Yeah, that's always amused me, too. It's not active anal sex these men fear, it's passive. Being the fuck-ee instead of the fuck-er means giving up a power position, and they're afraid of that.
Women, on the other hand, usually just have a fear of the ick factor. Regular ol' PIV sex is icky and messy enough. No sense in making it worse.
Of course, from my point of view, I don't understand why "sex" is nearly always defined as some sort of tab a into slot b anyway. There are hundreds of very fun sexual activities that don't involve phalluses going into orifices.
