My guy wants to have anal sex?

Q: My guy wants to have anal sex, but that's one act I'm clueless about. Is it safe?

A: The prospect of exploring this somewhat "forbidden" area can be extremely erotic, explains Keesling, which is another reason why anal sex is becoming more popular. Not to mention the fact that the anus is loaded with nerve endings and can be a pleasure center for both men and women. If the idea excites you, it's fine to explore. But there are a few key things you should be aware of. Unlike the vagina, the anus isn't self-lubricating or elastic. To enjoy the act, you need to take it slowly, having him insert just a little bit at a time. And be sure to use lots of water-based lube.
