Safe Sex

Sex is meant to be a pleasurable, exciting and memorable experience between two consenting adults. But more often than not, the sexual act is followed by disturbing thoughts of either an unwanted pregnancy of possibilities of contracting one of the many sexually transmitted diseases or STDs. Yet there is a concept called safe sex, which you could call safe sex, as it can prevent you from contracting HIV and other STDs or even prevent any undesired pregnancy.

Though it might seem a bit drastic, but probably the only way one can prevent getting infected with any of the STDs is abstinence, or having no sex at all. Safe sex is also the name given to a sexual act where there is no or minimal risk of pregnancy. While there are numerous contraceptive measures available for women as well as men with varying causes of failures as well as advantages and disadvantages, safe sex would also entail protection against STDs, some of which are incurable and can be fatal. The most popular forms of contraception are birth control pills, intra-uterine devices (IUDs), condoms, contraceptive vaginal creams, and more. The way out of an unwanted pregnancy can be an unfortunate medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) or abortion, but in the event of your contracting any of the fatal STDs, the chances of complete recovery is distant. Hepatitis B, AIDS and HIV are some of the incurable and fatal infections acquired through unprotected sex. The route of transmission of HIV virus is through body fluids including blood, ejaculate (cum), pre-ejaculate (pre-cum) and female genital fluids (both vaginal and cervical fluid). Using condom is the only way you can have sex and protect your self from these ailments.

The term safe sex also includes avoiding touching your partner’s infected body parts like herpes sores or warts. Bleeding gums and other oral hygiene-related problems can also be responsible for getting you close to STDs. This fact needs to be borne in mind with regard to oral sex. Herpes is known to be transmitted from mouth to genitals and again from genitals to mouth. Though infections, cuts or sores in your mouth can spread infection, oral sex is considered to be less risky than anal or vaginal sex. Sexually transmitted diseases are of special relevance to people who have multiple sex partners. An individual can get infected with HIV virus if he or she has sex with an already-infected person or have sex with more number of people.

Condoms are the only method so far, for ensuring safe sex which guarantees 90% safety and efficacy, if used according to instructions. Since prevention is better than cure, it is always advisable to use condoms which can offer protection both from STDs as well as undesired pregnancy. Safe sex is not important for people of a certain age. Teenagers, pregnant women, breast feeding mothers or seniors – all need to practice safe sex for adequate protection.

Most of us would like to treasure our special moments when we have let our selves go and enjoyed the pleasures and ecstasies associated with good sex. Let us learn to preserve the happiness for years to come, by practicing safe sex, today and forever.
