Sometimes there are risks for common stds, just like other forms of sexual intercourse. Anal sex can take some time to get used to.

No, but....: Your religion may have taboos against it.e Some women enjoy it, but many don't. Barrier protection is an absolute requirement, as is a lubricant. Finally, if you do try and do not like it, your partner must stop. Period!
