As much as anal sex has always been an exalted prize, the sensation of vaginal sex is just as good if not better. The vaginal walls were designed to stimulate penile skin and the warm velvety softness is sublime.
The snugness of the anal canal is great, but that’s just it; there’s no real texture to the walls, just a smooth elastic cuff. Then it opens up into the rectum which is warm and moist but not tight. I can basically feel the anal ring sliding up and down my shaft as I plunge in and out, and that does feel good along with the different angle of penetration, but the sensation just isn’t the same as vaginal sex.
HOWEVER, anal sex is much more visually and psychologically stimulating.
Visually, i think the anus is much nicer to look at than a vagina (not that a vagina is ugly, a neat and tidy pussy is a beautiful thing). A perfect little clenched orifice just waiting to be penetrated and softened. It looks so hot stretched around a thick shaft, and it is visual representation of the ultimate sexual goal at the deepest part of the crevice. A woman’s hips and buttocks are there to advertise sexual availability, so for me, her anus is the place where I go to literally stake my claim. (You can’t penetrate a pair of tits, no matter how big and soft they are.) How amazing is it to watch a pair of upturned buttocks rippling and bouncing off a thrusting groin??
Psychologically, it just doesn’t get any more intimate than when a person’s ass is being penetrated by someone else. It’s THE MOST private area on the body, and for the penetrator, he or she knows that this is it, the recipient has given up their last and most prized region of their body. They have submitted and surrendered. What an incredible accomplishment for the penetrator!
For the bottom, the thrill of surrendering, of being invaded, of being taken by this person...it’s very fulfilling and satisfying. Like a deep dark void has been filled inside. Still, it feels lewd and wrong, raunchy. My wife (although she doesn’t let me anymore) said it made her feel like a “bad girl”. It’s that whole “right because it’s wrong” thrill.
I personally don’t think that the aforementioned experiences are as intense with vaginal sex, if they even exist at all, although I wouldn’t know about receptive vaginal sex from a woman’s point of view since I’m a man.
