I have a question that has been a constant source of confusion to myself and my husband. We do not take part in anal sex but I do enjoy anal stimulation (my husband will insert a finger as part of foreplay). This act is always followed by vaginal sex with the intent of becoming pregnant. But we do not know if this is OK or not. Please let me know ASAP! Thank you and God bless!

Answer
Last Updated: October 21, 2013
Dear Cathy,
The quick answer to your question is ‘no’, there is nothing inherently wrong with your husband stimulating you in that way during foreplay. There would be something wrong if one of you was making the other do something he/she did not want to do, or if one of you was simply using the other for their own pleasure. It sounds like you have things in their proper context.
God bless,
