 Greece an eastern culture? 
In what logic Greece is put into ""EASTERN CULTURES"" ? Based on geography, religion , cultural or racial isssues? I am waiting an answer. Why the term greek in anal sex is not considered by wikipedia a slur? The described reasons about having anal sex before wedding are relevant for muslims, not christians, if you have any sense of reality (and credibility)

man, what are you talking about? greece is of course comparably eastern with respect to west europe.. its history is rooted in east, as a race greek nation is genetically similar to turks, and christianity does not mean the west automatically.. this is not the page to discuss where greece belongs..
and any sense of reality and credibility offers that anal sex is forbidden by majority of sects of all monotheistic religions.. don't try to reflect all christians are welcoming anal sex, while all muslims are completely against it, there are muslim sects who don't condone anal sex...  

 Patently false statement 
For women, pleasure is derived from anal intercourse because the rectum shares a wall with the vagina and therefore shares some of the nerve endings associated with sexual pleasure.

This is wrong anatomically and factually  most women do not find anal sex pleasurable, according to surveys by Kinsey and others.  Any statement to the contrary should be quantified somehow.

 The entire opening section of this article does not have a neutral POV.  Rather, it verges on arguments in favor of anal sex and clearly favors a male's perspective.  This seems to violate the official NPOV stance.

 Claiming that ""most women do not find it pleasurable"" is POV and unverifiable. What is verifiable is that heterosexual couples do indeed practice it (survey mentioned in 4th link below), and that some females find it pleasurable and can achieve orgasm. The presense of nerve endings in the areas described is also verifiable.

It isn't really unverifiable, most women do not enjoy anal sex as is shown in consistent studies.  Whether that is based on anatomical reasons or social reasons is not really important to whether or not it is a fact.  It could be mentioned that most women do not enjoy anal sex, but some do.  It should also be mentioned that many heterosexual couples do engage in anal sex (and if anyone doesn't understand how most women can dislike anal sex and then a large number of them can participate in it, they don't know very much about women).

 Let's see some of those ""consistent studies."" Talk 

If the wording is the main issue under debate, then why not simply say that women can find anal sex pleasurable, as opposed to categorically stating we do or don't, because that's more a matter of preference than anything else.

We probably shouldn't include statements so general such as ""women like/don't like"". It would be better to state that ""this agrees with the majority of women, as revealed by surveys"".

According to data released earlier this year by the Centers for Disease Control, the probability of HIV acquisition by the receptive partner in unprotected oral sex with an HIV carrier is one per 10,000 acts. In vaginal sex, it's 10 per 10,000 acts. In anal sex, it's 50 per 10,000 acts. Do the math. Oral sex is 10 times safer than vaginal sex. Anal sex is five times more dangerous than vaginal sex and 50 times more dangerous than oral sex. 

Other useful academic data is also available on the PDF link within the article.  
I don't think there has ever been any discension here that anal sex is a riskier activity then vaginal sex which is riskier then oral sex. This is a well accepted fact, supported by organisations like the WHO etc. However, this does not mean anal sex is bad or should be banned. If you claim otherwise then you should also support banning all sexual activity. Or hey why not just ban all contact between people? Nor does it mean people having anal sex are at more risk then people having vaginal sex. Someone having protected anal sex is likely to be at far lower risk then someone having unprotected vaginal and probably even oral sex. In fact, I wonder if a polygamic gay man wh
