Anal beads are a sex toy that consists of several small balls attached together in series which are inserted through the anus into the rectum and then removed with varying speeds depending on the effect desired. Those who use anal beads enjoy the pleasurable feeling they receive as the ball passes through the narrow sphincter of the anus. Anal beads were no doubt used in antiquity, but in modern versions they are most often made of semi-rigid plastic and end with a ring. The purpose of this ring is to prevent the sex toy from becoming fully lodged in the rectum as we ...

Historically, several cultures, such as medieval Japan and others are known to have been normative practitioners of male-male anal intercourse, often in the context of a mentor-student relationship between an adolescent male and an adult man (see pederasty). Many argue that the males who participated in such relationships cannot properly be called homosexual, arguing that in classical cultures such distinctions did not exist, and since partic ...

Barebacking as a practice became increasingly common again among MSMs in the mid-1990s. This has been popularly attributed to the introduction of protease inhibitors and other drugs for treating HIV infections, which changed the nature of HIV infection in first-world nations from a untreatable terminal illness to a treatable chronic malady. Another reason cited for the rise in barebacking is the decreasing effectiveness of health education messages in the gay community that promote condom use (see condom fatigue). A third reason cited by some epidemiologists for ...

The main medical usages of enemas are: As a laxative. The patient expels feces along with the enema in the toilet after administration. Enemas may be used to relieve constipation and fecal impaction, although in many medical settings their use has been largely replaced by oral laxatives and laxative suppositories. Laxative enemas may consist of water, which works primarily as a mechanical laxative; sodium phosphate solution, which draws additional water from the bloodstream into the colon and increases the effectiveness of the e ...

The epistle of Jude in the New Testament, however, echos the Genesis narrative and recalls mainly the sexually immoral aspects of Sodom's sins: "...just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire" (v. 7, ESV). The phrase rendered "unnatural desire" is literally translated "strange flesh," but it is not entirely clear what it refers to. The ESV translators supply one plausible paraphrase in making th ...

Ass to mouth became something of a fad around 2003 or 2004 in American pornographic videos. Various explanations have been given for this trend, but one reason predominates in feminist literature. Ass to mouth generally occurs in videos targeted to heterosexual men in which men dominate women, at least to a certain extent. Thus, ass to mouth is a practice through which a man (or men) degrade a woman (or women) by requiring her to taste her own fecal matter, generally on a man's penis. This act both gives the man physical ...

Dr. Bruce Woodling developed the "anal wink test" which he alleged was an indisputable diagnostic indicator that a child had been sodomised. In a clinical setting, he would spread a child’s buttocks and touch the rectum with a cotton swab. If the anus "winked", Woodling testified, this was "proof of sodomy". His testimony was prominent in the McMartin preschool child abuse case — the largest and costliest court case in United States history. It has since been established that Woodling never made any effort to va ...

Unprotected sex, including anal sex, is an effective means of transmitting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). According to health-care professionals, condoms should always be used for anal intercourse, but they should not be considered an absolute safeguard. In principle, anal sex with anyone known to have a sexually transmissible disease, and indeed with anyone whose disease status has not been determined, should be avoided. HIV testing, however, can be unreliable; it is possible for someone who is tested to receive a "false negative". This advice applies to all sexual ...

Anal masturbation can be pleasurable for men and women of any sexual preference, as the anus contains many sensitive nerve endings. For men, anal masturbation can be especially pleasurable because it often stimulates the prostate, which also contains sensitive nerve endings. Indeed, some butt plugs for men are specifically shaped for prostate stimulation. For women, insertion of an object into the anus can indirectly stimulate the vagina. Since the muscles of the anus contract during orgasm, the presence of an object holding the sphincter open can strengthen the sensation of the contractions ...

Edward O. Laumann's The Social Organization of Sexuality: Sexual Practices in the United States found that about 20% of heterosexuals have engaged in anal sex, and sex researcher Alfred Kinsey found that number to be closer to 40%. More recently, a researcher from the University of British Columbia (quoted in the May 5, 2005 issue of The Georgia Straight) puts the number of heterosexual ...

The term "sodomy" is imprecise, but is often used as a synonym for anal sex, particularly in older works. However, it often also refers to various other sexual activities. For instance, depending upon the jurisdiction, the legal definition of sodomy may include any non-coitus act, including oral sex and zoophilia. Anal sex has been taboo in many Western countries since the Middle Ages, when heretical movements were sometimes slandered by rumours that their members practiced anal sex among themselves. At that time the mainstream Christ ...

In modern times in Western cultures, anal sex is popularly associated with gay men, and studies (Lauman, for example) claim that about 80% of gay men in the United States have engaged in anal sex. Not all gay/bi men regularly engage in anal sex or find it pleasurable, however. It may be that some gay/bi men try anal sex once or a few times and then rarely if ever engage in the practice, and others may never try it at all. Some may reserve it only for committed relationships. Since data on gay (or bi) sexual behavior tends to arouse such con ...

In those countries where the word "barebacking" is used, condom use amongst straight people has dramatically increased during the last 20 years as groups respond to health messages about HIV/AIDS prevention. In some groups, the use of a condom has become the norm, and the use of the word "bareback" has gained utility as a way to describe sex without a condom, especially between anonymous or casual partners. Anonymous or casual heterosexual sex without a condom has not created the moral panic that gay barebacking has. This can be attri ...
