Sex is exciting, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. For many generations, the word ‘Sex’ remained an uncomfortable word and was perceived a taboo. For this reason, there were limited discussions and very few details about it until recently. To date, many people still speak in hushed tones and literally whisper when sex or mechanics of reproduction come into play. In this article, however, we ain’t whispering! Here are the 5 Do’s and Don’ts of Safe Sex All Adults Must know
Consent is Key
The safest sex usually involves lots of communication, honesty, and consent. For a while now, the internet has been agog with stories of young women, calling out their male counterparts for failing to respect boundaries/ adhere to the rules of consent. This should not be the case. For safe sex to happen, it must be voluntary and all parties involved must mutually agree.
Protection Must Not Be An Afterthought
Imagine walking gallantly into an examination hall without a pen, pencil, or stationery of any sort. Wouldn’t it be safe to say you are making plans to fail? If you wouldn’t purposely do this, why then should you embark on any sexual mission without a Flex condom or an Emergency pill insight? Responsible adults don’t throw caution to the wind, so you shouldn’t. With safe sex, protection always comes before pleasure.
Routine Checks Are Important
Statistics show that most people living with STDs don’t have any symptoms and may not even know they are infected. For this reason, it is a good idea to get tested once in a while. Protect yourself from Sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, and other STIs with a Flex Condom. Flex condoms offer 98% protection from diseases and as a plus, could save you from unplanned pregnancies.
Discuss ‘What If’s
As interesting as sex may seem, Safe sex often comes with responsibilities. One of which is talking to your partner about the various methods of contraception. This may seem like an embarrassing or shameful conversation to have, but it is much less awkward than talking about an unplanned pregnancy or how to treat a disease. Discuss your preferences, and what to do in event of accidents such as a torn condom. A Flex condom should be your go-to option because it is super durable and would never leak. However, Emergency Contraceptives could salvage situations like this if taken within 24-48 hours. The sooner, the better.
Make plans for Long-term Protection
There are numerous methods of contraception out there, as such, you have a wide range of viable options to choose from. Beginning with condoms, emergency pills, down to daily pills, and even implants, the list is endless. Daily pills are a great choice because they contain smaller doses of hormones that prevent pregnancies for one full month. With this, you can have maximum fun, while you stay super protected.
