Learned to absolutely LOVE IT
LOVE IT. My boyfriend tried to talk me into it before I was on birth control, because he hated condoms and refused to use spermicide. The first... 10 times... It hurt like hell, made me feel used, raped and strangely turned on. He'd look into my eyes and say "I'm so sorry, I don't want to hurt you" but when I made him stop he'd get upset with me.
after the tenth or so time, I started to actually enjoy it. I never got much out of vaginal sex, it was nice, but it never felt amazing. Anal, once I got used to it, is absolutely amazing. But it takes time to get used to, and you can never "dive right in". It takes a good amount of fingering to loosen her up, and I'm sure some guys are thinking "I'd put my d*ck in there but I'm not putting my hands in there!" it is sooo worth it, if you can get over the "ewwwie" factor.
I was always nervous that there would be a mess, but we just keep a towel nearby, and my boyfriend understands that shit happens... Hehe, Sorry, couldn't resist...he always gives me a few minutes of privacy to "get myself ready", and it's a good idea for you to finger yourself to make sure youre clean, so you aren't spending the entire time worrying about it instead of enjoying the best sex you'll ever have. Also, my boyfriend and I have an agreement- if he ever makes fun of me for a mess during anal sex, he won't get to do it again.
Now, sadly, I'm on birth control, and he wants to go back to vagnial sex. It doesn't feel the same for me, so we compromised. He gets a few minutes of frontal sex, while I wait impatiently for him to finish in my ass. He has turned me into an anal whore!
I wouldn't recommend anal sex with a stranger. It takes more time and tenderness than vaginal sex. And, its more "personal" than vaginal sex, and even with the man i love it makes me feel dirty and whorish (not that im complaining!) but it would be a bad feeling with a stranger. Its hard to have an anal "quickie", but if you do it often enough you won't need to loosen up every time. Start out with lots of lube, but as you get more experienced I found it feels better with less- you can can actually feel -him- rather than a bunch of wet squishiness.
