Anoreceptive intercourse (ARI) is linked to reduced anal sphincter resting pressure and increased risk of fecal incontinence. This risk is highest in individuals with diminished maximum squeeze pressure.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Urology
  • Sexual Health

Background:

  • Anoreceptive intercourse (ARI) is a sexual practice with potential physiological impacts.
  • The effects of ARI on anal sphincter function and continence remain under-investigated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of ARI on anal sphincter tone and function.
  • To compare anal function parameters between anoreceptive (AR) and non-anoreceptive (non-AR) males.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative study involving 40 AR males and 18 age-matched non-AR males.
  • Assessment of anal resting pressure, maximum voluntary squeeze pressure, and anal mucosal electrosensitivity.
  • Questionnaires on defecation, fecal incontinence, and ARI practices.

Related Experiment Videos

Main Results:

  • AR subjects exhibited significantly reduced anal resting pressure and anal mucosal electrosensitivity compared to non-AR subjects.
  • Frequent anal incontinence symptoms were reported by 14 AR subjects versus only one non-AR subject (P < 0.05).
  • Reduced maximum squeeze pressure was significantly associated with anal incontinence in AR subjects (P < 0.01).

Conclusions:

  • ARI is associated with diminished anal resting pressure and an elevated risk of anal incontinence.
  • Reduced maximum squeeze pressure exacerbates the risk of incontinence among AR individuals.
  • Further research into the long-term consequences of ARI on anorectal function is warranted.
