Why do people (mostly girls) find anal sex degrading?

I've asked a couple girls I know and they all couldn't seem to put their fingers on why it is degrading to them. They just seemed to have this innate feeling that it is.

Let's pretend I can't pick up on societal cues and social norms. I don't know why anal sex is inherently degrading. Just telling me I should know doesn't help me out. Explicitly say it. So far, the best reason I've heard is that poop comes from there.

  • The facts:

    YES, some girls do orgasm from anal sex.

    Some girls do enjoy anal sex.

    Anal sex is like having sex with a virgin & a lot of guys like tight-ness.

    It's only wrong because someone decided it was wrong for you.

    If you talk to a doctor, Its not recommended, but its okay.

    Now I myself has never done it completely.

    I mean it went in, but not even for 2 seconds and not the whole thing. Me & a girlfriend experimenting. We were in the shower and she was not in pain.

    Another guy told me, that you need to make sure you are hard if you do it.

    & that's All I remember. He did say it was good.

    I hope that helped.

    Sincerely,

    A Loving Black Man

  • I don't care for it. I don't like the idea of sticking my dick into a hole that holds your waste. I don't care if I'm using a condom. The thought of doing so is such a turn off. The first time is gonna hurt like a bitch for her. I don't think there is any pleasure in it for her. I've never heard of a woman having an orgasm through anal sex. The smell that comes with it when you pull out. There's the possibility of her going number two during anal. It might be a rare occurrence but it's not something I want to deal with. If you take all the right precautions it might be enjoyable.

  • well the degrading part should be self explanatory. and for the life of me I can't figure out why so many men want, think about, and desire this. In my opinion it is Degrading to women and should be to men also. but I suppose its to eaches own. just not my thing. I'm willing to try a lot.and new things is always good. but Ill always have to say No Thank You to this one. beggings not going to get you anywhere just going to piss me off. then I would just soon watch Golmer Pile than to have any kind of sex with you after that. LOL there's a story behind Golmer Pile.my husband didn't speak to me for 3 days. lmaooo . I still find it funny

    • Men who do like it because women don’t. It’s been proven. If they do and you don’t, run for the hills. I work in a hospital and have seen what that kind of sex can do.

  • Wow you have some great opinions there. My ex liked to do it like that and I can count on one hand how many times we did it. He asked a lot for it but I considered it a treat. He didn't deserve it that much because he is an ass. But I don't think it is degrading unless they degrade you for it. Does that make sense? well, I think it gets better with practice and after a while it gets more enjoyable.

    • I haven't tried it yet but am close. I don't think it's degrading at all.....in fact, I think it's VERY intimate, tho a bit taboo. But that makes it even more exciting to try.

    • Coercion should never be tolerated.

  • I think part of it is that the girl feels like you don't want to look at her during sex. How could she not feel like it's degrading? Also, she might think you're gay. That's not a bad thing, but in that situation -- need I say more?

  • Probably because it IS degrading! A person needs to call a thing what it really is. What do you find NOT degrading about it? I mean, do guys expect girls to love doing that?

  • It’s degrading because you expect me to bend over and put myself in pain while you get off at my expense. It’s degrading because it’s very likely you’ve just denied me an orgasm while you pleasure yourself. It’s degrading because you’d rather stick your dick in something I shit out of than my vagina, which you should cherish and there should be no substitute for. It’s degrading because you coerce and pressure it. It’s degrading because you think my vagina is too loose for your pleasure when I take exceptional care of it and keep it tight for your pleasure.

  • i think anal sex is just gross.

    but I wouldn't know

    but either way, It IS where your poop comes out from ):

    im sure there are other pleasurable alternatives?

  • Society has made us all feel that having anal sex is wrong. Over the years we just have these subconscious thoughts that we aren't sure where they came from, but in fact they came from our surroundings.

    Also, poo comes out the ass.it is kind of gross. I've heard of girls pooing all over guys when they put it in. That is definitely.yeah.

    • Yeah that was my idea!!! Though the media and environment is the main factor. And besides, once you know a societal cue, you can always be more careful what you say or do.
