I am just curious as to why you are more interested in anal sex rather than vaginal?
The most likely problems arising from anal sex concern infections. Infections such as genital herpes and genital warts can occur at the anal opening.
Inflammation and infection can occur in the rectum.
Tears can occur in the anus itself and cause bleeding and hemorrhoids. A rare, but serious, complication after anal sex is a perforation in the colon. This dangerous problem requires hospitalization, surgery to repair the hole and antibiotics to prevent infection. A colonic perforation will usually cause fever and severe pain and pressure in the abdomen.
Anal sex has many pros, and many cons.
First for the pros. Anal sex CAN feel very good. Your anus is connected by other muscles and skin to the rest of your genitalia, whether you are male or female, making for heightened and different sexual sensations. Anal sex also is a way to have sex to avoid pregnancy.
Now the cons. Anal sex is the #1 method of spreading most STD's - AIDS, herpes, genital warts, etc. And by #1 I don't mean that it is the most common way to catch these things, but as compared to all other sex acts, vaginal intercourse, oral sex, etc., anal sex creates the best situation for transmission, because of the likelihood of tearing skin and tissue when you have anal sex. It can also REALLY hurt. You have to be very careful, and move very slowly at first, or else you can cause a LOT of pain for the person who is being penetrated.
Some people clear the rectum with a small disposable enema before anal intercourse. Because the rectum contains infection causing bacteria, anything (fingers, objects, penis) that has had contact with the anus should not subsequently be in contact with the vagina or mouth until it has been thoroughly washed.
