UK: Rise in popularity of anal sex has led to health problems for women

The Guardian: Women in the UK are suffering injuries and other health problems as a result of the growing popularity of anal sex among straight couples, two NHS surgeons have warned.

The consequences include incontinence and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) as well as pain and bleeding because they have experienced bodily trauma while engaging in the practice, the doctors write in an article in the British Medical Journal.

Tabitha Gana and Lesley Hunt also argued that doctors’ reluctance to discuss the risks associated with anal sex was leading to women being harmed by the practice and letting down a generation of women who are not aware of the potential problems.

In the journal, they said “anal intercourse is considered a risky sexual behaviour because of its association with alcohol, drug use and multiple sex partners”.

However, “within popular culture it has moved from the world of pornography to mainstream media” and TV shows including Sex and the City and Fleabag may have contributed to the trend by making it seem “racy and daring”.

However, women who engage in anal sex are at greater risk from it than men. “Increased rates of faecal incontinence and anal sphincter injury have been reported in women who have anal intercourse,” the report said. more here

  1. Gonna turn 70 next week, and this practice still remains a mystery to me. I have never understood how anyone could consider their bung hole a sex organ. I will go to my grave with the mystery unsolved.

  3. If you are able to freak out over not being able to kill a baby up to the moment of birth, you are capable of anything.

    Id like to say women today are acting like lunatic hyenas, but hyenas dont kill their own offspring or permit male hyenas to damage their rectums. In fact no female animal in the history of the planet has ever acted this way

    So ladies, you do know what your anus is for don’t you? Sheesh, if one has to explain it, then you’re too stupid to understand how you got into bodily function trouble in the first place. Lots of things are popular, doesn’t mean it’s good for you.

  5. If you’re contemplating anal sex…

    “I guess the phrase gang-rape is one that doesn’t change much from one generation to
    the next. That’s what they did to him, those four sisters. They bent him over a gear-box
    and one of them held a Phillips screwdriver to his temple while they gave him the
    business. It rips you up some, but not bad-am I speaking from personal experience, you
    ask?-I only wish I weren’t. You bleed for awhile. If you don’t want some clown asking
    you if you just started your period, you wad up a bunch of toilet paper and keep it down
    the back of your underwear until it stops. The bleeding really is like a menstrual flow; it
    keeps up for two, maybe three days, a slow trickle. Then it stops. No harm done, unless
    they’ve done something even more unnatural to you. No physical harm done but rape is
    rape, and eventually you have to look at your face in the mirror again and decide what to
    make of yourself. ”
    -Stephen King, “Rita Hayworth And The Shawshank Redemption”

  6. Replace “Straight” with “same sex”, and this article would be labeled as “hate” against that certain group which advocate Sodom and Gomorrah life style.
    Yes, I know. I don’t want to mention that group by the name. It is disgusting to me.

  7. The doctors should be able to rectify those sore and bleeding rectums.

    One of the patients was an Anglican Church Priest. The doctors treated him and told him to get his rectum back to the rectory and stay there till his rectum stopped bleeding and he was able to have a successful BM.
