If you’re worried about hygiene, washing your genitals with mild soap and water before you have oral sex might make you feel more comfortable — especially when it comes to anal oral sex. It’s also a good idea to shower afterward, as this can help stop the spread of bacteria that may cause an infection.

You can get a bowel infection if you get infected poop in your mouth during anal oral sex. When bacteria from the bowel end up in your digestive tract, it can cause stomach pain and diarrhea. It’s also possible to pass on
There is vast evidence that anal sex has been practised throughout history. In Latin America, several sculptures of human figures that depict vaginal, oral and anal sexual activities have been found. These figures belonged to pre-Hispanic societies that lived on the continent before the conquest and colonization by the Spanish (1).
For example, in northwest Mexico, where Tlatilco culture once thrived, representations of human figures engaging in sexual intercourse have been found, dated from the year 1000 B.C. (1). In the north coast of Peru, there have been discoveries of human sculptures practicing oral, vaginal and/or anal sex. These miniature figures belonged to the Mochica culture and date back to the year 700 A.C. (1). In Colombia, a small ceramic sculpture from the Tumaco-La Tolita culture has been found that depicts a man with anal dilatation (1).
Anal sex practices carry bigger risks of HIV infection, in comparison with vaginal or oral sex (4).
