A member asked:

Does anal rubbing cause pregnancy?

Dr. Dennis Higginbotham answered

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

No: It requires insemination for conception to occur. If the anus is being rubbed by the penis and if ejaculation occurs and if semen enters the vagina, then conception could result.
