Go slow and let your partner decide how much to take at any one time. The other posts were good too--use lube of some sort. Talk with your partner to make sure you're both enjoying it.
In response to Cum, I can only speak for myself. I do prefer vaginal sex to anal, but my lover enjoys it so that I accomodate him. My problem is his size: he is quite girthsome, and we have yet to get it all the way in. We have used several types of lube (KY, saliva, my juices), and it still is too thick to get in.
I have doneit before with less-than-endowed guys, and it worked much better. I can only cum that way if I'm getting my clit rubbed, however.
I guess I can say that THIS woman likes anal sex simply for the satisfaction it gives the gentleman who is "pitching" <grin>.
I never thought in a million years that i would like anal, but i would have to say that i LOVE it. In small doses i cum harder and faster than i do by normal metheds, but having my clit rubbed at the same time is fantastic. For me with anal, a little is enough, but it's great when it the time and mood are made for something a little diferant, and a little wicked. My other half loves it too.
My first girlfriend taught me all about Anal sex....yeah alot of Lube is good thing, but one little trick she showed me was if you're able to pull out and push back in somewhat easily without hurting her, you can pull out and slip in a little vaginal sex at the same time. Just go from anal to vaginal for a few pumps and then go back to anal, if she's rubbing her clit wait 'till she's about to orgasm then slip in a few more thrusts of vaginal sex then back to anal. I did this once with my fiancee though before she had sworn off anal sex, she agreed to try it once and when I did this she came so hard she was screaming. My neighbors didn't like that too much since it was at 4 am. Though this trick may not work for everyone it's a good trick for if you're trying anal for the first time.
Maniac, ACK! No! Nonononono! Don't do that, no matter if it feels great to you and her. She's more likely than not to end up with a really nasty infection as a result. There's a reason us girls were taught to wipe from the front to the back...
Otherwise, stb69, anal sex can be really wonderful. What you've been told is good, e.g., lots of lube and being sensitive and aware of your partner's ability to accomodate your cock in his/her ass.
I'd add one thing, if i may. When you're first pushing into your partner, have him/her push out against you, as if they're trying to move their bowels.
Yes, you gotta say it cuz it's not something someone new to anal sex just *knows*, you know? Besides, if you're too shy to say that to your partner, then what the hell are you doing trying to fuck that part of them? If you can't talk about it, you shouldn't be doing it.
So, onward. Tell your partner, "Now push against me like you are trying to poop (or "take a shit" or "move your bowels" or whatever is easiest for you to say at the time)". This little muscular movement on your partner's part will help you both be more comfy with the initial entry. Honest.
Enjoy. Good anal sex is better than, well, just about anything.

right before you stick your cock in, go in with a finger to get an idea of the angle of penetration. An ass isn't as forgiving as a vagina so heading in straight makes a difference
