Bleeding after anal sex for the first time?

I had anal sex for the first time about 6 hours ago. It's the first time I've ever done anything really sexual. I have a small body... And very small compared to my boyfriend's. I went to wipe a few minutes ago (not after actually 'going to the bathroom') and found a *tiny* amount of blood. I've been looking and apparently it's normal, but what should I do to make sure everything is okay *besides* seeing a doctor?

... and that bleeding is one of the many common and unpleasant things about anal sex. The stretching and tearing of the sphincter muscles surrounding the anus can also be extremely painful... especially, if you don't use plenty of lubricant during intercourse. And, there is the high risk of getting a bacterial infection if vaginal penetration occurs after anal penetration... as fecal matter may find its way into the vagina.
But, if you're only having a "tiny" amount of bleeding, my guess is that it'll probably pass. In the mean time, try to keep the area clean.

What???

"First anal sex is very unhealthy and poses long term health affects including Fecal incontinence and other long term health problems."
***Really? Where is the evidence of this?

"They thought it was safe because they couldn't get pregnant"
***Hello??? Yes, just because you can't get pregnant doesn't mean you can't get an infection, disease or HIV! This goes for vaginal, oral or anal sex EQUALLY! This is not a "gay or bisexual" issue this is a "sexual health education" issue!
Why the hell are these people so stupid that they believe ANY sex is "safe"??? Where are their parents? Where is the school? Why aren't these people learning about safer sex???

"I live in Canada and in my province the rate of HIV carriers is higher in men because of bisexual/gay."
***I live in Canada and this is FALSE! This is a gay bashing statement to SCARE people straight! It is also a stereotype to assume that all bisexual men HAVE anal sex!

"Anal sex is easier to contract HIV even with a condom because of the blood transfer."
***If the condom is used properly no blood from the rectum of the female should get into the condom that is on the male penis or dildo/vibrator.

"Every time you have anal sex there is a very high chance of small tears in the rectum that occur and this is how HIV is transferred."
***Not quite!
Every time you have vaginal, anal or oral sex, there is a risk of a tear of tissue that creates an open wound, which is why some people learn not to floss their teeth within a few hours of giving oral pleasure and some people get reoccurring yeast infections.  HIV travels in blood, pre-***, seman and vaginal fluid. A woman with HIV could give another woman HIV from unprotected oral sex! Getting HIV is solely a "protective sex" issue and NOT a "sexual orientation" issue! To say that bi-sexual men or gay men get HIV more often than others is a stereotype and very offensive!  

"If you are heterosexual girl stay away from anal sex no matter who your partner is, even a husband. It has too many long term negative effects"
***I am sooooo glad I am not a heterosexual girl! I LOVE when my husband penatrates my anus and he has also made me achieve orgasm during anal sex! I wouldn't stop doing it if you PAID me!!! Also WHST long term effects? How long term? The first time I had anal sex was 14 years ago and I don't have any negative issues my *** is just fine!!!

Hi Jane,

I work in the health care community and concerned about you having anal sex.

First anal sex is very unhealthy and poses long term health affects including Fecal incontinence and other long term health problems.

I have also unfortunately seen my share of female patients who have contracted HIV from having anal sex with partners they didn't even realize were bisexual males who had HIV. They thought it was safe because they couldn't get pregnant so decided to only have anal but they didn't look at the statistics of HIV in their country. I live in Canada and in my province the rate of HIV carriers is higher in men because of bisexual/gay.

Anal sex is easier to contract HIV even with a condom because of the blood transfer. Every time you have anal sex there is a very high chance of small tears in the rectum that occur and this is how HIV is transferred.

Please rethink having anal sex, it's not safe even with a condom. So many young women come crying to me thinking it was safe so they wouldn't get pregnant or because their partners wanted to try it and convinced their partners they weren't bisexual or had a bisexual experience.

If you are heterosexual girl stay away from anal sex no matter who your partner is, even a husband. It has to many long term negative affects

If you are also someone who is active in sex please ask your doctor for a yearly HIV test.
