In order for you to enjoy sexual practices safely, it is important that you have reliable information and that you know what to do at all times. Always, I say, EVERYTHING you go to have sex, it must be with the consent of the people involved.
The Anatomy for Anal Sex
In order for you to be able to practice anal sex safely, it is important that you know which parties are involved in the act. It is also important to know the functions and characteristics of each of these parts.
To get started in anal sex, we need to know that the anal structure is divided into three parts: the anus, the rectum and the anal sphincter.
The anus is the orifice at the end of the digestive tract, through which the defecation material is evacuated. The anus is made up of the intestine and skin layers (of nerve endings that make it especially sensitive). The rectum is the final part of the digestive tract and is above the anus. It's an insensitive area. The anal sphincter is a muscular ring that holds the anus closed, controlled by an autonomic nervous system—but it can be contracted or relaxed voluntarily.
How to have anal sex safely?
Now that you know the parts of the body that are directly related to anal sex, it is important to mention some points that help you to have a safer and more pleasurable anal.
The rectum and anus are especially sensitive, as they can have fissures and tears through which sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can be spread more easily. Therefore, it is considered that this practice brings greater risks. Therefore, it is very important to use a condom from the beginning to the end of anal penetration.
3 steps to have satisfying and pleasurable anal sex
- Lubrication: the anus and rectum do not have any fluids that facilitate penetration, so lubrication is essential for anal sex. The use of water-based lubricants is recommended so that the quality of the condom is not affected. Lubricant is also very important to prevent tears in the inner tissue of the rectum. Lubricant should be used throughout sex, starting before penetration.
- Distention: relaxation of the anal muscles (anal sphincter). It is recommended to lightly insert a finger, the tip of the penis or sex toy to gradually relax. Initial penetration should be slow so that sufficient distension (relaxation) of the anal muscles is produced, in order to avoid pain, fissures or other problems.
- Condom: The proper use of condoms is essential for safe anal sex, as well as the use of lubricants. In addition to protecting against sexually transmitted diseases, it also protects the partner you are penetrating from getting infections.
Preparation for anal sex: cleaning
Many people prefer to use enemas or douches (or chucas) before intercourse to feel more comfortable and to avoid unwanted sensations (and surprises!). An enema or chuca is a technique by which fluids are introduced into the rectum, through the anus. This process is done in order to empty the intestinal contents and clean the rectum near the anus.

Anal sex risks
The anus and rectum area are sensitive and can produce fissures during penetration, which can favor the entry of bacteria and/or cause hemorrhages. The rectum mucosa also has a high absorption capacity, which can increase the spread of infections.
Thus, in addition to HIV, there can be the spread of other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as gonorrhea, hepatitis (A, B and c), syphilis and genital herpes.
