Anal sex practices and rectal erogenous zone maps among men and women of diverse sexual orientations: an anatomic-map based questionnaire study
Our findings show that RAI is practiced by many adults across ages, gender, and sexual orientation identities. Both men and women report pleasure from various areas within the rectum, primarily the superficial regions of the rectum. These findings may prove helpful in elucidating practices of RAI. Additionally, understanding erogeneity in the rectum may allow providers to better predict changes due to pathology and treatments of or surrounding these areas.
