Hi! So I am really new to anal penetration, I've only done it a handful of times then stopped for a month or two because we both lost gusto for it (and I had a tummy ache and constipation which sorta called for a halt to activity)...
But the first few times were good, we eased into it, used lube, it wasn't all that painful and I was totally relaxed and ready for it.

Flash forward to last weekend, after a month hiatus of anal play, while using lube and feeling relaxed and horny.. I experienced some pain at the beginning of penetration. Like, enough to make me say, hey let's stop for a minute. And then I couldn't enjoy it as much.


I believe I've had hemorrhoids in the past, but never went to a doctor for them. During the first foray into anal sex, I remember we had it a bit "too often" for my body and I had pain with the first bowel movement after sex one time, and light bleeding. I thought nothing of it really. Then in the hiatus period, I started to have a little bleeding with my bowel movements, but I've been drinking fluids and eating fiber... and these bowel movements weren't constipated by any means..

So NOW, after the anal sex I had this past weekend, I had a bowel movement and then noticed definite blood.

I'm wondering if maybe my booty does not want to handle anal sex? I mean, I was sick last week, so I have been WELL hydrated- absolutely certain I'm not constipated and irritating myself too badly.
Does anybody have any suggestions? Would a thicker lube help (we've been using KY Yours but not the mine lol)?

I am really bummed out by this because I do remember really enjoying myself with the anal sex we've had before.. And I'm having an LEEP in a week, so vaginal sex is going to go away for 3-4 weeks after that... which would make anal sex stand out in my mind...
