Anal Sex
Intercourse involving penetration of the anus by a penis or other object.
Intermediate Level
Medium Risk
Anal sex refers to penetration of the anus during sexual activity and is practiced by people of various genders and sexual orientations. Because the anus does not naturally produce lubrication, generous use of body-safe lubricant and gradual progression are important for improving comfort and reducing the risk of injury. Barrier protection such as condoms can help reduce the transmission of sexually transmitted infections while also supporting hygiene. Communication, consent, preparation, and respecting personal boundaries are essential for safer and more comfortable experiences.
