It seems some guy is always talking about how much he likes anal. I guess as a woman I don’t really see the appeal of this type of sex. Most men I know would never get anal, so why are they so willing to give it? Did they ever stop to think what anal really feels like? Why do guys like anal so much anyway?

With the rise of pornography all over the internet and easy access to a variety of sexual positions, anal sex has gained more attention than usual. To make matter worse, more men are constantly talking about how much they like anal sex, even though they have never really experienced it for themselves.

There are a lot of reasons that anal sex is so appealing to males. Men like to experiment. Even if they won’t ever admit it, the dirtier the sex and the more things that they can try, the more manly they feel. The anus is also tight and smooth so it provides for a whole new sexual experience. What most men don’t realize is that there is some pain that goes along with anal, especially if they are inexperienced in performing the act. Most men think that anal is just as easy as vaginal sex, without realizing that anal requires a lot more lubrication for it to be comfortable. While it’s admirable that men want to try new things, experimenting with anal sex should be taken slowly so that both participants are comfortable.

Why do guys like anal? Guess they are much more into trying new things when having sex. But you know, it’s not only guys, girls these days would like to do experiments in bedrooms as well ;)

I can tell you from personal experience that anal sex is not something to be taken lightly. I have never been with a man who isn’t interested in performing anal sex even if he has never had an experience. Experience is usually key to comfortable anal sex. Too many men want to just start having anal without thinking about how different it is actually going to be from vaginal sex. Your anus isn’t self lubricating like your vagina, so when penetrated unless it is properly lubed, it can be a painful experience.

I think that why do guys like anal sex is because they like the idea more than they would actually like the act of performing anal, especially when they realize how much work needs to go into prepping for anal. Men love to experiment with new things, especially in the bedroom. Make sure that you are both comfortable and consenting about anal sex and make sure to stay relaxed the entire time. Men like anal because the anus is naturally tighter than the vagina. If guys realize that they can penetrate something tight with their penis, they are usually all for the experience no matter how strange it may be.

Personally, I think if a man can have anal sex with a woman, that means he’s totally the dominant during the sex, he controls the whole process of sex. That’s kinda a power, and guys are obsessed with power, which makes them feel more manly.
