Is there much to talk about safer sex, but what they need to know the men who have sex with men? Unfortunately, it is difficult to find information for men who have sex with men, because most education about sexuality is for men who have sex with women. It may not be well informed when it comes to sex between men. Many people know that there are certain types of sexual behaviors that are "risky", but do not know how to protect themselves from sexually transmitted infections. Here are some key things you should know. First
clarify this - the safest sex is something we do to reduce our risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection. It's about having more fun with less risk. The most important ways to reduce your risk are:
* Do not enter your body fluids of your partner - in the mouth or anus. Body fluids which must be most careful about are blood, semen, pre-ejaculate (the fluid-like semen from the penis before a man has an ejaculation) and the discharge from sores sexually transmitted infections.
* Do not touch sores or tumors caused by sexually transmitted infections.
Safer sex also means get a medical checkup at least once a year and receive the right treatment if you have a sexually transmitted infection.
sexual games with the least amount of risk are stimulation of the genitalia (with clothes on), kissing, mutual masturbation and erotic massage. But remember that some infections such as herpes and HPV (the virus that causes warts) can pass just by touching the skin. Oral sex
Now let's talk about oral sex. Compared with vaginal and anal sex, oral sex is less risky. If a man is receiving or giving genital stimulation, oral sex even with the man is still exposed to infections such as gonorrhea, syphilis, chancroid, herpes, hepatitis B, cytomegalovirus and HIV rarely. Also remember that a man who has an infection is more susceptible to others. To reduce risk, some men have oral sex until the moment before ejaculation. Other people use condoms for oral sex, making it even safer. Condoms without lubricants and flavors are usually preferred for oral sex.
What about licking the anus? This involves stimulating the anus orally. You can put two people at risk for hepatitis, herpes, HPV and parasites. To make this safer practice, people use a thin piece of latex between the anus and mouth, therefore acts as a barrier. You can also use condoms as a barrier cut and cellophane. Like condoms, some of these barriers come in many flavors.
Anal
unprotected anal sex is considered a high risk activity, like unprotected vaginal sex. Men who have unprotected anal sex are at high risk for many sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea, HIV, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes and hepatitis. The correct use of male and female condoms latex (yes, many men prefer the female condom when having sex with men) may reduce the risk of dangerous infections. Only use water-based lubricants like KY ® jelly or Astroglide ®, with latex condoms. The oil-based lubricants such as Vaseline or hand lotion, or mineral oil or plant damage latex. (One advantage of using a female condom is that they are made of polyurethane and can use any type of lubricant). Normally, the anus does not produce enough lubrication for sex comfortably, so it is very important to use lubrication during anal sex. The lubricant also reduces the risk of damaging the tissue of the anus and the condom breaks.
There are many ways to make safer sex between men. Knowing how to protect yourself and your partner not only makes sex safer, but also more enjoyable.
