Anal sex? Yes or no?

Anna • A young (want to be) entrepeneur
My bf and i want to try anal, and I can't say that I'm scared because I'm not, I'm just like in a dilemma.
He is the type of guy that literally likes it hardcore, so i asked a friend of mine about anal, and she said that it kinda hurts at first but also the position matters, and I don't know what i have to do!
