The possible future

[hornycpl]

I was thinking recently what the future might look like. With anal sex gaining popularity and even anal only getting more popular, I can only imaging this will continue into the future. If that happens, what will the future look like?

Will anal sex be taught in sex-ed in schools as a viable alternative to vag sex? Maybe even recommended to help stop teen pregnancies?
Will hookups be predominantly anal, to stop a broken condom leading to an unwanted pregnancy?
Will porn sites mostly be anal pics/vids, with a special section for vaginal stuff, for the people who are still into that?
Will it be normal for women to wear butt plugs as a normal every day occurrence? Just another part of getting dressed up?

What do you think the future will look like if anal sex keeps growing in popularity?

I honestly believe that if we could get every couple in the world to try anal only for a few months, most of them would choose to stay predominantly anal. And I can only imagine that as anal becomes a bigger part of popular culture, more and more couples will be willing to try this.

While I love anal and have had two partners who felt same current hubby an a ex. I can't see it becoming mainstream to the extent you wish. Firstly it's still taboo to many. None of my female friends admit to it also while unwanted pregnancy would be reduced as a casual thing condoms are still needed with anal to avoid sti's. As for wearing plugs like you would a watch lol not sure I have worn a plug out when at dinner with friends (they did not know) been so dam horney at end begged hubby to bum me soon as we got hoke.

Well @hornycpl perhaps that day has arrived. Since searches for vaginal porn far outnumber the searches for anal porn, maybe most people take anal for granted and are looking to vaginal for that naughty thrill?

Just because people don't talk about anal doesn't mean they're not doing it. How many of us anal addicts here in this forum have had a discussion in real life which included a reference to our love for anal? See what I mean?

I think surveys are inaccurate for the same reason - I don't suppose we'll ever know how many people enjoy anal regularly, let alone go AO. But it's fun to speculate

I think we're a long way off from something like that, but I don't think it's impossible either. AO is still very much a niche, even though there are a lot of us out there.

However, I do see anal as a part of an overall set of sexual activities people do regularly becoming increasingly mainstream and common. It's not there yet, but it is growing in popularity as many of the myths surrounding it start to get busted, more women report pleasure and positive experiences with anal, and advice on how to prepare for it the first time becomes widely available online. I see it like oral sex—in the not too distant past, it was something a lot of people wouldn't do, but now it's pretty much a guaranteed part of sex for most people. Anal will gradually shift into that as well for most people. Taboos and myths will have to continue to be broken in order to get to that point, and it won't happen overnight.

As that does happen, and most people start having positive anal experiences, a percentage will just naturally shift into AO because having tried vaginal and anal both, some will prefer anal and will either naturally or consciously end up AO. I do tend to agree that a significant number of people would love it if they they tried going AO for a few months after already having anal experience and loving it, and would want to stay with it. It may never be a majority of people, but there is plenty of room for it to grow in popularity and it's far from its peak of popularity—most people just don't even really consider it until they hear about it and then try it for themselves. And most who do and who enter into a trial period out of curiosity and desire to try it rather than pressure from someone else end up loving it.

I look at a woman's beautiful anus before I look at her vagina now. At first when I started with sex it was the other way around. I choose a lover because I'm attracted to her booty. I will still have vaginal sex by I'm working on my current lover to keep going more anal. She never had it before me. Like other Midwestern women she thought it dirty and a sin. Yesterday she started moaning when I rimmed her and told me she really liked that. We took it slow and ended with anal sex. She really seemed to enjoy it. I reassured her it was passion at it's finest. I will stay the course and hope to plug her soon.

I had the opportunity to provide sex education to youth and even to cognitively challenged adults and I always included anal sex in our discussions. I approached my sex discussions from a point of view that sex is going to happen between people anyways - regardless of age - so I wanted folks to know to say YES on their terms. Knowing the parameters of consent but keeping an open mind to what could be pleasurable. Of course I encouraged masturbation. Know what feels good to you so that you can tell your potential partner(s) what gets your motor runnin'.

I hope these discussions continue to take place.

I think this is great. My wife and I have often said we wish we knew anal sex was an alternative when we were young. We just didn't think about it. I can't tell you the number of times we had a pregnancy scare - running to the store to buy a pregnancy test. Honestly, we're just fortunate she never got pregnant. If our sexual education had included anal sex, we might have tried it much earlier. When she eventually started on the pill, it screwed up her hormones, causing her to have real bad periods and gain weight. I can't tell you how much better it was once we began finishing in her ass each time and she was able to get off the pill.

Sadly, the way anal sex is addressed (if at all) in most sexual education programs is to say that it is more likely to spread an STD. Hopefully there will come a day when society accepts anal sex, at least as a viable alternative, if not a normal part of a healthy sex life. Maybe then sex education can present some of the advantages of anal sex, rather than just say it's a good way to spread disease.

Yes, questions of the future have always worried the minds of people.Unfortunately or fortunately, we live in a very rapidly changing world and it is very difficult to predict what the world will be like in 10-20-50 years.The Futirists of the early 20th century failed to predict World War II or the phenomenon of the World Wide Web. I'm not sure if I'm right, but it seems to me that the Internet and readily available pornography can help.In my youth, it didn’t exist at all, then adult magazines began to appear and then VHS, which were rarely found anywhere. Now, such information is ubiquitous and accessible to everyone without any difficulties.
Nowadays, many more women are starting to experience anal sex, and they discover that they actually love it.And I think that in our digital age, it was porn that gave many women the curiosity in anal sex and the confidence to try it.
Porn helps women understand what they really like more in personal intimacy, which otherwise they might never have realized.10-15 years ago, double anal was a very rare act that only very few superstars could perform, and even then it was not easy. Now quite often girls enter the porn scene at the age of 18 or 19 and start with this kind of thing, as if it wasn't a problem at all.
Relatively recently, companies like LegalPorno began to appear that specialize specifically in anal sex. Now, 90% of all porn films have anal scenes and it's great! This reflects what people like and what they want.Ultimately, I am convinced that in the future, anal sex will be as common as, for example, oral sex. 40 years ago, for many, oral sex was the same as something extraordinary, and women who were not shy about talking about it were called words from a dirty lexicon. Now this is a common occurrence and the same will be in relation to anal sex.I am sure that every day there are more and more people who sympathize with this idea of anal sex and a total rejection of vaginal!

Good analysis, @AssaiMak and I for one know that people like my parents, born in the 30s, condsidered oral sex a taboo. This was very christian catholic church driven. Seemen was supposed to create children, as god intended. Swallowing it was sin, because you took away the chance for it to become life. For that reason even condoms were only for progressive couples.

And I do see the same thing happening with anal sex. It isn’t much of a taboo anymore, it just isn’t openly discussed yet. My girlfriend, for example, will never mind me telling any of my friends we are anal only. She loves anal and doesn’t even understand why it’s not talked about more. If she tells a friend she preffers anal over vaginal she always gets reactions of pure disbelieve. Like she just says it because I make her do anal.

For many women the thought a woman choses anal over vaginal is still very incomprehencable. But I guess the same goes for women who would rather give their man daily blowjobs then having vaginal sex and they exist too.

I don’t think anal sex will be an openly discussed topic anytime soon. But in private, between good friends, it is talked about more then before.
