Gwyneth Paltrow has often posted shocking content on her website Goop (like the time she suggested putting crystal eggs in your vagina), but this article might just take the cake.
This week for Goopโs โSex Issueโ, she sat down in conversation with psychoanalyst and author Paul Joannides, Psy. D. about the history, tips and tricks of anal sex.
โFirst it was shocking, then it was having a cultural moment, now itโs practically standard in the modern bedroom repertoireโor so a quick scan of any media, from porn to HBO, will tell you,โ the article explains.
They discuss anal sex in heterosexual relationships, the health risks and how to prevent them and how people orgasm from anal stimulation.
The article even includes a question about โwhat we should tell our kids about analโ, and Joannides raises a good point.
โWe donโt tell them about the clitoris, about womenโs orgasms, about masturbation, about the importance of exploring a partnerโs body, and learning from each other.
โWe donโt tell them that much of what they see in porn is unreal, and we donโt talk to them about the importance of mutual consent.
โSo I donโt see anal being at the top of most parentsโ โshould talk to our kids aboutโ lists. There are more important things we need to be talking about first.
