Answer:
by Konstance McCaffree: ()
Anal sex isn't really any different for women than it is for men in terms of its safety or danger. The anal area can be very erotic since it is close to the nerve endings of other genital areas. The issue is that the anus was created in the body to be a waste removal area and not for one where something is put into it.
So, if the anal sex that you are talking about is the putting of something in the anus there are some guidelines to follow that make it more safe and less dangerous. (Remember that anal "sex" could also be stimulating the area around the anus without penetration which would not be the same as putting something in the anus. Sex to some doesn't automatically mean penetration but can mean pleasuring.)
The guidelines that are more safe: Since there is little natural lubricant in the anus you must use lots of extra lubricant and it should be water based so that it will wash out easily afterwards. If you use an oil such as vasoline, it will only draw bacteria and trap it there. Infection is highly likely.
Also, nothing should go in the anus that isn't only well lubricated but also covered with a clean latex condom. The condom keeps bacteria from being placed inside which could then grow rapidly. The vagina is set up to attack unwanted bacteria but the anus is not.
Also, the partners involved should go very slowly. The anus does not stretch the ways the muscles of the vagina do, so there can be ripping and tearing.
Hopefully these suggestions will be of some help. You can also ask others for their suggestions and not just rely on my advice. Go to others on the sexualhealth site and see what they suggest.Reviewed by: Patricia Fawver Ph.D. in Sexology
