How anal sex could serve as a backdoor pathway to greater intimacy in your relationship.
Anal sex was once one of those exploratory affairs men tried to persuade the missus into with a long night of pleading and a lot of luck. After all, ass play just wasn’t just going to happen miraculously on, say, the run-of-the-mill Tuesday night after two helpings of meatloaf and some doom-scrolling in front of the television. Many a man has even quipped that entering through the exit only was like setting out to find a unicorn, that it’s never going to happen, and that they’d have better luck winning the lottery than getting her to assent to let him beat her colon into submission. “[My wife] let me touch the outside of it once, so we’re making progress,” jokes Mark, 37, in a conversation with HUSTLERMagazine.com. “I think 2027 is our year.”

Oh, yes; a growing school of thought suggests that anal sex, long banished to the shadows of tuchus-centric taboo, might be a backdoor to deeper intimacy. It’s no longer just some slutty act of lasciviousness prized by desperate men without the salesmanship to seal the deal—”Come on, pleeeeeeease!”—but rather, an act that fosters vulnerability and emotional connection that standard-issue vaginal sex sometimes fails to achieve. No, this isn’t some man-spawned propaganda campaign designed to get more women to assume the position. Even the sex experts say so, no butts about it.
