If it was "natural" there would be extensive tissue tearing that takes place regularly, and there wouldn't be the risk of incontinence because of it or infection from faecal matter.
The anal sphincter muscle is not anatomically designed to comfortably admit external objects--it is designed to relax and stretch when stimulated internally by rectal fullness from stool. The automatic reflex is for it to contract and tighten when pressure is applied externally. So relaxation of the sphincter for external penetration is learned over time because otherwise it is very uncomfortable, and must only be done with gentle continual pressure, and lots and lots of lubricant. The risks, even with gentle insertion, are laceration of the anal tissue, and rectal mucosa, resulting in pain, bleeding, and difficulty passing stool comfortably.
Any presence of blood can potentially expose the insertive partner to bloodborne STDs like Hep. B, Hep. C, and HIV. In addition, exposure to stool can result in urethral infections in a male insertive partner.
Really, both you and A Theist are completely missing the point. A Theist seems determined to miss the point actually. If we were at all concerned about general health when it came to activities, then we'd ban most of what Ryan just listed.
The fact of the matter is that homosexuality occurs, it occurs without intervention and unnatural influences or help, and no matter how many times people like A Theist bleat that it's unnatural, the fact of the matter is that it happens in nature, and it's not going to stop unless Hitler 2.0 The Immortal Nazi rises up and decides that going after the Jews is just a little too ambitious.
Besides, let's say for a moment that naturalness is based on the risk factor. Does that make lesbian sex more natural than hetero sex? Should we also condemn hetero sex in favour of lesbian sex because of its STI risk?
If you believe it, question it. If you question it, get an answer. If you have an answer, does that answer satisfy reality? Does it satisfy you? Probably not. For no one else will agree with you, not really.
