Having Safe Sex is Always a Good Idea

To have safe sex, you don’t get anyone else’s bodily fluids inside of your body. These fluids include semen, vaginal fluid ... But it’s not just about you. You need to protect your partner’s body too.

Condoms are the most practical, safe and easy way to protect yourself and your partner from Sexually Transmitted Diseases, HIV and pregnancy. Although using condoms can protect yourself and your partner from STD’s and HIV, they are not always foolproof. You've got to use them correctly every time that you have sex. If you don’t use the condom correctly, you place you and your partner at risk.

Latex condoms are the most common and best condoms to use for anal and vaginal intercourse. If you’re allergic to latex condoms, you can use polyurethane or lambskin condoms. Although natural condoms (made from animal membranes, i.e. lambskin condoms) are efficient at stopping pregnancy, they do not reduce the spread of many sexually transmitted diseases. More recently, polyurethane (a type of plastic) condoms have become widely available. However, they do cost more money and are not stretchy as latex condoms.

There are a few things to know to find the right condom for you and your partner.You need to make sure that the condom is the right size. If the condom is too large or too snug, the condom can come off. Some men prefer a thinner condom rather than a thicker condom. Extra sensitive condoms can feel better to the man, but a thinner condom can break more easily. A thicker condom is especially good for anal sex. We also recommend that you get condoms that are pre lubricated.

If both you and your partner are exclusive with one another, and you both have been tested free of STD’s or HIV, but do not want to use condoms, you should consider some other form of birth control.

There are many types of birth control a woman can take, prescribed by her doctor. One of the easiest and most common types of birth control for women is the birth control pill. The birth control pill is a pill that the woman takes the same time daily to prevent pregnancy. As time progresses, there are different types and brands of birth control pills. However, the most common pill taken is the combined oral contraceptive pill that contains progesterone and estrogen. If this is taken properly the probability of pregnancy is very low (its about 0.2 per cent per year.)

There are many other types of birth control you can take, such as the ring or the patch. There is even an emergency contraceptive pill available over the counter that you can take up to three days if your condom accidently breaks. (This should not be used as regular birth control). All these decisions should be discussed with you and your partner.
