It is no more or less attractive. Just something fun to explore.

If your partner is into it then it becomes a change from the usual. I wouldn’t want to do it as much as vaginal sex and neither would my girlfriend. But occasionally she suggests it. I prop her off the side of the bed with a pillow under her so I have a great view of her asshole. Spend lots of time lubing her up. When I can comfortably get my thumb inside her ass I begin slowly shoving my cock in. Feels great because it so much tighter than a vagina.

I don’t. But that’s a personal choice.

However I think one of the main reasons why some are that attracted to it is because of the “forbidden” nature of the act.

It’s complicated, but also simple. The thing is, the better you know yourself and are honest about it, the better. You might lose points with people who don’t have the same interests but would be an okayish match, but by being clear about what genuinely gets you going you’ll make sure you don’t miss out on someone who’d be a great match, and that’s what really counts. Never judge yourself by the ones who aren’t interested.

There are people all over the spectrum. I find anal with my wife to be super hot. She orgasms really hard from anal. That isn’t the case with everyone. Honestly, if she didn’t love it, it wouldn’t be super high on my list. I get off by getting her off.

Being willing to try new things is admirable and sexy, but so is someone who has boundaries that they can openly and proudly share.

Let a thousand flowers bloom. Everyone’s preferences with a consenting adult are valid and appropriate.
