Can a top get anal warts?
January 21, 2008
I am a 53 year old bi male. I have always wanted to have anal sex but have never been able to because of the pain from hemorrhoids. About two years ago I had a hemorrhoidectomy, but I still have not had anal sex. When I do have anal sex, I am top. While being examined prior to surgery the doctor informed me, I had venereal warts which he removed, is this a form of STD, if so how did that happen if I don't get fucked?
Yes, venereal warts are a form of sexually transmitted disease. They are also known as genital warts or anal warts. They are pass from skin-to-skin contact with the affected area of an infected person. Unfortunately it isn't always obvious, so you can easily contract them from someone who shows no obvious symptoms.
Many tops have been similarly perplexed, wondering just how they contracted warts inside their anus when they have never been fucked. Actually it's quiet easy. For starters, in your 53 years you have probably at least had someone rub his dick up against your asshole. That's enough to expose the outside of your anus to warts. Then every time you wipe your ass with a piece of toilet paper, you are spreading the virus around the area as well. If you ever fingered yourself, put a suppository in your ass, or did any other anal contact, you could have been passing it along that way as well. Indeed, even your doctor may have inadvertently been doing so when giving you a rectal examination. Warts can be spread fairly easily.
Fortunately your doctor noticed you had them and removed the warts. You may want to give your doctor a call and ask if he ever gave you any sort of anal Pap smear. Anal warts are directly linked to precancerous cells for rectal cancer. Just as women have yearly Pap smears for cervical cancer, gay men need to be tested every three years for anal cancer (every year if you are HIV+).
