Ever wonder how it started?

Anal sex I mean. Most guys I’ve been involved with sexually have at least expressed an interest in fucking my ass if not actively tried to. Why? I’ve got a decent pussy. It’s clean, it gets wet, it’s tight enough. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy things poking my ass, but there was also a degree of ‘work’ to get to the point where something as large as a dick felt good.

So who was the first guy to think ‘hmmm, there’s another hole there. It’s dirty and a little smelly but I think I’ll try sticking my dick in it’? OK if you’re a gay male I get it as your options for holes are more limited, but this is a hetero question.

A penis in a vagina is normal. The option of a cock in a female's ass is a conquest!

You might as well ask why people put their tongues in other people's mouths. How in the world did that practice ever start? It's not like historically people's mouths were all that more hygienic.

I think alcohol was involved…..

@Nurse Phillips for me I believe it was that for whatever reason, I developed an anal fetish early in my life. So of course when I started having sex with women, that area was a major interest for me. Getting dirty sometimes happens butt, I know the main function of that little opening so no big deal. That's what soap and water are for. And I will admit the muskiness of that opening can be very sexual. So, that's my answer to you!

Very interesting post, I would have to do some homework on how anal sex started. I’m sure anal play started from people enjoying the feel of something penetrating their ass. Anal sex could date back to biblical times when premarital sex was forbidden. Or it might have been going on way before that time. One might never know where and when it started.

If it’s a soft warm cavity that can firmly hold, and especially repeatedly squeeze an erect penis, it’s going to receive one. It’s such a beautiful natural obvious and inviting portal.

When the waste disposal is located so near the playground- it too is going to receive some frolicking.

I don’t wonder how it started; it’s quite natural.

Anal sex has been used as a form of birth control for centuries. But even before that there is evidence of it in Babylon as early as 2300 B.C.E. “The Babylonians were considered especially hedonistic, and both the Grecians and Babylonians would swing through various partners on a daily basis, regardless of sex. Everyone was bisexual, as sexuality wasn't a huge consideration, thus normalizing anal sex within those communities.”

The concept of being heterosexual or homosexual simply didn’t exist because sexual partners were based on social standing. There were one of two roles a person could be: the penetrated or the penetrator. What role a person had was usually related to age and/or hierarchy within the society. Heterosexual anal was common under that structure.

Then along came Christianity which put the kibosh on most sexual activity other than for procreation – especially demonizing anal sex.

Anal sex is still illegal in 12 states in the US – primarily to deter homosexuality. One theory for heterosexual anal sex becoming more acceptable today is that as we decrease homophobia, we’re seeing an increase in acceptance of heterosexual anal.

Personally – I think anal sex is more intimate than vaginal or oral – and pushes the “taboo” factor a bit.

Sort of an aside perhaps, but I once read about Apache and some of more aggressive SW Indian tribes social practices. Apparently when out on raiding parties or waging war, the younger members of a war party might be used to relieve sexual tensions by the older more dominant members.

I would classify this as a sort of situational anal sex, much as occurs in prisons when no other sexual outlets are available. But in any case, it doesn't take much imagination for a randy person to switch to anal penetration when no possibility exists for vaginal penetration. The practice of anal sex is probably as old as the human race and our far distant predecessors.

Great topic. imagine your a caveman coming back to the cave late one night and you accidentally get into the wrong bearskin. you cuddle up to who you think is your partner and, feeling horny lift up their wrap and lube your cock with a little mouth juice, and push in. I'm sure that cavemen were not big on foreplay and so rough and ready was probably the norm. anyway pounding away, maybe thinking wife's pussy is a bit tighter than normal, when your partner turns round and it is not wifey but one of the single males. he pushes you off and you go to find your own bearskin rug and wife. but now your thinking , hey that actually felt pretty good I think I'll try that with wifey later…..
