Accidental anal intercourse in heterosexual relationships is reported by a small percentage of forensic physicians. Intoxication and sexual inexperience were not strongly associated with these occurrences.

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Medicine
  • Sexual Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Accidental anal intercourse in heterosexual relationships is not well-documented.
  • Investigating potential contributing factors like intoxication and inexperience is crucial for understanding sexual health dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence of accidental anal intercourse in heterosexual relationships among UK forensic physicians.
  • To explore the roles of alcohol/drug intoxication and sexual inexperience as causative factors.

Main Methods:

  • A postal survey was distributed to members of the Association of Forensic Physicians (UK).
  • Data were collected on lifetime experiences of accidental anal intercourse, sexual experience, and intoxication levels of individuals and their partners.

Main Results:

  • A response rate of 47.9% (512 physicians) was achieved.
  • 26 males (7.2%) and 14 females (10.4%) reported at least one lifetime episode of accidental anal intercourse.
  • The majority of participants reporting accidental anal intercourse were sexually experienced (79%), as were their partners (83%).
  • Personal intoxication was reported by 43% and partner intoxication by 41% of those with accidental anal intercourse history.

Conclusions:

  • Accidental anal intercourse occurs infrequently in heterosexual relationships among the surveyed forensic physicians.
  • Sexual experience does not appear to be a significant protective factor.
  • Intoxication, both personal and partner-related, is frequently reported in conjunction with accidental anal intercourse.
