One more old topic and then I'll shut up. Since I think our characters might need this in a moment...
Anal Sex w/o Pain - Get your notebooks out. Terms to be used that the straight folk might not know: Top=insertive partner, Bottom= receptive partner. It's always best for inexperienced sodomites to begin with the top on his back and the bottom straddling. I describe the process of insertion as being similar to getting used to cold water. Take a little, take it back out, take a little more, take it back out, until you've gotten around the widest part of the penis. Sometimes it helps to push out while doing this, causing the muscle to dilate as it was designed to. Personally, once I've gotten around the widest part I like to take it out one more time to let everything relax again. One of the best parts of anal sex is once you've done this preliminary part and you effortlessly take it all the way for the first time. I think a lot of endorphins are released and the experience is, ahem, fulfilling. NEVER push against resistance. Trying to give this muscle more than it's ready for is similar to overstretching any other muscle and that's where the pain comes in.
At the start it might be difficult to accomdate length, but that will improve as it starts feeling good and you loosen up emotionally as well as physically. As both partners become more aware of the process you can start in any position you want. Anal sex is not supposed to hurt, regarless of what you might hear on Queer as Folk, and there's no reason it has to.
I hope you've found this lecture informative and can reference it for future personal exploration. Happy shagging.
