Safe Sex
Sex is something special to be shared between two
people who have known each other long enough to know that the time is right and
are old enough to cope if everything suddenly falls apart.
But, for when you do decide the time is right, or if you're one of those that
won't wait, here are some FACTS that could save you from catching or
spreading some of the unpleasant diseases that you could pick up.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY'RE TELLING THE TRUTH?
Some
people are not responsible and may lie to you about their past, in order to get
you into bed. The only way to really protect yourself against STD's and HIV is
to wear a condom. This will help protect both of you, not only from HIV, the
virus that can lead to AIDS, but also syphilis, gonorrhoea and herpes. Only
a condom can help prevent the spread of disease.
BUT HE’S NOT OVER 30 !?
There is a big misconception in the gay community right now that only guys over
30 have AIDs…. That’s just not true! The vast majority of new cases are kids
under 20! When you have sex with someone, it’s like having sex with everyone
he had sex with! Think about that for a minute….
BUT I'M ONLY GIVING
HIM A BLOWJOB.
You can
contract AIDs even from giving a blowjob. Some people think that there is
very little risk this way, but no one has said that you CAN'T get it this
way. It's not worth the risk, use a condom when you give him the blow
job. He'll still like it, and so will you.
Women:
Why not wait a little longer? If you decide to have sex, there are many ways to
prevent unwanted pregnancy, including the coil, diaphragm and the pill. But
these methods will not help you avoid STD's. If you use a condom, you
will not only guard against unwanted pregnancy, but will also help to protect
yourself from STD's, including genital warts and herpes.
Men:
I know it’s not cool to ask a guy to wear a condom… and I also know the rate
of AIDs seems to be dropping. But the fact of the matter is that AIDs kills!
That one night stand isn’t worth dying for! Use a condom the first time and
everytime!
