A member asked:
Bright red blood after anal sex. is this normal as long as it stops. there isn't any pain other than some minor irritation near the opening.

Not normal: it is certainly not normal to have bleeding after anal sex, but it is also not unusual. If it is a small amount of bleeding and it resolves within a day or two, I would not be overly concerned. If it persists much longer than that, however, see your doctor. Good luck.
