Do you think is anal sex harmful to men or women?

Question

DonkeyDan · Accepted Answer

As long as the people involved are well practiced or take it slow and easy if not and use protection if they are not in a relationship and tested, there is no reason for it to be harmful.

When anal sex is harmful is when it's casual, unprotected, and/or rough, anal tears and fissures can occur, increasing the chance of general infections and STIs.

Even in relationships there needs to be a very high level of trust with anal sex.

If done responsibly, there is nothing wrong with it.  foreign or dirty objects, bleeding or tears can’t be good but If done safely it can be a nice experience.

I love phrases like "It's well known..." at the start of misinformation because it saves time I might otherwise waste on reading non-objective opinionated drivel.
As YourLatinLover already hinted, if it is harmful, then you're either doing it wrong or it's just not for you.

Citizenkirk · Answer

Unprotected, definitely. Infections are a reality of unprotected anal penetration, for both partners.

Dargil · Answer

I think it is psychologically for women but I can't back that up.

exitseven · Answer

I heard that if you have a scratch or if you are rubbed raw on your dick it could get infected.

YourLatinLover · Answer

Not if done right!

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Both, that hole is not meant to have anything fuck it, it damages the anus, weakening it's ability to stay sealed throughout the day, and people who have anal sex end up in adult daipers eventually. Anyone saying otherwise is either ignorant, or a liar.

It's not a belief, it's not harmful from a medical standpoint. I asked a practicing gastroenterologist. A large part of their job is colonoscopies. Trust me, if there were any negative effects from anal, they'd ask their patients about it. They don't. In fact there aren't that many doctors that ask about sex. The only two I know of that routinely ask are urologists and OBGYNs.
