Anal sex, also known as anal intercourse, is the term used for any sexual activity involving the anus, anal cavity, sphincter valve and/or rectum, but it’s more particularly used for erect penis insertion into the rectum through the anus. Anal sex is practiced by both heterosexual and homosexual partners.

Anal sex without condom can be an effective way of passing on Sexually Transmissible Diseases (STDs). Anal penetration carries more risks than vaginal intercourse, oral sex, and outercourse. The reason is that rectum and colon are not self-lubricating like the vagina and the delicate colorectal tissue can get damaged more easily due to insertion and friction. Anal penetration can result in physical injury (anal rupture) because the colorectal passage curves are neither strongly muscled nor padded. Colorectal function includes absorption of fluid into the blood stream, providing an efficient entry point for STDs and an easy barrier to cross through even small tears in the intestinal lining.

The insertion of objects with edges or points in anus can be dangerous, and can cause severe injury. Any object forced more than seven or eight inches (17-20 cm) into anus can collide with the sigmoid colon, a bend in the intestine, Rough anal sex can result in internal bleeding with potentially fatal results.

Anal sex activities like “anal felching” and “rimming” are more risky, and carry more risks of STD/STI transmission. Felching, also known as snowballing, is a sexual practice of sucking or licking semen out of vagina or anus after intercourse. Rimming, also termed as rimjob or anal-oral contact or anilingus, is a sexual activity of licking anus or anal areas. Anilingus is even more riskier than cunnilingus.

Fellatio, popular part of oral sex, is a sexual activity that involves the use of the mouth and tongue, to stimulate male genitalia. It’s oral stimulation of the penis.

Technically, fellatio is to take the glans of the erect penis in the mouth while rhythmically caressing the rest of the penis with the hands; the testes and the shaft of the penis can also be licked with the tongue. It’s usually performed by female partner as foreplay before intercourse, as climax of a sexual act, or even following intercourse. Fellatio is commonly slanged as "giving head to," "blowjob" or "sucking off".

Fellatio, when performed to climax, puts both male as well as female involved in the activity, at moderate risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

According to HIV prevention guidelines, people involved in fellatio are almost in the high risk category. The people who usually indulge in unprotected oral sex (fellatio/cunnilingus) are at greater risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases. Fellatio without ejaculation is in the low risk category, though pre-come may contain viruses.

If a woman performing fellatio is having sores in mouth, cuts in the mouth, or tiny cuts from brushed etc., she may put herself at risk of STDs if her man is suffering from any; or she may put her man at risk, if she is suffering from any of STDs.

AIDS is Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome. AIDS is a chronic disease and it is caused by HIV virus. HIV virus has crossed all religions, national borders and all cultures. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) destroys all the cells of our immune system. By destroying the cells of immune system it decreases the body’s ability to fight against bacteria, fungi and virus that cause disease. In U.S.A., 950,000 people are infected from this fatal disease.

AIDS spreads through transfusion of HIV infected blood to a healthy person. It also spreads by sharing syringes or needles, which are contaminated with HIV virus. AIDS spreads by sexual contact with a person suffering from HIV virus. It spreads by having unprotected sex with multiple partners. It also spreads from pregnant mother to newly born baby. Some symptoms of this deadly disease are: loss of weight, diarrhea, cough, fever, persistent white spots on your tongue, fever higher than 100 F for several weeks, shortness of breath and swollen lymph nodes.

There is no proper medicine that can cure AIDS. Scientists have developed some injections and medicines, which can extend and improve the quality of life. Scientists have discovered highly active antiretroviral therapy to treat AIDS but this treatment is very costly. It costs more than $12,000 a year.

Syphilis is caused by the bacterium Treponema Pallidum. Syphilis is caused by sexual relations with an infected person. Syphilis affects skin, mucous membrane and genitals. In syphilis sores occur on rectum, vagina, anus and external genitals. Some times, sores also occur in mouth and on the lips of infected person. Syphilis spreads from one person to another through direct contact with syphilis sores during sex.

Syphilis spreads during vaginal, oral or anal sex with an infected person. Syphilis bacteria can enter the body through minor cuts or abrasions in the skin. Syphilis is also caused by transfusion of infected blood to a healthy person. It also spreads from infected mother to newly born baby.

In the primary stage, multiple sores appear on the skin. These sores are firm, round, painless and these sores usually appear near that part of the body from where the syphilis bacteria entered the body. If this disease is not treated properly, then the infection advances to secondary stage. In secondary stage, several reddish-brown rashes appear on the skin. Other symptoms of this disease are: weight loss, fever, swollen lymph nodes, patchy hair loss, sore throat and weakness. In the last stage, this disease becomes very dangerous and damages internal vital organs of body like liver, bones, brain, heart, blood vessels and joints. This results in the death of the patient.

If this disease is diagnosed at early stage then it can be cured. Penicillin is very much effective to cure this disease. Person who is undergoing syphilis treatment must avoid sexual relations with his partner until the sores are completely healed. Always use latex condoms during sex. Avoid excessive use of alcohol, which leads to unsafe sexual practices. Be honest with your life partner.
