Cosmopolitan - Bleeding after anal sex

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

""It's not unexpected that [anal sex] would cause bleeding." Does that mean you should never put anything up your butt hole? No! It just means you need to take some extra precautions, like, say, a little thing called a shit-ton of lube"

"It's not a sprint, it's a marathon back there. And you want to make to the finish line without any bleeding or discomfort."

Wtf

There are no words.
I am so sick of this.
All of it.

Why is it being presented by a women's magazine as 'normal'?

Does anyone know who owns Cosmo?

Bleeding, anal prolapse, need for anaesthetic during oral sex, risk of death from choking /beating - all perfectly normal consequences of a healthy sex life kids.

If you're experiencing significant discomfort or pain after anal sex, you should see a doctor.

Or just say no...

I saw it being questioned about in an agony aunt section in one of my mum's mags. The reply didn't even mention choice or it being ok if you don't like the idea. It was all instructional.

I bet it's the same in teen magazines. My daughter isn't quite old enough for them but I'm in despair just thinking about it.

Jesus wept!

If the best that the journo thinks one can expect from a sexual encounter is to avoid too much bleeding or discomfort...well, I feel sorry for them TBH.

I don't tend to bleed but I think most women could tell the difference between a small tear caused by sex and a heavier more sinister bleed.

My daughter is 12. I can't quite believe she has all this ahead of her. If I'd known this was the world I was sending a child into, I wouldn't have had her.

No body when I am meant to be having fun is ever going to put anything up my bum.
Ever ever

A SMALL TEAR
WTAF

It’s sex. Should be fun
Not small tears and tending not to bleed

I always had the rule that if a man wanted anal sex with me I want to do it to him first with a dildo. Funny that they always refused....

Exactly

Small tears in the anus are common. Can even be caused by having a poo.

TBH the anal sex is sorer than any small tear. (But so worth it)

Genuine question. In what way is it worth it?

Besides I don't get the fuss over having an article on this. Many women enjoy anal sex a small number may be worried by a little bleeding.

All the more reason to avoid it then, surely?!

I agree

Itsallgoingtobefine: genuine answer - I really enjoy it and have a much heightened orgasm with anal.

Ffs
Tears bleeding such fun
When did that become the definition of fun sex

This!

I have friends who prefer anal over vaginal sex.
