when is it safe to have sex?

Question

is it true that u cannot have sex five days before and after the girl's period?

Answer 1

they are the times you are most fertile but still a big risk of pregnancy,its an unreliable method.always use birth control

Answer 2

Safe sex only comes with a latex condom!

Never count on the so call "safe period" chance of getting pregnant depends on the girl’s age and health, e.g. an healthy 18 years-old girl might become pregnant 25 days in a month while a 40 year-sold might only have 25 minutes in a month. Moreover, there is something call STD. So latex condom is the option.

Answer 3

Semen and vaginal fluids carry STDs--both viral and bacterial--more easily than saliva alone so oral/genital contact is more likely to pass an infection than oral/oral contact. It depends on the pathogen. People are known to have had gonorrhea infections in the throat from oral sex while direct oral transmission is rare because it doesn't usually reside in the mouth. That doesn't make it impossible, just highly unlikely. Hepatitis, HPV and herpes can all be transmitted orally. HIV is rather fragile outside the body so there has to be direct fluid to blood contact, and there's always minor tearing in vaginal or anal sex. That's how it's spread. It's very much less likely that you'll have open wounds in your mouth (although not impossible) so HIV isn't OFTEN spread that way and it's reasonable to say that it's never spread by kissing. That can be said of a number of STDs but not all of them. They used to make a distinction between oral and genital herpes. Not recently, though. Now they don't make the distinction by where the virus resides but by the type of virus. There are true protective measures. Wrap it. Thorough testing with shared results. Monogamy. It's a degree of risk. Oral/oral has the least risk (but still has some), oral/genital or anal has more and genital/genital or anal the most risk. Nothing is completely safe, either. The bacteria that causes ulcers can be transmitted orally.

Answer 4

I assume you are asking when it is safe to have sex to avoid pregnancy. Because technically, a woman can have sex anytime they want to, but it is only safe sex if you use a condom.

It is true that a woman can get pregnant more easily before or after her period, because that is the time she is most likely ovulating. That means that the egg she releases each month is ready to be fertilized by sperm.

To avoid pregnancy, use birth control. Use condoms as well to avoid pregnancy and STDs.

Answer 5

Never. No. According to researchers at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, only about 30 percent of women actually have their fertile period between days 10 and 17 of their menstrual cycle. This adds validity to what many 'accidentally' pregnant women, including myself, have long suspected.
Researchers found that the potential for fertility exists on almost every day of a woman's menstrual cycle. Most women in the study were between the ages of 25 and 35--prime reproductive age and the age when menstrual cycles are most regular. The window of fertility was found to be even more unpredictable for teenagers and women approaching menopause.

Data on tests of 213 women during almost 700 menstrual cycles concluded that even women with normally regular menstrual cycles should be advised that their fertile window can be significantly unpredictable.

Researchers showed that 2% of women started their fertile window by day four of their menstrual cycle, and 17% by day seven. Day one of the menstrual cycle is the day that menstruation begins. More than 70% of women were in their fertile window before day 10 or after day 17. Women who regarded their menstrual cycles as "regular" had a 1 to 6 percent probability of being fertile even on the day that their next period was expected to begin. This leaves few "safe" days for natural birth control methods such as the "rhythm method." Women who participated in the study were required to provide daily urine samples that were tested for estrogen and progesterone. A sudden change in these hormones marks the occurrence of ovulation. This test was used to identify ovulation days during 696 menstrual cycles.

Answer 6

Not true. You can have sex anytime - before, during, after. Unless you are talking about unprotected sex and not getting prego. There's never a safe time to have unprotected sex unless you're ready to become a parent.

Answer 7

You can have sex whenever you want! even if you on on your period athough could be very messy! But when you say "safe", theres always a possiblilty of it not being safe. theres always a risk. Just go on the pill and use condoms, so you ave nothing to worry about, and can enjoy it better!! use common sense and dont be stupid. try not to have sex when your very drunk otherwise you might forget to use condom and get pregant. so many people have had babies due to being drunk! x

Answer 8

OMG this is like the 17th time this question has been asked! What in the heck is so difficult to understand?? Penis+vagina-protection=baby. Simple as. No mathmatics involved, just common sense! Use a Durex and you can sh@g yourself silly 24/7 365 - no glove=no love!!!

Answer 9

I think perhaps the person didn't want sex. It is safe whenever even during the girls period as long as you both are comfortable with this. Although ALWAYS ALWAYS wear a condom there are no excuses!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 10

never... i was "careful" and i still got pregnant because a condom broke. Talk to your doctor for birth control options and then sit down and consider if you are ready for children or the choices that pregnancy brings. Then you can decide when it is safe to have sex.

Answer 11

Not true at all, there is NO time that is 100% safe! Just use a condom, get her on birthcontrol and you should be good.
