Introduction to The Anal Guide
The adult entertainment industry has grown tremendously over the last two decades, shedding light on many niches and kinks.
One of the niches that has remained dominant is Anal Sex, ranking high in most-watched porn categories worldwide.
In 2019, Pornhub reported that “anal” was in its top ten most-searched terms globally.
The sexual act did not start recently, with its history tracing back to ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian mythology.
Paintings, pottery, and literature were used to record the act, both in homosexual and heterosexual relationships.
However, in the 19th to 20th century, anal sex was considered immoral. Any act of it was omitted from the media until the 1970s; the golden age of porn.
But its dominance did not start until the 90s with stellar performances from stars like Annie Sprinkle.

The History And Culture Of Anal
The 1980s – 1990s saw the rise of adult-content VHS and magazines that started exploring the curiosity/taboo of anal sex. While only a few pornstars performed in the category, it was fast-becoming an interesting aspect to both pornstars and viewers. But the “forbidden” tag was still on the act, and few were bold enough to buy or rent tapes in their name. However, all of that changed with the advent of the Internet in the early 2000s. With better accessibility and anonymity, users could explore this taboo and discover their preferences freely.
Soon, what was stigmatised became the primary content on many adult sites. The niche started extending beyond just penetration to other elaborate actions. Scientific studies vouched for analplay to give better orgasms that clitorial or vaginal stimulation.
This is because the anus has more nerve endings, and men can have their P-spot (prostate zone) stimulated from anal sex.
The NSFW industry was one of the primary drivers of anal sex, showcasing pleasurable, high-quality photos and videos of the act. Undeniably, pornstars make it look easy and hot when performing, planting ideas that you can find pleasure in, too.
