Liking your answers... I'm another who feels like sex is part of some greater thing, well good sex is anyway. I did once find a website that taught that great sex was a pathway to "God" (whatever higher power you want to call this) and that great connective sex was a religious experience. I could actually really go for that and I wouldn't say I don't believe it now in some ways. What do I think about the original question.. - that I got into anal stuff because it was naughty and because it generally floors guys when you say you like it (ok I was 16/17 and it drove men crazy). It's the whole posh girl getting dirty behind closed doors...it does it for me. It didn't hurt that I actually really enjoyed it mostly too after doing my own experimentation before letting anyone near me. I remember the first time I actually had anal sex and who did it...I think the same guy who first fisted me as it happens. Dunno, it's hazy. - For me I don't think intimacy has much to do with it given my past lifestyle although intimacy might be borne from the behaviour of a partner, respect and care etc. Eroticism is a big thing too. - As for twisted sex...I get that. For me it's the all out dirty hot sweaty, generally very messy and totally exhausting sex that makes me think "wow". Unfortunately it was rare before and now is non-existant but I've got some amazing memories. The sort of sex where you look like you've drunk several bottles of wine after. Totally exhausting and totally satisfying. Missing it now! I don't think that liking perverted sex is different, I think it's the quest to find someone where it clicks so well that nothing is out of bounds and you just don't think about what you're doing because you're too busy doing it...in fact now I've written it and thought about it I'm 99% convinced that this is the key, it's not how perverted or kinky it is its the fact that you have to click with someone to do it and thats what makes it so good. Vanilla sex can be as mindblowing when the same connection is there so it has to be that chemistry rather than the actions... -
