Know your partner, his state of health,
his lifestyle and how many different
sexual partners he has. If you enjoy
being with a partner, see him again. The
fewer different partners, the less your
risk of acquiring a disease.

Engage in sex in a setting which is
conducive to good hygiene. Be certain
to wash any part of the body contacting
the rectal area before contact with the
mouth.

Both partners should shower together
as part of foreplay to check for sores,
lymph glands, etc...which might not
have been noticed by the other partner.

Kissing, cuddling, massaging and
mutual masturbation have a very low
risk of transmitting disease.

Exchanging certain body fluids has a
higher risk of transmitting diseases.
Swallowing semen, urine or feces
increases your risk of acquiring a
sexually transmitted disease. Oral sex
when sores or Cuts are present within
the mouth has a high risk.

Rimming has an extremely high risk of
transmitting disease except in a totally
monogamous couple after examination
by their health care provider.

the anus through which germs from
both partners can enter the body. Use
of a water soluble lubricant helps
reduce friction and tears and should be
used even with a condom. Wearing a
condom may reduce the risk of
transmitting diseases between
partners. Anal douching before or after
sex increases the risk of acquiring an
infection because it removes normal
barriers to infections.

Fisting is extremely dangerous no
matter what precautions are taken.

Urinating after sex may reduce your risk
of acquiring some infections.

Reduce or eliminate the use of all street
drugs, alcohol and marijuana as
studies have shown these may impair
the body’s immune system and your
judgment.

Maintain your body’s immune system
by eating well, exercising and getting
adequate rest. Cope with stress by
learning relaxation techniques (yoga,
self-hypnosis, etc.). See your physician
On a regular schedule to be checked
routinely for inapparent diseases.

Sex is an important part of our lives. We owe it to ourselves
and to our partners to keep it as healthy (low risk) as we can.
