Is safe sex ever completely safe?
Safer sex practices aim to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and diseases. Because sex always involves some risk of STIs, there is no such thing as completely safe sex, so most experts prefer the term “safer sex practices.”
- The male condom is a fine, strong, latex-rubber sheath available in a variety of sizes and styles.
- The female condom resembles a regular condom made of polyurethane, but is designed to fit inside the vagina. The female condom is pre-lubricated and is ‘one size fits all’.
- You should use other barrier methods – for example, condoms on vibrators and other penetrative sex toys, a latex glove for digital penetration of the vagina or anus, and a dental dam.
- To be effective, condoms must be used from the start of sex.
- Always use a new, lubricated condom every time you have sex. Check the use-by date and open the packet, being careful not to tear the condom with fingernails, jewellery or teeth.
- If you need extra lubricant, use only water-based lubricants. Other lubricants can damage the condom.
