Conclusion
like other forms of sexual expression, analism is a distinct and viable adjunct to the total scheme of man and woman. It need not be considered a perversity or an aberration. We freely admit that the case histories presented in this volume have dealt with the extreme varieties of analism in the context of a seemingly national persuasion toward sex-swapping among married couples in all walks of life. This volume should be considered, by the knowledgeable and intelligent reader, not to be a condemnation of such practices and those individuals, but rather a guide to psychosexual problem areas which can, and may, arise in this time of relative sexual freedom.
To be bold: analism is no more a sin than alleged "normal" coitus. If one considers sex a sin and, therefore, immoral, all manners, methods, and positions of sex are immoral. No one position is any more holy than another. Since the days of Freud, we, as a rational people, have learned to respect the edict that "man is an unfathomable creature, richer for his anachronisms than his God-like strictures."
No man-all-wise, and with a philosophy all-encompassing-could fail to realize the vital impact and "mportance of sexual variety between consenting adults. Volumes have been written and more volumes will be written. The taboo is no longer sacrosanct. When we can, as we must, talk openly about sexual mores and methods, we must not fail to venture into those fields hitherto unrecorded. Analism, in conjunction with sex-swapping, is one of the more poignant.
We condemn neither analism nor sex-swapping. Nor do we recommend them. We have merely attempted to show the correlation between the two and the infusion of one into the other. By offering examples of this correlation-which, admittedly, are more intensely active than the average-we hope to spotlight the myths and misconceptions that surround and infuse this little known area of sexual reality.
