Anal sex has been the object of unprecedented recent media visibility; however, media discourses of anal sex are still largely unstudied. This study explores the representations of anal sex in available online on the magazine's website. Anal sex, mostly equated with heterosexual anal intercourse, is presented as trendy and popular, as well as potentially pleasurable and intimate. The articles pervasively characterise anal sex as a sexual activity that demands preparation, providing women with tips and techniques allegedly indispensable for a safe and pleasurable (or at least painless) practice of anal sex. The discourses offered are deeply gendered, however, picturing anal sex as a male obsession, and sometimes an expression of power and male conquest. Women's own experiences are portrayed in a more nuanced and heterogeneous way, combining narratives of pleasure and pain, personal initiative and coercion. Although women's individual right to refuse anal sex is often stressed, male pressure is naturalised, and certain dimensions of constraint in heterosexual interaction are normalised.
肛交成为近期媒体前所未有的关注焦点；然而，对于肛交的媒体话语研究仍然很少。本研究探讨了杂志网站上提供的在线文章中对肛交的描述。肛交，主要等同于异性恋肛交，被描述为时尚和流行，也可能是愉悦和亲密的。这些文章普遍将肛交描述为一种需要准备的性行为，为女性提供了据称对于安全和愉悦（或至少无痛）的肛交实践必不可少的技巧。提供的论述具有深刻的性别特征，将肛交描绘为男性的痴迷，有时是权力和男性征服的表现。然而，女性自身的经历以更细微和多样化的方式被描绘，结合了愉悦和痛苦、个人主动和强迫的叙述。尽管女性拒绝肛交的个人权利经常被强调，但男性的压力被视为自然，异性恋互动中某些约束的维度被视为正常。
