Anal sex - is it safe?

Well really im just concerned bcoz my boyfriend of 4 years really wants to try anal but im scared to do it incase its not safe. Can i get an infection?

Hey Nina, If you are going to have anal sex, then you need to make sure that he doesn't withdraw from the anus and put it elsewhere, because there is a risk of serious infection. Also, you shouldn't be having anal sex without a condom because it isn't worth the risk to either partner. Unlike the vagina, there is no lubrication, so you will definately need some lubrication - and the more the better. Remember not to use oil based lubricants though, because they will degrade the condom and could make it useless. Pre-lubricated condoms are typically unsuitable for anal sex - there simply isn't enough lubricant for this kind of job! To start with, your partner won't be able to enter you straight away, so you will need to work the orifice a bit with something smaller than his todger (fingers perhaps). The woman should also have a complete bowel movement before the activity takes place as well, otherwise the guy may find that he encounters some unexpected problems on entry. There's lots of things to learn about this topic, but however concerned you are about it now, you may actually find that taking the right precautions, and being relaxed about the whole think may lead to some real enjoyment! Best of luck Nina...

Hi Nina I will be honest with you!!!Anal is not for entering dicks in it its for shitting you know... Its not design to be fucked around as it has so thin layers not like the pussy... oh and it fucking hURTS

do anything your most comfortable with

I wouldnt have anal. Ive had it, and its good at the time, but can cause cancer of the colon and if not careful can damage the anus. It can also cause irritable bowel syndrome, and can cause tissues to collapse, in
