What Happens If You Have Vaginal Sex After Anal Sex?

Anal sex has been linked to a lot of health concerns. The anus doesn't naturally lubricate, which means that if you don't use lube, you will actually be forcing your way into the organ. This can lead to injuries because the anus consists of a lot of nerve endings and is therefore very sensitive. Your anus is meant to hold faecal matter and is designed accordingly. The anus also consists of bacteria and too many of them. Once you have anal sex, your penis is exposed to those bacteria and if you have vaginal sex without cleaning your penis, you are putting the woman at risk of various types of infections that the bacteria can cause. The chances of vaginal and urinary tract infections increases if you have vaginal sex after having anal sex. This is possible, even after you have worn a condom. The surface of the condom may carry the bacteria to the vagina.

Not just vaginal sex, going for oral sex after anal sex can also have adverse health effects. Just avoid inserting your penis into the mouth or vagina after it has entered in the anus. You can either change the condom or clean yourself thoroughly before going ahead.
