Anal sex-why is there such a negative stigma?

Question

I completely understand that there are dangers to it, but why is everyone so against it. I've been with my boyfriend for 3+ years and we have anal sex regularly, actually more often than vaginal. I just want to know why everyone is so against it and gives it such a bad name.

Answer

You probably should not be doing it more often than you have vaginal sex or anywhere near as much. Your vagina is made to have things put in it. Your anus is not. Anatomically, that is an exit only. That's not to say that you can't enjoy it every now and again, but doing it often is very dangerous. It is easy to get tears in anal walls which can get infected, your partner can get infections from exposure to your feces, your anus can prolapse (AKA the wonderful "pink sock"), etc. That is why there is such a negative stigma. It's simply just not good for your body. However, I see no problem with enjoying sex how you like it! Just as long as your health remains intact, you do what pleases you.

Answer

I don't have a stigma, it just hurts and I don't like the feeling. I don't think negatively of those that do like it. It's just not for me. I do however do occasionally just because my fiancé likes it. if I say no he thankfully doesn't get upset because he knows it hurts me, and that is the only reason he gets to occasionally. Lol

Answer

People give it a bad name because they dont like it or find it "dirty". Honestly, people need to realize that their sex life isn't going to be like everyones and they're going to have to get over. I do anal every once in awhile, but I would do it more if I had the appropriate lube because my man loves it. Honestly I wouldn't even worry about what other people think. Just keep doing you!

Answer

People aren't taught how to do it properly so they continue to do it wrong which creates more and more people claiming it's painful.  (and for some it is, if it doesn't work for you that's fine...)

also there was a stigma created during the aids outbreak in the 80s homosexuality and anal was blamed... And people were afraid of it.  I heard once that before that a poll was taken and 90% of women said they had tried anal and 60% had it regularly (and enjoyed it)  apparently now that number is now around 40%  of women who have tried it......

Answer

Also people dont think aviut the long term effects. If done incorrectly is can cause a lot of issues in older age in regards to the muscles loosening and not being able to hold feces in.
My mums a nurse and has seen a lot of it
