As someone who enjoys anal, at the same time I feel dirty and ashamed. I can tell that my husband isn't crazy about it, which adds to the feeling of shame and paranoia ("does he think I'm a pervert for wanting it?" "I hope there's not poop on the condom..") Sadly, these thoughts interfere with my ability to enjoy it somewhat. I'm not saying the shameful feeling is because of him--I felt this way with my ex, who was VERY open, and I feel this way even when I'm using toys. But it doesn't help! How many people also feel shame when doing any kind of anal play?

I don't believe there should be any kind of shame associated with sex. Yes, there are sexual mishaps that can be incredibly embarrassing, but it shouldn't be shameful. Sex is about pleasuring not only yourself, but your partner, and I think that only good feelings should be a product of that.
If you feel shame, it may be a good idea to analyze what makes you feel this way. If necessary, talk to a close friend or a therapist, if you can afford one. Talking about it can help remove the negative stigma you feel and help you enjoy yourself.
I personally don't like anal sex, but I never had any negative feelings about per se (except I thought it was physically uncomfortable). Sex is meant to be a wonderful bonding agent, and it would be sad if shame affected that!
I hope this helps

I started a little more than a year ago and have been gradually feeling less ashamed. It is a slow process but important to keep going forward. My goal is to feel completely comfortable with my hetero sexuality which includes anal play.

I absolutely love having something up my bum and thrusting according to what I feel and need and want. It just feels so great.
I've asked my wife about trying pegging me but she's not interested now or yet. It's something I fantasize about and would love her to do. I think it would be amazing to be there, prone, relaxed, being pegged by my gorgeous wife.
Nothing to be ashamed about wanting to feel good in every way.

I do not find shame in it, granted there is a lot more going on back there than 'normal' sex, why should you feel shame if it feels good and it is pleasurable?
12/29/2011
I wouldn't say it's a feeling of shame, more just worry. I know my guy isn't totally into, but he's still turned on by it.
12/29/2011
Hope you can let go of that awful feeling soon, there's really nothing to be ashamed of, think of it as just a more exciting way to have sex.

I think you should sit down and have a frank discussion with your husband on this matter. I'm guessing he might feel weird about it so why not see what exactly he is thinking so you can either overcome the issue or maybe leave anal for masturbation only.

You enjoy it and your "hubby isn't crazy about it". Wow, that seems a slightly unusual twist on the whole thing. Maybe the best thing is for you and he to talk it out. Maybe HE likes it more then you think and maybe HE can actually make you feel less ashamed in any case.

We love anal play...the intensity and incredible "trust" you give to your partner in allowing them entry into that MOST personal zone. My hubby goes NUTS for my tush and I feel nothing but JOY that he loves me...and my hiney, frankly, so darn much!!!!
Shame has never come into the picture, really. If you have a good relation, then DO talk it out and get that albatross off your back. Shame and dirty are NO fun and sex should be FUN. Carefree and FUN between two married people, for sure!!!!
Oh..in my 37 years or so of anal play, we (and a couple lovers before WE were we) never used a condom for this kind of play and there has never been "poop" anywhere. The rectum is empty if you are not prepared to have a bowel movement and so anal play is often VERY clean. It is another reason we DON'T like enema's before anal, since that DOES churn stuff up and I have heard more people have "accidents" from the enema,which likely would NOT have happened without it. Just a thought.
HAVE FUN and best wishes sorting this out.

Maybe not shame so much as embarrassment? But there is a hesitation there, whatever the reason. We're working up to it.

you should never feel ashamed during/about sex. embarrassed, yes. because sex IS dirty and sweaty and gross, but it should be enjoyable at the same time! i would recommend a lot of solo anal play to get yourself comfortable with it, and definitely talk to your husband about it - maybe he isn't crazy about it, but he wants to please you!
12/30/2011
Nah. I've never felt any shame about a sexual act, and anal is no different! There's nothing at all wrong with it, don't worry yourself! Just enjoy it and have a good time
12/30/2011
My guy loves it, I love it, we love each other. I think the fact that it makes both of us feel great eliminates any remote possibility of any negative feeling afterwards. Even if he wasn't as into it as I was, I know he'd never make me feel badly about it which is a comforting quality in a partner.
12/31/2011
I odn't feel ashamed with a partner but.. it's not generally socially accepted.
12/31/2011
I clicked shameful but not enough to stop, but I feel slightly different that that. I'm not ashamed really, just worry sometimes about cleanliness, no matter how many times I make sure I'm clean. I'm also still getting used to it, so I feel bad when I make him stop. Not even because of him, he makes me feel a LOT better, but because I'm thinking, "GAH! I thought I had it that time!"
12/31/2011
I love anal and it is normal to me. No shame in my game in that regard
01/01/2012
While I am not ashamed, I do require everything to be in order. I have to be squeaky clean and sure of myself. But that's kind of my OCD and fear of embarrassment coming out.

Feel blessed to be one of the rare species of life on Earth that are able to experience immense pleasure, emotion, and spiritual release from sexual gratification. No shame in gratifying yourself

Isn't it though? (an unusual twist.) I think he doesn't like it because he's very religious...even though I tried to explain to him that "sodomy" in the Bible refers to sex between two males, especially an older male with a young boy, as was widespread during that time. It says nothing against anal sex between wife and husband. Oh well. He's a stubborn one thats for sure.

no shame when it happens, but it is rare if if it does.

I don't feel any shame in anal play at all. At the same time, it isn't something I want a ton of people to know that I enjoy. This is only because a lot of people do not understand it, or you get labeled as a certain type by some people (I have had this happen). For example, I have had guys only become interested in me once they discovered I had kinks, and it seemed that was the only reason they pursued me.

society puts a stigma on ass play, its so crazy... everyone needs to try it and stop complaining.
