What's the craic (pun intended) with anal sex?

Similar here. One of my most disliked phrases is "it's no big deal - it's just sex". It's the most intimate thing a person can do, and there are laws around age, consent and incest. On an individual level it might be no big deal, but as a social behaviour it absolutely is a big deal, so people should never ignore any doubts they have, and never feel like they're "wrong" for not being into something others are into.

I remember thinking the same thing when I first found out what a blow job is, and didn't just stop feeling that way when I heard it's a commonly practised sex act. Also didn't see how cunnilingus could be attractive either, but when you are with someone you are really really into, you want to pleasure them and explore with them (and be pleasured by them) and this includes with your mouth. They're not going to urinate there and then - two different functions, and once hygiene is a very high priority, honestly it's a really nice experience. Anal or group sex though, no (in my opinion). I'm probably conservative enough sexually (according to some, going by some of the stuff I hear/read about :eek:) but even for me, oral is great with the right person, and not disrespectful or degrading at all.

Also, teenagers having threesomes and anal... what the heck is the rush. If I could go back, I would have waited until my very late teens/early 20s to just have sex, let alone other stuff.
