A member asked:
Can you enjoy anal sex if you have hemorrhoids?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: I can not condone anal sex. The orefice is an exit not an entrance. Significan t damage can occur to the tissue and to the sphincter mechanism leading to incontinence and a multitude of infections including std's. Use the anus as it was intended: an exit!
