Safer sex means avoiding the body fluids such as the semen, vaginal juices and blood to enter the other partner's body so as to protect from sexually transmitted diseases. Diseases such as hepatitis and HIV can be transmitted in body fluids through an infected person during sexual activity. A person can be infected with these diseases, if body fluids from an infected person enter the vagina, anus or mouth.
Going for safe sex is a mature act by the partners as it not only protects you but all those who have any kind of physical intercourse with you. It protects the sex partners from the incurable sexually transmitted diseases. Your child too is at a risk when you do not have safe sex as being pregnant can harm your unborn baby as well as when you are feeding the baby if you are infected with the virus.
Steps for safe sex:
• During sexual practices people also use object or sex toys. These objects and sex toys should be clean and not break during the sexual practice. They should not have sharp edges and should not be shared.
• For safe sex it is essential for the partners to sit together and discuss what birth control methods they would opt for.
• Discuss if either of the partner is at a risk of an STI. Although it is a delicate and difficult issue to talk on, yet it is crucial.
• It is also important to be honest with each other and equally important to be frank with each other and inform if anyone of the partners is sexually infected. Generally people hesitate and do not tell their sex partners about it if they have an HIV or STI which put the other partner too at a risk
• Sharing needles for drug steroids or tattooing is most dangerous as it leads to blood to blood contact that is a direct route of HIV transmission. Do not share needles as you are at a high risk of being infected with the HIV virus.
• People should avoid heaving drinking as it affects a person's decision making and often results in unplanned sex that is not safe.
• Always make sure to use condoms during sex as they protect you from being pregnant and sexually transmitted diseases.
• If you do not have complete idea and knowledge about safe sex and sexually transmitted diseases then consult your friends and find out about it.
