For many years the focus of fear and disgust, the anus is actually one of the human body's most wondrous creations-elegant, efficient, and richly supplied with pleasure nerves. However, stress and ignorance can turn the anus and its functions from a source of delight into a painful disability. What's needed is an owner's manual-and here it is! Join therapist and sexologist Jack Morin, Ph.D., on this tour of the anus, complete with information and exercises to open the door to new sources of comfort and gratification. You'll unlearn habits that can cause everything from hemorrhoids to chronic pelvic pain- and, if you choose, learn new ways of achieving solo and partnered pleasures through this humblest of portals.

Format:Paperback
This book is indispensible reading for anybody thinking of exploring anal eroticism in any or all of its forms. Unlike some writers, Morin spends as much time focusing on using fingers, tongues and toys as he does on intercourse, and he emphasizes becoming comfortable with your body and finding out what (if any) forms of anal stimulation *you* enjoy, rather than making yourself feel inadequate for failing to meet external "goals".
But the "health" part of the title shouldn't be ignored - as well as providing invaluable information on how to make anal play safe and fun for all concerned, Morin also covers the general health of this most-maligned area of the body. His guidance on relaxation and care seems as if it would be useful for anyone with IBS, constipation, haemorrhoids or any other anal or related problem, and his mission to remove shame and pain is equally relevant here.
At first, the novice reader may find themselves getting hopelessly giggly when urged to find out what their anuses are trying to tell them. But keep reading - you may find out more than you bargained for.

The "Anal Health" part of the title is no joke. From my late teens I was plagued with stabbing cramps, bleeding, and messier symptoms-- doctors cited stress, irritable bowel syndrome, and had nothing to reccommend but yet more fiber. In a matter of short weeks, the relaxation and muscle control exercises in this book cut down the pain I'd suffered for years. This is a must for any general medical practioner, anyone diagonosed with IBS, and, I'm tempted to say, anyone with a butt.

Third edition? Third edition? Hm. I must have missed something.
Anyhow, I have the second edition. Did I buy it from Amazon? No. That was a long time ago, 1995 or so. I didn't know Mr. Morin put out a new version. It is a serious, no-nonsense approach to a topic that you don't hear in casual conversation. The care, maintenance, and the pleasurable sensations opening up a new world to those too shy to ponder it on their own. Buying through a mail order outfit like Amazon helps with avoiding approaching the store clerk. But SOMEBODY packages this book to send it off to you. Think about it. Just kidding. Highly recommended. Oh yeah, and it's for everyone. Not just gay men, not just men, straight men, and any women, hermaphrodites, whatever. Great work, Jack.
