Anal Sex: Anal sex is a common human sexual experience. There is no bad or good in medicine or science. Sometimes there is shame. Sometimes there are risks for common stds, just like other forms of sexual intercourse. Anal sex can take some time to get used to. But, for many humans, straight and gay and bisexual, this is a normal part of their sexual life.

Could be: The anus is lined by a special set of muscles designed to help you keep feces in until you are ready to eliminate them. They have been described as the smartest muscles in the body, knowing liquid from solid, knowing how to pass gas, etc. Anal sex can stretch, tear or scar these muscles and change your life in many ways. Toilet time can become a problem. Many don't consider it a problem, I do.
