Hi there, and welcome to EC! You have a valid concern, and I'll flag this for our resident medical expert to make sure he weighs in on this. From what I've just read, I would think you'd be OK to engage in anal sex. Penetration isn't usually all that deep - nor does it need to be for either you or your partner. As long as you're both communicating and that they're aware as soon as you feel uncomfortable, you should be albe to bottom. As always, using condoms and lube is a must. It's something you'd want to take up with your specialist though too - just to be sure.
I have to respectfully disagree. Polyps can appear in the expected areas of anal sex. I don't think the OP mentioned that. Nor the intense pain that can follow should they be touched. I don't think it's a problem of if he can bottom, but whether it's biologically safe to.
I'm More worried about what i have anal and i start bleeding? Also whether its safe to or not. If i should do it or not? I'm am going to bring it up to my specialist but i would like more than one answers.
The question with polyposis is where your polyps are occurring. If the polyps are in the main part of the colon and you have not been actively bleeding, then your risk- with a condom and safer sex- is no greater than any other person. On the other hand, if your polyps are rectal or you have been actively bleeding then bottoming may further inflame the polyps. When you have your next appointment with your gastrointestinal specialist, ask him about the location of the polyps and whether there is any restrictions to your particular condition.
