It’s possible. If you want your boyfriend’s fingers &/or penis in your vagina after being in your anus, they must be washed well first. You can get vaginal infections & cystitis very easily, otherwise. Many people enjoy anal intercourse safely. I recommend that you use a condom, and you’ll need a new condom before having vaginal intercourse or oral sex with your boyfriend. Be sure to use plenty of lubrication during anal penetration, take your time so that you can relax the sphincter muscle (which holds in bowel movements), & be SURE to wash anything that’s been in your anus before it goes into your vagina. As the person being entered, you should control the activity so that it doesn’t hurt. If you experiment over time, you may come to enjoy anal intercourse. But don’t force it. Let us know if we can be of further help.
