ANAL INTERCOURSE

This is also called sodomy, after the city of Sodom in the Old Testament, renowned for the depraved ways of its inhabitants.

Anal intercourse is one of the lovemaking methods used by male homosexuals, though contrary to popular belief it represents only a small percentage of male homosexual activity, alongside masturbation, fellatio and interfemural intercourse (introducing the penis between the tops of a partner’s tightly clenched thighs). One reason for this, though not the only one, is that it is can be very painful if haemorrhoids are present. Haemorrhoids are also favorable terrain for the transmission of AIDS.

It is generally thought that sodomy is little practised by heterosexual couples, but statistics show that nearly one couple in two acknowledges having tried out anal intercourse.

A surprising figure, but not as significant as all that; there is a big difference between an isolated experiment and a regular practice.

Both sexes entertain anal intercourse as a sexual fantasy, but there are many obstacles to making it a reality.

There are a number of firmly rooted taboos and moral values which regard it as a particularly shameful and perverse practice.

Sodomy is regarded as a gesture of domination by the man over a woman subjected against her will to his every caprice. The woman’s position on all fours, for better penetration, is itself seen as humiliating. This notion of domination and submission is in fact very superficial and purely psychological. In fact anal intercourse implies the woman’s willingness, or at least her consent. The anal sphincter contracts so strongly that “anal rape” is practically impossible.

Anal penetration is said to be painful, and it is true that the anal region is endowed with a great many sensitive nerve endings. But these do not transmit only painful sensations; they can just as well signal pleasure.

In fact anal penetration is only painful if certain preconditions are not met.

First of all the woman must sincerely want to be sodomized, at least by way of experiment. Secondly she or her partner must accustom her anus to the caresses of a finger or tongue, until she starts to feel agreeable sensations. One must next get the anus used to penetration by a foreign body – a finger or a small anal dildo etc. – since the anal sphincter automatically reacts to the presence of a foreign body by contracting tightly. The woman must learn to relax and loosen the sphincter muscles before penetration (by pushing as if to empty her bowel).

If all the conditions are met, the first experience of anal intercourse should not hurt much, and from then on she should find it more and more agreeable. The pleasurable sensations in fact stem from the nearness of the anus to the vaginal region rather than from the anus itself.

Many couples like to try anal intercourse after the woman has had a vaginal orgasm, as she finds it easier to accept at that stage. The ideal is for the man to hold back from ejaculating during the woman’s orgasm, to withdraw at the moment of ejaculation and smear his sperm between her buttocks and around the anal area to lubricate and facilitate penetration.

During anal intercourse, the woman often likes to stimulate her clitoris or have her partner do so.

Anal intercourse is really only possible in two positions: with the woman on all fours (also sometimes called the “Moslem prayer position”), or the seated position, the woman lowering her anus onto the penis of the man, who is seated or lying on his back.

The first times you try anal intercourse it is important to remember that you must not penetrate as deeply as you can in the vagina. Otherwise you can cause pain or even damage the peritoneum. One must also avoid coming back to the vagina after anal intercourse, as the vaginal flora and the anal flora do not make a good mix.

Cleanliness is important in all sexual intercourse, and doubly so, of course, in anal sex. Some couples give the anal area a little wash beforehand, and some find this gives an erotic thrill in itself.

If anal stimulation of the penis always gives the man an orgasm, a woman very rarely gets an orgasm from anal intercourse, and then only with accompanying stimulation of the clitoris. This is why you should practise anal intercourse only after the woman has had a successful vaginal orgasm.

It should be added that one should not make too much of a habit of anal intercourse, if only because in the long run the anal sphincter may lose muscle tone, with all the disagreeable consequences that entails.
