But with consent of the test subject

Control.

In my experience, yes.

My first serious boyfriend wanted to have anal sex. I did not because even trying it with a bunch of lube made me absolutely howl in pain and be miserable for 24 hours to several days afterwards (and my ex was in no way well endowed). One time, he just “missed” the hole and then didn’t actually…

Bc they are douchebags, and they like“getting” something from a woman that she doesn’t want to do.

As a man, I can really only personally attest that the drunken “whoops, sorry, holy crap are you ok?” version of this is definitely possible, but I did date a girl going through med school a few years ago, who was in her ob gyn phase at the time, so every week was a new “wow vaginas are weird” factoid.

And articles like this are why I really only hate-read Jezebel.

Well, the answer is that it doesn’t feel the same way for most dudes with most ladies. Even if both options are good, and the dude is wrapped up, most of the time the dude will know the difference, even if the initial entry is accidental.

Not sure. Historically anal sex is a transgressive act that is “dirty” / taboo, and we all know there are some people who get off on sex being “dirty”. However, modern porn does a lot of anal, normalizing it akin to fellatio / cunnilingus in the 70s, and there are lots of people who are big into peer pressure. I…

What a tool!! To question your knowledge about your own body.

See, I’ve heard a story of the opposite. Having sex with a (virgin) guy who thought he was having vaginal intercourse but had to be told afterward that nope, it was anal. And teenagers are stupid and for some reason don’t consider anal to be real sex, so of course he then wonders if that means he’s still a virgin.

I see how it could happen, especially from behind but what I really really don’t get are the couple of guys (not at the same time!!) Who have assumed we had anal when they were firmly in my vadge, one even waxed poetic about it and I hadn’t the best to tell him the truth.

If it feels the same for dudes, why are so many of them so obnoxiously obsessed with sticking it in women’s butts?

Like. All the way in? I need more detail. Enough dudes have accidentally stuck the tip in there fumbling around in the dark on the first try that I don’t think it’s a lie—these are mostly guys I trust not to pull a fast one on me, and when I’m like “lol little higher man” they’re like “oh shit sorry” and we…

Yeah, it happens with fingers and strap-ons, too, with lesbians, as I can attest to pretty recently. I’ve had it happen with men, as well; things happen when you’re going at it and it’s a little wild and well....ouch!

not to get all gross, but yeah it’s impossible as a woman to mix up the holes. poop comes out of one, first of all, so when you’re wiping it’s clearly from somewhere further back than the vahjayjay. who are these people and do they have nether regions like barbie and ken.

Yah, aka rape?

That is a REALLY good point. If these nimrods are mixing up their vaginas and their assholes all the time, there would be a whole lot of tampons up the butt. Yet, you never hear “whoopsey me, just plugged my anus with Tampax, ha ha!”

clearly a number of heterosexual people also do not understand this subject

Well when and a man, and a woman love each other very much (or are drunk/horny/bored/(insert modifier)) they hug in a special way.
