What he said. Though my favorite position for anal is on my knees - ass up, head down.

HAH, Yes.. that is the story right there. He has a few, many are hilarious.

Success, folks. Thanks for all the tips and tricks. Want the details? Fine:
Magic mix was a nice dinner out, a little bit too much wine for both of us (just a bit too much), a little bit of lube (not Eros, couldn't find it), and position was her on her side with her top knee pulled up, me kneeling straddling her bottom leg. (Great position for normal sex as well, by the way). She liked it, but prefers vaginal. I enjoyed it for a change, but don't see the major appeal. We'll see how it goes with some more time and practice.

Thanks again for the great feedback! You all rock.
