Question
I'm 16 and gay. Last night I was with a friend and we began touching eachother. After that we started to take off our clothes and we started to have intercourse. We couldn't stop. We went at it for 4 hours. I really enjoyed it, but I wanna know if I have a problem for going on this long and what could I do to make it less painful and cleaner because I started bleeding and he said his penis smelled a lot. Is this healthy?
Answer
First, you need to use condoms for all oral and anal contact to protect yourselves from sexually transmitted infections. Second, make sure you are using a water-based lubricant to decrease the friction, so there is less tearing of the anal tissue. Finally, if there are no drugs involved, then you are probablly perfectly normal.
