Always Safe Sex

It is essential that if you are having sex then the importance of wearing a condom to protect both yourself and your partner from the dangers of HIV/AIDS and other STDs can't be stressed enough. Condoms are the only form of protection that not only helps to stop the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as HIV but also prevents unwanted pregnancy. There should be no question whether or not to use a condom especially if you are having one night stands or sex with different people.

With anal intercourse more strain is placed on the condom. You may want to use a stronger or thicker condom as an extra precaution, however standard condoms are just as effective as long as they are used correctly with plenty of lubricant. Condoms with a lubricant containing Nonoxynol 9 should NOT be used for anal sex as Nonoxynol 9 damages the lining of the rectum and increases the risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. If you are sexually active remember condoms are a way for you to live a long, healthy and disease free life.
