Unprotected Anal Sex is HIGH RISK

 

Anal sex is putting the penis or finger into the anus for sexual pleasure. Like any sexual act, anal sex should be consensual. If your partner’s not into it, respect their decision and don’t pressurise them. And if the shoe’s on the other foot be honest about how you feel.

 

Having unprotected anal sex is a high risk for almost every sexually transmitted infection.

 

You can reduce the risks during anal sex by always using a condom and using the water based or silicone lubrication.

 

To be safe and lower the risks remember to:

 

• Be careful not to spill any semen when taking the condom off

• Avoid touching the eyes, mouth or any broken skin after ejaculation.

• Change condoms before having oral or vaginal sex
