Anal Intercourse causing protrusions
Q: I’m writing to you today about a concern that I have within my relationship (Male & Male) regarding the intimate side of our relationship. Although I have not gone to my GP about this, due to being a bit scared, I have looked it up, which I know isn’t usually the most sensible thing to do.
However, the closest thing I can seem to find that relates to what I have is something called a “Rectal Prolapse”, where a bit of thick skin hangs out of my anus, and my question is, could anal intercourse harm me at all, or possibly my partner as a result of this? So far the sex we have had is quite good and he seems to really enjoy it, however, when I am on the receiving end, although it is still pleasurable, and we take our time, making sure to use plenty of lube to penetrate and going in slowly, even after a small while when good motion has started, it is still slightly painful during the intercourse, and I was wondering if this may be a result of the prolapse, if of course, it is a rectal prolapse I have.
Either way, forgive me for the ambiguity on what sort of condition I have with my anus as I do not know myself and simply judging from a self-diagnosis online!
A: First and foremost, I am not a medical doctor. The only way to truly diagnose what you have is with a medical evaluation. Protrusions from the anus could be a prolapse as you describe or a hemorrhoid. A rectal prolapse involves the walls of the rectum falling out and protruding to the outside. This is a rare condition and is not usually caused by anal sex (although it could) from what I have read. Having said this, anal sex with large objects (or penis) can cause the rectal muscles to weaken or tear (as can childbirth or chronic constipation, for example). Hemorrhoids are the most common result. These can also protrude outside the body and feel like a pad of skin, usually pinkish in color. And these do in fact hurt. In the case of a rectal prolapse, the protrusion is usually larger. It is important to see a medical doctor to rectify this situation through different treatment options. If you don’t, you may end up doing more damage.
Painless anal
Q: Hi I’m a 20-year-old bi man and I’d like to know what should I do to get used to receiving anal sex. As much as I love it, I don’t do it that often and because of that it really hurts in the beginning and my partner and I have to stop for a bit. I’m kinda tired of that so what should I do?
A: A person must always be ready to receive anal sex. That means they must be relaxed, and use lots of lube. Going slowly and at your own pace is also important.
Green warts
Q: I took part in the act of group anal sex about a week ago. I’ve been in the shower for the first time this morning since my new hobby and have discovered a green growth in my manly area. Any guidance as to what it is.
A: It’s difficult for me to say what this is or isn’t. But a wart in the genital area is usually indicative of a sexually transmitted infection and needs to be looked at and treated. Even if you used condoms (which I really hope you did, seeing as there were multiple partners engaged in risky sexual behavior), there are STIs that are transmitted through skin to skin genital/anal contact. Please see your doctor, or go to an infectious disease clinic to have this assessed and treated (it will have to be removed).
Anal Licking
Q: After cleaning with the soap, or either cleaning with wet toilet paper, I licked my wife’s ass hole several times. Do you think this will affect us badly?
A: Yes, it’s important to clean your anal area, especially after a bowel movement before your mouth actually goes there. This is because fecal matter may contain bacteria, viruses, and parasites, and you don’t want this in your body. Analingus is fine and can be quite pleasurable for many as there are nerve endings in that area. Cleaning the area prior to this activity is important. I don’t see how this can affect you badly with these precautions taken—although there is always some risk.
