How do you handle the earthier aspects of anal intercourse? Or what is your opinion about how it should be handled?

Do it make it more safer if'n some of my cousins is my brothers and sisters too?

What makes it safe is that my cousins' other cousins are only havin' sex with all their own cousins too.

It's a closed loop until someone goes for the sheep.

All gud here. We got goats.

In the story I'm half way through writing, the girl has a waxy substance made from a mix of lanolin, butter, and kelp, with a little lavender to hide the smell. It's given to her by her mother with instructions to pop a little nugget up whenever she wants anal sex.

What men must realise is our bottoms are always sparkling clean and free from dangleberries and tagnuts. A lady simply does not hide a little present up there either, pooping is what puppies do, not ladies.

I always include at least an allusion to preparation before anal and also cleaning up afterward. Because people should always prepare and clean up. It seems more realistic to me when writers pay attention to those details.

Anal sex seems to find its way into most of my stories. When two people have planned to have sex, I don't go into details of their preparation; it is implied. When spontaneous sex occurs, I have my characters involved in the preparation for anal sex, which, if written well, can be highly erotic. Washing your partner and preparing him/her for the ultimate act can be like bathing and dressing a virgin to be presented to the king to be deflowered.

One feature of my writing is to include all the smells and sounds of sex. Queefs and farts happen; if it does, I mention it not as a fetish, just as a natural byproduct of air being forced into tight spots. As for the smells which in real life are earthy, they are seldom, if ever, offensive. Writing anal sex as it is in real life (not porn life) is far more erotic because the reader can associate it with the inherent awkwardness of the act.

How do you handle it?

I see no reason to be any more fixated on the "earthier aspects" in fiction than is necessary in real life. The fact of the matter is that if both parties have reasonably good hygiene and know what they're doing, thinking about poop doesn't actually have to be a big part of anal sex. If the timing is such that poop is loaded in the proverbial chamber, presumably people won't want to go there at that specific time until the poop is dealt with (unless they have a scat fetish, which is a completely different wheelhouse from just liking anal).

I would find characters imagining anal as being like taking a dump in reverse kind of distracting, due respect to the story mentioned in the OP, b/c the two things would only seem analogous to someone who didn't actually know anything about anal sex. In terms of general philosophy I'm largely with @ShelbyDawn57 -- unless I'm directly depicting a porno shoot in the story, I'm really not that interested in the particulars of how the characters are prepping for the butt stuff and prefer to just get to the sex.

lol

I would find it distracting because it would scream, "this author doesn't know what they're talking about"

It reminds me of a guy in my high school asking a girl whether she thinks about fucking when she uses tampons.

Her reply was hilarious: "No! Do you think about fucking when you take a shit!?"

Also a definite possibility, yeah.
