A member asked:

Is anal sex good for someone who is constipated?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Not recommended: I would not recommend it. Consider a rectum containing hard, dry, retained fecal matter - now consider a penis or foreign object being introduced into that rectum. This does not sound like a good combination.
