Sex?????????

0000000: Sex?????????
I am excited for sex but worried at the same time because there are so many STD’s and different diseases, people can get from sexual intercourse. Does wearing a condom help prevent these things? Is it normal to be worried about STD’s? Before you have sex with some1 do you ask them if they have a disease? haha it sounds funny, buts pretty serious

You shouldn’t be worried about it, it would be rude to ask if they have any disease or have been tested, but to answer you questions yes condoms protect against these things…

Condoms work most of the time, but not all of it. Can get them mostly from anywhere, even local gas station bathrooms.

I wouldn’t ask someone if they had one(maybe i would depending if i know they would take offense), just be like “you better not have any stds”

yeah a condom helps prevent STDs but make sure its not like expired or something cause that would be fucked up haha and like ok if you dont know the person and they are a one night stand i guess its okay to ask haha ive onl had sex with guys i really know but if i had a one night stand id ask and either way i still ask the guys i have sex with bt not like just before doing it and hell yea its totally normal to be worried! like its good you worry about your health that way you dont get anything nasty 🙂

Asking someone isn’t going to tell you anything. Because someone can lie because they are selfish or they don’t know they have anything.

Generally, if you ask someone in the heat of the moment whether or not they have a disease, one of two things are likely to happen, 1, they’ll lie and tell you whatever you want to hear, or 2, they’ll be offended and feel like you think they are a dirty person…so it’s probably not a great idea…if they are a respectable person, they will tell you themselves without you having to ask. And yes, condoms are a great idea to use, especially if you are engaging in intercourse with someone you do not know very well. The only time you should consider maybe not using one is if you are in a completely monogamous relationship, meaning that you and your partner are exclusive to each other and no one else, you are both free of any diseases or infections, and another method of birth control is being used. If you need further information, I reccommend that you contact your local health department/family planning/planned parenthood/free clinic and set up an appointment. They will be able to answer any questions and they have strict confidentiality policies and they will not laugh at any question or concern you may have…good luck and remember to be safe!

In the past, I have suggested to boyfriends that we go get tested together for HIV at a public clinic before we start having sex. That way, we’re both sure that we’re not infected.

Definitely still use a condom until your partner gets tested for the other std’s, those take a bit more time to process and usually you go to the doc’s by yourself to get tested.

You should have some concern about HIV & STD’s because they are very serious. Condoms definately reduce your chances of catching an STD, although abstinance is the only 100% way to ensure you don’t catch anything. It is always good to take to your partner, before you become sexually active, about your sexual history and infections. You should talk about these things BEFORE you get in a position to have sex, not when its about to happen, if you want honest answers. I also recomend you get tested together, 1- this ensures you are both not infected 2- it brings people closer when they are dealing with a serious issue together. You can find a local testing site at https://www.hivtest.org/ . good luck
