I've said it before, and I'll say it again...I love anal sex. I love vaginal sex more, but I wouldn't want to go without anal on a regular basis. No way.
(Of course right now, I am going without sex on a regular basis, unless you count sex with myself, in which case I have a fabulous sex life, and enjoy about 10-15 orgasms a week with an incredibly talented lover)...:tongue:
Anyway. I love wine almost as much as I love sex. So, as an analogy, I'd say that I have some favorite varietals of wine, but the bottom line is that really good wine is...really good wine.
To me, both vaginal and anal sex are really, really good. :wink: Trying to say one is better than the other is, to me, kind of like arguing about whether a good Viognier is better than a good Pinot Noir. It depends what you're having with it, and what kind of mood you're in. :biggrin1:
Of course, with me, there is the aspect that I get off on being naughty. That may be part of the reason that having my ass fucked turns me on tremendously. However, as I've said before, I believe some of us have nerve endings in the anus and/or rectum that directly contribute to orgasm. I tend to come powerfully and quickly with anal stimulation.

Now on to the not quite so interesting parts...
To guys who are concerned about hygiene issues, you have several options. IMO, the best is just to wear a freakin' condom!!! No fuss no muss...
Second option is to have the recipient of anal sex use an anal douche beforehand...I would do this if it helped a partner to feel more comfortable.
Third option is to do both.
But the other helpful thing to know is that the natural state of the rectum is...empty. It is not normal for it to contain any significant amount of feces.
