Women who have anal sex experience more orgasms, study shows

Anal sex is often taboo and can even scare many women. However, those who practice it are said to have more orgasms.

Sodomy to have an orgasm

Sodomy is often taboo and many women do not want to take the plunge. This sexual practice can indeed be frightening and women may therefore be apprehensive about it. Stepping out of one's comfort zone is not always easy, even though many men are willing to try anal sex.

Some more daring women who have tried sodomy have found pleasure in it. According to a study in the Journal of Sexuality, 94% of women who have had anal sex claim to have had an orgasm.

Building trust and discovering new sensations

In addition to leading to orgasm, anal sex is said to bring partners closer together. People who have practised it feel closer and are more liberated in their relationship. Not to mention that they probably trust their partner a great deal.

Anal sex also allows women to get to know themselves better and to discover new sensations. Sodomy is an act of domination, which may appeal to those who like to be dominated. This sexual practice may lead some to fulfil their fantasies and reach orgasm more easily.

Finally, anal sex allows partners to be more tactile. It's often believed that men do not stimulate enough areas during vaginal sex—men, don't forget the clitoris!—so women find it difficult to come. However, anal sex forces the man to be more tactile and to stimulate the different ares the vagina.
