Anal Sex: Top 6 Most Common Misconceptions
Usually ignored and swept under the rug, anal sex is still one of the most taboo
topics. Holding a bad reputation for being filthy, unhygienic, and even
immoral, people today are still reluctant to discuss it. However, it’s
time to forget those horror stories and embrace the truth! So, if you
want to experiment yet have always been afraid to ask those questions,
take this opportunity to get to the bottom of it. Here are six of the
most common misconceptions about anal sex.
Number Six: Anal Sex Really Hurts
One popular myth about anal is how extremely painful it is. Think
about it – if anal sex was so traumatic no one would be doing it all.
Remember that you have a choice, and millions of people tick that yes
box every day. The main thing to remember is to relax; the more relaxed
you feel the more pleasurable it will be. Start small, use plenty of
lube and remember communication is key!
Number Five: It’s A Gay Thing
With comments such as “if a man likes anal sex does that
make him gay?” doing the rounds it is important to break these
stereotypes. Yes, there are plenty of men who like to slip it in the
backdoor, but they might also like to have their girlfriends return the
favor. In no way, shape, or form does it insinuate you are gay. At the
end of the day, whatever your sexual orientation, it is about what you
find pleasurable, not which gender you prefer.
Number Four: It’s Gross
Another fictitious folk tale is how dirty and unhygienic it can
be; however, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, your
feces isn’t even stored there at all and is hiding elsewhere to be
released when you see fit. There may be traces of fecal matter, but if
you are hygienic and partial to a good cleansing then everything should
be squeaky clean.
Number Three: You’ll Get AIDS
Again contributing to the “only gay men have anal sex” misconception,
it also has the attached stigma of being unsafe. Firstly, whatever the
case it is important to practice safe sex wherever you put it. Condoms
are vital and with the use of lube, it can help prevent rips and tears.
Secondly, while the anus is more susceptible to spreading sexually
transmitted diseases, as long as you are responsible and mature
everything will be OK!
Number Two: You Can’t Get Pregnant
As mentioned above, it is extremely important to always practice safe
sex, not only to protect yourself from sexually transmitted infections
but also to protect yourself from unwanted pregnancies. A common myth
often surrounding anal sex is the theory that it won’t get you pregnant.
However, surprise! The human body is a marvelous thing and one slip, so
to speak, could mean trouble. Yes, people can get carried away in the
midst of a passionate roll in the hay, so remember, always protect
yourself.
Number One: You Will Become Loose
No matter how many times you poke the pink it will not become loose
or baggy. The anus is actually a muscle, therefore, like any other
muscle, the more and more exercise it gets, the stronger it becomes. So
don’t worry, you won’t suddenly lose control of you nether regions and
you won’t instantly start soiling yourself either. Thanks for reading!
