16 Year Boy, Is Anal Masturbation Harmful?
Hello
This is a bit embarrassing for me, I am 16 and i am a boy, I just wanted to know if anal masturbation can be harmful? I do about 2 times a week, i usually use toothbrush's, virbrating shavers, the handle of hairbrushs and my fingers, i use alot of lube when i do it, i make sure to cover whatever goes up in there with condom and a latex glove when i use my fingers. it does not hurt when i accually put stuff in there, it feels great. but sometimes when i do it a little bit of blood comes out and thats what im worried about. i have been attempting to massage my prostate with my fingers and i am worried that i could get a prolapse aswell. please help

Hi Brodie,
Insertion of foreign objects into the anus is not without dangers. This area is fragile, the intestinal walls do not feel pain and for objects pushed too far, surgery may be necessary for removal (even without injury). Unsafe anal masturbation methods cause harm and a potential trip to the hospital emergency room. However, anal masturbation can be carried out in greater safety by ensuring that the bowel is emptied before beginning, the anus and rectum are sufficiently lubricated and relaxed throughout, and the inserted object is not of too great a size.
But the main thing is to not do in excess, cause that can be harmful and yes continue using lube, dont stop that.
I hope this helped.
