What is more intimate: vagina or anus?

[uvm2019]

A few of my friends and I were discussing this and I wanted to get some more opinions.

Which is the more intimate or private part of a woman's body: her vagina or her anus? And why did you pick that option?

Opinions will vary. Mine is that the Anus is more intimate. Pooping is very private & personal, and is associated with unpleasant odours. In my experience most women will show their quim much more readily than their rosebud.

When a lover is secure enough to show her anus it generally means she is very much at ease with her man.

And it is a rare woman who will allow her man to penetrate her rosebud. It is certainly a special experience when she does.

By the way, I picked vagina. Everyone has an anus, while only women have vaginas. That alone makes it more intimate.

I would say anus, but my wife feels differently. For those that don't know, my wife was recognized on the internet and a lot of our friends, family and all of her co-workers saw her nude photos. This was a few years ago and a bunch of 3.5" floppy disks were distributed throughout her company. But that is a different story of a spiteful, b*tchy coworker of my wife.
My wife was talking about the whole experience with her best friend. They weren't aware I could hear them talking. The question of most embarrassing photo came up in their conversation. I assumed it would be one of the doggystyle photos. My wife's completely bare pussy and asshole are very prominent and clearly visible in some of those photos. A few were close up and didn't omit any detail of my wife's anatomy!
I was surprised when my wife told her friend that a photo of her lying on the bed spreading her pussy was the most embarrassing photo. She said the photo was especially embarrassing because she was lying naked on the bed with her legs spread wide open. She is looking directly into the camera with a wide smile on her face. She has a hand on either side of her shaved pussy, spreading it wide open! I knew exactly which photo she was talking about from her description.
Apparently the resulting photo of her wide open pussy really embarrassed her. She was embarrassed all of her coworkers, her weirdo boss and a lot of our friends and family had seen her showing a ton of pink. She was also embarrassed many people had their own private copies of her photos. She said she couldn't believe she had essentially spread her pussy for everyone in town. And she had, I remember for quite a while after she had been found out, going to the grocery store was interesting. Random dudes would tap each other's shoulder and point at my wife. Old guys would walk by us with the biggest shit eating grin on their faces. Worst was the old ladies, they would absolutely scowl at my wife. No one ever said anything around me, but I know a few women made comments to her when I wasn't around.

That's an interesting point. However, I think it reinforces the "anus" side of the argument. I would be interested to read what other guys have to say about this, but here is my take.

In the right context I have no problem with my cock and balls being seen. For example, I could spend many hours at Rio's Spa in North London completely naked and enjoy the experience. Folks can look all they like. But I would never consider bending over and exposing my rosebud.

In a relationship, the first few times the lady and I have sex she could have at it with my cock to her hearts content. Much as I enjoy anal play, arguably my rosebud is as sensitive as my cock, I would want us to become comfortable together before back door play. It might be a month into physical intimacy before we crossed that frontier.
