My relationship with my husband is going on 6 years and within the last 4 yrs he has been pushing for Anal Sex. Each time I had tried it; it has hurt not only physically but emotionally. I have asked him to stop. It's to the point when ever we try to make love he brings it up asking if we can try. I feel totally turned off from sex and he feels that I do not understand his needs. Our marriage is going down hill fast because of this one issue. He has tried to threaten me into giving him anal by saying he will find some prostitutes or with holding money to buy groceries. His obsession with it has grown so much that he surfs the web for anal porn. In his past relationships he had never had anal; so I don’t understand why he just can’t give the thought of it up. I has also have a medical condition that with my rectum that he doesn’t take for serious and thinks it’s all in my head. What can I do?

Touchy subject. I had never been willing to try anal before my husband. I had also never been interested in toys before him. Something is just different with my husband, though, and I'm willing to try just about anything with him. I suppose it has a lot to do with with the love I know he feels for me and that I know he would NEVER want to do anything sexually that would hurt me or make me feel demeaned. He's all about pleasing me, and if something doesn't have that potential, he's not into it. Your husband sounds very self-centered. I don't know if you've considered this, but the porn is a big problem, too. He probably wouldn't be so intent on having anal sex if he weren't looking at porn all the time. In my opinion, he shouldn't be looking at porn at all unless it's with you and the content meets your approval. It is not okay for him to waste his sexual energy on images of other women. This act alone is incredibly disrespectful to you. No wonder you don't feel safe trying something new with him. I wouldn't either. I just finished writing an academic paper about internet pornography. Studies have shown that porn has the ability to act on the brain the same way herion or cocaine do. In other words, it can be addictive and, as with drugs, the addicted individual needs more and more and more of it to get his fix until the porn alone isn't enough and he needs to act out what he sees. I would take the porn thing more seriously if I were you. The fact that he now wants to do something to you that would make you feel degraded says it all. Good luck.

When a man is adamant about pursuing something that his beloved partner is against, it can feel as though a potential rape is about to occur. There is definitely something else going on- not just a request for a different position or a new game. 

  

One the flip side, if you are just apprehensive about trying anal sex, or have a stigma attatched to the act, there are some products you can try to go farther with an understanding partner- knowing that porn stars use a lot of products of this nature because that particular area needs a lot of lubrication. The big thing is, if he is willing to take the time to go slowly, and if you are willing to try. Otherwise, its not going to work for you.  The products are Anal Eze and also Anal Lube. Using a lubricated condom can also make it a little easier for you.  If you need more info and don't want to hit the boards, you can email me at  opsarge@earthlink.net     Queenie

My husband tries this same stunt. I have no desire for reg. sex most of the time, so anal is just plain anal... sorry for the pun. It's just ridiculas. I tell him if you want that go find a gay man. He tries guilting me into it just like he does with reg. sex.Mkaes me feel guilty so I give in. But that anal thing only makes me scream, cry, and bleed. Then he yells at me for being a baby. How romantic....

I am really sorry that you were pressured into such a violating act.  I feel any person who would push you to do something that you feel is so wrong has a very serious problem. He is willing to inflict physical and emotional pain on you for his own pleasure.  THAT IS JUST PLAIN WRONG. You need to tell him to get professional help or you will leave (if you are willing to leave) .  And you should seek help yourself no matter what he does.   Under no circumstances should you ever do this again unless it is somethng you want to do, not something you were pressured or manipulated into doing. 

  

ONLY YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR BODY!! 

  

My husband has also asked for this act.  One time a friend lent him an anal porno.  I found it and promptly took it into the driveway and ran over it with the car.  It was a clear message about my feelings on this subject.  Once in a while he still asks and I just tell him to leave me and go find what ever it is he is looking for. Needless to say he is still here.   I have not performed anal sex nor do I ever intend to.  I will not violate myself for someone elses pleasure or satisfaction.
