According to several studies, males may have their own so-called G-spot located near the prostate that increases orgasm strength. The best way to stimulate this area is through the anus and rectum. However, many but not all men seem to have this G-spot.
#2 It is how HIV/AIDS is spread
Many people wonder if anal sex is safe due to the fear of HIV/AIDS. Firstly, it is possible to transmit HIV through any mode of intercourse. However, the act of anal penetration is not the direct cause.
HIV is spread through body fluids, such as blood, semen, and vaginal fluid. Therefore, both unprotected vaginal and anal penetration carry a risk. However, injectable drug use through shared needles is another major risk factor.
Anal intercourse is often linked to men who have sex with men (MSM), as this group is the most statistically at-risk for HIV. Due to the difference of the normal flora and anatomy of the anus versus the vagina, anal sex carries a higher risk of injury. When not done carefully, anal penetration can cause tearing, fissures, and exposure to pathogens through these wounds. The risk of transmission is greater for the partner that is the “receiver” or the one being penetrated, although both partners carry some risk of exposure.
However, if both partners are HIV-negative, there is no risk of transmitting HIV to one another as long as you both are monogamous and not exposed to HIV through other ways.

#3 It is painful
Penetrative (insertive) sexual intercourse can be painful. This is not exclusive to anal sex but also vaginal sex. In fact, the term for painful vaginal sex is dyspareunia. Note that dyspareunia is not normal; you should get it checked especially if it always occurs during intercourse. Truthfully, the risk of pain is greater with anal sex. This is due to the smaller opening, thinner skin, and lack of self-lubrication, unlike the vagina. Additionally, the anus is highly sensitive due to the number of nerve endings in the area.
#4 It is “dirty” or unhygienic
Naturally, many people have a negative image of anal sex due to the rectum’s association with wastes. While it is a given that our stool passes the rectum and anus, there are ways to keep things clean.
