Additional Thoughts on Sodomy

Although, in the world (or worlds?) of pornography and erotica, it is politically incorrect, perhaps, to suggest that the body, whether male or female, is not built for anal intercourse, the fact is that anyone who has participated in this act (especially on the receiving end) or who has enjoyed watching a couple, gay or straight, indulge in it knows the truth: the body, whether male or female, is not built for anal intercourse. That's one of the things that makes anal intercourse sexy to watch, and, indeed, to perform.

For reasons known only to Him, God has seen fit to equip the anus with a rich supply of nerves, and the aperture is, by comparison even to a virgin's vagina, whether it has been stretched or not, both small and tight. However, unlike the cunt, the asshole does not lubricate itself. Without preliminary lubrication from an outside source, the anus is unlikely to accommodate an erection of any thickness, no matter how stiff the stiffy might be, and, even if the asshole could manage to do so, both penetration and fucking would be uncomfortable, even painful, for the penetrated party. Despite the rich supply of nerves around the butt hole, it seems pretty clear that the anus is intended not for fucking

Why, then, do people, both gay and straight, engage in anal intercourse? The asshole may be a fine and private place, but, even inside a female's ass, no ovum and sperm therein embrace, since the rectum lacks the egg-producing and nurturing capabilities that the vagina boasts. Pregnancy isn't possible, so, obviously, even heterosexual butt fucking doesn't, and cannot, have a reproductive purpose.

The reason that couples indulge in anal intercourse is, it appears, both simple and complex. The simple reason? It's fun. Precisely why it is fun is a bit more difficult to explain. I've already mentioned the rich supply of nerves with which the anal region is supplied, so the fact that, with proper preparation (generous lubrication and preliminary stretching by digital or dildo penetration, prior to penile penetration and maybe even a few seconds of foreplay), anal intercourse can be physically pleasurable for both parties. However, there is also a pleasurable sadomasochistic, or emotional component of the experience.
