    I'm beginning to wonder how you always have these examples handy.

    *shrug*

    I know a lot of people.

    I also recycle a lot of anecdotes. Seriously, about 75% of my anecdotes are about five people.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

    I do not like doggy-style, mainly because it bloody hurts. It's possibly just the way I'm built, but it is very uncomfortable. I put up with it for a while because my husband likes looking at my butt (and yes, the jiggling boobs) but I had to put a stop to it because it was entirely too painful.

    But that's just me. I'm just saying, this may be the case for other women, they're just not willing to tell a partner 'Yeah, that position actually hurt, don't do that again."

    These five people are very interesting.

    Also I know a woman like your friend. She pretty much doesn't like it in the vagoo at all, which is funny because she wants kids some day.

    Alternatively your husband has a fairly lengthy penis, and is just now discovering how that works against him.

    Indeed. I've never heard this; in fact, my girlfriend says she loves it because she feels like it is mildly submissive, which evidently makes her hot.

    Also, no objections to anal sex. Maybe I'm just dating someone awesome.

    And you will find a GREAT MANY WOMEN who think this way.

    I'd even go so far as to say more women think this way than those who do not. Feel free to correct me on that though, thats just a hunch I have.

    Now wait, though. At the beginning of this thread everyone was like "how could it possibly be regarded as submissive or mildly demeaning?" Now we have people saying "the fact that it's submissive is a positive for many women."

    Well, either have your cake or eat it, because if it's submissive it shouldn't be that hard to imagine why some women do not enjoy it.

    (This is at the thread in general, not you two specifically.)

    It can be submissive or simply yet another way to enjoy yourself.

    Again, as I and many others said, the position itself is not demeaning, it is what you make of it.

    It is only submissive if the woman imagines it to be submissive...whether she enjoys that or not is up to her.

    Missionary style could also be submissive if I leant down and whispered in her ear "you're my little slut" (which I have done while drunk, and turned out to get a surprisingly positive reaction), so its not the position thats submissive.

    Pretty much. Although I find it's not so much hurts as 'is uncomfortable, and any other position is more favourable'. It feels like my insides are being churned.

    But it's okay to compromise, so I'll not say no. The only problem occurs when it's wanted regularly. Then it becomes vaguely insulting - and boring.

    This is what we call "hitting the end of the road". When she's like "oh harder" and you're like "yeah, baby, you got it"... and then her face and vagina get clenched and you feel like you just broke your cock on her spine... that's when size matters. And it sucks.

    Certainly the pain is going to be different but it doesn't mean it's not at all comparable or not worth paying attention to.

    For some women, doggy style feels like someone shoving a wooden spoon up your ass and then twisting it round so it feels like your intestines are being stirred, and afterwards your stomach rumbles like you've just eaten a really dodgy curry and need to go lie down.

    Sounds like menstrual cramps, except add in "back, sides, and intestines" to hips and crotch. Plus, you don't get kicked in the balls constantly for three days every month. (Or if you do, you probably deserve it. :P)

    How the fuck would you know that having your cervix rammed with a meat-hammer doesn't hurt as much as getting kicked in the balls? Unless you're a hermaphrodite. If you're not, it's probably smartest to just take her word for it and not bang on her cervix like it's a bass-drum.

    No, but they are one of the stupidest designs ever.

    Hey, let's make sperm need to be a few degrees cooler then average body temperature, so they need to hang outside of the body. Let's also make this protrusion really, really fucking sensitive. Thanks nature. You think the human strain that would have become evolutionarily dominant would have had some kind of protection for it, like some animals do.

    Not saying that the vagina, or women's periods were designed any smarter by nature though. (not that nature really designs things, anyway)

    Seriously, Inquisitor. Anthropomorphisms, and frankly any literary device which can't be taken literally or misinterpreted, is a totally rude thing to do. So what if you were speaking sarcastically to nature as if were it an actual designer with a clear indication that you weren't calling the balls a design. Using the word "design" just... naturally means you actually believe the literal interpretation of what you're saying. :P

    Nice try, but the problem is actually the word "stupid" in reference to the means by which the feature came into being, which only makes any kind of sense if it was designed by someone or something intentionally.

    I'd say the main problem with anal sex is that it can be very very dirty (not intentionally but you are sticking your dick in a place that shit comes out of). And it's not readily apparent till after the act and you're like "Ok time to take a shower". Other then that it's a very rewarding sexual experience.

    As far as a position being painful, that's as valid a reason as any not to do something. I know one position my fiancee and myself engage in that I don't particularly like because during moments of passion my balls get pressed in such a way it hurts for a couple days afterward.

    I think people were only being particularly incredulous about the concept of doggy style as demeaning. Obviously, if you find it physically uncomfortable/unpleasant, you're not going to enjoy it/want to do it. I think the issue was with how it could be construed as demeaning (keep in mind that submissive and demeaning are two very different beasts).

    Doggy style doesn't mean anal sex.

    Re. the demeaning aspect, this quote answers it somewhat:
    mcdermott wrote: »
    Also, a lack of perceived intimacy (due to not facing each other), which is only heightened by the lack of control on the part of the woman. For somebody who doesn't particularly enjoy the position...as in, doesn't find it particularly physically pleasurable...and who has any sexual hang-ups in general (whether societal, personal, or religious) this can easily lead to feeling either "used" or "dirty."

    You're right, Aemilius, in that submissive doesn't mean demeaning, either.
