What exactly is "safe sex"?

Question

I've heard the warning repeated so many times, "Practice safe sex!!" but I don't think I've ever had anyone officially define the term.

So, what exactly is "safe sex?" I just started becoming sexually active last night, I'm in a completley monogamous relationship with my g/f who I've dated for 2 months, and she's taking the birth control pill. Would you classify this as safe sex?

Thanks

Answer 1

What is called 'safe-sex' is not very safe, when you consider that latex condoms and benzene lubricants have well-documented health risks to the consumer. This message SEX=DEATH equating love-making with life-threatening is part of a health scare campaign of the AIDS Industry. And since I have become educated that 'HIV' is a fabulous monster, an infectious myth-conception, this removes the threat of death from socalled 'unsafe' sex which is really just natural sex.

I don't believe in using condoms personally. I'm not straight, I'm not going to get someone pregnant. And taking birth control pills represents a potential health risk to your girlfriend, so no, I wouldn't consider that a completely 'safe' option either. Anal sex is always an option for straights, as long as the partner maintains good hygeine and doushes. I will use lambskin condoms [WITHOUT CHEMICAL LUBRICANT, YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN NATURAL LUBE RECIPES FROM THE LINK BELOW] if a partner insists and we are not in a relationship. However, I always talk to my prospective partners about their health, if they feel well, have had any unusual symptoms, etc. I also know what to look for on a guy and give him a thorough short-arms and (other) inspection before anything happens between us.

I'm basically a disbeliever in what is called "safe or safer sex," sex is sex. I personally don't like to cheapen it by making it too 'safe.' We are emotionally risking our full selves in the act of human intimacy. So, if it is safe, it would probably be anonymous, but not ultimately fulfilling.

I would recommend non-toxic alternative therapies if I happen to miss something, and discovered it later during or after sex. These can be used to boost the immune system for a particular condition and prevent the onset if caught early.

After practicing insertive sex, it may be a good idea to force yourself to URINATE (drink water if necessary) and EJACULATE (if that hasn't already happened) and to do these things ASAP. These activities flush out the urethra and other ducts that are down there (vas deferens, etc) and may flush out any germs with which one may have come in contact.

Many socalled "STIs/STDs" [once called sexually transmitted diseases by the Conventional, Pharameutically-based Medical Industry and now called sexually transmitted infections] are not alleged to be spread through semen or seminal fluid, but sores and saliva. Condoms have not been shown effective in preventing most common STDs. Even if one 'contracts' these bugs, approximately 70-90% of those are said to be 'carriers' who do not develop chronic symptoms in their lifetimes, clear it from their bodies naturally or after a short course of conventional antiboitic treatment [a week or two] or preferably through the more prophylactic use of alternative, non-toxic immune enhancing therapies to sustain your overall health and make you less resistant to dis-ease-- thus calling into question the significance of the virus/germ versus the human host or organizms' role in immune sufficiency and sustainability.


Hope this helps. I don't tell people what to do or think, but this is information that everyone needs to have in order to make an informed decision.

Safe sex is not exchanging bodily fluids. Which means always use condoms, if you are going to participate in oral sex you use plastic wrap and condoms.

Now if you are girlfriend are in a monogamous relationship and you are 100 percent sure that she doesn't have anything, and you know this for a fact, like you guys have been tested for everything together and its in black and white then yes I would consider this safe sex. Please make sure that you do your homework first, its just like betting your life, you take a chance when you don't know the facts.
Good Luck..

Monogamous oral, anal and/or vaginal contact & exchange of body fluids with a partner that has no infections, doesn't use illegal drugs (that lower immune system, speeds up rate of infection moving through our body and IV drugs that is direct blood contact) and who is monongomous with you. For those with commitment issues, getting tested before and after each relationship for all STD/STI and know that HIV testing is not part of a STD screen and must be requested separately. Even nice people may be infected (and not know it) so insist both you and your new partner be tested, use protection or abstinance for six months, get retested then if you are sure both of you are going to be monogomous unprotected sex can be considered safe. These precautions may seem like it takes much out of the desire to be intimate, but having a STD, HIV and disfigurement from the side effects of drugs used to treat is worse.

Also getting tested annually or as frequently as you change partners is also your legal and medical proof that you were not infected as of the date you were tested.

Lastly, if a woman is newly infected with HIV at the time she conceives a child, she probably will test negative during the pranatal screening and therefore will not receive prevention treatments. This raises the unborn baby's chances of being HIV positive to 98% versus women that know they are HIV positive and follow treatment as prescribed have less than 2% chance of passing it to their unborn child.

Answer 4

The only way to prevent contracting a STD or an unwanted pregnancy is abstinence.

No sex is ever really 100% safe though. Condoms definitely help prevent STDs, and birth control is great for preventing pregnancy, but nothing is ever 100% effective. If a person is having sex there is always going to be the risk of contracting a STD if another person has it, or getting a girl pregnant.

To most people "safe sex" is always wearing a condom, limiting partners and risky behavior, knowing your STD status and your partners, etc.

Hope that answered your question!

Answer 5

The only "safe sex" is "no sex." But, if you must, use condoms. Condoms help to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. You have only been with this girl for 2 months. HIV/AIDS can take up to 6 months or more for the viral load to be able to be seen in a lab test. The birth control pill is only effective for preventing pregnancy, and that's only if used correctly.

Answer 6

No. Safe sex means that the chance of spreading anything from one person to the other (including, STDs, as well as pregnancy) is reduced as far as it can (no method is perfect, except abstinence.) Safe sex will always include condoms at the very least. How long you've known your gf isn't important - especially since over half of people with STDs don't know that they have one. Anyone she's ever been with in her life can affect you.

even if condoms aren't as effective as advertized, anything to increase your chances of not contracting an STD is a good thing.

PS: Mr "sicktodeath..." seems to have managed to give his answer in less than 3 minutes, in spite of all that research. His response seems to have been planned in advance, which makes me wonder if he has an agenda he's not telling you about...it's worth considering.

Answer 7

Sex with animals...Only because they do not carry disease that are sexually transmitted to humans.
The pill does not protect again sexually transmitted infections/diseases.
Also masturbation is a no no without washing your hand first because if you have touched the wrong thing in a public bathroom you can give yourself herpes.

Answer 8

No, no, no, no, a thousand times NO! Safe sex is either NO sex at all or wearing a latex condom during said act. Any time you exchange body fluids, you are at high risk for STD including AIDS.

Answer 9

There really isn't such a thing as safe sex. There is "safer" sex. Sager sex is being choosey with whom you sleep with. Using condoms is probably a good thing to do. The best way to have "safe sex" is to wait untill you are married.

Answer 10

The only safe sex is abstinence.
