Yes, a lot of things we take for granted during sex could actually lead to regrets.
One of the things we should always be conscious of is the health angle to sex – you can never be too cautious.
Here are 7 sexual hygiene tips to help you achieve safe sex:
1. Always wash your genitals frequently. Your genital area can be breeding ground for harmful organisms which you pass on during sex. So stay clean.
2. Clean up before and after sex. As frequently as possible, have a shower with clean water before and after sex. Doing it before sex helps you both take off the dirt and bacteria while the after-sex shower helps keep away those skin-to-skin contact STDs.
3. Keeps hands clean for sex. Always approach sex with clean hands, especially where fingering is going to happen. Germs in fingernails can cause much damage.
4. Don’t improvise sex toys at random. It is not everything in the home that looks like a sex toy that you should use during sex. They may lead to injuries.
5. A pubic hair cut is not a bad idea. Keeping it clean and aired down there, around the vagina and penis helps ward off boils and other skin problems.
6. Never have oral sex where the genitals or mouth is injured. Injury around those places can be opportunity to transfer STDs so stay off oral sex – including kissing, until it heals.
7. Use a condom as often as possible. If you are not sure of your partner and yourself, please use a condom.
