Answer 1

Exit only

Pretty much all STDs can be transmitted through anal sex; according to many reports, the "passive" (penetrated) partner is more vulnerable than in almost any other sex act, mostly because it's common for there to be small cuts or abrasions which make infection easier. So, I'm not going to list symptoms, because the answer is: any of them. So use a condom every time! And plenty of lube, to minimize the potential for anal scrapes. The only thing anal sex can't give you is a fertilized egg! But, your bowels are probably fine. Though there's some loosening of the sphincter over time, it's highly unlikely that functionality will be lost, particularly if you're careful with preparation.

By the sounds of it, bleeding is a sign that perhaps he ruptured your rectum. (I realise you're experienced, having been active for 3 years, but still one rough or accidental movement can cause it) I'd give it until the end of the week, and if it's still acting up, I'd recommend you go see your doctor.

Glad to hear you're being sensible with your 'proper tech' though.

"Other viruses can be transmitted through anal sex quite easily. These include hepatitis B and hepatitis C, which cause liver disease. Possibly Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which causes mono, and cytomegalovirus (CMV) can also be transmitted in this way. Another cause of liver disease is the hepatitis A virus. It is transmitted through contact with the feces of someone with the virus, so anal sex may increase the risk of acquiring that infection.

In addition to these organisms, a variety of infections can be transmitted that predominantly cause infection in the rectum and colon. Some refer to these diseases as "gay-bowel syndrome," but that is a misnomer because any recipient of anal sex (including heterosexual women) can develop such an infection. The syndrome includes diarrhea, fever and lower abdominal pain. Various infections can cause these symptoms, including gonorrhea, chlamydia, lymphogranuloma venereum, shigella (a cause of dysentery) and herpes. An infection such as this would be termed "proctitis," or rectal infection. When I see a patient with signs and symptoms of proctitis, and the patient is a recipient of anal sex, I consider infection to be highly likely."

Good luck. :)

Answer 4

I don't think yoo can ever be too careful when it comes to anal sex. Yes it is fun and feels great. But, 3 days later I would see my doctor, just to be safe. It could also be an irritated or infected hemroid.

Answer 5

Bleeding can occur after anal penetration if you've sustained a small tear in the lining of the anus. Even small tears heal slowly because they're irritated repeatedly during bowel movements.

Answer 6

You should go it checked out anyway....... I don't know about any infections but I do know that on the inside of the anus the walls are very, very, very thin and can easily tear.....which in turn would cause bleeding.

Answer 7

You could have torn the lining of your anus. You should get a colonoscopy and make sure all is fine with the back door.

What can you get? Loose all control of your bowel movements, or they can spill out and you have to have surgery. If you've torn the bowels, you can get infection in your abdomen which left unchecked could spread and cause sepsis to your abdominal cavity and other organs...the list goes on and on and on.....

Answer 8

Anal/colon cancer rates have increased due to this type of activity. It may not hurt to take that into consideration.



The incidence of precancerous (in situ) anal cancer increased fourfold in men, from 7% in 1973 to 25% in 2000. Women's cases ranged from 8% to 10% during the same time period.
Women's five-year survival improved substantially, from 59% in the 1970s to 73% in 2000. Men's survival rate stayed about the same during the three decades -- about 60%.Yet black men had a decrease in the five-year survival rates from anal cancer. During this same time period the five-year survival rates went from 45% down to only 27%.
Black men had the sharpest increase in anal cancer -- more than double the rate of earlier years -- one case per 100,000 in the 1970s, compared with nearly three cases per 100,000 in 2000.
Black men had increasingly bad survival odds during the 30-year period; 62% lived five years after diagnosis, compared with 79% of white men.
Black women had the highest race-specific and gender-specific rates of anal cancer in the 1970s, with one case per 100,000. However, by 2000 black women had the lowest incidence, with two cases per 100,000. Black women had slightly worse survival odds, with 57% living five years compared with 65% of white women.
