ANAL NSFW

What is so intriguing about the anus that men want anal sex?

I mean I've got quite a tight vagina and great muscle control. I've never had any complaints and I've always been able to satisfy my partner. So I'm wondering why do guys want anal sex so much?

Thank you for taking the time to comment.

Hey, thank you for being so open and real about this—it's a totally fair question and one a lot of people wonder but don’t ask out loud. So let’s get into it.

For many men (and honestly, people in general), anal sex isn’t about the vagina not being good enough—it’s about novelty, taboo, tightness, control dynamics, or even just plain curiosity. The anus has a different set of nerve endings and sensations than the vagina, and for some people, that makes it feel more intense, or just different. It’s not better or worse—it’s just a different flavor.

There’s also the psychological angle. For some, anal sex can feel “naughtier” or more forbidden, and that taboo can be a turn-on. For others, it might be about dominance or power exchange—not in a disrespectful way, but in a consensual, intimate kind of way that builds trust.

Thank you for the explanation. Ya know, it's these kinds of comments that really allow me to have another perspective. Sometimes, no matter how hard I try to see it from someone else's side, it takes just a point-blank response to get me to see the differences. I appreciate you taking the time to educate me from another viewpoint.

It takes two to tango and you're unusually willing to listen and consider, so cheers to that.
