When you’ve been single for a while with either no desire to be partnered or no available options you want to be in a relationship with, it can be difficult to relieve your sexual urges just through solo time. There’s nothing wrong with casual sex, but if you’re going to participate in getting it on with randoms, there are some precautions you need to take.
The consequences of unprotected sex, whether disease transmission or unwanted pregnancy, can have long-lasting impacts on your life. I don’t think any sex is worth risking your health and future over.
This one is a must..but wrap it up! Don’t let someone telling you condoms feel weird to deter you from protecting your body against unwanted STDs and infections. Condoms are the best way to help prevent sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy, and HIV infections.
Birth control is not a good option for everyone, but if it works for you, it may be a great option to keep you protected against pregnancy. If you’re someone who has issues with hormonal birth control, there are also non-hormonal options for you.
