Anal for straight men has always been a taboo. In part because of a false idea of emasculation and partly because of the “ew” factor. Those insecurities, mostly rooted in internalized homophobia, have kept straight guys from getting in on butt play.
Women have—ahem—plugged in to this idea a long time ago, many of them saying they achieve orgasm during anal sex. This phenomenon reached mainstream when earlier this year, Broad City announced, “It’s 2015. Anal’s on the menu.”
Men who have sex with men have been in on this secret for centuries. How to Get Away With Murder brought us tons of man-on-man ass play in the form of rimming and just good ol’ straightforward anal.

Men who have sex with men have been in on this secret for centuries. How to Get Away With Murder brought us tons of man-on-man ass play in the form of rimming and just good ol’ straightforward anal.
It seems that women and men who have sex with men have cornered the market on the booty. It’s time straight men got in on the action. We’ve reached peak anal. Don’t be left out.
Below are six reasons you should stimulate that prostate.
1. It’s healthy to explore your sexuality
Most of the objection from straight men about doing anal is fear it’ll somehow negate their heterosexuality. The idea of penetration repels bros everywhere.
This isn’t the nineties. Every straight man should explore himself and overcome that homophobic stigma.
Straight guy Donald did just that. Using a prostate massager, Donald found he really enjoyed the vibrating experience (perhaps a little too much). But why won’t other straight guys take the plunge? “I think more than anything, it’s just probably society at large having social constructs that says that’s off-limits, [and] that you’re gay,” Donald said.
The only thing that’s gay is being gay. There are plenty of ways to explore your nether regions. Solo or with a female partner, using fingers or adding toys into the mix. Whatever it may be, don’t let fears of being perceived as gay keep you from trying your hand at it.
2. You can’t ask your GF to do anal if you won’t give it a go
Men have been after ass for a long time. So much so that in a 2007 Details story, many of them said they tried it on the first date. According to those featured, it’s a badge of honor to get a woman to agree to do anal. Luckily, many women enjoy it.
