Hi and welcome to HCM

There are a number of health risks with anal sex, and anal intercourse is the riskiest form of sexual activity for several reasons, like anus lacks the natural lubrication the vagina has, tissue inside the anus is not as well protected as the skin outside the anus, anus is full of bacteria.

Anal sex can carry other risks as well. Oral contact with the anus can put both partners at risk for hepatitis, herpes, HPV, and other infections. For heterosexual couples, pregnancy can occur if semen is deposited near the opening to the vagina.
Even though serious injury from anal sex is not common, it can occur. Bleeding after anal sex could be due to a hemorrhoid or tear, or something more serious such as a perforation (hole) in the colon.
If you engage in anal sex, it is always important to use a condom to protect against the spread of infections and diseases.

Following are more tips for increasing anal sex safety:

1.Avoid inserting a penis into the mouth or vagina after it's been inserted in the anus until your partner puts on a new condom.
2.Use plenty of lubricant to reduce the risk of tissue tears. With latex condoms, always use a water-based lubricant.
3.Relax prior to insertion of the penis to help reduce the risk of tears. Taking a warm bath before anal sex or lying on your stomach may make insertion easier.
4.Stop if anal sex is painful.
5.If she experience bleeding after anal sex or notice a sores or lumps around the anus or a discharge coming from it, see doctor as soon as possible.

I advice you to use condom if you want go for anal sex. If she is too uncomfortable its better to stop
