My new boyfriend is obsessed with anal. He has been single for 12 years and cannot orgasm through vaginal intercourse, only through masturbation - which he does at least every day. I'm thinking he wants anal because it might add an extra bit of excitement and push him to orgasm. I have been trying to get used to anal but it hurts and it's very messy!! How do I say thanks but no thanks without hurting his feelings ?

Have you used extra lube?
If you've tried everything, and you're just not into anal, the best way to tell him, is to just tell him. Explain that you've given it a try, and that it's just not for you, so you're finished putting effort into that. Then offer some other new things to try that may be enjoyable for you both.

It shouldn't be the sort of thing to hurt his feelings. After all, it's nothing personal, right? You just don't enjoy it. Everyone has preferences, and things they like less.

Thank you ! Great reply ???? Yes, its not personal I'm overthinking it !

It's understandable. Just have a conversation openly and discuss ways that you both can be satisfied. Approaching it from a place of genuinely making an effort to please him, and yourself, should bring a positive outcome and avoid tension or hurt.

I'm guessing he wants anal because it's a great deal tighter than most vaginas and he has gotten so accustomed to the tightness of his own hand that he cannot achieve the right friction through regular intercourse. This leaves me a bit concerned about your fella.

While there is nothing wrong with anal sex, I am concerned that he knows he cannot achieve orgasm through vaginal intercourse yet he doesn't seem to be trying to do anything to fix that. Masturbating every day (if that is what has caused his inability to achieve orgasm through intercourse) isn't helping anything. Why doesn't he try giving that up for a while and working to establish a meaningful sexual relationship with you?

Instead, it sounds like he is trying to make everything work to suit him without much regard for your needs.

Anal sex is not for everyone. Some women love it. Other women find it incredibly painful and only do it on rare occasion just to "please their man". Some women will not do it at all. I don't ever advocate for a woman (or anyone) doing something that physically causes her pain just to please someone else.

If he is not willing to work toward a healthy sexual relationship with you, I would strongly consider rethinking giving him the boyfriend title.

Ashlee T. good point

Ashlee T. This looks like a great topic for an article! Many women have worries about having anal sex, just to please their guy. And, also how to talk about sexual preferences, how to say no in a nice way and communicate about sex are all important topics many women worry about.

All men who push for anal sex should experience something going up them

I have never understood anal sex. It doesn't appeal to me in the least. I have never asked a sexual partner to engage in such an act and wouldn't do it even if she asked for it. Sorry but it just isn't how we are designed or plumbed as human beings. That and it seems like it would be pretty disgusting given the true function or purpose of the anus. Its vaginal all the way for me.

I agree. I've never had desire to engage in anal sex.

My g/f has had a lot of anal sex experience. It sounded as though it was a birth control strategy. She used to be assertive about taking my anal sex virginity. She hasn't been on that topic for a while. I thin she might've given up on her quest to get my anal sex virginity.

I had assumed she did anal sex because her boyfriends wanted it. That was partly correct. She told me that if done correctly, she enjoyed it.

When she found out I was an anal sex virgin, she explained the process of anal sex to me. It sounded like a lot of work. Her boyfriends had to carefully, slowly, and cautiously prepare her butt prior to package delivery. That involved inserting a lubricated finger and then another until her butt was relaxed enough to accept package delivery. It was messy due to lots of lubricant, and she had to shower with boyfriends after to scrub their packages prior to vaginal sex.

My g/f does love an anal plug inside of her butt while I'm working her clit to orgasm with my tongue. She does have explosive orgasms with an anal plug inserted.
