As promised here are the results of the Anal Sex & Fisting Survey we began last year. Following the facts and figures we're including a section with some of the many anonymous comments we received from those who took part in this survey. Enjoy! ANAL SEX ANSWERS Of the men who answered, 95% like anal sex, as follows: ... 90% like fingering ... 86% like anal intercourse ... 84% like using toys ... 72% like rimming Of the women who answered, 90% like anal sex, as follows: ... 100% like fingering .... 93% like using toys .... 70% like rimming .... 67% like anal intercourse FISTING ANSWERS Of the men who answered, 79% like fisting, as follows: ... 88% like fisting women ... 38% like being fisted by a woman ... 15% like fisting men ... 14% like being fisted by a man Of the women who answered, 78% like fisting, as follows: ... 62% like being fisted by a man ... 43% like being fisted by a woman ... 33% like fisting women ... 14% like fisting men (obviously some answers add to more than 100% since people can enjoy any or all of these things in combinations with others) Comments from survey respondents... "One thing your fisting faq didn't touch on was a woman's fear of being stretched out. I know this was my own fear at one point, which make it basically impossible for my partner to fist me. I think the facts on this subject might help other women who share that concern." "I like anal play only from women. I love to be taken by a woman to show her dominance over me. I think anal sex is the ultimate surrender from a man to a woman." "I have had the pleasure of enjoying anal sex and fisting with a variety of women over the years, it has consistently surprised me how much intense enjoyment they derive from it once they are relaxed and accept the idea that it is not "wrong" - only another form of lovemaking. There is nothing as erotic as a woman leaning over the edge of a bed, spreading a little cream on her own ass and inviting one to partake." "I've never tried fisting, but have fantasized about it often... always on the giving end. Though I've seen the photos, I find it difficult ot believe anal fisting of either sex can be fun for the receiver. If I found an properly receptive female partner, I would love to try both on her. There is a chance that seeing her "enjoy" it...I might want to try receiving it." "i enjoy the anal because it gives my Master pleasure but in all actuality i am indifferent to it! as far as fisting....ohh my! this i find particularly erotic and a huge turn on for me. so far, i haven't been able to fully accept my Master's entire fist...the need to orgasm has been so incredible i find i am unable to complete the task...much to the dismay of my Master...*sigh*" "I love all forms of sex to do with the ass, unfortunately my wife is hung up about anal fun for me. She loves to receive but not to give...halfway anyway! Better half than none!" "I LOVE anal sex, it's so much fun. I have never been fisted before but I wouldn't mind it at all." "My wife let me fuck her ass. We did this for a year. Then suddenly she told me no more ass for me." "I want super kink from any and all. I'll take anything anytime from anybody." "Anal play for me is exploring things that are supposed to be considered "wrong". Once you have explored anal play however, and if it is done right with enough lubricant and time, and of course patience, it can be enjoyed by everyone involved, not only the person who is giving the experience, but the person who is receiving the experience will love it. Always take your time, and as things "loosen up" things become an out of this world experience!" "Fisting, to me, is kind of like birthday cake (what?! how kinky is THIS guy?) Hear me out: doesn't come along very often, it's great when it does, but there are plenty of other things to enjoy. If it's not there, it's no big deal. "Anal sex is a whole other bag of nails. I don't know if I could have a long-term relationship with a woman who didn't enjoy it. Fortunately, I've found that even the most strait-laced women are at least interested in trying it, and, given the right amount of patience, information and tenderness, I don't think I've met one who wasn't into it at least occasionally." "I think both anal sex and fisting can be fun and erotic when with the right person.. and using the right lubricants... and encourage my friends to try it before they disagree and have found that most enjoy it just as much as I.." ... A BIG thank you to all the readers who participated in this survey, and a special thanks to those who took the time to write to us in the comments box. We got many more responses than we had room to include here but we read and were glad to receive each one of them.
