With the problems the world has today particularly in the West with drug and substance addiction and over-population (resulting in climate change), notwithstanding we have a thread warning that anal shouldn’t be considered a safe method of contraception, anal as the default sexual act could help cure, or at least alleviate these problems.
I think that Western health authorities have changed their stance on anal sex in recent years and are now providing guidelines for healthy and safe anal sex. This is following a similar pattern to safe sex guidelines and contraception in the years prior as the West through off the Christian doctrinal view that sex was only for married couples and that sex was only for the purpose of procreation.
It will probably be a long time before they ever recommend anal sex as a preferred method of sex, but who could have ever thought anal sex would ever be accepted enough to issue guidance of safe anal sex? If you look at the history there is definitely a progression. Imagine a world where anal sex is encouraged as an alternative to substance abuse and overpopulation.
Anal for good. It also means anal only.
There is no overpopulation. All the people on the whole earth could live in Canada alone. Overpopulation is a myth, created by those who benefit from fear.
There is no climate change, at least not man made. Climate has always been changing over the centuries. It will keep changing too.
Anal sex has always been there. It’s simply finaly escaping the tabboo it’s always been in. Just like blowjobs lost the tabboo factor in the 70s.
Anal only is the most satisfying way to live life. But it’s hard to explain to those who are (even slightly) againt frequent anal sex. I could never convince my ex the the only path to better anal sex was doing it more. And many are like that. It’s a once a month thing, keeping them from learning to enjoy it.
and there’s a river in Egypt and the earth is flat!
No, flat earthers are idiots 
Pleasurist, I appreciate your perspective, I am in agreement, and think your post is both very thoughtful and thought-provoking.
Don’t let Backdoorlover get into your head. I have never figured out if Backdoorlover actually believes some of the stuff he says or if he is just “stirring the pot” to generate conversation. I have found that I pretty much have to ignore some of his beliefs. However, I fully support his right to believe whatever he wants to believe, no matter how wrong he is. 
I guess I have just given up on him; I no longer try to refute his non-factual statements. Life is too short for arguing.
As I am the original poster of the thread regarding “warning that anal shouldn’t be considered a safe method of contraception”, I just want to once again try to make it clear that my concern is to avoid telling people who might not understand the actual science of getting pregnant that anal is not a completely reliable method of birth control. However, I absolutely agree that anal sex done with the idea of doing ones best to not get pregnant is an alternative that is better (as birth control) than unprotected vaginal sex.
In other words, I don’t like setting up a situation were some people will get the idea that if they do anal sex pregnancy will never happen. People who get that kind of idea seem to be predisposed to quickly getting “sloppy” and don’t take reasonable precautions (assuming they don’t want to get create a child). [If they want to have a child, then they should do whatever they want. I am not “anti-child”.]
My concern is that there are many hundreds of millions (if not more) people in the world who just don’t know enough of the facts about getting pregnant. A lot of those people are “young and dumb” – being young usually means being “dumb” and making bad choices. Some of those people don’t have any formal education beyond the 6th grade and just don’t have access to good information. Others have wonderful potential access to education and information, but have been failed by educational systems that seem to believe that if sex is not discussed it won’t happen.
I think that a well-rounded education should include a broad and detailed sexual education, including learning about anal sex and all sorts of other stuff that is even more rarely discussed in public. However, I don’t hold out much hope because some parts of the world has been going in a much more conservative direction lately – a world where “alternative facts” have more impact than actual facts. In the region of the U.S. where I live, the schools hardly manage to teach kids to read and write – and they certainly no longer provide much, if any, information about sex. I am an employer and the vast majority of kids coming out of our high schools (which in the U.S. means after 12 years of schooling) are not qualified to hold a basic low-level office job in my company. It is really sad and does not bode well for any aspect of our (their) future.
Sex ed at my school was definitely not the best. Ohio’s sex ed policies more generally are pretty bad, they don’t even require that the education being medically accurate!

But the internet is a beautiful thing and I learned a lot that they didn’t teach in class on my own. I actually think my generation is much more open to all kinds of sexual practices, even if that doesn’t show in the sex ed standards. Those standards are mostly written by old people, I think.
Please don’t act like opinions are facts. There are just as easy studies to be found that contradict the OP’s opnions.
I’ve been asking people for evidence on climatechange, there is none. There are only studies tainted by the company that paid for them.
Science is just a business needing of funds like every business in the world. Then we get to “don’t bite the hand that feeds”
A study can never conclude facts that put the funders in bad light. This is pure logic. Plus, independant scientists are never heard, never published. The sponsors dicatate what will be published in medical journeys
Anyways, going off topic here. A mid should stop me
But hey, there’s one fact here. Anal IS good !
