Condom: It is recommended to use a condom for anal sex and lots of water-based lubrication to prevent damage to the anal muscles. Condoms can prevent sexually-transmitted infections. Also, the penis should be washed thoroughly with soap and water before vaginal penetration.

Anal Sex: There is a lot of bacteria in our anal and genital regions. Many people who participate in anal sex learn to douche or in other ways prepare by cleaning out the rectum with enema or the like. Condoms are also a vital and important part of protection in this sexual activity. But, it is also very common to have some stool get mixed up with the lubrication. Good soap and water are necessary.
