Sex should be pleasurable and natural, but it must be built upon a foundation of health. Otherwise, momentary indulgence may lead to lifelong regret. So, how can we ensure “healthy, safe sex”?
1. Actively Seek Sexual Education
Sexual health is as crucial as emotional, mental, and physical well-being, making it an essential aspect of overall health. Actively seeking sexual education benefits both ourselves and our partners. Don’t wait until sexual issues arise to start learning about sexual health. Topics include comfortable and enjoyable sexual experiences, testing for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and prevention. Understanding the risks of sexually transmitted diseases is crucial because they are primarily spread through sexual contact. We will focus on various sexually transmitted diseases to help everyone effectively prevent various risks.
2. Always Use Condoms
Many men dislike using condoms, believing they reduce sensation and pleasure, or worrying that frequent use may affect their sexual function. However, condoms are one of the most effective measures for preventing sexual health diseases. They can reduce the risk of sexually transmitted diseases, and long-term use does not harm the body.
3. Choose the Right Condom
Condoms come in different sizes, and choosing the right size is essential for comfort and safety. It is recommended to choose condoms with lubrication, as they are easier to put on and reduce the risk of breakage. Remember, selecting the right size condom is crucial.
4. Always Have Condoms on Hand
Regardless of whether you have plans for pregnancy, having condoms on hand is essential. Don’t wait until you’re in the mood to buy condoms, as you may forget their importance at that time.
5. Stick to One Sexual Partner
Frequent changes in sexual partners increase the risk of sexually transmitted diseases. Having a stable sexual partner can significantly reduce the risk of infection. Sexual irregularities can have a significant impact on physical health, so it is advisable to maintain a single sexual partner as much as possible.
6. Use Condoms for Oral Sex
Oral sex also carries the risk of infection. Using condoms for oral sex is an effective way to protect yourself.
7. Timely Testing for Sexually Transmitted Diseases
If you engage in high-risk sexual behavior, timely testing for sexually transmitted diseases is essential. Most sexually transmitted diseases can be quickly diagnosed and treated.
Let’s use knowledge to arm our minds, and behavior to protect our health, and enjoy pleasurable and healthy sex together!
