Breathless: Is Anal Sex No Longer Taboo?
Butt sex is officially on trend. To kick off the fourth season of Girls tonight, Marnie gets bent over a sink and has her butt eaten out—and really likes it. It is strongly implied that anal sex is what we are watching in a certain scene of Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest film, Inherent Vice. Mindy Kaling recently did a whole episode of The Mindy Project on anal sex—which aired, remember, on network TV. And in November, Harvard University offered a workshop called “What What in the Butt: Anal Sex 101.” (Yup. Not a lie.) The class, which was part of the university’s annual “Sex Week,” educated students about the butt as a potential pleasure site for all genders, how to have anal sex well, anal toys, hygiene, and so on. Does all of this mean that anal sex is no longer taboo?
This Vogue article just continues to get better from there, shifting towards the author’s personal experiences. Highly recommended.
