    I heard this somewhere. I'm not sure if it's true. But if it is, does that mean that one would have to limit the number of times they have anal sex in their life?

    The notion that the anus loses elasticity after too much anal sex is incorrect. As long as the act is done properly you should have no problem with it getting loose. The anus can however lose it's elasticity if it is damaged. To prevent this just make sure that you start slowly, and stop if there is any pain, it is the body's signal that something is WRONG.

    The average penis is the roughly the same size as the average poo and will put the same amount on strain on your anus. Regular anal sex will not stretch or loosen your anus in the long term (make sure you use lube though).

    'Non regular' sex could possibly, e.g. fisting or using massive toys.

    Thank you guys for clarifying it for me. I never would have thought those myths that gay men have loose anuses and have to wear diapers would be - well - myths. It's really a shock to me. I've always been expecting some noticeable negative side effects to anal sex but it seems even if there are side effects, they are not really noticeable.

    Also, I wouldn't use the term "elasticity" as it is series of muscles that contract and relax.

    I assumed you were going to say that lo, because I saw that in the news recently. Deadly stuff indeed.

    Apparently people had deflated it now.

    I don't know about loose anuses but I think that had something to do with douching your anus excessively- I hear it can essentially damage the sensitive mucosa in the very inner level of the rectum near the sigmoid colon. I think however it is important to note that excessive anal sex does help with mentally teaching yourself in a sense to loosen up and not tighten up. Remember that the anus has two sphincters, an internal sphincter that has a role in faecal continence and isn't under your control (it is under parasympathetic control) and an external sphincter which is under your control being under sympathetic innervation. Perhaps men who have sex a lot just become better trained at relaxing the external sphincter?
