How can make anus long?

First, you probably mean the rectum, which is inside the body. The anus is the opening to the rectum. But.. You can't make the rectum 'longer'. It's like asking, How can I make my finger longer? or asking, How can I make my nose grow? The rectum like the anus can be stretched in width but not lengthened. Important--- The rectum and anus can be permanently damaged. That damage can result in constipation and leaking of softer stool.

This is a bit like asking "how deep are the human lips?" Past the lips lie the mouth, and the throat. Past the rectum lies the bowel.

You can cause injury if you don't know what you are doing. The human rectum is about 12 cm long

How deep can a man insert a toy in his rectum?

The rectum is the end of the intestinal canal. Its lower end is the anus, and it serves as a storage area for feces. When it's full, you get the urge to have a bowel movement. The typical adult rectum as about 8 inches long. At its upper end, it turns to become the end of the large intestine. Pushing a toy into the rectum is risky IF it doesn't have a base on it. So make sure you use a flanged toy (wider at the outside end) if you're playing with your rectum, as you don't want to get something stuck up there

Is poop passed out through the rectum or the anus?

Both: the anus is the circular muscular opening at the very end of the colon (large intestine), and the rectum is the term generally given to both the anus and the opening between the two parts of the gluteus maximus, the two muscular bunches that form the posterior. The colon ends at the anus and when digestive waste is eliminated, it passes out of the body through the anus and the rectum. A difference can be noted this way: medical disorders of the colon and other intestinal parts, the anus included, are typically looked after by Gastroenterologists, while disorders that are only of the rectal area itself and do not include digestive troubles are looked after by Proctologists. Both types of doctors look out for signs of colo-rectal cancer, a major preventable cancer killer of people today. And everyone over 50 should have a colonoscopy, a medical test involving passing a long scope through the colon via the anus, under anesthesia, by a Gastroenterologist, to check for colon cancer. People who have already had colon cancer removed need this test at least every three years for the rest of their lives.
