Focus group methods were used to explore heterosexual women's receptive anal sex attitudes and motivations. Behaviors under investigation included penile-anal intercourse (PAI), manual-anal stimulation, oral-anal contact, and the use of sex toys. A total of 33 self-identified heterosexual women ages 18 to 30 recruited from two metropolitan areas in the Midwestern United States participated in one of six focus groups. The findings suggest that women viewed heterosexual anal sex as an emerging norm. Attitudes and motivations were complex and varied by behavior. Dominant themes included curiosity, pain, pleasure, and stigma. Relational factors, including acquiescence, coercion, and consent, were also salient among participants. Factors that influence anal sexual behaviors may not be entirely distinct from those that influence other sexual behaviors; however, factors that influence anal intercourse may be distinct from those that influence nonintercourse anal sex. Improved understanding will allow scientists to better understand the integration of anal sex behaviors into the broader sexual repertoire.
采用焦点小组方法探讨异性恋女性接受肛交的态度和动机。研究行为包括阴茎-肛门性交（PAI）、手动-肛门刺激、口腔-肛门接触和性玩具的使用。总共招募了 33 名自认为是异性恋的 18 至 30 岁的女性，她们来自美国中西部的两个大都市区，参加了六个焦点小组中的一个。研究结果表明，女性将异性恋肛交视为一种新兴规范。态度和动机因行为而异，复杂多样。主导主题包括好奇心、疼痛、愉悦和耻辱。在参与者中，关系因素，包括默许、强迫和同意，也很突出。影响肛交行为的因素可能与影响其他性行为的因素不完全不同；然而，影响性交的因素可能与影响非性交肛交的因素不同。深入了解将使科学家能够更好地理解肛交行为融入更广泛的性行为范围。
