Why do men want anal sex more than women?

Just an observation I’ve made.

Usually when I see a poll question surrounding anal sex more men than women seem to vote in favor of it.

Why would that be?
Female / I like anal
Vote A
Female / I dislike or am not interested in anal
Vote B
Male / I like anal
Vote C
Male / I dislike or am not interested in anal
Vote D
Neutral / asexual / results
Vote E

  • It had to do with the entry in society of the idea of sexual "goalposts." Thus, especially amongst youth, everything becomes a race to see who can get away with what, leading to stupid dares. This leads to peer pressure that can linger in someone for years and years. Every notch you haven't achieved at least once, is a badge you haven't earned, is a lack of a badge you have to defend to the braggarts who want to flaunt their imaginary badges.

    Some men simply get tired of having to defend themselves from this nonsense on a constant basis. So the first girl that will allow him to earn another badge and get the monkeys to leave him alone for a little while, seems worth it - even if the request is disgusting, dangerous, and awkward. Anything to earn a badge. Anything to use that badge to earn the most precious prize of all: a little peace and quiet.

    And as for others, those who start this insane badge system? They see it as such, just because they know the biology of it. And there's that "forbidden fruit" appeal. Of course, once you go for the forbidden fruit, you have to convince someone else to do it too. Otherwise, you are among the few who have. And that makes you a freak. So instead, twist things, turn the tables, make the virgin guy the "freak." Corrupt others, to defend your own actions.

    This lunacy has been going on since the Tower of Babel at least, and shows no signs of going away.

  • To be a little bit crass, men like anal because it is another hole, it feels nice and tight, gives a different angle to be with your woman.

    Women are less keen because it means having a penis stuck in their bum! This can be uncomfortable, especially if done badly, but also if the lady just doesn't particularly enjoy the sensation. For some women it is just not what they want. My SO allows it now and then, she didn't used to enjoy it much but over time she has begun to allow herself to a bit more. I doubt it will ever be her favourite thing though!

  • I have enjoyed anal sex in the past with my previous boyfriend, but when I've tried with my current boyfriend it's been uncomfortable/painful. Might be due to penis size difference? I'm not sure. We've tried many times and it doesn't feel good anymore.

    Guys are more into it than women because they don't have to deal with any of the prep, they don't have to be embarrassed that they might accidentally poop themselves or fart or smell bad, etc., they don't have to put tons of trust in their partner to not hurt them, and generally speaker, men are likely to get more pleasure from it than women (yes, some women absolutely love it, but for even more women, its either "okay" or painful).

  • Historically, men have generally been the ones to become more vocal about wanting newer, different sex acts. Plus, a lot don't know how the anus and vagina really differ and thinks it's like just going through a different door, and do not know how much different you have to treat the butt than the vagina. Often, they don't have any sense of what kind of work goes into it, or the pain and damage that can be caused from being rough.

    • So right! Done correctly, is is good. Done by a guy with no idea how to do it, it will be so painful, it will put a girl off for life.

    • @juicyjessie And since they only see it in porn, they have no idea what goes into it. My general recommendation to pushy anal guys is "you first!" - and somehow they immediately and instinctively know it would hurt like hell.

  • Because they watch porn and they got that idea from porn. They were told and sold a lie and force that idea on women. Women, though plenty dabble in porn, are less likely to do something that they know they wouldn't do. And many men are 2x as more likely to do porn than women. Either way, it's sick. There are so many germs and harmful bacteria that comes out your backside. It's so degenerate.

  • It's just not that great for the girl, not terrible either but I easily would rather have regular sex :)

  • The main reason:

    Why do men want anal sex more than women?
  • I think a lot of guys get off from seeing a women in pain. I honestly think that’s the real reason

    • thats... disconcerting

    • Funny pun

    • I only tried once. I was fascinated by the idea and imagined it to be awesome. I love female asses. but I was really concerned about hurting my girlfriend so I never mentioned it. she did it one day but never since and I dont miss it. I think most guys like it because it has something indecent to it. some guys might also like to cause pain, but I and I hope most other men dont.

    • Show All
  • I know, it's so disgusting. The instant a guy even mentions that i'm done.

    • Ok, prove it. I want anal sex. Block me and show me you're telling the truth. 😎

  • They tend to get more pleasure out of it than we do, thats why lol.

  • Men are fucking assholes!

  • I would rather have regular sex but sometimes you want to switch things up a little.

  • I want to cum in someone and not worry about pregnancy

  • Speaking for the male population - its tighter so it feels better

  • Believe it or not its a gender thing because the reason why men wants it more than women is because men have more Anal pleasure advantages then women meaning we men can achieve natural pleasure (more stimulation) as an Anal Giver only, plus it increases the man's sex drive bringing more pleasure then Vagina (Although Vaginal penetration will always be number one with most men) and Reciever (For Men who allows women to pegged or use dildo on them which is very small percentage). Women are not natural givers (They could never feel what we men feel as a giver, even if they use a toy, they're only satisfying the man anyway) because there body's were designed to receive (no offense to Women).

  • Cuz they're not the ones getting fucked in the ass. Duh! :)

  • We don't have things getting shoved up our butts in anal, we do the shoving. It's naturally better for us.

  • theyre undercover gaylords

  • Many men do get off seeing woman in pain tolerating it for them.

    Plus it's tight so will feel good.

    But most never used to want it. Blame internet/porn everywhere for programming people to every crazy/weird/sick practise.

    It is disgusting, as disgusting as shit.

    • Plus the tight feels good. That's exactly it. All these other answers pussyfooting around the subject.

  • I probably would not have done anal yet if it were not for my first girlfriend who wanted to do it to stay a virgin. I was still a virgin so I had anal sex before vagina. My next girlfriend liked regular sex but did not want to try anal. I like them both

  • Because asshole is more tighter than vagina.

  • Because 0% chance she'll get pregnant if you cum in her ass.

  • It's tight

  • It's just one of many things they like we don't

  • Cause we have this strange desire to stick our dicks in any hole we come across and the taboo nature of anal makes us wanna do it that much more
