A member asked:
Around my anus is a small concave, which i have been told is a hemorrhoid. it does not hurt, would anal sex be unsafe because of the "hemorrhoid"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
As long as the : hemorrhoid is not inflamed and you use adequate lubrication I see no reason to have an issue with anal sex
