anal sex

[Bouncer]

my long term girlfriend and i have recently had anal sex.
we thought about and discussed it long and hard (pardon the pun), and decided to give it a go. in the end, we both thoroughly enjoyed it.
i was just wondering, why is it such a taboo subject, and have any of you ever experienced it, and what did you think?

Thanks for sharing that with us, No I haven't tried it and I don't think I would want to.

Each to their own I suppose if we all liked the same things the world would be a dull place.

sorry if i came across as trying to push my views too hard spurslady.
i was just looking for some feedback from the general populace.

Is it still illegal?

It's not common practice because the anal passage does not provide natural lubricant in the same way that the vagina does. The risk of infection from faecal matter is quite high, as is the tearing of the delicate mebranes and veins in the anus.

All that said, people do it, and enjoy it, but be aware of those dangers, and be nice and gentle, and use protection to prevent infections.

Yes it looks like a doddle on adult films, but these people do it for a living, so of course they make it look easy!

Finally, never tried it, no particular opinion one way or the other, but what ever blows your skirts up ....
