What Does Anal Sex Feel Like? Pros, Cons And Things To Keep In Mind



Anal sex isn’t a forbidden thing anymore. More and more people are trying this method of getting pleasure. Enough of sticking the penis in the vagina, it’s time to go backdoor and see how it feels. Surely, a boy is going to feel some difference, but for girl, it will be an unprecedented experience. Anal sex is totally different from vaginal sex because anus has another role to play in the body, but for people, it’s just that, ‘where there is a hole, stick your pole’. But, there are a few things that people need to keep in mind while doing anal sex in order to make it less painful and more pleasurable.

There is no maybe for women when it comes to anal sex. She will either love it or hate it. If she hates it, then she must have undergone extreme pain in the past doing the anal sex or she must have seen or heard a girl crying blood at the time of having anal sex. A girl who loves it must have undergone a whole different experience. From the boys’ perspective, it is important to make your female partner comfortable about anal sex. Try different positions to make anal sex more joyful and pleasurable experience. You must know what your female partner thinks about anal sex in order to pursue with the same.

Pros of Anal Sex


It feels good

When penis gets inside a hole that is not the vagina, then the sensation a girl get is totally different. It feels really amazing to a girl because the feeling is something else, something that is never felt before. The rectum will suck up the penis, thus giving you a new sensation as well. Your partner can get orgasm from anal sex.


Time to turn naughty

How about a kinky sex? Have you done that before? If yes, then take it to a new level by performing anal sex. It will be an experience to remember for both you and your girl, and since you are doing it in secret, nobody is going to know anything about it.


Cons of Anal Sex


Extreme pain

Since the rectum is not designed to take things in, as its purpose is to throw the faeces out of the body, so it can be very painful for the girl. You have to take all the necessary measures to make anal sex less painful and more comfortable for her. You can use some lubricant before you thrust. Also, keep your motion slow while you are inside of her.


Can be messy

Women loves to stay beautiful and charming in front of their partners, so when you perform anal sex with her, you are going to see her explode all over herself. She will be covered in faeces, which may not be a good sight for you. Also, she doesn’t like that picture. This is perhaps the reason why women dodge the question of ‘do you want to have anal sex’ because they can imagine it to go wrong with severe repercussions.


Important things to keep in mind while going for anal sex


Use a lubricant

When you insert your penis in her vagina, you don’t feel any traction because her vagina produces a lubricant, but that’s not the case with rectum. So, you will have to apply a lubricant in her anus or she can do it herself.


Indulge her in foreplay

You have to touch her closer to her anus with your fingers and then, slightly insert your fingers into her anus. Note her reactions while you do it in order to go about the next step. You can kiss her all over the body to make her feel aroused. You must know the art of teasing and anticipation.


Use protection

You have to use a condom as it will protect you from getting any disease after getting in contact with the faecal material. Moreover, it will help your partner, as her rectum will not be filled with your semen. A rectum filled with semen can make a girl sick, so therefore, it is important for you to use protection.

Can A Person Get HIV From Oral Sex?


Oral sex is a part of sexual intercourse. Oral sex is performed to arouse the partner. Oral sex is less risky than vaginal or anal sex because it can’t make a female pregnant, plus the chances of having STDs are also quite less. Now, there is one major concern in the minds of the people regarding oral sex. People who are sexually active need to know whether they can get HIV from oral sex. 

The chances are less, but one still can’t write it off. Let’s just discuss a case; a female is giving blow job to her male partner who is affected by HIV. So, a blow job is given by sucking the penis of the male partner. The fluids of the male will enter into the mouth of the female, and if there are cuts and sores in the lips, then the fluids will enter the body from there as well. With the entrance of fluids, HIV will also enter into the body of the female.



Let us know take the scenario in which the male is licking the vagina of his female partner who is affected by HIV. His tongue is stimulating the vagina, causing fluids to enter into his mouth. This is good enough for HIV to affect another person. Though the chances of HIV are very less, yet a person can’t just ignore it.
A female who is blowing his partner off needs to spit the semen in order to reduce the risk for HIV. If she let it stay in the mouth, then she is asking for trouble. If she swallows the semen, then it will pass through stomach acid, and the enzymes present in the oesophagus will kill the virus. For women, it is not ideal to perform oral sex if there are sores in the mouth because then, the chances of getting HIV become more. Though, getting HIV from oral sex is a rare thing to happen, but there are other STDs, which can affect the person. These are: Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. 

The answer to the question of can you get HIV from Oral is Yes. There is a possibility that you can get HIV from Oral Sex, but it is quite rare to happen. We have discussed how women can get HIV by giving blow-jobs to their partners, so they have to either spit or swallow instead of wallow, if they want to avoid getting HIV. Same goes for men; if they are licking their female partners, then they will also have to either spit or swallow.

How to reduce the chances of getting HIV from Oral sex?


Women shouldn’t let their male partners to ejaculate in their mouth. Don’t go by the porn movies, as they do it for fun, but in reality, ejaculating in the mouth is not a healthy thing to do. While doing oral sex, it is better to use a barrier such as a condom or a dental dam to reduce the chances of HIV, STDs and Hepatitis. A latex condom is good enough to avoid any transmission of fluids. A dental dam does the same thing, but it looks a bit different than a condom. 

A dental dam is a thin square piece of silicon or latex that a woman can place over her vagina or anus before her male partner begins oral sex. A condom can be cut lengthwise to be used as a dental dam. The chances of HIV transmission through oral sex is even lower if the HIV positive person is taking the right medication, i.e., ART to suppress the virus from growing in the body. A person who has been tested negative for HIV can also take PrEP medicine to avoid the risk of getting HIV.

Sexual Health And Maintaining It On Optimum Levels


Sexual health was considered differently than health in previous times when talking about it was nothing short of a taboo. Since sexual activities are always kept behind closed curtains, talking about sexual health was considered an illicit activity. While women already were oppressed so could not discuss their sexual health issues with anyone, men due to their egoistic manner of socialism also kept it to themselves. As a result, for those who used to have any issues were suffering silently. Now as even researches have concluded, the sexual part of health is more of a debatable issue than ever.


How women take their sexual health?

While women discuss most of it among themselves now, men still find issues and rather resort to silent methodologies like stipulations as well as internet research for quenching their urge in their sexual issues. Maintaining sexual health is even more important than other aspects of health. While it affects us physically giving us immense types of pain, mentally they also have a variety of effects on psychology. Issues like erectile dysfunction are not  discussed among men.

While for both genders, females also have issues like STDs symptoms which cannot be eradicated by discussing with each other. There are a few steps which can be followed to ensure a proper sexual health apart from any sickness. Since sexual health is an integral part of full health, some of these tips will advise you to focus on daily health which correspondingly will help in maintaining sexual health.

Overall state of health has a huge impact on sexual health. Not falling ill and not having small issues like cough and cold has a huge impact on sexual health. While these issues look small, they lower our defense, affect our immunity and overall health depletes.

How obesity affects sexual health?

Obesity is another factor in maintaining sexual health. In both males and females, obesity makes you dull as well as leads to secretion of estrogenic in male’s hence decreasing libido and sperm count. Obesity also leads to other health issues such as diabetes and cholesterol’s impact on heart. Since cholesterol leads to irregular and high blood pressure, it means that there is no uniformity in blood pressure. This leads to low blood flow in veins of penis hence irregular and low erection time.

Losing some fat can tune up your metabolism, encourage testosterone production and can help general health as well as sexual health in long run. It also helps the heart and keeps blood pressure in control. STDs are another issues which must be kept in check. STDs occur too many of those who are sexually active but had got it in heredity or had the misfortune of coming in contact with someone who has it.

How to maintain a healthy sexual life?

To make your sexual life better, maintaining your sexual health in case of STDs is very important. Always get yourself checked for it and whenever you are with a new partner, get them checked too. If there is any infection found in you, diagnosis should not be limited to you but also to your sexual partner. Get them checked too. If there are any symptoms then it must be immediately discussed with your partner and then intercourse must be discontinued till it is eradicated. Contact a health practitioner and get it eliminated as soon as possible.

Diet is a chief driving force behind maintaining sexual health. Eating a well-balanced diet comprising of vitamins, minerals and health supplements makes sure that there is no lack of any nutrient in your body. This keeps the immunity up and if you had any STD in the past, it would not be an issue until you are having immunity as a backup.
