Anal Sex - Should you do it?
Here are some pros and cons....
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, and for a way for two men to be sexually intimate. Despite the stigmas, anal sex is not dirty, or perverted, or wrong. It's just different.
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. That's right, tearing skin and tissue. Another con of anal sex - it can 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 on the "receiving" end of things.
As for cleanliness, anal sex isn't any better or worse than regular sex. Some people prefer to clean the area, and even inside, before participating in anal sex, but this really isn't necessary. However, the bacteria present can cause infections, so even if you aren't worried about catching a disease from your partner, you should still use a condom.
