Reasons why you should not practice Anal Sex with your partner

There has been an increase in the number of people engaging in anal sèx with their partners in recent years. While there may be some individuals who find it pleasurable, there are many valid reasons why you should not practice anal sèx with your partner.

This article will discuss some of the potential harms of anal sèx, which can be both physical and emotional, and hopefully help people to make a more informed decision when considering engaging in this type of sèxual activity.

First, it is important to understand the anatomy of the rectum.

According to Healthline, The rectum is the lower section of the large intestine and it does not lubricate to help the pènis pass through easily ashe vàgina does. Instead, it has folds and crevices that can create tears, which can lead to infection or even STIs (STDs). There is also a much higher risk of tissue damage and tearing, due to the delicate nature of the tissue surrounding the rectum.

Second, the rectum can be difficult to clean, as faecal matter can be left behind on the pènis and in between the folds of the rectum. If this matter is transferred elsewhere during sèx, it can cause an infection or lead to an increase in the risk of HIV transmission, as the virus is present in faecal matter. 

Third, the rectum contains bacteria that the vàgina does not. The bacteria, including E. coli, can cause infection if transferred to the vàgina. This can lead to medical conditions such as bacterial vàginosis—a condition that can cause vaginal burning and itching as well as vàginal discharge.

Fourth, anal sèx can be physically painful. Individuals need to understand that the anús doesn't produce a lubricating fluid like the vàgina does to help make the experience more comfortable. Research has found that the majority of people who experience anal sèx describe it as being painful.

The fifth point is that it is emotionally difficult for some individuals to engage in this type of intimate activity. It can be difficult to mentally prepare yourself for something that is seen by many as stigmatizing and taboo. It can be difficult to overcome the fear or anxiety associated with being exposed and vulnerable in this way.

The sixth point is that it can make it difficult to have an enjoyable or fulfilling sèxual experience. It is important for partners to be open to each other’s desires and needs to make sure both achieve pleasure from the experience. However, if one partner is not comfortable with the experience, it can be difficult for both to reach satisfaction.

The final point is that it does not guarantee added pleasure. While people may find anal sèx to be pleasurable, this is not always the case. Research has found that the majority of people find it to be painful or uncomfortable, rather than enjoyable.

To conclude, there are many valid reasons why you should not practice anal sèx with your partner. From the potential physical and emotional harm to the possibility of not achieving the desired pleasure, there are many issues to consider before embarking on this type of intimate activity. Ultimately, each individual decides to decide if anal sèx is right for them, but it is important to be aware of the potential risks that can come with it.
