"An estimated 37% of women and 9% of men report receiving anal sex across their lifespan (Herbenick et al., 2015). Despite this, only 24% of men and 14% of women report anal sex as appealing, and 72% of women and 15% of men report pain during anal sex (Herbenick et al., 2015). Anal sex carries health risks such as heightened risk of STD transmission, abrasions, fissures, bleeding and is associated with higher rates of faecal incontinence (Hutton et al., 2013; Markland et al., 2016). Rough sex, which can include whipping and spanking, bondage, hair pulling, verbal aggression or degradation and choking, is also prevalent, rated as appealing by approximately 40% of men and women (Herbenick et al., 2017). Rough sex acts are considered gendered, where women are predominantly the target of rough sex acts and men take a dominant role. For example, in a nationally representative US sample (N = 2,227, 51.73% female), one-fifth of women reported having been choked during sexual activity (Herbenick et al., 2023). Some research has linked the prevalence of rough sex to exposure to violent or aggressive sexual acts in pornography (Herbenick et al., 2021, 2023; Vogels & O'Sullivan, 2019; Wright et al., 2022)."
