Honestly, the desire for anal sexuality has been there for quite a long time in my case. It's not something I really thought about until recently, but there were times during my childhood where I seemed drawn to my anal area... As if by instinct. I suppose that it is not that different from how a person first discovers genital masturbation. It likely happens to many people. They are curious about the anus, perhaps try touching it, and maybe they like the sensations.

It can continue from there, provided the individual enjoyed the feeling. We do what feels good, though society places quite a lot of stigma on subjects like anal sexuality. As a gay man, it felt 'normalized' somehow, even though it is an activity independent of orientation. There are many societal and personal barriers to enjoyment of anal play, but they're worth overcoming if it's something you enjoy in a healthful manner.

I highly recommend the book, "Anal Pleasure and Health". I'm reading it presently and it's very insightful.

I don't remember making a conscious decision to start. It just kind of happened, without any discussion or consideration. Seemed like a natural extension of whatever it was we were doing at the time.
