Being in college is one of the best times for many young adults. Besides studying your dream course, college offers you an opportunity to mingle and have lots of fun. For some people, college gives them an opportunity to build an amazing relationship with their significant other. But you know what a lot of young adults don’t know while dating on campus? Practicing safe sex. Lucky enough for you, this post will give you tips on how you and your heartthrob can have sex safe while building a long and enviable relationship.
Always use a condom
This is the number one rule in the safe sex guide you should never break. Interestingly many universities today provide their students with free condoms because they know the value of safe sex. So before you decide to make out with your lover, it would be smart to swing by your school clinic to grab a handful of latex, after all, it’s free. The thing about condoms is that it helps prevent the transmission of STIs. More so, it helps prevent pregnancy which honestly you may not be ready for while you’re in college. Remember, not using a condom at all could amount to shooting yourself in the leg.
Never have multiple partners
Yes, you may have some wild fantasies you may want to experiment with, especially when you’re in college, but having multiple partners is a big no-no. While you may trust yourself, you can’t vouch for people you may be having fun with. For all you know they could have STI’s and have no idea that they have it, so, your best bet would be to have only one partner.
Get tested regularly
Always strive to get tested whether you’re sexually active or not. The thing is, some people may have STIs and have no idea they do, but through testing, you know your body. Hence you’ll be able to keep you and your partner safe. More so, you should always be open to your partner and freely talk about any health concern you may be having or experiencing. This not only keeps you both safe but also helps you build a strong and thriving relationship. If your partner isn’t interested in using protection, it would be smart to keep off sex until both parties are ready to be responsible.
Don’t have sex when you’re high or tipsy
Sometimes you may want to unwind after a long and stressful day. But you know what; never have sex when you’re high or tipsy. This is because you may not be able to make a wise decision when you’re high or tipsy. More so, using protection may not even cross your mind. Before engaging in any acts of sex, take time to evaluate the situation and make sure you’re not in any health risk by doing so.
In a nutshell, keeping you and your partner safe is your responsibility. This is why you must practice safe sex always. Happy sweetheart month, Happy Valentine’s day….and have mind blowing safe sex with one partner.
Happy Valentines Day! Thank you for the tips!
