There is a lot of enjoyment and exhilaration with having sex. The problem with having sex is that there is often a lack of responsibility for a lot of people, especially when it comes to sex with multiple partners. The less responsibility a person shows when it comes to sex and sexual activity, the more likely that person is to contract an STI or a sexually transmitted infection. If you are someone who is sexually active then it’s important to be responsible and with a few simple things to keep in mind, you can greatly reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections.
First off you are best having sex with just one partner. This is certainly common knowledge but you need to have a conversation with your partner to make sure that they are only involved with you and no one else. Let them know you’d rather know about another partner and face the hurt then face the medical problems down the road. But you must be willing to do the same. You must be upfront if you ever decide to engage in sexual activity with anyone else. Your partner deserves the same respect you ask from them.
Hopefully you are committing yourself with just one person but if you are or not it is best that you are using protection. Regardless if you are a guy or girl it is imperative that you make sure a condom is used. If you are woman you must insist on it. If you are a guy then you must take it upon yourself to always be prepared with one and make sure you wear one. There is no better protection for a sexually active person than using a condom. It’s irresponsible to put yourself or someone else at risk for infection.
Finally it is important never to assume anything about your sexual health. Make sure if you are having sex with multiple partners that you are getting tested regularly and that your partners are as well. Your health is too important to be careless.
