Can you get pregnant from anal sex?

Can you get pregnant from anal sex?

Your immediate response to this question may be of course not. But that that doesn’t cover all the potential outcomes.

If you have unprotected anal sex there are the sexually transmitted diseases to think about as well as the risk of pregnancy. The risk of pregnancy through anal sex is not as high as it is through vaginal sex, however ejaculate can slide from the anus to the vaginal opening and so lead to pregnancy.
