However, stress and ignorance can turn the anus and its functions from a source of delight into a painful disability.

You'll unlearn habits that can cause everything from hemorrhoids to chronic pelvic pain- and, if you choose, learn new ways of achieving solo and partnered pleasures through this humblest of portals.The first part of this book deals with the more private aspects of anal exploration.

The latter part deals with how to include the anal area comfortably and safely in sensual and sexual play with others.Each chapter begins with relevant information from the fields of anatomy and physiology, medicine or psychology. Then a section entitled "experience” presents simple things to do. This section is intended to help you apply new information, in concrete and practical ways, to your own behavior.
