Additional Thoughts on Sodomy

The invasive and occupying character of the penetrating penis is often signified by the participants' facial expressions; both parties may frown or grimace, for example, the penetrating party with concentration and determination, the penetrated participant with discomfort. Although anal intercourse is often voluntary, it may resemble coerced sex. Because of the resistance of the anus, however brief and slight, and the force, however short-lived and small, required to penetrate the orifice, the act of penetration might appear to be effected through violence, even when it is welcome and enjoyable to both participants, and the apparent resistance and force are apt to add excitement to the viewing of the act by both its participants and any third party who might act as a voyeur (such as, for example, the viewer or the reader).

Of course, sounds--moans, groans, gasps, cries--likewise further enhance the illusion that the impaled party is being assaulted, even when he or she is not, adding to the excitement of the act. In watching (or reading) scenes of anal intercourse, one cannot help but to imagine that the penetrated party is being subjected to violence; the penis, after all, is both stiff and thick, and it is being plunged repeatedly through the penetrated participant's impaled anus, often deeply into his or her bowels. The erect member seems to stab the impaled party again and again, often with increasing speed and force.

Although some (perhaps most) men and women find sucking a cock to be emotionally as well as physically satisfying, some also regard this activity as being both degrading and humiliating to the cocksucker. Even if one does happen to regard cocksucking to be degrading and humiliating to the cocksucker, he or she is apt to agree that the cocksucker can (unless he or she assumes a completely passive attitude), at least, control the depth to which he or she takes the penis into his or her mouth or throat.

For example, the cocksucker can interpose his or her fist between the lower portion of the penis and his or her own mouth, thereby creating a buffer, so to speak, between the two.
