Fisting seems unneeded and anal is not comfortable, I have tried it

Like fisting and anal with no medical education.

I do not have a medical education, do not like anal sex, and do enjoy fisting

They recommend fisting to pregnant woman (dubbed "perianal massage") though?

do not like anal

Um, fisting is not the same thing as perineal massage.

When I was going through classes this is a subject that came up often when ever we where learning about various procedures that involed the anus. Example: don't lose the thermometer in their butt. Constipation if it is not caught in a patient can lead to by hand removal of feces. Various objects found and removed. Medication through the anus. Anemas. Perferation through the intestines, hernia. etc. Most of these classes came with warnings against anal sex due to the dangers. Other dangers involve infections.

I was curious about anal for I have been pressured to try it. Due to my educational background I continue to bulk and was wondering how many with similar education background try anal vs. no medical education. I'm soffy if I confused any one.

Lol not confused at all, dear. I was just curious as to why some options were left out. Thanks for explaining it though!

They are not unrelated. When my kinky friend was pregnant they used fisting as a form of perineal massage.

FWIW, most sexual activities have a risk, the key with anal and fisting is learning to do them safely. I have participated in both activities extensively in my 17 years of being sexually active, and have never had problems from either, with the exception of an occasional hemmheroid (which I get from a poor diet, too). Kegels, lube, education, warm up and communication, are all important elements of these advanced activities.

isnt anything id personally do

Well, now that's a big difference to your original statement that fisting is recommended to pregnant women. I'm sure you can use fisting as a form of perineal massage, but you made it sound like perineal massage was a medical term for fisting. I doubt there are many, if any, medical doctors recommending fisting. heh

I was trained as a nurse a long time ago, and I keep up with more modern updated and enlightened views of things. I am also a Lactation Consultant and a lot of the things I learned while training as a nurse about breastfeeding was simply completely wrong, ignorant and based on someone's bias, not fact.

I did my own research about anal sex, and overcame the fear and BS that they tried to instill in me (although, honestly, they scared us more about breastfeeding, something virtually EVERY woman can do, with help, than they ever did about anal sex. I don't remember anal sex being mentioned more than once or twice. Of course, taking care of impacted feces, which we just let the Residents take care of most of the time (which has NOTHING to do with anal sex, anal doesn't impact feces, if anything is loosens things up) to "foreign objects in the rectum" which, of course an MD has to be present to work with etc.

I've done my own research, and know that, when done properly, harm will not be done to the body by either anal sex or "fisting." (Which most of the time doesn't involve an actual fist, more than a hand in a more relaxed position.)

I enjoy both and the latest non biased medical data concludes both can be performed on most people in a safe way. (not all, some people simply can't engage in receptive anal sex, although all vaginas can stretch temporarily for "fisting.)

I do not have a medical education but I don't engage in any fisting. I do have anal sex sometimes, but not a lot

You shouldn't be pressured into doing anything! That should never never be the case. You should do something you want to do.

I am also a CNA and I like fisting and anal. There are risks and dangers to everything. Cross the street, you might get hit. Drive somewhere you might get into an accident, Fly you might crash.........

Do you want to live your life around a bunch of could happens or do you want to be happy??? I choose happy.

but like I said you should never be PRESSURED into doing anything. IF you decide to try anal take your time, go slow, have plenty of lube and if you don't like it stop. Maybe try again another day. I was an avid anti-anal woman when my husband brought it to my attention he wanted to try it, but with his loving touch and encouragement we got there.
