    Question

    Can you get pregnant from having anal sex?

    Answer

    If the penis is being put into the anus, then you cannot get pregnant because the sperm cannot reach the egg, but you can get sexually transmitted diseases including HIV.

    Always use condoms for any kid of sex -- including oral and anal -- to avoid sexually transmitted infections.
