5 Dangerous Negative Side Effects Of Anal Sex
If you’re curious about anal sex, it’s important to be prepared before your next bedroom romp. Following proper precautions — which we’ll get to — is the only way to reduce your risk of injury or illness. And when you feel confident, you’re more likely to enjoy the experience.
1- Only the vagina, the anus has bacteria
An STI isn’t the only thing you have to worry about sharing with anal sex. Bacteria living in or near the anus can be easily spread if you don’t take precautions to tidy up after anal penetration.
If you’re wearing a condom, be sure to remove it and roll on a new one before moving on to vaginal sex. If you’re not wearing a condom or if you’re using your hands or a toy, be sure to wash thoroughly after anal sex. Bacteria, such as hepatitis A and E. coli, can be spread from unclean anal sex practices.
2- Anal Sex Is The Dangerous Type Of Sex
According to the Center for Disease Control, anal sex is the riskiest type of sex that people can have. One of the major dangers of anal sex is how easily it can be to contract and transmit HIV when having it. Because the anus doesn't naturally produce lubrication and the skin in this area is very thin, anus tears are basically welcome mats for HIV, HPV, and other STIs.
"It's important to remember that STDs can be transmitted through anal sex as well as vaginal sex," Dr. Jennifer Caudle, a family physician and assistant professor at Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine, tells Bustle.
Because of this, condom use is a must in helping to prevent transmission and contraction of all STIs, especially HIV.
3- Anus was designed to hold in feces
The anus was designed to hold in feces. The anus is surrounded with a ring-like muscle, called the anal sphincter, which tightens after we defecate. When the muscle is tight, anal penetration can be painful and difficult. Repetitive anal sex may lead to weakening of the anal sphincter, making it difficult to hold in feces until you can get to the toilet. However, Kegel exercises to strengthen the sphincter may help prevent this problem or correct it.
4- There's Increased Risk
"One concern about anal sex is related to the transmission of HPV. Certain strains of HPV do cause cancer, and with anal intercourse, HPV infections in this area can lead to anal cancer. There have been studies documenting that people who have had anal penetration by multiple partners are more likely to develop carcinoma of the anus, so be monogamous and use a condom. Other reasons to proceed with caution with anal sex is the risk of infection with E. coli. You can also develop urinary tract infections, as well as infections of the bowel from anal intercourse. Repetitive tearing and injury to muscles of the anus can affect someone's ability to control their bowel movements, and can result in fecal incontinence or inability to hold stool effectively inside, until they make it to the bathroom. Although not common, a more serious injury such as a penetration or tear in the colon or bowel can occur, which would require an invasive surgery to correct." —Karen Elizabeth Boyle, M.D., FACS
5- Anal Sex Experience Pain
New research published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that 30 percent of women experience pain during vaginal sex, and the majority of them experience this discomfort inside their vagina or around the vaginal entrance. The pain could be caused by a number of things, from not being wet enough to having vigorous, thrusting sex, says Herbenick, a co-author of the study.
If the pain doesn’t stem from an underlying issue—such as a yeast infection or vulvodynia—the fix may be relatively simple. “If something really hurts, speak up and take a break from sex,” says Herbenick. A water-based lubricant or switching positions could also be a fix, she says. (New to lube? Check out The Best Lube for Any Sex Scenario.
