    ok so im sure this has probably been answered before sos lol

    anyway so my bf and i tried anal (i received) and we loosened enough to get him in,but it just didnt feel good. Infact i found it a complete turn off lol. What im wondering is-is this something to do with the first time? Will it start to feel good after a few goes,or do some people just never enjoy it? Might it be that this will just be something i will never enjoy? Hope not lol!!!!

    any thoughts or advice are welcome xxx

    Well, some people go their whole lives not liking to bottom, and in fact, finding it horrible, in some cases. But it could be because you were so tight and your ass wasn't used to being stretched yet, even with the lube. It MAY get better, but it may not, it depends on the person. I hope this helps.

    It's not something that everybody likes. However, I (personally) kinda think everyone could like it if they let themselves (and if it were being done right).

    The thing is... well... first off, lots of people who are doing the fucking are what I would call "selfish tops." That is, they view the other person's butt as a way to get themselves off and completely don't care if the other person is enjoying it or not. So unless the receptive partner happens to get off on being used as an object, people getting fucked in that situation are not going to find it really fun or enjoyable.

    Second, getting penetrated in our culture (okay, my Western European/Canada/US shared culture, but also in many others) is about the worst kinda... I don't know, I could get into all these sociological terms, but basically to be fucked is to be made into a woman in a lot of people's subconscious and sometimes conscious views, so I think a lot of guys aren't into getting fucked because essentially it's an assault on their masculinity. I personally happen to think this is bogus but just because I don't agree with it doesn't mean it's not a factor for a lot of people. So there is a lot of kinda bad mojo around the notion of a guy getting it up the ass--feelings of disempowerment, being conquered, being controlled, being vanquished, basically failing as a guy... yeah, so unless someone happens to have a kind of degradation fetish, then if they really buy into the whole notion that men are the fuckers and women are the fuckees, it can really be unpleasant for their self-concept of themselves as guys. Which again does not make for enjoying receptive anal sex.

    Thirdly, physically we are taught to respond to feelings in that area (the bum/anus/butt/whatever you wanna call it) as a need to defecate, and shitting is considered extremely unclean, and so anal sex is associated with filth and not with pleasure (although of course anyone can attest to the fact that sometimes taking a huge dump really feels good--think about it!). So there is a substantial ick factor that is engaged when people are getting fucked and because the person getting fucked is not getting his dick directly stimulated, there is less obvious pleasurable sensation to overcome any societally-induced feelings of grossness for shoving something up someone's ass (which on the surface most people think about and go, "eww gross!").

    Fourth, kinda because of all this, guys who are getting fucked for the first few times are not really thinking about how cool it is that some hot guy who you presumably are hot for and really like is actually inside them! They're more focused on the pain and discomfort, and of course that makes anal sex seem very unfun, and kinda leads into a vicious cycle.

    So the moral of the story is: get your partner to make sure they are focusing on your enjoyment as well as their own (i.e. they should be playing with you, touching you, and not just working to get themselves off). Understand that being a "real man" is not about what sexual activities you engage in. Explore that part of your body on your own and figure out what you like and what you don't, and what works and what doesn't. USE LOTS OF LUBE. Ensure lots of foreplay. Relax relax relax. Go as slow as you need to: it should be based on your timeframe, not his. Think about how cool it is that you're pleasuring your guy. Get him to find your prostate gland and make sure he is working to hit it.

    More than anything, enjoying anal sex requires having an open mind, I think. You have to nearly consciously work at letting yourself enjoy it because there's a lot of societal crap trying to get us to avoid it at all costs. And it is definitely something that will improve with practice (if you let it). Many if not most people describe their first times as relatively painful (I am one of the very lucky ones that way because my first time trying was totally awesome even though everyone had told me, "Oh the first time is always painful") but when they get the hang of it, they find they quite enjoy it. :slight_smile:

    Joey's hit all the important points. If you'd like to keep trying it, to see if you can get to a point where you really enjoy it, he's got plenty of suggestions to try. But if you decide it's more trouble than it's worth, then just don't bottom anymore. Get each other off in other ways. :slight_smile:

    Very . . . uh, explicit, there! Anyway, I'm one of the people who doesn't define anal as a domination/submission practice outside of rape. I find it more of a practice for you and your partner to enjoy, rather than worry about who's the top or bottom. That's just my view. Being pleasured down there has no status on your masculinity. In my opinion, you shouldn't be worried about your masculinity, especially with your mate. As long as you and your partner enjoy it (and practice it carefully) it's more of a fun practice. Maybe its one of my fetishes, dunno.:lol:

    One other good point is that it can be quite different with different people. That is, anal sex can work between you and person A but not between you and person B, so it can be worth trying a few times with everyone you end up with.

    From a girl's point of view who has had anal sex:

    The first time is the worst. After that..it does get less painful and more enjoyable (as long as you are the kind of person who can enjoy having anal sex). My advice, go SLOW, and use A LOT of lubrication. After foreplay make sure he puts the lube INSIDE of you, not just on him...it really does help, plus prepares you for his entering you. I hope that helped you some...if not, sorry...but try again and be safe!

    I think a lot of people find the first time painful because they've never even done it by themselves. Maybe if you work at it alone first and go at your own pace then it can be more enjoyable the first time with a partner. That's all I have to offer.

    Yes - it gets better. There are other threads out there on the topic. Look for them. Lex recently gave a step by step... it was pretty thorough and is worth reading.

    As for Joeyconnick:

    I totally agree!!! I think EVERY guy would like anal if he ALLOWED himself to like it. But straight guys are just too sissy to do it! :grin:

    The times they are a changing. Anal and gay chicken seem to be all the rage with the straight guys these days.

    This is a cross post....

    The important things that joeyconnick said are also true as well.

    I'm also trying to emphasize on the physical aspect for you.

    Play it relaxed, slow steady and safe!!:thumbsup:
