norwegian wood ~ knowing she would

I didn't think that was cryptic at all? It's a new threshold of commitment (by her obviously). New in the sense that internet porn has brought it out in the open.

Still trying to parse this, but you're saying that if a woman allows anal, she's offering you a new level of commitment than simply having sex?

Is there a similar "level of commitment" for guys?

[Queequeg]

A lot of guys just like asses too. The ass is what primates are or were first attracted to. The development of breasts as sexual objects basically involved them looking more like asses.

You can look at an ass doggie style. That doesn't explain penis placement.

And Spellus sucked the fun out of it.

Yes, just like dating, not dating other people, having sex etc. are thresholds. Internet porn opened up the idea of anal to people and people started asking themselves why aren't I do that? And of course the more paranoid "she won't let me but did she let anybody else?" way of thinking. Basically it has moved from a perversion to a exotic sexual act, the gays probably helped move this along as well since anal is their version of missionary.

As for the similar "level of commitment". That all depends on the "exchange rate". It probably varies from "remembering her name" to "adopting her first two kids from a previous marriage" depending on the self image and idea of self worth of the parties involved.

that because after going upright humans moved from doggie to missionary and us men are just so visual about everything....

There are a very finite number of combinations when it comes to sex. There are only a certain number of different things available to do with the equipment we were born with.

So we (meaning people in general) pretty much try just about all the combos available.

Anal is the combo least likely to be acceptable, and hence the most "desirable" from a taboo standpoint.

Before oral was so acceptable it has become pretty much "normal", that was probably considered more of a big deal.

  So people didn't know about it until internet porn?

I don't think commitment is the right word.  Intimacy or vulnerability.

I think internet porn made it a more approachable topic. Obviously, it happened before then, but it wasn't as open a topic when I was in college as it seems to be now.

Is it really so much the internet, per se, or just the general liberalization of society.  Similar to discussions about oral when I was in college vs. when my mother was in college.

It seemed to be about as much of an open topic during my college years (early to mid 90s) as it does now.

There seems to be an age thing. If she is 5 or more years younger than me she gives oral on her own initiative. If she is older than that she doesn't. I suspect that there is a further age limit where the same applies to anal.
