A member asked:
The objects i use for anal are hard (they don't bend) and long (25 cm or 10 inches). i apply pressure to bend my insides to pass rectum and enter the sigmoid colon. is this dangerous?

Yes!! Especially the size you describe. Doing this can lead to trauma to the lining of the rectum and also risks perforating the rectum/ colon requiring surgery and a colostomy. Remember, the rectum and colon are designed as an exit, not an entrance! Stop this because it is very dangerous activity
