Although this site is written with couples in mind, safe sex is a topic that has unfortunately become an important part of life. No longer is it only a means to prevent unwanted pregnancies but more so a matter of life & death.

At Have Better Sex we cannot stress the importance of this issue enough. If you are a couple who knows each others history your worries are somewhat minimized, but when entering into any sexual relationship with any outside party please protect yourself by using a condom or making your new partner wear one. If any new partner refuses this simple act of respect we feel you should rethink the arrangement.

Safe Sex is always important but even more so when any form of anal sex may be involved. It has been proven over & over that the lining of the rectum is very fragile & may contain minor fissures that may open during anal sex, thus allowing the passage of the HIV virus. Other diseases such as Herpes may be spread by simple contact with the sore. Remember too that toys used for any type anal sex should be thoroughly washed with an anti-bacterial soap before using them again. Condoms may also be used over a toy, allowing for a “quick change” before someone else uses them.

Other minor but no less irritating diseases can also be transferred via oral sex and toys. Things such as yeast infections and chlamydia may be transferred from the vagina to someone who has performed oral sex on them. If this partner were to then perform oral sex on another woman there is the chance of that infection begin transferred to her. We know people this has happened to and it can lead to many other problems in further exploration.

The point of sexual exploration is for enjoyment & enhancement Although the heat of passion may sometimes attempt to cloud our good judgment, a good line of communication with any potential sexual partner outlining safe sex practices will make the experience more comfortable & enjoyable for all parties involved.

Finally, if a potential new sex partner refuses to understand your concerns about safe sex or refuses to protect themselves (and you) we would highly suggest you look elsewhere. A person who refuses to accept the responsibility for the sexual health of themselves and their partners has probably refused to accept it with many other partners. This person is a walking timebomb, they may be lucky but sooner or later their luck may run out. Also remember things like HIV may take years to show symptoms. Do you want to have to worry about who your partner has had sex with for the last 5 or so years? Have fun, enjoy, but for heavens sakes stay healthy!
