Stulhofer A, Ajdukovic D. A mixed-methods exploration of women’s experiences of anal intercourse: Meanings related to pain and pleasure. Archives of Sexual Behavior. 2013; 42:1053–1062. doi: 10.1007/s10508-012-0068-7. [ PubMed] [ CrossRef] [ Google Scholar] The current study sought to understand why heterosexual women engage in anal intercourse, their perceptions of risks associated with anal intercourse, and their physical and emotional reactions to anal intercourse. Results from a series of four focus groups with women recruited from a community-based HIV and STI testing program and an outpatient drug treatment program suggested that women had a wide range of views on anal intercourse with a man and motivations for having anal intercourse. Among these motivations were (1) because they were high; (2) the women’s own desire for anal intercourse; (3) a desire to please their partner, (4) in quid pro quo (exchange) situations; (5) because they wanted to avoid vaginal sex; (6) and because they did not consent, either because they did not realize they had to ability to refuse or because they were coerced.

This study provides insight for understanding how women perceive receptive anal intercourse with male partners and why they engage in anal intercourse. Future research should focus on two of the findings from this study. First, how do women decide who the “special” partners are with whom they will have anal intercourse? This has implications for sexual health, and HIV and STI prevention. The women mentioned trust and longer-term partnerships as being associated with less risky anal intercourse, but there were enough instances where rapport established with a new or casual partner was enough for the woman to designate a man as “special.”

In other cases, the women themselves offered to have anal intercourse in an attempt to please their partner: Like I tried it just to please my dude. I tried it, but I just can’t deal with it. (White, Group 3) I want to be the type of woman who does satisfy my man in any way…whatever desires he has. (Latina, Group 2) In contrast to the women who found pleasure in anal intercourse, 15 of the women (15/32; 47% of participants) focused on the emotional and physical discomfort associated with anal intercourse (see Fig. 4). For many of these women, the experience was physically uncomfortable or downright painful: That the majority of women reported that they had anal sex because they were high is not surprising, given the sample of women, which was recruited from a drug treatment and STI testing facility. This current study also found a relationship between anal intercourse, substance use, and sexual pleasure among women.
