Why guys love anal sex is easy to explain.

The number one reason it because it’s tighter than the vagina, plain and simple. The more friction a man feels around his penis as he’s thrusting in and out, the more pleasurable the act (which is also why guys love hand jobs so much too).

The second reason why men love anal sex is because of its forbidden nature. Every human being, bar none, is attracted in some degree or other to adventure.

To the thrill and excitement of doing something daring and different. Something we’re not “supposed to” do. The rush of being dirty is irreplaceable.

And as it happens, anal sex is considered to be one of the most dirty, different, daring, and taboo acts two people can do that don’t (at least in most states and countries) break the law. That makes it immensely appealing to people whose lives are otherwise pretty much planned and predictable, staid and routine.

A third and less common reason men opt for anal sex over vaginal sex is to skirt the risk of pregnancy. Men typically don’t prefer using a condom when having sex and only do so begrudgingly because they know it’s “the right thing to do”. But there’s no risk of pregnancy with anal sex (though there is of contracting certain venereal diseases, so don’t forget that).

Still, let’s assume you’ve been tested for everything and he’s been tested for everything, and you’re both found to be free and clear of all sexually transmitted diseases. Then anal sex gives a guy a way to have sex with you without a condom without worrying about having to deal with prematurely becoming a daddy. (On a side note, many virginal women only allow intercourse anally because, in their minds, they believe it keeps their virginity intact. How true this is has been the ongoing subject of much vociferous debate.)

It’s never easy. Doesn’t matter if you break up with him or he breaks up with you – picking up the broken pieces and moving on with your life is just as hard either way.

You’ve built something together. You’ve invested a great deal of your time and energy in each other. You’ve been emotionally vulnerable towards him, only to find that he’s not “the one” you’d hoped or believed he was. That hurts, no matter how you look at it.

But you too can get through it, as painful as breaking up may be. You can be happy again. And in fact, being free of a relationship that wasn’t working anyway is your first step. A step that, whether by choice or force, you’ve already taken. See? You’re on the road to recovery already.

Cheating on Him

Whether you've already cheated on your man or you're just thinking about it, it's not too late to save you're relationship.

Chances are, if you've had an affair (or are seriously considering it), you're feeling emotionally distant from your man. Disconnected. The "other man" then (whether real or only fictitious right now) is merely filling that emotional void.

Feel like your man's going a little cold on you? Or maybe you just want to surprise him by adding even more spice to your already great sex life? Either way, the following sex tips for women will have your man eating out of the palm of your hand and begging for more.

Dress for the occasion: Enough can’t be said about the allure of a woman scantily clad in sexy lingerie. And don’t think just because you’re not a poster model that he wouldn’t be jumping out of his skin if he saw you walk out in a skimpy Victoria’s Secret number. Men may complain about all the money they’re earning that their girlfriends and wives are spending. But lingerie is one expense he’ll be glad to work into the budget.

Start with a massage. It’s not just for horny high schoolers anymore. No, seriously. You and he may both know where it’s going from the beginning, but that doesn’t make a sensual massage any less sensual, any less erotic, and any less tantalizing. As you soothe his aches and pains and further and further relax his body, he’ll just be getting hotter and hotter anticipating what’s coming next.

Never stop talking: One of the things that endears couples to one another is the ability to sit for long spells in total silence together and feel completely connected, completely content. This is a very attractive promise to most men, who aren't much for random small talk in the first place. So a woman who simply cannot stop talking comes across to these men like she's afraid of the silence, which is a total turn-off. And before long, just the sound of her voice starts to grate on a man's nerves in a way that, on a primal level, makes him want to get as far away from its source as he can.
