Men engaged in anal intercourse may have lower manometry pressures than men not engaged in anal intercourse however, few studies have examined fecal incontinence (FI) symptoms and anal intercourse ( 5, 6).Īlthough specific sexual practices of women with FI are undescribed, women with FI are as likely to be sexually active as women without FI but their sexual function scores are lower ( 7, 8).
Approximately 20% of women engage in anal intercourse and among homosexual male populations, anal intercourse is common, yet little is known about the impact of anal intercourse on fecal continence ( 1– 4). Anal intercourse is a common practice among both heterosexual and homosexual couples where at least one of the partners is male.
