Having Safe Sex avoid sexually transmitted diseases

When you are having sex, protection is vital. It is important to know that protection against sexually transmitted diseases and safe birth control methods are different matters. For birth control, you should use chemical contraceptives, because these methods have lower failure rates than barrier methods. However, chemical contraceptives do not protect you from diseases. It would be best if you used a combination of the two. When you use chemical contraceptives and you should take antibiotics or any other medicine, you should ask your gynecologist whether the other medicines can alter the effectiveness of your birth control method. When you use condom to prevent sexually transmitted diseases STDs, be careful with lubricants. Oil based lubricants can damage condoms. Select water-based or silicone-based lubricants. You should also consider that male condoms are safer than female condoms.

Everybody knows that having unprotected sex means that you are putting your health at risk. You may expose yourself to several diseases: chlamydia, genital warts, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, herpes, HIV (human immunodeficiency virus, the virus that causes AIDS), human papilloma virus (which can lead to some cancers), pelvic inflammatory disease, syphilis, trichomoniasis.

Using condoms makes vaginal and anal sex safer. Some might believe that one does not have to use protection when they only have oral sex. It is not true, there can be tiny wounds in the mouth (probably coming from brushing teeth) and body fluids can get into the blood stream. Unprotected oral sex is not safe. You are at risk of getting gonorrhea, HPV, hepatitis B, and herpes, even HIV. You may use a dental dam – a thin pieces of latex –, placing it on the genital area when a sexual partner uses their tongue on it. Its specific, FDA-approved version is a Sheer Glyde dam.

Sex play without penetration is safer than any protected intercourse, but it still has some risk of getting HPV or herpes.

Be careful with unprotected sex, even if you live in a stable relationship. Probably your long-time partner does not know about a minor STD they happen to have, or probably they do not admit that they STDs or other, short-term sexual relationships.

Using sex toys is also relatively safe, provided you clean them from your body fluids after use so that to get rid of bacteria. Clean your sex toys very thoroughly if your partner also uses them, otherwise the toys are just as risky as a real partner. You can use a condom on your sex toys.

Never use any breakable product – like glass – on yourself or your partner!

Safe sex also includes having a partner whom you can more or less trust and who will not use your trust against you. Your partner is supposed to respect your limits, they care about your well-being and health, and, in case they have multiple partners, they use protection and get tested for STDs.

You can get condoms or dental dams or sex toys at pharmacies, grocery stores, Planned Parenthood heath centers and sex shops.
