The anus — how it works and what function it actually performs
Not everyone has it, but not everyone decides to study it in more detail. In every sense of the word. In this article you will learn how the anus works and why I don”t like anal sex (or you can too).

What is the anus and how does it work?
The anus is the end of the gastrointestinal tract. It is also called the anal canal.
The length of the anal canal is about 4 cm. This tube connects the anus to the rectum, and all this together helps you not to go to relieve yourself as soon as you feel the need.
In other words, this crevice — the anus, the anal canal — is where the feces, when it comes time to leave your body, are there until you allow them to do so.
The anal canal is surrounded by the annular muscle, also called the anal sphincter. The anal sphincter consists of external and internal parts. You can relax the external by force of will, but the internal relaxes reflexively, you do not control it consciously.
The anal canal is lined with mucous membrane, a thin layer of moist tissue. It contains glands that produce mucus. Mucus helps fecal matter pass out of the body easily. In the anal area (external sphincter), the tissue changes from moist to dry and resembles the skin of the rest of the body.
The skin of the abdominal area is located around the anus. It is made up of flat cells and is similar to the skin of any other part of the body.
What about bowel movements?
Food moves through the digestive tract. Finally, a certain amount of feces accumulates at the end of the rectum. The moist membrane is covered with numerous nerve endings that are necessary for the intestines to sense when they need to empty their bowels.
Then, through these nerve endings, your body sends a signal to your brain: you need to defecate! In response, your brain sends a signal that you want to go to the toilet. When you are on the toilet, you sit down and relax the external sphincter, and the brain sends signals to the nerve endings in the anus — the internal sphincter relaxes, and feces leaves the body.
So why can anal sex feel good?
Yes, that”s why. Due to the function of the anus, it contains many nerve endings — they let the brain know that it is time to defecate.
And since the sphincter is actually a muscle (plus the reproductive organs are nearby), a large amount of blood, anal transit, the sphincter and anus are penetrated by a dense network of blood vessels, so these nerve endings are also penetrated. The ending can be felt very sharply and more strongly than in other places where the skin is tender and sensitive.
Therefore, stimulation by erotic touch, tongue, fingers, adult toys or dicks is very pleasant.
In addition to the features of the anus, determined by its functional purpose, the “close” is located in a zone that is potentiating for both men and women.

It may seem surprising, but the medical community was not aware of the complete internal structure of the clitoris until urologist and MD Helen O”Connell.
Lump in the rectum/anus/anus area
It is important to note that the pleasure of prostate stimulation is entirely physiological. Absolutely all men experience it simply because this is how their body is designed. This does not make a man a homosexual; it is his love for another man that makes him a homosexual.
In women it is located “next to” the anal passage. Clitoris. Yes. The clitoris is located inside the vagina, on its side. During anal sex, a sex toy, partner”s penis, or a finger stimulates the inside of the clitoris through the muscular separation between the anal and vaginal areas, and the woman experiences pleasure.
Indeed, in most cases it is more bumpy, and in order to experience orgasm, a woman needs additional stimulation of the more sensitive area of the clitoris. It is impossible to come from anal stimulation alone; orgasm requires at least genital stimulation.
Speaking of psychological factors, psychological factors also play a role here. Note that those who engage in anal sex take this into account: the man is not the only one who engages in anal sex.
- More depraved, unbridled, “forbidden” than vaginal. Allegedly, vaginal sex is a “minimum program,” but anal sex is a “problem with an asterisk,” well, you understand.
- More animalistic and passionate.
- In anal sex, those who engage in it feel there are more power dynamics, more “dominance” and “submission”.
Thus, men prefer to dominate, submit, and sometimes even “use” their partners (after all, as a rule, classic sex does not involve close tactile and visual contact), while women prefer to submit.
- Also, people who practice anal sex note that by doing it, they seem to be breaking some kind of taboo, and this excites them.
- On the other hand, anal sex can be an act of trust and intimacy in a couple, because with anal sex it is easier to hurt the receiving partner, and the partner opens up, trusts his lover, allows him to do this to himself and relies on his sensitivity and attentiveness.
Rules for good anal sex
- Take care of cleanliness. Most likely, the receiving partner will have to give an enema. Both partners should wash their genitals: the anus is connected to the intestines, and by contacting it, you can introduce intestinal infections into your body.
- Lube, lube, lube, lube! Lots of lube! The anal passage does not produce natural lubrication like the vaginal passage, and lubrication of the penis will not be enough. No, saliva is not suitable as a lubricant — there is not enough of it, and it dries out quickly. It is better to choose lubricant from a sex shop.
- There is a lot of foreplay, you should not start anal penetration immediately, as soon as you find yourself in bed. By the time of penetration, the receiving partner should be as relaxed and excited as possible and sincerely want anal sex.
- Anilingus is a very good idea. This will relax the external sphincter and excite the receiving partner, so anal sex will be easier and more painless.
- To produce more saliva during anilingus, chewing gum or a piece of sour fruit will help.
- Don”t start with a crazy rhythm right away. You should enter slowly and carefully, let your partner get used to it, and start movements with smooth, careful, gentle pushes.
- If you want to use a sex toy for anal stimulation, use an anal vibrator.
The fact is, nothing is impossible in the vagina. This means that toys can”t reach the vaginal opening because they don”t penetrate deeply. The anus doesn”t have such a “protective mechanism.” This is entirely possible. Furthermore, this anatomical feature is taken into account in anal vibrators and penitents of this design to prevent excessive penetration. 56897; _anal_itching. _dermatomycosis. _clinical_case_#45″>&
