RISKS: You
can't get
pregnant from unprotected anal sex unless semen gets into the vagina,
but it's still a Really Bad Idea. Here's why:Unprotected anal sex
(with a penis) is a high risk for sexually transmitted diseases
like HIV, herpes, warts (HPV), hepatitis B, gonorrhea and syphilis.
Why is unprotected anal sex such a high risk? Because the tissue
inside your anus is very delicate and tender, and tiny tears or
scrapes can happen without you even noticing. Then if your partner
cums inside you or has genital warts or herpes, it is very easily
transmitted.
SAFER SEX: The only safe way to put a penis into an anus
is if there is a condom on the penis. Water-based lubrication (like
KY or Astroglide) is available at many regular drugstores and will
not diminish the condom's effectiveness. Oil-based
lubricants
like lotion or Crisco can render a condom useless.
PRECAUTIONS:
You shouldn't put anything that's been in your butt inside your
vagina. Transferring rectal bacteria into the vagina can equal yeast
infections or urinary tract infections. Not fun! Use a new condom
or latex glove when you switch from the front to the back (or vice
versa).
