Can you get pregnant from anal sex?

Sexual&Reproductive Health: Frequently Asked Questions a...
The anal opening leads to the rectum (the storage area for feces prior to defecation). This is part of the digestive system and is not connected to the reproductive system. Therefore, sperm entering the anus cannot reach the egg in the reproductive tract. However, if ejaculated semen is near the opening of the vagina and that semen happens to trickle inside, a pregnancy could occur. Sexually transmitted infections (STI) can also be spread through anal sex.

Yes, you can get pregnant from unprotected anal sex. What goes in the anus must come out. The distance between your anus and vaginal opening is relatively small. The lubrication that occurs in women when they are aroused works like flaggers at an airport for the sperm to find the egg. There is a chance that the sperm will enter the vagina after exiting the anus and the woman can indeed become pregnant. You should always use protection when engaging in any form of intercourse!

Can I become pregnant without having sex?

Sexual health FAQ (frequently asked questions) - Island Sexu...
You can’t get pregnant through oral sex, or through masturbation. But if you are fooling around with your partner and there is any genital contact, especially where fluid is involved, there is a chance that you can become pregnant. This can even happen if he touches his own semen and then touches your vagina with his hands. If you want to make sure that you don’t become pregnant, make sure you use a condom, or avoid having contact with his genitals and fluids.

A woman cannot become pregnant as a result of anal sex directly, although if any sperm leaks from the anus and enters the vagina, pregnancy could occur.

The UIC Wellness Center: Pregnancy - Frequently Asked Questi...
Oral and anal sex are considered to be fairly safe in terms of getting pregnant, but if any semen gets in or around the vaginal opening then there could be a chance of pregnancy. Of course it still depends on ovulation as well. If you have had sexual intercourse then there could be a chance of pregnancy, but the only way to find out is to take a pregnancy test (see the resource list at the end of the FAQ).

Can a girl get pregnant without actually having sex?

Sexual&Reproductive Health: Frequently Asked Questions a...
In some cases there is a small chance of pregnancy when there is skin to skin contact between the penis and vagina, even if there is no penetration. Pre-ejaculate is the small amount of fluid that is released by the penis before ejaculation. Pre-ejaculate may contain sperm as well as the bacteria and viruses that cause sexually transmitted infections (STI). Many males are not aware of when the pre-ejaculate is released, so there is no way to know when to pull the penis away.

Frequently Asked Questions About HIV/AIDS
Yes. In fact, unprotected (without a condom) anal sex (intercourse) is considered to be very risky behavior. It is possible for either sex partner to become infected with HIV during anal sex. Not having (abstaining from) sex is the most effective way to avoid HIV. If people choose to have anal sex, they should use a latex condom. Most of the time, condoms work well. However, condoms are more likely to break during anal sex than during vaginal sex. Thus, even with a condom, anal sex can be risky.

What about anal sex?

Adult Happy :: Sexy Condom + Sexy Lingerie :: FAQ on Condom
Again, yes. Anal sex is one of the most high-risk things you can do in terms of STIs, and it won't necessarily stop a woman getting pregnant. Anal sex can put more strain on a condom, so you can use stronger ones but standard ones are just as effective if used correctly with plenty of lubricant not containing Nonoxynol 9.

Question: Can I get HIV from anal sex?

FAQ
Yes, it is possible for either sex partner to become infected with HIV during anal sex. HIV can be found in the blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid, or vaginal fluid of a person infected with the virus. In general, the person receiving the semen is at greater risk of getting HIV because the lining of the rectum is thin and may allow the virus to enter the body during anal sex.

No, you can’t. Swallowing semen is the same as eating something that ends up in your digestive system—it can’t make you pregnant because your mouth doesn’t connect with your reproductive system. Remember though, that you can get a sexually transmitted disease through oral sex if your partner is infected, so you should use a condom or dental dam during oral sex.
