I have given and received, with and without condoms with men and women. What do you want to know exactly
My partner got super scared that it would damage her asshole to the point of medical prolapse and such; and it became a hard no for her.
I've been with several anal virgins that were strongly against it mainly due to my size but we worked up to it, first eating pussy while i slipped a finger or two in then toys then the real thing. Every one of them has loved it, painful at first but once they got used to it they claimed the orgasms were on a completely different level Personally i prefer vaginal. Anal is more of a taboo pleasure as opposed to a physical pleasure in the sense that only the first inch or so is tight like a ring then its kind of just open where as generally a vagina is a more consistent fit like a glove
Ex wife and I had an anal phase, kind of a taboo-breaking thrill, that lasted a short while. Started with her on top for control and eventually I could just take her hard from behind. She did orgasm once that way, which surprised both of us! For whatever reason, it never became a regular part of our sex life and ultimately faded out. I'm glad we did it, but if I never have that again I'm fine with it. I think the pleasure is more psychological than physical. Have to agree with grower88 - it's a tight little ring but the pussy is by far more appealing overall.
Thanks for sharing. I agree; life gets in the way. Glad that both of you can find time to enjoy it every so often.
