How do I practice safe sex? I don't want any STD's.

[thechosenone2190]

I am a virgin and newb, and I'd like to know everything I should know about safe sex before I lose my v-card. I don't want to catch anything, and I've heard condoms don't protect you from everything, which is very disconcerting. What are ways to stay STD free besides abstinence? Can I sue a girl for giving me STD's? What can I contract from mouth to mouth contact? What is the risk? What do condoms not protect you from and how do you protect against those things?

Condoms will keep you from getting HIV, Hepatitis, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and syphilis.

Condoms will also reduce your chances of catching herpes or hpv by about 50%. That's not good, but it's better than nothing.

The best STD control is to be with a girl who cares enough about you to not want to give you anything. Avoid drunken flings with skanks. And no, you can't sue...unless she's really rich.

You sound very young...perhaps what? 16? Anyway, Uncle Flyness is about to school you.

First off, given your post, I do not recommend that you jump into "getting your **** wet" just yet. Your primary focus should be LEARNING the game and stacking your paper (acquiring assets and getting your education).

What are ways to stay STD free besides abstinence?
There are no guarantees, unless you don't have sex. Once you have sex, condom or not, ANYTHING can technically happen. The condom can rupture and even if it doesn't you COULD catch something. Unless you stay a virgin forever, there is always a CHANCE you could catch an STD or get her pregnant.

To be honest, if you wear a latex condom and avoid women who show some of the warning signs of STDs (extreme foul vaginal smells, blisters, cold sores etc), then the chances of you catching something are extremely minimal. As a precaution, you should always get regularly tested at the STD clinic once you become sexually active.


Can I sue a girl for giving me STD's?
Only if she is proven malicious and it can be proven that she knowingly gave you an STD on purpose. Realistically, unless she's infected with HIV and you can PROVE that she gave it to you purposely, you will not be able to sue. Suing anyone takes time, energy and money. The best thing you can do for yourself is to keep a condom on at all times until you are in a committed relationship or marriage.

What can I contract from mouth to mouth contact? What is the risk?
Mouth to mouth disease passing is RARE, simply because most cold sores are extremely visible. In addition, the mouth contains saliva which has the ability to break down and kill germs. Unless she has an open sore on her lips (or anywhere for that matter), catching something in your mouth is quite rare.


What do condoms not protect you from and how do you protect against those things?
I would look this one up, but if the condom doesn't break you can still get warts, or herpes.

Bottom line dude, in most cases, the condom is your safest bet if you choose to have sex. Condom + regular visits to the doc (every 6-12 months) is the most realistic form of STD prevention.

STD's are not the end of the world. Most people have one or have got one before so it's really not a big deal.

Take showers before sex, and after you're done wash your package with antibacterial soap, and/or take another shower.

This is just extra precaution. This is what the hookers do in the licensed brothels here in Nevada. They visually inspect for warts/herpes, scrub your coknballs with medical grade soap (dial complete is similar for us) before the act, then after the deed, wash up again.

This way, if they do have something, at least the surface areas are disinfected before and after. It gets rid of the majority of germs and viruses on the genital areas. That plus a condom is the safest possible way to have sex.

At the very least, go to the bathroom and wash your junk afterwards.

Oh, and if you go downtown, rinse with peroxide, or at least mouthwash as soon as you can. They talk about 'dental dams,' but I wont use those. I would just not go down, rather than use those. Thats just too wierd for me.
