Anal sex brings many intense emotions.
Many researchers have stated that the feeling of orgasm during anal sex is more intense, creating a much deeper impression than traditional sex. The reason for this is because the anus concentrates many sensitive nerves, some of which are directly connected to the nerves in the genitals.
For women, anal sex helps women reach orgasm more easily. As for men, having sex through the back door will help stimulate the prostate gland, thereby creating pleasure.
Health benefits of anal sex:

Answer the question: is it okay to bleed during anal sex and if so, what is it?
Because the anus is not a genitalia like the vagina, it will not have cells that secrete natural lubricants (vaginal fluid) to facilitate sex. In addition, the rectal mucosa is also much thinner than the inside of the vagina. These are the reasons why anal sex creates a lot of friction, making it easy for anal and rectal tears to occur and cause anal bleeding.
When tears are created, although very small, they can still cause pain and when defecating, bacteria will penetrate these tears, causing infection and even anal abscess - a relatively dangerous deep skin infection that often requires treatment with antibiotics.
3. Can anal sex cause HIV infection?

The biggest risk when having anal sex is that this type of intercourse increases the risk of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.
