What are the risks of anal intercourse?

Since the lining of the anus is very thin and can tear easily, it is much easier for a person to be exposed to a sexually transmitted disease during anal sex, if one partner is infected. Also, when a guy inserts his penis into a female partner’s anus, and he ejaculates, the semen can drip into the vaginal opening, increasing her risk of becoming pregnant.

For these reasons, it is very important to ALWAYS use a lubricated latex or polyurethane condom for anal intercourse. A penis or object should NEVER be inserted into the vagina after it has been inside the anus, without washing the penis or object first. Rectal bacteria can be very harmful if it gets inside the vagina.

Anal sex can be one of the riskiest forms of sex as far as
STDs are concerned. I would certainly suggest that both you
and you partner get tested. If you need to find a local
clinic, check out this link:
http://www.sexetc.org/page/get_tested/. She should just
keep an eye out for any signs of infection as well. The
bacteria that could be on your penis from the anal sex could
cause an infection in her vagina. Condoms are always
recommended if anal sex is in your plans!

Just had anal sex but didn't use any protection. Should we
be worried? Nothing ripped and we used lube. what should we
be lookin for? Also had vaginal sex without cleaning.

That will be effective if none of the sperm got near your
vagina, but if it did, rolling over may not help. Remember,
accidents do happen. I also concerned because not using a
condom or some kind of latex barrier during anal sex can put
you at high risk for transmission of STDs, including HIV.
Check out this FAQ on condom use:
http://www.sexetc.org/faq/birth_control/1064 and talk to
your partner about using a condom next time.

I am guessing that you are asking how to wash your penis
after anal sex, so the answer is yes, shower like you
normally would and use soap and warm water (the PenisWashbot
3.0 might still be a few years down the road). Hopefully if
you anal sex you used a condom to protect both you and your
partner from STDs. If not, you may want to consider getting
tested. Here is a link to help you find a clinic near you:
