Please bear with the somewhat lengthy introduction here. It's quite relevant to my concluding thoughts. Thanks.
In looking up the Christian position on anal sex I came across the Catholic stance:
And the Protestant stance.
So why have I brought up the subject?
Well, in another thread the fact was brought up that "there are sexually responsive nerve endings located in the anus." I was unaware of this, but informed of the fact I started looking into it and found:
and
"The anus is part of both the male and female sexual system. The external anal sphincter is one of the most sensitive parts of the human body, with one of the densest concentrations of nerve endings. You can get a lot of pleasure out of external anal stimulation without ever going inside."

Wow, who would have thought! I didn't.
So, my question is: Why would god put such an abundance of pleasure-producing nerve endings in the anus unless he intended them to be stimulated, and in turn provide sexual gratification?
I don't necessarily expect a good scientific or theological answer, but would like the reasonable Christian here to evaluate their religion's position on it, particularly in light gay anal sex. If god thinks gay anal sex is sinful, why put all these pleasurable nerve endings in the male anus? Likewise, putting them in a female anus would seem to invite male-female anal sex.
Seems to me something in Christian theology has gone very much awry. My suspicion is that it's a prejudice that arose out of simple revulsion among heterosexuals toward anal sex .
Your thoughts.

Is anal sex ok between a married Christian couple as foreplay?
"5) Bible forbids anal sex
Nowhere in the Bible does it say anal sex is OK, on the other hand Romans 1:24-27 says:

“women exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural, and in the same way also the men, giving up natural intercourse with women…”
Scripture is clearly saying women cannot have “back door” sex. The Bible doesn’t say “it’s only sex if there is a climax.” Using that excuse is kind of like Bill Clinton saying “I didn’t have sex with that woman.”source
Is Anal Sex A Sin?
"Many believers wonder can Christians have anal sex?
Leviticus 18:22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.
Leviticus 20:13 “‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
While it is true Christian couples don’t have a sex limit on what they can and can’t do in regard to sex positions and oral sex. Sex is the male’s penis into a female’s vagina. Anal sex is penis to anus, which is sodomy. You might say, “how about if it’s between husband and wife,” but God didn’t intend men to put their penis inside an anus period.
Can I have anal sex outside of marriage instead of having sex?
No, nothing can be used as a substitute. Sexual immorality is a sin.
Sodomy is anal sex! Its name comes from Sodom and Gomorrah where God destroyed the city because of the homosexuality that was going on there. The anus was not designed for sex, neither is it safe to practice. Even though the Bible doesn’t discuss anal sex between a married couple, from what the Bible does tell us you can see that God intended for the penis to go inside the vagina not the anus. Married couples shouldn’t be having anal sex. We must not take away God’s natural way of doing things.

Well, in another thread the fact was brought up that "there are sexually responsive nerve endings located in the anus." I was unaware of this, but informed of the fact I started looking into it and found:
"The abundance of nerve endings in the anal region and rectum can make anal sex pleasurable for men or women. The internal and external sphincter muscles control the opening and closing of the anus; these muscles, which are sensitive membranes made up of many nerve endings, facilitate pleasure or pain during anal sex.
The anal sphincters are usually tighter than the pelvic muscles of the vagina, which can enhance the sexual pleasure for the inserting male during male-to-female anal intercourse because of the pressure applied to the penis.
