Question 4

can you still have anal intercourse if you have hemorroids?

Question 5

is anal intercourse dangerous or damaging? it surely sounds dangerous!

Accepted Answer

Shouldn't be: If done carefully between consenting adults. You need lots of water soluble lubrication plus slow insertion with partner relaxing their anal sphincter.
