Interest in practice is associated not only with anatomy, but also with psychological aspects.

There are many nerve endings in the anus

Anal sex is not only the penetration of a penis into the anus, but also the use of toys, fingers or tongue. Many people enjoy being touched, oral sex, or penetration of the anus, because there are so many sensitive nerve endings concentrated in this area. For some, on the contrary, it makes them uncomfortable. This is also normal, everyone is different.

Men’s feelings are different

The vagina does not have a sphincter like the rectum. Therefore, it may seem to a man that the anus and intestinal walls are more tightly wrapped around the penis. Also, the vagina has a different texture, so it doesn’t feel the same.
