Can You Have Too Much Anal Sex? You Need to Be Mindful of The Back Door

By Sarah Hosseini July 13, 2017

If you do a quick search online about anal sex, it boils down to one basic concern: can anal sex screw up your, well, anus? People are curious about how anal sex can impact their pooping habits and ability to "hold it." For those who are tapping the back door or are thinking about it, you've undoubtedly asked the same question. The other popular anal inquiry must do with frequency: can you have too much anal sex? It turns out the answer to both isn't exactly cut and dry.

"As long as it doesn't hurt, you can do as much anal as you like," Stacy Rybchin, founder, and CEO of My Secret Soiree and My Secret Luxury, tells Romper. "Just remember to use lots of personal lubricants, take it slow, and communicate with your partner." The lube portion can't be stressed enough. 

According to Web MD, an anus lacks natural lubrication that is present in a vagina. As explained in the post, tearing is probably inevitable, but certainly lessened with lube. (It's worth noting that you could get tears or endure bodily damage from having any sex the "wrong way" or in a painful manner. Lube helps make it safe and pleasurable for everyone.) As an article in Cosmopolitan pointed out if an anus is dry and you don't use lube down there you could cause micro-tears in the anus.


The other line of thinking is that anal can cause long-term damage to your butt. Theoretically, it seems possible. As explained in the Web MD article, repetitive anal sex could lead to a weakening of the anal sphincter. As a result, it may make holding in feces until you get to a toilet more difficult. Additionally, an article in Men's Health pointed out that vigorous anal sex could put undue pressure on the posterior anal wall. This could lead to anal incontinence or increased risk of passing gas.


The consensus overall seems to be if you're practicing anal sex in a safe, comfortable, and communicative way you shouldn't have any short-term or long-term problems. The key will be to check in with your body during anal sex and even after and do an honest assessment of how you feel. If you have concerns that you can't see or figure out yourself, you can hopefully be open and honest with a doctor if needed.

Healthy In Love Part 1

In our innermost being, we are all completely lovable because the spirit is love. Beyond what anyone can make you think or feel about yourself, your unconditioned spirit stands, shining with a love nothing can tarnish. We all have the innate need to love and be loved. When we are born we enter the world with pure expectation of unconditional love. Sadly this is not the experience most people get.  Early in life, we learn that love can be withheld from us, whether well intentioned or not, by those who are closest to us. We become exposed to the concept of bargaining to receive love and give love. People, often unknowingly let pain from their past dictate their approach to love.  They erect barriers or use love as a reward and take it away as punishment. Such behaviors cause us to believe that in order to receive love, we must act a certain way or provide certain things. Equally important, when we have those damaging experiences consistently where love is used to harm, we begin
