Anal


Anal sex (or anal intercourse) commonly refers to the sex act involving insertion of the penis into the anus of a sex partner. The term can also include other sexual acts involving the anus, including pegging, anal–oral sex, fingering, and object insertion.

Common misconception describes anal sex as practiced almost exclusively by gay men. This misconception is dispelled by researchers, as not all gay males engage in anal sex, and anal sex is not uncommon among heterosexual relationships. Types of anal sex can also be performed as part of lesbian lovemaking. Many people find anal sex pleasurable, and some may reach orgasm—through stimulation of the prostate in men, and clitoral and G-Spot leg stimulation in women. However, many people find it painful as well; in some cases extremely so, which may be due to psychological factors in some cases.

As with most forms of sexual interaction, individuals are at risk for contracting sexually transmitted diseases, and thus safe sex practices are advised. Anal sex is considered a high-risk sexual practice, and unprotected anal sex is the riskiest of all forms of sexual intercourse, due to the vulnerability of the rectum and sphincter tissues. It is also controversial in many religious traditions, often due to prohibitions against homosexuality and/or to teachings about the procreative purpose of sex. However, as attitudes toward sexuality have changed in recent years, many religious groups, especially in Euroamerican Judaism and Christianity, have become more accepting of non-procreative sex, including male homosexuality.
