Unlike the vagina, the anus lacks lubrication.
As with vaginal tissue, tissue inside the anus is
more sensitive than tissue outside the anus.
The anus tissue is thinner, delicate, and more
likely to tear and bleed as a result of penetration.
This increases the likelihood of passing infections,
viruses, or bacteria between partners.
Even two partners who don’t have any sexually
transmitted infections can still pass bacteria
between each other through these tears in the
skin.
