Safe Anal For Gay Partners
Q: I’m a young male, and I am part of a gay couple. We are both virgins, but we are going to initiate our sexual lives together when we feel that it’s the right moment. My question is, what are the healthcare and hygiene precautions that we must take for anal sex? I’m referring to things like if it’s really necessary to use condoms, how do I know that I’m clean, etc.
A: If you have never had sexual activity that involved your genitals or the exchange of bodily fluids then it is unlikely that either of you has a sexually transmitted infection. To prepare for anal sex, some people like to use an anal douche to make sure there is no fecal matter in the rectum—although as long as you don’t have to have a bowel movement, and you have washed with soap and water, your rectum should be clean and clear. You may want to practice with the insertion of a finger and maybe a butt plug smaller than your partner’s penis. Before you engage in anal intercourse, it is important to be relaxed, and you must use lots of lubricant. The tissues in the rectum are thinner than a vagina and are more prone to small tears. So go slow and talk to each other to check in with each other to see how you feel. Using a condom is a good idea to be safe, especially if either of you will have sex with anyone else.
Safe Anal Sex For Hetero Partners
Q: I appreciate that Pornhub has introduced a sexual wellness center, which would be very helpful for us. I am very concerned and curious about the diseases or problems we may get after having anal sex. I am very much into anal sex, but with women. I am not gay. So, I would like you to help me out in this regard and tell me if there’s any danger or harm or anything regarding this kind of sex.
A: Enjoying anal intercourse is not a “gay” thing at all. In fact, over 40% of straight people have tried it. If practiced safely and with a willing partner who finds this pleasurable—not all women find anal intercourse pleasurable—then it is not a problem. Some basic tips for practicing anal sex include a recipient who is relaxed, using lots of lubrication, never going from anus to vagina, and using a condom. If you do not use a condom, there is a risk of transmitting an infection to your partner. The rectum is more prone to small cuts as it is not as elastic as a vagina and therefore riskier. If both of you have been tested and are in a monogamous relationship, then this is less of a concern.
Anal and Vaginal Sex Combo
Q: I’m a married man with two children. I want to have sex with my wife every night as it gives me pleasure, relaxes me, and is a form of physical exercise—not to mention that it’s great for our relationship. But the more we have sex, the enjoyment has decreased and my wife has trouble feeling anything, maybe she’s loose from too much sex. She only has two or three orgasms in a month. We started doing a combination of vaginal and anal without any condoms or lubrication. Is it okay to mix anal and vaginal sex? My only sexual partner is my wife.
A: Vaginas don’t loosen with regular sexual activity. However, childbirth and age does weaken the vaginal muscles. Are you sure your wife is not feeling pleasure because of this or some other reason? Does she get aroused with foreplay, or is she just having sex for you? This is something to think about.
As for the anal vaginal combo of sexual play, it’s fine, as long as your partner is into it too. You must never go from the anus to the vagina, however, as you risk spreading bacteria. Anal intercourse should also only be done with lots of lubricant, as the anus does not lubricate like the vagina. Make sure your partner is enjoying it also, as she needs to be relaxed to have anal intercourse. Make sure you check with her to see that she is not feeling any pain.
