That is why many do not know exactly how to practice anal sex safely and pleasantly and what to expect after the act.
One of the many questions that individuals ask themselves before having this type of relationship is precisely the one that we want to answer you below: Are there physical changes from having anal intercourse? How is the anus after having sex? Could this practice turn out to be dangerous? In the following unCOMO article we inform you of everything you should know about it so that you have no doubts or you can enjoy your privacy more.
Are there physical changes from having anal intercourse?
The clearest answer is no. There are no physical changes from having anal intercourse; While it is true that the skin of the anus may become slightly inflamed after this practice (or you may have a burning sensation), there are no major or dangerous physical changes to be aware of.
You may have read that the anus changes in size after intercourse, but this is completely false, as this practice does not irreversibly stretch the muscles of the anus. Of course, depending on the type of anal intercourse you practice, you may find yourself with some discomfort or others, as we remember that anal practices can range from the introduction of the penis, to that of the fingers or objects such as vibrators in the anus.
However, with the protection and appropriate measures, anal sex can be very pleasant for both men and women and does not have to carry major risks or problems.
How to do anal sex properly
The anal area is very delicate and sensitive, so it is essential to take the appropriate measures and precautions before having sex from behind to avoid anal fissures or other problems. If you were wondering how the anus looks after a relationship, you already know that the answer is that it remains the same, however, the trick is to know how to practice this act properly.
- The importance of lubricant: Surely you have heard it a thousand times, but we will not tire of repeating that to have anal sex it is essential to use a lot of lubricant. Whatever you do (sex with your partner, masturbation, vibrators, plugs, etc.) use lubricant.
- Don’t forget the stimulation: before starting, you have to stimulate the area so that it relaxes and penetration is more pleasant and less painful. Use your fingers to begin to dilate the anus little by little (never force entry) and get a toy designed to start with this type of practice (anal plugs are a fantastic option). Take a look at this article on How to Prepare the Anus for Anal Sex.
- Always wear protection: There are many reasons why a condom is essential when having anal or any other type of sex. For one thing, there is nothing like a condom to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. But on the other hand, you must also remember that there is inevitably fecal matter in the anus, so the condom is necessary to prevent bacteria from the feces from spreading.
- Take hygiene into account: if you wonder how to clean the anus before having sex, we recommend you go to the bathroom to evacuate before starting. Then take a good shower and clean your genitals as usual. If you want, you can use an enema to wash the rectum well and avoid surprises during intercourse. The enema is not essential, but if you use it, visit this article on How to use an enema.
- Faced with the pain of anal sex: If the practice hurts a lot, it is important that you stop. It may be that lubricant is lacking, that you are not completely relaxed or that the area is not sufficiently stimulated, but in any case it is important that never force the anus and that before the pain of anal sex do not continue.
From UNCOMO we also recommend that you look before you start the best positions for anal sex to facilitate penetration.
What to do after having anal sex

- Get rid of the condom: Do not have anal sex and vaginal sex with the same condom. Remember that there is fecal waste in the anus and that if the bacteria from these come into contact with the vagina it could cause an infection, so use another condom.
- Clean yourself with mild soap and waterTo clean well the lubricant used during intercourse, as well as sexual fluids, it is important that you clean your genitals with soap and water. Do it carefully so as not to irritate the area and always use a neutral soap.
- Go to the bathroomDon’t be scared by the idea of defecating after having anal intercourse. A little bleeding is normal, since the rectum is very sensitive and it is common for some capillaries to break during intercourse. However, if the bleeding is abundant, we recommend you go to your gynecologist, as there could be a small fissure.
