What Are The Risks Of Rectal Sex?

default
Posted on Mon, 24 Nov 2014
Question: Sorry this is embarrassing but I need to know. I just recently started to have anal sex with my partner and I really enjoy it but I hear that I will end up pooping myself if I continue to do this. Is this true? I also have heard that poop will start to leak out. I can not seem to find someone who really knows. Thanks for the help

Brief Answer:
Rectal sex

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for contacting HCM

You are concerned about rectal sex causing damage to your rectum. In most cases repeated rectal sex can cause the rectal muscle to become weak. When the rectal muscle weakens then you can lose the ability to feel stool. With over penetration you could end up have stool incontinence or lose of stool control.

Also with rectal sex there can be trauma to the tissue around the rectum which can cause open sores and hemorrhoids.

I recommend you reduce the number of times you have rectal intercourse. Also practice safe sex with condoms to prevent transmission of sexual transmitted disease
