Risk of Anal-vaginal Contact Posted: 04-06-07 07:00am
Hi,
Apparently there is a huge risk of
infection if the vagina is penetrated
directly after anal sex (called
"double-dipping" sometimes.. nice image, I
know..) but I can't seem to find any
mention of what these infections are and
how likely they might be!
Does anyone know? This could be a real
helper in negotiating this tricky business
with my boyfriend, who is extremely
well-informed but doesn't hesitate to
"double-dip".
Thanks in advance!

You risk infection with Escherichia coli.

Like night said, you are at risk for e.
coli, as well as other infections. Like
you, I have had trouble finding out
exactly what all of those infections are.
Usually people just say "serious
infections" or "various infections" and
leave it at that.
Honestly though, all he needs to know is
that it is not good for you when he does
that. If he does not care and does it
anyway, well, that's not a good sign.
"No" means "no" even if you're in a
relationship. A safer way to do it would
be to have him wear a condom during anal
sex. If you both want to switch to
vaginal, he can remove that condom.
