I can see how you can interpret the first passage as anal sex, although I don't think it actually is.

I think it's just incredibly poetic language, and that the shame is all about having sex with a man who isn't her husband and that the getting to the heart of it stuff and the bowels etc, is more about her learning to accept her carnal side and really getting into enjoying a thorough fucking.

Although, I do like the idea of Lady Chatterly and Mellors really getting into it, and her enjoying a good buggering. It certainly adds some spice to the story. Also, don't worry about your dirty mind. There's nothing wrong with an aristocratic lady having fun butt sex with her groundsman, as long as it's all consensual.

She's already abandoned her class and husband, so what's a little anal? The elite have no defense against the earthy proletariat.

Thanks for the thoughtful response! Ha yes - regardless of what they're doing, I love the kind of freedom she experiences through sex, it's really beautiful!

Agreed. I'm a sucker for a woman enjoying liberating, filthy sex, for obvious reasons. Especially when she's repressed and has previously denied herself.
