A member asked:
Is anal sex safer? what precautions need to be taken before it? n is lubricant required for it?? what kind of lubricant??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anal Intercourse: Safer? Anal sex does not lead to pregnancy. However - infections can be transmitted through this route. The tissues are delicate and can be injured during anal sex. Would recommend use of condom and water based lubricant.
