal so it kinda messes up everything else. It has to be the final act in the play or not at all IMHO.

Oh for sure, I didn't mean to downplay the foreplay! I was just saying that even this is not enough by itself if the mood isn't there in the first place.

One important note for first timers, the colon goes about 8" before the bend, so if you've got more than that, it'll take some time before you can just jam it in there, even if you're warmed up.

Isn't this something that varies from person to person though, just as some women have deeper vaginas than others? Interesting you should say 8" actually, the deepest I ever got this way with my girlfriend left me with about an inch out in the cold, and I'm 9"BP. I guess she was just SUPER relaxed that evening. I wasn't moving in and out, I just slid very slowly into her over the course of a couple of minutes, while kissing her the whole time, until I was almost all the way in. Neither of us came but it was amazingly erotic.

That is exactly right, 8" is the average, some may be more or less, but usually not by much. Some, with proper training, can make it past that bend, but that is more of a fetish type of thing, most won't find it necessary. There are websites that can tell you how, usually ones centered around fisting, but many are satisfied with normal play. The only side affect of more advanced anal play is the possibility of larger bowel movements, but is otherwise has no appreciable affect. Unless, of course, this is taken to extremes. However, normal anal intercourse carries none of these risks, as long as you take it slow and always remember to lubricate properly. The vagina lubricates itself fine for most, but for anal, you have to apply your own, otherwise you risk tearing. Some like to recommend a numbing lubricant, but I would be careful of that, since pain is the most useful indicator and you wouldn't want to mask it.

I have never had anal sex. And would be a dream come true if it were to ever happen. Every girl has given me a flat out "NO, 'that' is not going in my butt". Even my girlfriend has for years promised me anal one day when she is in the mood...and yet to fulfill my desire.

At least she said she will do it with me wearing a condom. But then she quickly changed her mind saying that she has never had me wear one and wouldn't start just for anal. Which, I think, means no anal.

2009Vette, you are a lucky man indeed!!!

To be fair you're probably a lot thicker than me. If you were around 5" maybe she would be more willing like Mrs H&D.

A few cocktails doesn't help your chance putting your cock in her tail??? ;) Maybe one day she'll come around.

You hit the nail on the head with that one. She said she would be open to it when she is a little loosened with alcohol. The many times she has been tipsy and said she is going to have it with me...well, she begs and literally demands that I go in her vagina. Not that I am complaining about being in her pussy by any means. At these times especially, she said she the only place for my cum is in her pussy.

I don't want to be a part pooper or anything, but I just don't understand how some people are so eager to have anal? Doesn't it smell? And I see so much about "flicking assholes" on here. How do you possibly put up with the taste? Granted I've never tried any of it, but it doesn't seem like much fun to me.
