A member asked:
Will anal sex cause long term damage? i do it 2-3 times a month for 6 months now. is this bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safe sex: Anal sex can cause stretching and/or tearing of the anal tissues. Tearing of the anal tissues can open a pathway for HIV and hepatitis virus infection. Condoms can help make this practice safer, but will not eliminate risk.
