Anal Sex John R. Ballew, M.S., L.P.C. Anal sex is often seen as the definitive gay act. Compared with heterosexual guys, gay men tend to be more familiar with their prostates. We are much more likely to associate this little gland with pleasure rather than embarrassment during physical exams.
Some research suggests that our prostates are healthier, too.
Just the same, there is a certain sense of mystery about our sphincters. Unless you are seriously flexible, you ve probably not seen this part of your body directly yourself. Your partner or boyfriend or even a casual trick probably has a clearer picture of what you look like down there than you do yourself. There are other reasons why butt holes are powerful, pleasurable and even mystical. The anal sphincter has lots of nerve endings capable of great delight when massaged or probed by someone who knows what he is doing.
