Now Presenting Anal Sex, As Explained By Gwyneth Paltrow

Most celebrities don’t talk about their sexual tendencies. Gwyneth Paltrow, it seems, is not most celebrities.

The actress’ website recently published a Q&A about anal sex, answering twelve apparently Frequently Asked Questions about playing in the backyard.

So apparently Gwyneth owns a website called Goop. Considering the subject matter of this article, that seems an appropriate name.

The magazine is celebrating its second annual sex issue, and in order to ratchet up interest, they decided to publish an article about butt stuff. They even brought in an alleged expert, psychoanalyst Paul Joannides, to give a professional opinion on everything you ever wanted to know about anal.

In Paul’s humble opinion, anal is, “practically standard in the modern bedroom repertoire.” So don’t worry, because, “If anal turns you on, you are definitely not alone."

The article addresses all the questions an adventurous couple would have before their first time experimenting with entering the exit door, including, “What are the health risks of anal?,” “How should we modify the anal sex we see modeled in porn to best suit an in-real-life couple?,” and most importantly, “Do people orgasm from anal stimulation?”

But let’s dive in (pun intended) to the practical advice offered. Like, for instance, it’s going to take some practice before you and your partner are ready to round 5th base.

“One of the first things a woman or man needs to do if they want to be on the receiving end of anal sex is to teach their sphincter muscles to relax enough that a penis can get past their gates,” according to Goop. “This takes a lot of practice.”

Also, here’s a fun tip about biology and partying backstage. “…unlike the vagina, the anus provides no lubrication. So in addition to teaching the sphincters to relax, and in addition to getting the angle right so you don’t poke the receiver in the wall of the rectum, you need to use lots of lube."

So I guess the take away from all this is, be safe out there kids.

Thanks, Gwyneth Paltrow?
