anal sex and infections
anal sex and infections
This is a very embarrassing question, so I'm just going to apologize in advance. my partner and I have been having anal sex for a few months now, and we normally begin anal sex without a condom. This is because condoms create fiction that makes anal sex very painful for me (even with lube). I'm not comfortable with him finishing that way so we always put on a condom and switch to vaginal sex. Is putting on a condom enough to protect me from getting a vaginal infection from the anal sex? Should I insist on wiping him down with wipes before we put on the condom and switch to vaginal sex? I wasn't very concerned, but I recently had an infection (most likely caused by medication) and it got me thinking.

Re: anal sex and infections
Hi CJ4289,
A condom should help you avoid an infection, although if it makes you feel more comfortable for him to also clean off before hand, that's definitely an option. Since you're having unprotected sex, you'll also want to make sure you're staying consistent on the STI testing regime you've started.

And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
