Heterosexual Anal Sexuality and Anal Sex Behaviors: A Review

Author Kimberly R. McBride Author James Dennis Fortenberry

Abstract

Little research addresses the role of anal sexuality and anal sexual behaviors as a widely practiced but relatively less frequent element of a heterosexual sexual repertoire. However, the importance of anal sex in sexual health is increasingly well-defined by epidemiological and clinical studies. This article reviews existing data on a range of heterosexual anal sex practices and provides conceptual and methodological recommendations for new research.
