Why
practise safer sex?
If spontaneity is the aim, this advice might seem a little off-putting.
It's not meant to discourage anyone from enjoying sex, but to
help you to have healthier, happier and safer sex. Catching an
infection is a lot more off-putting than taking care of yourself
and your partner, so here are some measures to help you protect
yourself from ALL sexually-transmitted infections. Many viral
and bacterial sexually-transmitted infections are easier to catch
and more common than HIV, which is why this guide is about more
than just using a condom for penetrative sex.
One million people are infected with STIs around
the world every day of the year.
Oral sexually-transmitted gonorrhoea is on the rise in the UK.
Precautions for greater safety
Penetrative vaginal sex - a condom should be put on before
any genital contact,
especially
if the woman isn't using additional, reliable birth control. There
are enough live sperm and germs at the tip of an erect penis to
cause pregnancy or infection without penetration or ejaculation.
Penetrative anal sex - use a non-spermicidally-lubricated
condom with extra water-based or silicone lubricant at all times.
It's wise to wear an extra-strong condom, and important to use
sufficient water based lubrication, without which the condom is
more likely to burst. Never move from anal to vaginal sex without
changing the condom as this is unhealthy for the woman. If there's
no spare condom handy, then move from the vagina to the anus or
stay in the anus until ejaculation. (Sounds fun to us).
Oral sex
To be absolutely safe, it is best to use a condom, especially
if you or your partner are likely to ejaculate in the mouth. There
is now a wide range of flavoured condoms available, so make sure
that you have a good supply of these with you when you meet. Another
alternative is to use a dental dam or even part of a latex glove.
Foreplay - (fondling, stroking, fingering
and wanking). Cover cuts, sores and other
skin
lesions on fingers with waterproof plasters or latex gloves, particularly
during a menstrual period or if anal foreplay is involved. If
you don't have latex gloves to hand, it's safer to use a non-spermicidally-lubricated
condom over one or two fingers than bare hands. If you're not
using protection and you're going to move on to vaginal foreplay,
it's vital to wash your hands after anal foreplay.
Sex toys - if you're sharing toys, use the
same level of protection as for penetrative sex. Wash toys thoroughly
between partners. Keep whips, chains and other articles used during
S&M (sadomasochistic) fetish foreplay for personal use, particularly
if you draw blood (or body fluids containing blood) during use.
Masturbation - there's no risk of infection
if you're alone and using unshared items,
unless a disease from one part of the body infects another through
poor hygiene technique. An unwashed finger, for example, can spread
genital gonorrhoea or chlamydia to the eye. During masturbation
or mutual masturbation with a friend or partner, please follow
the guidelines for foreplay and make sure that no semen is introduced
into the mouth, vagina or anus - just in case..
