Goop is a weekly lifestyle newsletter launched by Gwyneth Paltrow in 2008, and let's just say she isn't shy when it comes to talking about sex. She just published an VERY intimate article about anal sex in which she consults an expert to answer ALL YOUR BURNING QUESTIONS.
Here are a few excerpts from the article:
"Do not use numbing lube, and do not have anal sex while drunk or stoned."
"So 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. This takes a lot of practice."
"...you won’t find too many condoms that say “safe for anal sex” because the FDA has not cleared condoms for use in anal sex. "
"... small chunks of fecal matter can lodge into the man’s urethra."
