A member asked:
I'm not sure if i have a std or i'm freaking out. i'm a gay male, and i think i may have tore a little of my anus. is this possible?

YES: Anal sex can tear the membranes and or injure the delicate nerve fibers that control closure. Once torn the may or may not regain their function. Such skills as gas release without soiling can disappear.

Trauma vs herpes: The differential includes a traumatic tear from vigorous receptive anal sex, herpetic ulcers, and anal fissures from constipation. See a doc in person and have them check for herpes and related ulcers.
