All your (anal) sex questions, answered!

Dear Alice,

Last night, my girlfriend and I had anal sex without a condom. She is a virgin.

Is there a probability for her to get pregnant?

I would appreciate a lot your help.

Dear Worried Boy,

The anal opening leads to the rectum (the storage area for feces prior to defecation), which is one segment of the large intestine. The large intestine is an organ that is part of the exclusive and fully-enclosed gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which is open at a person's lips, ending at the anal opening. More importantly, regarding your question, the GI system is not directly connected with the reproductive tract; therefore, sperm entering the anus cannot swim through the GI tract to reach the egg in the reproductive tract. Similarly, sperm entering the mouth cannot cause pregnancy.

The only way a woman might possibly become pregnant from anal play is if ejaculated semen is near the opening of the vagina and that semen happens to work its way deep into the vaginal opening. Otherwise, there is no chance of conception with anal sex.

If you are unsure of your STI (sexually transmitted infection) status, however, it would be important to use safer sex techniques, such as a latex condom, during any sexual activity, including anal sex.

What kind of person doesn't realize that anal sex is not procreative?

Shark Bait · Post by **Shark Bait** » 2004-05-13 01:59am

The same type of person who asks questions like this

ORAL SEX — PREGNANT?
Dear Alice,

Can pregnancy be caused by swallowing the ejaculate during oral sex?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Reader,

To think about your question in another way, does anything you eat end up in your reproductive system and in the same form as it was consumed?

Luckily not.

When you swallow semen, or anything else for that matter, it begins to digest in the mouth, then in the stomach, and so on, until whatever cannot be utilized by the body is excreted. Sperm will die from its breakdown through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. But even if sperm lived, your mouth does not directly lead to your reproductive system; therefore, it is impossible that swallowing ejaculate during oral sex will make you pregnant.

However, Alice cautions that you are at risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), if your partner is infected. To reduce your risk of contracting or transmitting STDs, you and your partner should practice safer sex techniques, such as using an oral or dental dam during oral sex. Also read archived Alice, Oral sex risks with no condom?, for more information.

Anyone stupid enough to ask such questions should be told that a vasectomy is a necessary operation for all men or they'll get cancer, and that he should make an appointment to have one done immediately. Make sure he won't reproduce.

Good enough idea for stupid men but does not eliminate stupid women, perhaps a more radical approch is necicary maybe cash prizes for darwin awards. Folks these days will do anything for money and a little bit of fame, better yet The snuff channel

There were the couples in Singapore who, because of the government's very draconian and effective control of the media and free speech, honestly did not know how to have sex at all. And there are all the kids of fundie parents whose only "knowledge" about sex is that it's all sinful and evil and they shouldn't ask or talk about it. They're scared to ask any teachers or read any books about it, but when they go ahead and do it anyway (probably from some older person at school) they have absolutely no knowledge of their anatomy or sex or reproduction or anything about the birds and the bees and how that's all supposed to work. Or worse, the information they get is all horribly wrong stuff whispered by their peers who are themselves absolutely ignorant but trying to sounds smart.

I'm more inclined to feel sorry for the poor kids who were probably too scared to look it up but finally got up the courage to ask anonymously online...only to make huge fools of themselves. I say more inclined because, in my personal experience, a lot of those people who think such stupid things ARE complete idiots who should never be allowed to breed (but unfortunately many of them had by the end of high school), but I also knew a few poor kids who weren't stupid but were profoundly ignorant and scared to change it because of their upbringing. They seemed to be the type who would ask those questions. The completely stupid ones just get some moronic idea about how it all works and end up having a kid nine months later.

I will admit that is a destinct possibliy but what is implyed is that the person had some working knowledge of sex, so I assumed that we were dealing with someone who was a bit older and not quite so ashamed of sex.

Speaking of anal sex, why do people do it?

I mean, the anus is a place where shit spews out. Why would you want to cram your dick into it? Even if your dick was protected, would you want to hold shit with gloves? Maybe its fun, because its tight and it's like a virgin pussy, but isn't it still EEEEW?

And why would you want a dick in your ass? You bleed and feel horrible when a huge turd goes out of your ass. Won't an erect dick make you even bleed some more and make you feel more horrible? Even if there's lubricant, isn't it still uncomfortable?

Just a 15 year old asking.

You might aswell ask why people like oral sex...after all, you're talking about the area of the body that urine passes from being mixed together with the bit food is meant to go in....

Simple answer why people do anything, its fun.

Actually, there are lots of not-very-smart people who write in to this Alice to ask her incredibly stupid questions. I remember one time where this kid who had just beaten off for the first time wrote in to ask if his jizz wasn't just the coconut lotion he had used as lube (seriously).

Dear Alice,

Last night, my girlfriend and I had anal sex without a condom. She is a virgin.

What? I mean: WHAT? Is this some kind of I-dont-want-to-lose-my-virginity-thing? That's weird. *shakes head*

Because it feels good.

What makes you think there's shit encrusted everywhere in there?

And why would you want a dick in your ass? You bleed and feel horrible when a huge turd goes out of your ass. Won't an erect dick make you even bleed some more and make you feel more horrible? Even if there's lubricant, isn't it still uncomfortable?

Rebecca says it's a bit uncomfortable when I first put it in. But she also says she has the most powerful orgasms that way.

Just a 15 year old asking.

Teenagers are usually much more hung-up about bodily functions than adults.

it happens. i used to know this one girl that'd give head at the drop of a hat and would do anal as well, but wouldn't do vaginal for that very reason.

Well, I understand that. Since cramming your dick into any enclosed space is quite good. But I'm just asking since I'm concerned for the other partner's prespective.

Well...since it's a tight hole where nothing but shit and air goes through...

Rebecca says it's a bit uncomfortable when I first put it in. But she also says she has the most powerful orgasms that way.

How is that possible?

Is the ass and vagina linked in some weird way? How can you have orgasms when having a dick shoved up your ass?

When they shoved a pain killing pill up my ass, it didn't feel good.

Yup. Assholes are icky, shitty and they have cooties!

God, you are the grand master of anal sex. I bow down to you.

there's a nerve bundle between the vagina and rectum that allows for more intense orgasms when stimulated. the most direct way to do so is anal.

It depends on the other partners perspective of course, however the previous lass I was with found it quite fun though wierd at first.

A lot of these questions come from people like the fucking idiots who populate my high school. Thank you, General Atmosphere of Religious Repression.

These can't all be real. I mean:

"I was just wondering....... You can't get pregnant from masturbation right? I did it once today, but I know you need a guy to get pregnant, but it is worrying me."

That's just fucking dumb.

Yes, but the difference between my post and your Saturday night is that there were no vaginas within 50 feet of you Saturday night.
