What is Greek Sex?

Greek sex is synonymous with anal sex and comes from ancient Greece. It is considered to be the origin of today’s traffic. The penis is not inserted into the vagina, but the anus. Properly done, it is a great pleasure for both partners.

So, why were the ancient Greeks so far ahead of us in terms of their sex life back then, and how can you incorporate Greek sex into your love life – well, you will find out in this blog article.


Sex practice at a glance

  • Greek sex = anal sex
  • Ancient Greeks were sexually very dirty
  • Coming through anal – 94% of all women

First of all: every person can enjoy anal. Whether you’re hetero, gay (the best gay sex positions here) or bisexual, it really doesn’t matter since anatomically we are all made for Greek – put simply, everyone has an anus!

Clearly at first one thinks of the penetration from penis to buttock – but anal can also be done with sex toys, fingers or even the tongue. So there are various different types of stimulation that you or your partner will most likely like. This can work wonders for your sex lives.

How does Greek Sex work?

“With Anal, the fun stops!” – many people think this way, or something similar, and it is usually either out of ignorance, fear or even a bad experience. Often it is women, or the passive person, who is afraid of Greek sex.  

No wonder then, that for many men it remains an unfulfilled wish in the relationship. This can endanger sexual attractiveness in the long run. Similar to when no good blowjobs are given. So to ensure that this doesn’t happen, it should be approached very carefully. Therefore, start to explore the area very carefully to begin with.  

This may feel weird at first. However, the anus is very sensitive and an external (and later inner) stimulation that can create some really great feelings of pleasure and intimacy.

If your partner doesn’t like it, then take a few steps back and talk about the topic with her or him beforehand.  In Greek sex there is always a dominant and a passive part. It is important to know that both partners can experience pleasure during penetration. However, it can take a long time to get used to the feeling. Assume that it doesn’t go perfectly the first time. But don’t let that bother you – remember, practice makes perfect! 

Does Greek Sex lead to orgasm?

Short answer – yes! An orgasm can occur during anal intercourse. There are even some studies that concluded that it is easier than with vaginal sex.

It definitely helps if the woman is stimulated during penetration (of course), usually on her clitoris.

Where does the name Greek Sex come from?

Greek sex was an ordinary practice even in antiquity. Generally, many things were completely normal at the time of the ancient Greeks, which are also normal for us today, e.g. proper fingering. But also other things that are hard to imagine for us today. On the other hand, “boring sex”, like the starfish position, was not particularly high on the agenda.

A man in ancient Greece was considered  strong, dominant, even heroic. To be a complete man, regular sex was also part of that being. Interestingly, masturbation was also very normal at that time and was not frowned upon, as happens through the Church, for example.

However, it was more of a tool to unload his “energies” when there was no sexual partner. In higher circles, therefore, it was used less. The Ancient Greeks were usually married to much younger women (minors). Hardly compatible with our understanding today, particularly when it comes to self control. 

At that time sexual orientation was less of an issue, and there was no separation between hetero-homosexual and homosexuality. On the contrary, most people participated in sex with both male and female partners. However, there was always the separation between the dominant partner and the submissive partner.

That means a tough Spartan, as we know him from movies like 300, most likely had regular sex with other men. But he was the penetrating (i.e. dominant) part. On the other hand, it would be very socially reprehensible. The passive part was therefore usually a younger man (often minors) – a kind of toyboy. But if he got older himself, that is a “man”, so the dynamic would often change.

Back to Greek sex…..

The ancient Greeks quickly noticed that they were hungry for anal sex. Of course, they had no inhibitions to enforce their desire, and so we still speak today of ‘Greek sex’.

This is what you should pay attention to when ex-anal

Be aware when it comes to penetration for the first time, and your partner is quasi “Anal-Virgin” it takes some time until it gets right to the point. Definitely use a lubricant of your choice to help you. If you have penetrated, the sphincter and intestinal tract must first get used to it. That’s why it can make sense to use sex toys, such as or your fingers, to warm up. If you use these tips, you can have great anal sex without pain.

As a man, be aware that your erection for Greek sex must be very solid at the beginning, otherwise you threaten to slip. This quickly creates frustration (particularly in your sexual relationships). Since you have to be very careful, the process can last several minutes without you experiencing a notable stimulation.

How to prepare for Greek Sex

If you plan to try anal it is always wise to plan it out properly. First of all, it is important that the intestine is emptied beforehand. Otherwise, there may be very unpleasant surprises! When this is done, the anus and intestines should be thoroughly washed. You can of course just do this while showering. But remember to go to the toilet beforehand.

The final step is shaving. Of course, this is not a must, but aesthetics always play a part. And a hairy ass is never beautiful. It is also important if you also want to be stimulated orally.

Prevention of venereal diseases

Don’t forget the risk of Greek sex! As with all types of sex, you can catch sexually transmitted infections through anal. In fact, the chance of Greek sex practice has been increased once again. The problem is the eliminated risk of pregnancy. Why do so many people not have adequate contraception? If you don’t know your partner well, you should definitely use a condom.

Of course, it makes the procedure even more difficult, because it glides less naturally. However, you are always better to be on the safe side. So especially as a passive part, make sure that your partner uses a rubber, because you are most at risk here!

If you are in a fixed relationship, you should definitely be tested for STI’s. Note that an HIV test works with a time delay of 6 weeks. So if you were infected the day before the test, the test will still be negative.

Prostate stimulation – pamper your partner

If you want to satisfy your partner, there is a (still) quite unknown way over the prostate. You will find it with your finger about 5 to 7 centimeters in the anus towards the center of the body.

Light pressure movements can lead to a quick orgasm. This is because the prostate is significantly involved in the production of the sperm.

Also properly freeing is the Anilingus (Rimming). The anus and therefore the tongue is pampered.

Safety for women

When having Greek sex with women, you have to pay attention to some important things.

Never use your fingers to stimulate the anus first and then (with the same fingers) the vagina. Small pieces of faeces (not visible) can enter the vagina. This can lead to urinary tract infections.
