How often is anal sex healthy? Everyday? Every week?

  • A) depends on your body, and experience level. The anus is very elastic, and each person's has it's own amount of time to "snap back ". Not to mention, how far it has to go, depending on girth of the guy.

    B) duration, andforcefullyness if the sex. If it's tender, and slower, than less effect. If hard and deep, more. If he's a minute man, less, if he's pounding it for an hour, more.

    Wife loves anal, a lot. Unless I'm really going hard, usually about every other night should never do "damage". Biggest thing for not every night seems to be that it sometimes can make her constipated. Anal while constipated is no fun, because it is usually a bit painfull due to added pressure, and can end in suddenly becoming "not constipated", if you get my meaning.

  • I think frequency may be a factor, but along with frequency; friction, size relative to size, how it is done, hygiene (for example girls should go from anal to vaginal, only vice-versa... for the same reason you don’t wipe your ass in a forwardly direction). It’s all about how it’s done, more than how much.

  • If you know how to do it without pain, and don't do things like have an enema every time, it's probably healthy to do it daily. Gently though.

    One should not try to wear a plug all day though.

    • Gud idea

    • Informative, and also very hot.

    • @jakeforfun See? Who says information can't be interesting and sexy?

  • Never, but if you must, I would limit it to once a month or less. It is just an unhealthy practice in general and unnecessary.
    ~JSmith

    • It really isn't particularly unhealthy. Humans appear to have done it through all human history. That doesn't mean YOU have to like it though.

    • @MlleCake A huge risk to blood-borne diseases, cancer of the bowels, anal fissures and hemorrhoids, urinal infections, incontinence in later years and so on---I would say it is unhealthy. It is also quite uncomfortable, by most accounts. But if your adventurous, enjoy. ~JSmith

    • Except not all of that is true for one thing, and the rest of it is avoided by using safer sex practices. It's not particularly less healthy than vaginal intercourse, or doesn't have to be. Again, I'm not saying just jump-in and be foolish about it, but it doesn't have to be unhealthy.

  • As in, if you have it too much you'll get more issues in the rectum or what?

  • There isn’t really any sort of health that plays into it. I mean I’d argue that it’s actually probably not healthy at all because a foreign object is entering and could damage your rectum.

  • As often as you like as long as you don't feel like crap HaHAhAhAa

  • Depends on how rough you are and what you do. Like, taking a finger or a cock, no worries, every day would be fine (unless you get really rough with it). Going for fisting or prolapse or gape? Should probably take a few days between sessions to recover/heal.

  • As often as you like really. As long as it doesn't hurt and you feel fine you can do it multiple times a day

  • i dont think its ever unhealthy as long as you keep everything hygenic

  • Um, i mean if you like it do it whenever you want.

    • That's cool

  • Technically anal sex is never health as it can lead to small tears in your rectum

  • Not everyday but once a week can acceptable. The butt hole can be irritated

  • I’d say once a week is fine, I do it more than that and I’m okay

    • YOU GO GIRL!!

  • Never is good.

  • If you're doing it well, there is no limit to the frequency with which you can enjoy anal sex.

  • Not more than 3 times a month.

  • To me, anal sex is not that exciting and I save it for special times when regular sex may not be an option.

  • Take it slow and be careful. If you enjoy it rough, do it rarely. There is a slight increase in anal incontinence in people who regularly have anal sex to those who don't, according to epidemiological data.
    Something we do know however is that having anal sex rough, with large objects or against a tightened anal sphincter is a bad idea.

    • It is not correct anal sex and incontinence are completely uncorrelated

    • @Micmac0 Use the comma, otherwise it's hard to understand what you mean. Or don't forget the "that". But regardless which side you're on, the National Health and Nutrition Examination survey 2009-2010 shows a correlation between the two. Hence not completely uncorrelated. I'm not claiming a cause. There has also been demonstrated that men engaging in anal sex has lower pressure, hence weaker muscles.

  • According to most health books and Doctors recommendations, at least once or twice (depending on the woman) a week but no more then 3 or 4 a month plus slow steady pace with lube during the intercourse (For beginners and for multiple times in a month) bring more pleasure. For fast pace (rough anal) about two or three times out of the month for great pleasure.

  • I'm gonna talk mental health - I need it (receiving anal) every so often, or I get ornery. I need to be taken down a peg, and that seems to work perfectly. Lots of fun, too.

  • As long as you're not in pain, you're using lube, and you're comfortable doing it, as much as you want.
