A member asked:
Is anal sex safe if using the right lubricant and a lot of foreplay?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Protection: Anal intercourse is perfectly healthy as long as barrier protection (a condom) is used. While your risk of pregnancy is much lower (but not zero), there is still a risk of obtaining a sexually transmitted disease unless you use protection.
