Rainbow Youth & Family Planning Ass’n – Is anal sex important? Because such a big deal is made by heterosexuals about men having intercourse with women, a lot of people think that anal intercourse is the only way gay and bisexual men can have real sex with each other. This isn't true. Anal intercourse is just one way of having sex. There's nothing special about it apart from that it is the sexual activity that carries the most risk of HIV transmission. Your anus can be sexually stimulating just like your penis. This is because it has a lot of sensitive nerve-endings around the outside and also inside it, just like the nerves in the head of your penis. When these nerve endings are being touched or stroked it can be a real turn on. You may find you like anal sex the best of all or you might not like it much at all. It's up to you. However, the most important thing to remember is that you must use a condom and lube to protect yourself from HIV and reduce the likelihood of getting other STIs. There are some men who only enjoy being the "top" (doing the f**king), and some men who only enjoy being the bottom (getting f**ked). But most like it both ways. It's good taking turns at being top and bottom. The number one rule is to use a condom and plenty of water or silicone based lube for your's and your partner's well-being. Be happy with your ass You have probably been told as you have grown up that you’re a** is a dirty place and shouldn't be touched. This is silly. People should be happy with all parts of their bodies, and if they aren't, it might mean they aren't happy with themselves generally. It is true that you get rid of waste out of your anus, but that's not the only thing that it's good for. You p**s out your penis, but you can do more things with your c**k than that. Your anus is only dirty when it hasn't been cleaned - just like any other part of your body. Also, by using condoms and lube there is protection from all sorts of bacteria as well as HIV and STI's that may be residing deep inside.

“Gender identity is a person’s own sense of identification as male or female… You might feel like you weren’t born with the right body, or even feel somewhere in between. Or even be “gender queer”, this is where you’re one gender or the other and don’t feel like you completely identify with that gender or the other.

“These are great at helping to protect you from STIs.”

“Used correctly, condoms are up to 98% effective.”

“If used correctly every time, condoms are 90-98% effective. They are easy to use, easy to carry, your best protection against STIs and come in many different sizes, colours, flavours, and textures for extra stimulation! Cheapest from the doctor, Family Planning or Sexual Health Clinic where you can get heaps for $3!”

Food & Drug Administration “Condoms may be more likely to break during anal intercourse….Even if the condom doesn’t break, anal intercourse is very risky…”

Surgeon General C Everett Koop “Condoms provide some protection, but anal intercourse is simply too dangerous to practice.”

“... emphasise protecting and enjoying themselves without worry, rather than the risks of some behaviour.” (emphasis added) Family Planning
