Currently viewed as a variable to traditional sex that holds the vagina as the main character, anal sex is becoming ever so popular amongst women. Its popularity stems from curiosity in experiencing new stimuli and a natural urge in satisfying a partner’s lust. Being a long way off from becoming the most popular sex practice amongst females though, despite the growing number of followers.

Many women, mainly adolescents, adopted it as means of avoiding pregnancy and satisfying partners at the same time. Quite often, youngsters who still virgin (hymen still intact), employ anal sex as form to carry o­n sexual relation with their boyfriends, or even keep o­n dating without the risk of pregnancy, sparing virginity until finding prince Charming to take care of it.

The fact that more women are practicing anal sex doesn’t necessary mean that they enjoy it so far. Despite the anus and the perennial region being endowed by a network of nerve endings that can induce pleasure, a woman would hardly ever experience orgasm by anal penetration alone, being clitoral manipulation almost a rule of the thumb when reaching it.

In doing so most women seemingly complain about pain that in turn spurs them to give in, restricting it to o­nly o­ne off awkward experience.

It’s undeniable that the male public is never the less the main interested in it, for it allows them to experience and sense total submission of a woman in addition to their inner-instincts.

Countless are the positions in which anal penetration can be performed in that all care must be taken. As the anus is an orifice with a highly fragile mucous membrane without natural lubrication, for a safe-practice a good water-based lubricant is imperative and so is wearing condoms to curb the risk of cross-infections.

For those willing to indulge, maybe the major drawback is pain, seeing that lax preparation of the sphincter renders penetration awkwardly painful.

The secret lies in the total relaxation of the sphincter. To enter and pushing all in without adequate lubrication causes reflex contraction of the partner’s sphincter resulting in great pain. Someone beginning to enjoy anal sex gets by, gently inserting well-lube fingers (one at time) with ever so-slowly rotating movements to promote dilatation.

Initially, gently insert o­ne finger, after that slowly start rotating. Then you may insert another finger and movements follow. This exercise will leave your sphincter relaxed and ready for action, making room to accommodate a penis of any given girth. Upon entry the penis should be slowly inserted with calm and without either harsh or violent thrusts up until wholly inside.

As it were the anus would get used rendering sufficiently relaxed to allow the old in-out thrusting movements without major concerns but indulgence.

Many considerations can be made in respects to anal sex, being the foremost maybe that such a practice calls for calm, patience and caring, otherwise an act of gratification might turn into sheer torture.
