Quote: Pariah said: From more than one source, I'm given the direct statement and reluctant admittance (from the author) that even monogamous anal sex, on a long enough timeline, causes lasting negative effects to the colon interior/anterior. And this isn't by uncommon accidents.
Where? I didn't see this.
Quote: http://www.ccicinc.org/policyresearch/072103.html Even those homosexual relationships that are loosely termed "monogamous" do not necessarily result in healthier behavior.
The journal AIDS reported that men involved in relationships engaged in anal intercourse and oral-anal intercourse with greater frequency than those without a steady partner.15 Anal intercourse has been linked to a host of bacterial and parasitical sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS. The exclusivity of the relationship did not diminish the incidence of unhealthy sexual acts, which are commonplace among homosexuals. An English study published in the same issue of the journal AIDS concurred, finding that most "unsafe" sex acts among homosexuals occur in steady relationships.16
I am a gay man in a long term, monogamous relationship. I have never received anal sex before my current boyfriend, and have been extremely safe (condoms, lube, etc). We have both been tested for HIV and are negative, and I am a very clean, hygienic person. However, over the past few weeks, I have noticed a slight itching around my anus. In addition, I've been extremely sore underneath my testicles (prostate area?) and have recently started having very bad lower back pains. I am functioning completely normal (urine and feces) but have noticed that I now have a more intense urge to urinate, and more often than before (which I am assuming is normal). My boyfriend's penis is quite large and I was wondering if this was possibly doing any sort of internal damage to my prostate/inner organs.
Will participating in anal sex increase my chances of cancer or urinary tract infections? What can I do to ensure that I am taking all necessary safety precautions? Could the itching be caused by the lube or the condom (I highly doubt that it is a sexually transmitted disease, as we are both ABSOLUTELY not cheating on each other and have been tested)? Could you recommend any clinic I could go to to follow up on the lower back problems (very intense pain), and for a general checkup?
Answer
You really MUST get this sorted out at a Genito-Urinary Medicine (GUM) clinic - as soon as possible. I don't know where you live, so I just advise you to ring your nearest large hospital, and ask where the clinic is.
Looking specifically at your problems: Itching round the bottom can be due to fungal infection, eczema, allergy, piles and other conditions. The GUM Clinic will diagnose it for you; The pain and urinary symptoms do suggest a possible prostate or bladder infection, though it's difficult to say whether that would be due to anal sex.
The GUM Clinic will do the necessary tests and give you treatment.
Please to note the commonality of UTI within the numbers of sexually active homosexuals.
Moreovem, modeling monogamous homosexual relations with straight ones, as homosexuals are prone to doing, it's pretty self-evident that if one was to go about anal penetration with as much regularity as is allowed and practiced by straight couples, the sphincter muscle would eventually suffer from a type of incompetence.
