Probing the female anus

Anal intercourse is a highly efficient mode of HIV transmission. Nevertheless, there is evidence to suggest that anal intercourse is also widely practiced by women in the US 1 — 4. Given that anal intercourse is associated with higher rates of heterosexual HIV transmission than vaginal intercourse 10 — 13 , women who engage in unprotected anal intercourse with sexual partners of unknown or seropositive status may be at greater risk for acquiring HIV than women who do not practice anal intercourse or who use protection while doing so. Additionally, Halperin 1 found that women who engaged in anal intercourse were less likely to use condoms during anal intercourse than during vaginal intercourse. Most studies of heterosexual HIV transmission fail to distinguish between vaginal and anal intercourse in their assessments of coital acts, thus continuing to overlook anal intercourse as a potential source of HIV transmission.

It doesn't hurt. But it does feel like an alien is probing your butthole. If there is a crazy, sharp pain, something is very wrong. It's more like someone is sticking a Wiffle ball bat where it should not be, and you suddenly feel like you need to poop. Sex acts themselves are never degrading — it's the reasons behind them that make them so. If you like anal sex, there's no reason to be ashamed of it.

The Hamilton County sheriff's deputies said they pulled over a car for tinted windows Wednesday, only to smell marijuana inside. Deputies Bobby Brewer and Daniel Wilkey said the man in the passenger seat admitted to smoking a joint earlier but when they searched him, they found "a small bag of marijuana" in his pocket which they placed on the hood of the car. The deputies claim the man, James Myron Mitchell, became "combative" which in police terminology, can mean anything from questioning an arrest to becoming combative but usually just means they were the ones that became combative. In this case, the police definition of combative is to squeeze and grab a man's crotch repeatedly until he flinches in pain and protests, which is when they take him down and beat him off camera for four minutes.

Sometimes you have a sex question that's not just, you know, an idle passing thought. In America today, it's all about anal. It's not just a highly sought-after porn genre, though—more and more Americans are giving it the old college try IRL, too. As anal has increased in popularity, curiosity and concern about the potential long-term effects of being on the receiving end of it—or, as some call it, "bottoming"—have also spiked. I've seen this firsthand in my work as a sex educator, where questions on this topic have been on an upward trend, both in my classes and in my email inbox.
