Anal Sex Study Is Anal Sex the New Oral Sex
"According to a new study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, one in five women between the ages of 20 and 39 had anal sex in 2010, and 46 percent have tried it at least once, compared with just 33 percent in 1992.
Once thought taboo, anal sex is now more mainstream than ever. So are more women having anal sex these days, or are they just more comfortable admitting that they do?
"Men and women have always enjoyed having anal sex, so we're not sure why there's been a sudden increase," says Debby Herbenick, Ph.D. "But it might have something to do with the Internet, which was in its infancy the last time a survey of this magnitude was conducted." Today, people can anonymously surf the Web for how-to guides, order anal-sex toys online, and access a slew of anal-centric porn sites from the privacy of their own homes."
To some, oral sex isn't sex (including a certain former US President.) And thinking of how in Japan they censor the penis and vagina in porn, but not the anus (presumedly since it isn't a sex organ per se') I can see the arguement that anal sex isn't sex (and thus, in Japan at least, not anything needing to be censored.) Here in the US, I know to some in the purity movement oral and anal sex doesn't compromise your virginity either. Though to that I'd argue ask your future spouse if you're having oral and anal sex with people prior to marriage kept you a virgin. I'm thinking not.
