What is anal sex?

Can someone define 'anal sex' please?

I've never had a penis inside me back there, but I've certainly had my bottom played with and penetrated and returned the favor. Just wondering others' opinions.

Condensed fom WIKI:

"Anal sex or anal intercourse principally means the insertion and thrusting of the erect penis into a person's anus, or anus and rectum, for sexual pleasure. Other forms of anal sex include anal fingering, the use of sex toys, anilingus, and pegging. "

I agree with the broader scope - that anal sex includes more activities than just penile insertion (anal intercourse). At least in my and BA's world, any backdoor play between us was Anal Sex.

You’ve definitely enjoyed Ana sex!

I think most people tend to think of anal sex as penetration of the anus with a penis @GraceT , but in actual fact, any sexual exploration of the anus/rectum whether it be by penile insertion, or any other toy, finger, tongue, etc, or even just playing with the anus externally, I think is a form of anal sex.

I guess it all come down to interpretation.

I hope if and when you do decide honour someone with the pleasure of indulging in anal sex. i.e. sexual penetration of your no doubt very delightful bottom. I hope they do it with lots of patience and lube, so that you fully enjoy the experience. Maybe even telling us about it someday, even it it is just to say you tried it and enjoyed it.
