Anal sex

anal sex. My husband & I recently started practicing this. We practice it 3-4 times a wk. We truly enjoy it. We have reg. sex every day. Yes, I know we truly enjoy ourselves. We have been married for 7 years so there are no other partners. My question is this...I have heard that having sex this way you lose control of your bowel movements. Is this true? I do practice kegels will that help any?

I don't have any experience in anal, but here is an article I found that I think answers your question.

Of all sexual acts, anal sex is the most misunderstood. Despite the fact that one out of every four women has engaged in anal sex, the practice remains taboo. Many women are reluctant to experiment with anal sex because of the many myths and misconceptions that surround the practice.

But once you learn the right techniques, it's easy to see why anal sex can be so enjoyable. The anus contains a vast supply of nerves, and is one of our most sensitive erogenous zones. Stroking, massaging, and otherwise stimulating the anus can be intensely pleasurable. In fact, some women are able to org**m from anal stimulation alone. Here you'll find answers to the most common concerns about anal pleasures:

1. The anus is dirty.
Early in our childhood, we are taught that the anus is dirty and should not be touched. Thorough hand washing after accidentally touching this area is stressed. You may also have heard similar sentiments voiced about your vulva and vagina, but of course stimulation of these body parts can certainly provide a multitude of pleasurable sensations.

With routine daily hygiene, the anus is as clean as other parts of your body. It does contain its own natural bacteria, though, and to avoid infections, you must never move anything from your anus to your vagina.

2. Anal sex is painful.
Anal sex should not be painful. If it hurts, you are doing something wrong. If you learn the proper techniques prior to experimenting, you may find it enjoyable.

The keys to pleasurable anal sex are relaxation, lubrication and education. The anus is a tube that is one and a half inches long and surrounded by two rings of muscle. One ring, the external sphincter, is under your control. The other, the internal sphincter, will automatically tighten whenever something is pushed into your anus. Relaxing the external sphincter will make anal sex easier and more pleasurable. Your anus does not produce its own natural lubrication, so use lots of water-based lubricants to further increase your pleasure.

3. Anal sex is harmful and unhealthy.
Many women fear that anal sex will cause hemorrhoids, fissures or tears. Some even fear that they may become incontinent and spend the rest of their lives in adult diapers. Pleasurable anal sex does not cause harm to your anus or rectum. And as long as your partner does not have a sexually transmitted infection, neither semen nor sperm are harmful to your rectum.

If you are not sure about the sexually transmitted disease status of your partner, use a lubricated latex or polyurethane condom during anal sex. Avoid condoms with spermicides -- they may cause irritation of the sensitive anal and rectal tissues.

4. Anal sex is a perverted, unnatural act.
Anal sex has been an accepted sexual practice for centuries. In some cultures, women engage in anal sex with their male partners for sexual pleasure while protecting their virginity. You must decide for yourself what feels natural. If you are uncomfortable with any sexual act, don't do it! You are in charge of what you do sexually.

5. Anal sex is enjoyed only by homosexuals.
Long considered a purely homosexual act, anal sex is enjoyed by many heterosexual couples as well. Anal sex is simply another option for sexual gratification and is unrelated to your sexual identity.

Know your anatomy.
To better understand anal sex, you need to understand the anatomy of your anus and rectum. With a mirror, and a good light source, take a look at your anus. As you spread your buttocks, you will notice the opening to your anus. Though it appears small and tight, it is capable of stretching enough to accommodate a finger, toy or any size pen*s. You will notice that the skin surrounding your anus is dark and wrinkled, and contains hair, sweat and oil-secreting glands. The tube-like anus contains numerous nerves and is exquisitely sensitive to touch and stretching. At the top of the anus is the rectum. The five-inch rectum is not straight, but makes several turns. And because the tissue of the rectum is delicate, sharp objects or unusual force can easily damage it. Though not as sensitive as the anus, some women enjoy the feeling of rectal "fullness" that is created during anal sex play.

My wife and I have been having anal sex for about 14 years. For about the last ten years we've had anal sex about five times a week. In the last six months, we've only had anal and oral sex. Many of these sessions are extended anal poundings that can last an hour or more. My wife is as tight as the first time I took her ass.

So, enjoy yourselves! It's good to hear there are other couples out there that love anal sex as much as we do.

I havent had it and I surely wont but yes it is pretty bad and yes you will lose control of your bowel movements ..because mainly its used to something cumin out not cumin in .. hope I helped!

Ummm... no. I have a friend who is a p*rn star, and her bowels are fine. she shoots sex every day, and its real. I ve been there once, so I know. the only thing that could ruin you bowels is a sex machine. a sex machine is a clog, with a pen*s shaped rubber thing on it and it moves in and out of any hole. you can crank up the speed really fast (faster than actual humans can go), but it feels exactly like having real sex.

wo I guess we are not the only couple that have anal sex some tines we do it in public places for example stair wells ill wear a mini skirt with out underpants so he can just go up my skirt I feels sooo sooo good

anal sex is fun but you have to know what you are doing.
