What Causes Rectal Soreness Post Anal Sex?

Hi, I am a 26 year old gay man. I regularly have anal sex and play the role of the recipient. However, in the last few months I have been really sore, probably for a week, after I had anal sex. What is the cause of it? There is nothing different I am doing from what I used to. I also use prilox gel in and around by anus to numb the pain.
