How to Practice Safe Sex

Whether you’re in a committted relationship or participating in a one-night stand, when it comes to engaging in sex, safety and communication are always key. Here are 5 simple ways you can establish discourse to enjoy sex safely. 

Communicate

Discuss it with your partner and prepare your questions - What do you really want to know from your partner? (For example: have they recently been tested for an STI, when was the last time they were tested?)

Keep Comfort in Mind

Create a comfortable environment - In person and in private!

Discuss Boundaries

Set boundaries and communicate - If either one of you are not enjoying any aspect, be vocal about it.

Safety First

Use protection and lubrication - Protect against pregnancy and STIs.

Reflect

Reflect after your experience
