As an avid anal aficionado, there is a lot to love here. So much of it resonates with my experiences. Many claps!
Personally I almost always only engage in it with partners who specifically request it. But what I do do (I did *not* just say "do do"😂) is encourage a partner to imagine it by stimulating the wonderfully sensitive erogenous zone of the anus. Even for partners who have no interest in penetration, this is still very erotic in my experience. And don’t get me started on the joys of massaging/spanking/biting buttocks.
Anyway, I digress. Wonderful article E.L.!
