It is quite common to get small anal fissures as a result of trying to force an object without adequate lubrication, or simply from attempting to insert an object that is simply to large for your anal opening. From what I've read, they're not a major concern, but if a fissure is what you're experiencing, you should definitely take a break from anal for at least a couple weeks to let it heal.

I've had the same problem recently. The past few times we were maybe a little hasty with the insertion process and it hurt a little, but not so much that we couldn't continue with the play. The past few times, though (with breaks of a couple of weeks between play sessions) there's been some blood after he pulls out, most notably the most recent time when there was maybe half a teaspoon of it. It freaked us both out, and I wasn't expecting it at all because I'd felt only the slightest twinges of pain upon entry and everything else felt great.

We use lots of lube and realize that we should definitely try a bit more foreplay (and I've since bought Intimate Organics' Anal Relaxing Spray to try next time), but I'm worried that the damage has already been done since lately I'm way more prone to bleeding than in the past. Ugh. Will taking a break of a few weeks be enough? Is there anything else I can try? I heard that hot baths can help, but the frequency was supposed to be at least twice a day, which is a bit much for my schedule.

I posted about this a while ago. Three weeks ago, -cough- as my no-vaginal-sex countdown is officially over tomorrow.

I was really worried, but I can report that things are fine for me. I read that a lot of the rubbing back and forth can stir up hemorrhoids. And everyone HAS hemorrhoids, they're veins back there- but people usually only have issues enough to call them hemorrhoids when they've been irritated.

If it is a small fissure, or if it is a stirred up hemorrhoid, I'd suggest the same things.
Lay off the anal play for a few days or weeks, depending on how sore you are or how much blood you have. And really actually watch what you eat- if you tend to be constipated, drink more water and eat more roughage (apples, salads, etc).
I have had quite a mean history with constipation, so I just pick up a bottle of colace or stool softener and take them when I'm having a bad bout and I'm eating fine and drinking enough water otherwise.

It's good practice, too, because you don't want irritation back there! Make sure you're relaxed, like others have said. Use lots of lube. But give it a little break.

If the bleeding is really heavy, see a doctor immediately.
If you continue to bleed every day, every bowel movement, then I'd also schedule an appt with your doctor because you might have other problems going on.

i went to the doc with the same prob and he told me not to worry. that i just tore tissue and that it was ganna heal right up. and it did.

I never dabbled in anal play, but I did notice blood once from my vagina after masturbating. It was from being too tight and too eager to play. I healed very quickly.

Does anal play cause hemroids?

ive bleed before too, its normal if the object is very large that is being inserted.

I've often wondered this and have many times been to eager and impatient and forced things when i shouldn't have. I've always taken a break, lets things heal up, slowly work back into things. Good to read over this discussion.

may be you should see a doctor
