Irish GPs increasingly seeing injuries in women from 'rough sex' fuelled by violent pornography
Briefly

Dr. Madeleine Ní Dhálaigh, a GP in Roscommon, highlights the increasing health concerns related to the growing influence of online pornography on sexual practices, particularly regarding anal sex. She shares troubling cases involving female patients suffering from significant pain and injuries after sexual intercourse. Dr. Ní Dhálaigh emphasizes the anatomical differences between men and women, underscoring the unique risks women face, including incontinence and STIs. She calls for enhanced sexual health discussions among doctors to address these emerging concerns, including the dangers posed by non-fatal strangulation and overall disregard for female health issues in sexual practices.
"A study in the British Medical Journal reported that women in the UK are suffering injuries and other health problems due to the rising popularity of anal sex among straight couples."
"Dr. Ní Dhálaigh highlighted that women's anatomy is very different from that of men and that this puts them at greater risk of faecal incontinence when engaging in anal sex."
