The Politics of Anal Sex

Some people just don’t like that I sometimes enjoy it

I think there is no more judged consensual sexual act than anal sex. Some people love it and a lot of people don’t. No problem — people should do what they want to in the bedroom, but I’ve never come across another sexual activity that stirs up so much polarization and outcry. Even erotic choking and other kinds of BDSM activities don’t seem to be nearly as controversial, perhaps because it’s easier for many people to consider them fringe things that are unlikely to crop up in their own sex lives.

Anal, however, is becoming more mainstream, even for straight men, which is perhaps why it seems that so many now have a strong opinion about it. Love it or hate it, there seems to be little middle ground. But why is anal sex so polarizing and controversial?

A while back I wrote a story about double penetration. It’s something that I’d been trying to experience for about 5 years (it’s not as easy as it looks) and my husband and I had finally started playing with a man who knew enough about it to get it to work, so I wrote about that experience. It’s been one of my most-read stories. I really enjoyed the feeling of being filled and found the entire experience a complete turn on in the mental sense as well. I also made it very clear that this was something I was doing…
