Abstract

Longitudinal data on episodes of receptive anal intercourse (RAI), lubricant, and enema use in 41 sexually active men who have sex with men were collected using a prospective sex diary. Data on 550 episodes of RAI showed that lubricants were used in 489 (88.9%) of 550 episodes and enemas were used in 165 (30%) of 550 RAI episodes.
