"The authors [of "Anal Intercourse and Fecal Incontinence: Evidence from the 2009-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey." The American Journal of Gastroenterology. 2016 Feb; 111(2): 269-74. PMID 26753893. doi:10.1038/ajg.2015.419.] point out that the internal anal sphincter muscle is responsible for maintaining the resting pressure of the anus (i.e., keeping the anus closed, and keeping stool inside where it belongs), and previous studies show that men who receive anal intercourse have lower anal resting pressure. They postulate that anal sex may simply dilate and stretch the anal sphincter muscle and eventually cause damage to the muscles themselves, and/or cause sensory nerve damage leading to loss of sphincter sensation and control."
… "For reference, the diameter of an adult colonoscope, which is designed to be inserted into the anus, is 0.5 inches (Olympus CF-HQ190L, 12.8 mm OD). This is roughly one-third the diameter of the average erect penis [citing a British Journal of Urology study: PMID 25487360]."
https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2016/03/what-you-dont-know-about-anal-sex-a-gastroenterologist-explains.htmlKeep in mind that there are numerous variables involved as well, including the presence of one or more potentially-undiagnosed preexisting conditions (possibly the result of prior erotic trauma). For one example, if a person's internal anal sphincter has already become fragmented due to circumferential stretching, then that risk may no longer be a concern for them (although fecal incontinence might be, especially with damage to the external anal sphincter and/or puborectalis). For another example, anatomic anal stenosis (narrowing due to constricting scar tissue) could affect what a receptive person is able to insert comfortably girth-wise and make trauma from shearing force (frictional sliding) more likely to occur due to a tighter fit.
