Anal fingering

[Fluffy_elephant]

My boyfriend and I have just recently started anal play. All he’s done is use his finger and gone all the way in. But, the first time I go to the bathroom to poop after we do it I have a lot of blood come out of my butthole. What causes this? Should I be worried?

Hey Fluffy_elephant -- it's common for some to experience light bleeding (a few drops, lighter in color) after anal penetration, and this is due to the fact that anal issue is a little more sensitive and fingernails or friction can irritate it. Can you be a little more specific about what you mean by "a lot of blood" for us? If you're experiencing a lot of blood, this is something you should absolutely see a doctor for because there may be an underlying cause for the excessive bleeding.
