Answered on Queera. Sorry folks, I’m all fagged out today for some reason.
People who practice receptive anal intercourse can absolutely get fissures. In fact, fissures are the most common problem to result from this kind of sex. In straight porn, a lot of the women doing anal scenes are getting fissures.
If a gay man practices receptive anal sex, he can absolutely get fissures. That said, it’s certainly possible to have this sort of sex and never get a fissure. Also, not all gay man practice this sex act.
I would imagine that gay men as a group definitely have an elevated rate of rectal fissures.
