All you men who love pegging - fear not!
Here's the scare tactic:
If you engage in pegging too often, you will lose control of your anal sphincter and experience anal incontinence.
This is such uninformed, incorrect and alarmist bullshit!
The best information I have ever encountered on this subject is by Violet Blue. This is a part of it:
So if you enjoy anal sex and want to do it more than once in your life, maybe even regularly, what's there to worry about? Well, some people -- even 'experts' -- might say that because [they think that] the anus is not meant for penetration or pleasure, there could be a price to pay for all that fun. Namely, that over time, anal sex will lead to lack of muscle control, lack of bowel control, or a "looser" anus. This would be the 'long term health' issues people are likely referring to.
Once we've "warmed up" for anal sex by relaxing, it feels like penetration is easier -- and it is. Penetration gets you used to relaxing the sphincter muscles, but it's important to know that these muscles (smooth muscles) and the skin around the anus are shockingly resilient. The more experience you have with anal sex makes it easier to control the pain and accommodate penetration -- not because you're "stretched out" or "looser" but because you're more experienced with your body, and in tune with its reactions.
If you're doing everything properly (lots of lube, going slow, not scratching yourself with nails or plastic toys), you're taking good care of your bootie and there will be no damage or long term effects. Unless you're purposely going out of your way to try and stretch yourself out with superhuman-sized objects repeatedly over time and regularly, playing unsafely, or working to actively tear the sphincter muscles, you can't actually permanently change the size of the anal opening. Nor can you "break" the muscles so they don't work anymore.

You rock, Ms. Blue!
