Communal toys should have protection on them. One's shared in a momoganus relationship can be shared. And you can clean them in the dishwasher! And dil-dos can be anywhere from $20 thru $100 depending on material, quality, and markup. And you simply dispose of them discretely in the garbage.

xenia,\n\nI think it's just STUPID that anyone would refuse to sell condoms to anyone, because of age.  When will people learn that that's how unwanted pregnancy and disease is spread?  People will DO what they want to DO, regardless of whether they have a rubber or not...better just to have one, ya know?\n\nIf you're in a decent-sized town, there should be a local free clinic.  He could stop by there and probably get them for free, and he doesn't have to listen to their schpiel, if he doesn't want to.

Herpes can be transferred pretty easy. I got it after having sex ONE time with a guy who had it! \n\nI've read that there are couples who have been together 10 or more years, one partner has herpes and the other doesn't. I have been with my fiance for 5 years, I have it, and he doesn't. That doesn't mean that he will never get it though, he just hasn't so far. When I am on a breakout, we absolutely do not have sex, no matter what.\n\nIf you have a new partner that doesn't mean he will get it. To be sure though, and safe, you might want to use condoms every time! I hope that answered your questions. Good luck!

STDs are basically exactly what they're called- sexually transmitted diseases. You contract them through exchanges of fluid, be it semen, blood, or saliva. Some are more serious than others, but they should all be protected against. Use protection during sex, and be sure you know at least a little about any sexual partners.

Hi Ms., I work in that field and have found that in this part of the US in which I live, there has been a number of AA women that have quote/unquote "settled" w/ infected man for several reasons. 1. the ratio of men to women is like 1:3 (maybe more, not certain) which affords him a "pecking order"! 2. Some women feel that they simply CAN NOT live w/o a man or "that" man when she knows (deep down) that he's playing outside of the relationship and lastly, incarcerated or not, there are men on the DL (down low) that's with their women in the day and their men at night. Sadly, in these relationships, condoms are seldom used if at all. \nThe only way to protect yourself is to get tested to know your status and use condoms or some type of barrier for all types of penetrating sexual activities. \nI would love to know how your research concludes, please contact me at  dvdiva7@yahoo.com

If your sex-ed class includes talking about STDs, I know of a good activity you can use.\n\nHave several different types of candy to hand out to the class. (Like 6 hershey kisses, 5 jolly ranchers, 3 jawbreakers, etc)\n\nOnce everyone has a piece of candy, say "If you would like to trade candy with anyone, do it now. You have 5 seconds."\n\nOnce everyone has traded, say "Okay everyone who has a JOLLY RANCHER has a sexually transmitted disease (or you can use a specific one)."\n\nYou can make the number of "infected candies" proportional to STD statistics and the number of kids in your class.\n\nThis will teach them about the stats involved and how easily STDs can be "traded" between people.

I wouldnt take to much stock in the many answers you have already recieved. One of the people here said you can get it through kissing which is complete BS, if you are kissing someone with open sores that are bleeding and you have open sores, maybe. But its contracted mostly through blood and bodily fluids that contain blood. If a dude came in your eye and your eye has a broken vessel possibly. Best advice from me, dont let anyone cum in your face or elsewhere to be safe and its sick anyway!

You never know who has AIDS or some other STD's, so the best thing to do is to use condoms. NEVER have unprotected sex!! Even if the person is young or looks healthy. Be careful!

how about professional use of the English language honey...if you had sex with out a condom he did...there really is no way around it...a small amount of fluid comes out before hand so don't be silly, use condoms.

aids can be contracted through sex and transferring of blood. aids can use semen and.. female sexual fluid (wtf?!) as a medium of travel, and blood. but in the case of blood, it has to enter through your blood stream (like someone has to bleed onto an open wound you have), or i guess if you have blood along with intercourse and stuff. gross

It is transmitted very easily. If they under-ware was washed though before the other person wore it, then no, they wouldn't get herpes from that. \n\nI was worried about giving it to my younger brothers when I lived with them (because we shared the same bathroom). So, I can understand your worry, but you have nothing to worry about as long as they were washed.

no, not an STD...no way to get a STD. Probably a broken or damage blood vessel from yanking too hard...calm down, it will go away with time...now take it easy and stop with the rough handling! Or you will go blind LOL

unless one of you had oral/bum sex with somebody else, or contracted it from another form such as sharing needles, or have a parent with the std and unknowing of it, it is very unlikely for you to get it. But remember it is possible to get some like Trich from just sharing a towell on your privates. But you are not a liar as stated above by another user. You stated that you are no longer a virgin so how can you and your boyfriend be lying about being one. Their response confused me.

HIV spreads not only by having unprotected sex, there are other modes also, like, blood transfusion from an unknown source, using needles without sterilising like being done by drug users, etc. But it does not spread by simple touching or hugging or kissing or such harmless activities.\nIn your case, if and when you have sex with many women, how do you propose to ensure that the other party is uninfected? So....so....so......\nBetter safe than sorry!

craigs list. just be careful. There are a lot of freaks out there in general. A few things to keep in mind when looking for casual sex like that. ALWAYS PLAY SAFE. People will tell you they're HIV-. Even if they just got tested, that only tells you what was going on 3 months earlier, not since. Also, never give anyone personal contact information, without meeting up with them in a public place to check them out first. It's also a good idea to set up a safe call. That means telling someone that you trust, what you're up to, and agreeing to call them at a certain time to make sure everything is going ok. You can even set up a question for them to ask you, that only the two of you would know the right answer to. If you answer it wrong, they know that you need help. Casual sex is a choice, and can be great. But it is what it is. Care enough about yourself enough to be safe and careful. And oh yeah, HAVE A BLAST!
