I only inhabit a few threads here and there, so I hadn’t made any assumptions. But now that you mention it, that sounds right.
It would be great if the staff could give us some statistical data including age and country.

The issue of whether or not women actually enjoy anal sex sometimes comes up, and although it's rarely addressed in studies, I did find one reputable source that has done research on it: the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a United States governmental agency.
It found there are six main reasons women have anal sex:
"49% described situations where the women engaged in anal intercourse because they desired it. In some of these cases, women simply described engaging in anal intercourse because they personally enjoy it: "

And, of course, this doesn't mean that those in some of the other categories didn't enjoy it.

It found there are six main reasons women have anal sex:
1) Desire to avoid vaginal sex (on period, discharge)
2) To please her partner
3) Woman's own desire for anal sex
4) Quid pro quo. Money or drugs in exchange for anal sex
5) Under the influence of drugs or alcohol
6) No consent. Coercion. Did not know she could refuse

So most of the time it's not because the women actually enjoyed it. Sad. Anal is mostly something males enjoy for two reasons - it's tighter for the insertive partner and because of the prostate when they're on the receiving end. There's not much reason to do for females, although some enjoy it. It just doesn't seem like most cis women are into it.
I would love to try it.
Also idk why the queer community are overrepresented in enjoying non-vanilla sexual practices.
I'd do it as the top.
Anal is a grey area when it comes to vanilla vs. kinky, I guess. It seems to be mostly a thing guys want, and it's also associated with domination so there's that aspect, too.

Not at all. Given that 49% of the women engage in it because they like it doesn't mean that those who do it because they have their period don't like it. And liking it when they have their period raises the percentage considerably above 50%. They could very well like it, but not as much as they like vaginal intercourse, so they opt for the more pleasurable vaginal intercourse when they can, and settle for anal intercourse, as much as they like it, when the situation calls for it. It's like liking both apples and oranges, and opt for apples over oranges when you can, but are quite satisfied with oranges when you can't. Just because you prefer apples doesn't mean you don't like oranges.

Your study was just of heterosexual, drug abusing women, and only 32 of them at that:
"A total of 32 women participated in four separate focus groups about heterosexual women’s experiences with anal intercourse. All participants were recruited through an outpatient drug treatment program and a community-based HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STI) testing program; the testing program was located at the Center for Behavioral Research and Services (CBRS), an organized research center of the California State University, Long Beach (CSULB). Women were invited to participate in the focus groups if they were at least 18 years of age and acknowledged having had anal intercourse with a man during a previous interview at CBRS and had past experience of illicit drug use. The majority had participated in some form of outpatient drug treatment, but some of the women had never received formal treatment for their drug use."
You need to find a new study to quote as that one is not applicable to the general population of women. I mean, look at this:
"The most frequently reported reason women offered for engaging in anal intercourse was because they were high (20/32; 62.5 % of participants)."
That does not apply to the vast majority of women. So these are mostly drug addicts having technically non-consensual sex. Most of them weren't having sex because they desired it, which isn't really consensual. In some places, that would be a crime. At the least, it's leaning towards abuse.

Excellent catch!!
And in looking at the actual figures it's obvious the 32 women gave more than one answer (reason), obviously denoting different situations; perhaps a woman had anal sex because she was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and at other times to please her herself, while at even other times because she was on her period. So while all participants were in an outpatient drug treatment program, which is obviously why the percentages for that reason are skewed as high as they are, it only lends more substance to the other five reasons.
1) Desire to avoid vaginal sex (on period, discharge) .............. (3/32; 9 %)
2) To please her partner............................................................. (9/32; 28 %)
3) Woman's own desire for anal sex.......................................... (15/32; 49 %)
4) Quid pro quo. Money or drugs in exchange for anal sex....... (12/32; 37.5 %)
5) Under the influence of drugs or alcohol.................................. (20/32; 62.5 %)
6) No consent. Coercion. Did not know she could refuse........... (17/32; 53 %) + (7/32; 22 %)
That's 76 reasons from of 32 women. (261% )
Well, more than a third, 37.5%, is quite a substantial number who don't. If just 5 women (16% of the 32) had not listed drugs and alcohol as a reason, more than half (17) of these women under drug rehabilitation wouldn't have had your technically non-consensual sex.

Five years ago I posted the following chart in the Eros Room under the title
"Anal sex, a go or no-go?"
and took a poll with the following options
Curious to see if anything has changed in five years, I'm asking the same question today. After the thread here seems to have run its course I'll reveal the old figures.
Anal sex
I have engaged in anal sex and liked it
I have not engaged in anal sex but would like to try it
I have not and would not like to engage in anal sex
I have engaged in anal sex and would not like to do it again
(Unfortunately, the original source for the chart no longer exists)
WOW you got issues. You really spent 5 years tracking anal sex? Sad
Just in case no one has mentioned it yet.....
Did you hear about the prostitute with the colostomy?

Now she makes a little money on the side.

"Nitpicking"? I only presented the simple facts as given. But if that's too much, fine.
