Human sexuality is a very complex, fluid concept that we continuously find new and fascinating things about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until recently, most of the world\u2019s population<\/a> – especially deeply religious and conservative countries – believe that sex is solely between a man and a woman or wife (depending on who you ask), but countless studies have shown otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sexual intercourse can occur between a man and woman, man and man, woman and woman, and even between several people. The possibilities are endless, as long as there is consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anal sex<\/a> or anal play is a sexual activity where the penis is used to penetrate the anus. While it is thought to be a widespread activity among gay men, many heterosexual couples practice it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many variations of anal sex, and they usually involve the use of sex toys<\/a> such as dildos and strap-ons, even the use of your fingers, a.k.a fingering<\/a>. Anal sex<\/a> has and remains a controversial topic in popular culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the younger generation is open to discussing and even trying it, the older generation sees it as a taboo even though some are having it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been described as \u201cunnatural,\u201d \u201cagainst the order of nature,\u201d and other negative connotations; although, this could be attributed to homophobia<\/a> as homosexuals are the primary practitioners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many perks to anal sex<\/a>. The orgasm factor, especially for men, is said to be out of this world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the male equivalent of the g-spot \u2013 the prostate gland \u2013 is located in the anus, it makes sense that men may want to explore that area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, let\u2019s not forget that there is no risk of pregnancy unless your uterus, ovaries, or fallopian tube<\/a> is in your rectum, and that is impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, anal sex<\/a> has consequences if not done correctly. Studies have shown that men who have sex with men have the highest risk of contracting HIV, gonorrhea, HPV<\/a>, hepatitis, and various sexually transmitted diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The anus, unlike the vagina, is not a self-lubricating system. The use of little or no lube<\/a> can lead to anal tears and fissures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is advised that condoms and lots of lube should reduce the risk of STDs and avoid anal tears.<\/p>\n\n\n
