When it comes to anal, there is no silly question, even because many people do not practice precisely because of lack of information.
That’s why, as a sexologist, I’ve separated the 13 most common questions about anal on the internet with answers without taboos : Is anal sex pregnant? Do you need to use a condom? Does it always hurt? These and other questions will be answered here. Come on!
1- Does anal sex make you pregnant?
You can rest assured, that doesn’t happen, anal penetration has nothing to do with pregnancy! That’s because the channel that takes the sperm to the uterus is the vaginal and not the anal.
The only risk is if there is ejaculation in the anus and the sperm flow into the vagina – this in itself is an excellent reason to use a condom and cleanse yourself correctly after sex.
And if you think this question is meaningless, know that about 3 thousand searches are done every month on Google to clarify it. That is, what is obvious to some may not be obvious to others and that’s okay. Each person has their own learning and knowledge process, when it comes to sex, it’s really bad to be in doubt.
2- Is anal sex nice?
Not everyone enjoys the practice, but if you feel like it, I encourage you to try it because, when it’s done well, it’s delicious. In fact, the cis woman or other people with a vulva can, yes, feel a lot of pleasure with anal penetration.
Pleasure depends on a number of factors such as partnership, will, lubrication, sensitivity, position, whether you are relaxed, etc.
3- Does anal sex need a condom?
The use of condoms is SUPER RECOMMENDED in anal sex. The condom, in addition to the appropriate lubricant, protects the penis from any infection caused by contact with bacteria in the anus.
Not to mention that condoms are the only type of protection against Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). Did you know that even in oral sex condoms are essential? That’s right, I explain everything in this post !
4- Can anal sex hurt?
Penetration can hurt when done improperly: without lubrication, with tension, without confidence. When the person being penetrated is very aroused, relaxed and trusting in their partner, anal sex has everything to be amazing.
So, if anything is not according to your desire, stop and start again only when you are in the mood and at ease. Forced sex of any kind is not good and you have the right to change your mind at any time!
5- Is anal sex disgusting or stinky?
Anything you do in your anus will stink, indeed! After all, the anus is not a place where flowers come out.
What you can do to lessen the bad smell and possible faeces during penetration is to wash your anus well before intercourse and avoid doing anal until 4 hours after going to the bathroom – see in detail my tips on how to do chuca.
But that’s anal sex, whoever is in the rain is to get wet, have a sincere chat with your partner about the subject so you don’t get embarrassed if there is any “escape” during the coming and going.
6- Can I get an STI while having anal sex?
Yes, and in addition to STIs, you run the risk of getting some other infection if you don’t protect yourself. That’s why it’s very important to know your partner well, keep the exams up to date and, above all, always use condoms.
It is not because anal penetration does not make you pregnant that condoms are expendable!
7- If I have anal sex, am I still a virgin?
There is no consensus on this. Some people consider that, yes, you are still a “virgin” because the hymen has not been broken – which applies to people with a vulva.
On the other hand, there are people who consider any type of penetration, even oral sex, the end of virginity. That’s because, as I’ve explained here on the blog, virginity is a cultural concept and is “lost” according to each person’s belief.
For cis gay men, for example, anal can be the main experience in the initiation of sexual life, so they may consider losing their virginity the first time they practice. Therefore, I reinforce that virginity varies from person to person and it is up to you to understand what makes sense to you or not.
8- Does anal sex burst the folds of the anus?
This is an absurd lie! As with vaginal penetration, what happens during anal penetration is the dilation of the anus for the passage of the penis. After intercourse, dilation decreases and the anus returns to its natural size.
Using an anal plug to facilitate the dilation process is an excellent way to prepare for penetration. Understand how this is possible with my post on how to use anal plug.
9- Is bleeding during anal sex normal?
It can happen in small amounts, but it can also be avoided with the use of lots of lubricant, condoms and patience. If it bleeds a little, don’t worry, it will pass and go back to normal.
Now, if it’s a large amount or even a bleeding that doesn’t go away, see a doctor immediately.
10- Why do men want anal sex so much?
There are several theories, such as that the man likes to feel dominant and the anal gives him that, or even the fetish of doing something different, forbidden and exploring something new.
Either way, anal sex seems to be becoming more and more common in relationships. It is no longer a big taboo in society with more and more people discovering the pleasure of this practice.
And more than that, many women are proposing the practice and embracing this desire within heterosexual relationships. After all, anal penetration is not just a desire for straight cis men, right? Everyone who wants to can have a lot of pleasure in cool.
11- Can anal sex cause haemorrhoids?
According to experts, anal practice without the necessary lubrication can cause anal fissures, but not necessarily haemorrhoids. There are doctors who point out that, from a predisposition or an existing fissure, if anal penetration hurts the region more, haemorrhoids can develop, but these are exceptions.
By taking care of lubrication and respecting the limits of your body, you will be able to enjoy anal sex and avoid injuries.
12- Do men feel pleasure practicing anal sex?
The prostate, considered the G-spot of people with a penis, can be hit by anal penetration, so yes, cis men feel pleasure in the anal, receiving penetration – and straight cis men also include themselves and won’t be any less straight for seeking that kind of pleasure.
Increasingly, they are discovering and coming to terms with this, which causes many straight cis men to seek anal stimulation toys or practices such as pegging along with their partners.
13- Do you have any products that make anal sex easier and more pleasurable?
Yes, there are many products that can help you. The products that I nominate to facilitate penetration are always lubricants, essential in any relationship for two and, especially, in anal practice since the anus has no natural lubrication.
But there are also specific intimate cosmetics for the anal, designed to reduce the sensitivity of the region and make penetration more comfortable:
When choosing to use these products, it is important to be careful not to apply anything that takes away all anal sensitivity. If you don’t feel anything, you won’t feel pleasure or know if penetration is hurting your anus.
