If porn and dirty jokes are to be believed, straight anal sex exists for one reason: to make a man feel good. So what did the study reveal?
But why, you might be asking, should we care? Is this what I pay my taxes for?! And we admit, this could be seen as a somewhat frivolous study — but actually, it has the power to affect our lives much more directly than less-taboo research. We have terms like rim job or fisting , the study points out — or, if you prefer, anilingus and brachioproctic eroticism — but until now, no name for some of the most common pleasurable anal experiences for women.
And even if there were such terms, we might not know about them, since the authors note that almost all anal sex information is concerned with the potential risks or stigma associated with penile penetration, and the various ways women might dislike or be coerced into it. Thank you! We have emailed you a PDF version of the article you requested. Can't find the email?
