Whilst having anal sex, you have to be careful not to injure the tight and fragile anal opening. For this you have to use a lot of lubrication and the insertion has to be really very very slow. Also to prevent the transmission of any disease you MUST wear a condom and discard it after removal and use a fresh condom if you want to subsequently insert the penis in the vagina. If you have any more questions you could seek help from an AASECT certified sex therapist. Visit www.aasect.org to find a therapist in your area.

www.bettydodson.com is a good website where you can get some good info on anal sex.
