Q - Dear Annabelle,
My boyfriend and I have been seeing each other for over a year and I am not new to anal sex. In fact, I had my first encounter with anal sex while in high school. My partner at that time was my age and didn't know any more about it than I did, (which was nothing at all), so of course it really hurt.
I tried it again with my next boyfriend and, fortunately, he was older and much more
experienced and was very patient with me. I was more stimulated than ever and found that I could have multiple orgasms with anal sex. It has become a very normal
part of our sexual activity. My partner is really turned on by this and wants to start to break me into Īfistingā. I'm willing to try but, before I do this, can you tell me if there are any health risks?
A - Dear Kathren,
There are very definite health risks with anal sex. The membranes of the digestive tract are semi-permeable -- in both directions, i.e., not only are the colon and rectal tissues used by the body for 'throwing out the body's trash' as it were, but anything that is needed, (or even not needed), can be absorbed INTO the body. These tissues are delicate and not meant for the pummeling contact associated with the activity
you describe.
If all of your partners are absolutely free of any and all microbial, bacterial and viral infections, there may be no more problems than simple contusions, tearing of the tissues and capillary rupture. However, if any adventurous virus is present it will now have a new and welcoming home -- and you will have become the equivalent of the local delicatessan to a panoply of unpleasant and possible permanently invasive critters.
The pubic/anal area is replete with nerve endings, which is why you are finding this to be a positive experience. Just be aware that it may also prove to be a deadly one.
