Anal sex is a good way to diversify your intimate life. But in pursuit of new sensations, one should not forget about precautions and just psychological comfort. The fact is that anal sex with an illiterate approach, instead of pleasure, will only add trouble. Want to know more? We invite you to read the review.
STD Risks
With unprotected anal contact, the risks of contracting sexually transmitted diseases are high. This is due to the likelihood of microtrauma of the anus – and it is easy for microorganisms to penetrate through them.
In the intestinal mucosa there are no cells that produce natural lubrication (as in the vagina). This lubricant protects against rubbing, drying out, has a pronounced antimicrobial effect. Plus, the thickness of the rectal mucosa is small. The combination of these factors increases the risk of microcracks, tears, which are associated with increased friction during intercourse. Do not forget about feces – passing through the mucous membrane, it can also infect tissues.
Does that mean you can’t have anal sex? This is not entirely true. You just need to take precautions to reduce the risk of bacterial infections. There is also a high chance of transmitting STDs. You need to be afraid of herpes, HIV, hepatitis, gonorrhea, chlamydia. Pathogens can be transmitted through the natural lubricant of the genitals, semen, blood. During vaginal or oral sex, the risks of infection are much lower.
What to do with hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids are accompanied by expansion, inflammation, tortuosity of the veins that form nodes in the rectum. Itching, soreness, slight bleeding appear. The disease delivers a lot of unpleasant moments in life in general, therefore, it requires treatment.
Anal sex with hemorrhoids, especially exacerbations, is highly discouraged. If the hemorrhoid is damaged, the consequences will be negative, medical assistance may be required. Sharp, fast movements are especially dangerous. They lead to increased pain and itching. To minimize the risks of damage to the nodes and irritation of the rectal mucosa:
- Start slowly. Penetration should be neat, smooth.
- Use plenty of lubricant. It is best to take lubricants specifically for anal sex. They contain regenerating, antibacterial, analgesic components.
- Follow your feelings. If discomfort arises, you need to stop.
- By itself, anal sex does not lead to the development of hemorrhoids – this is a myth.
Fistula of the rectum
Fistula is an extremely rare potential complication, but there are risks. The formation of a fistula begins inside the intestine and ends with an external opening in the perineum. Feces enter the body. The main cause of the fistula is an acute purulent inflammation of the tissues of the rectum, which has become chronic. Then the infection through the ducts of the glands enters the skin. Inflammation of adipose tissue develops. The affected areas suppurate, begin to collapse.
There are a lot of bacteria in the human stool – accordingly, there is an immediate threat of infection of internal tissues and organs. The problem can only be solved surgically. We remind you that a fistula develops extremely rarely due to anal sex.
Consequences of anal sex
If you ignore the precautions, injuries to the mucosa will occur – cracks, ruptures. Especially dangerous are sharp, deep insertions of the penis into a sexy blonde or brunette. Much depends on the relaxation of the muscles of the anus – if it cannot be achieved, injuries are real even with careful movements.
Fecal incontinence is likely only with long-term constant practices. If hygiene is not observed, a woman may develop colpitis.
