A member asked:

Do i need a condom during anal sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I would recommend it: Sti's can pass through any form of sexual contact and anal sex is included. The male can also suffer from an increased risk of urinary tract infections, separate from the sti's from entering an area full of e.Coli germs.
