Safe, is not so much safe as it is "safer." And by that, "safer sex" refers to sexual practices that minimize risks of disease transmission, and recognizes that all sexual activity incurs at least some risk. It doesn't do much to protect the heart and soul.

Safer sex for your heart should involve having the clarity of mind and judgment to know what you are doing and to make the right decisions. Good judgment and decisions are key to protecting yourself from hurt feelings and emotional pain.

A common pitfall is being unable to distinguish love from sex. For many people, sex is just sex. And as long as they know this and they go to bed with people who feel the same way, their feelings won't be hurt. But if you are looking for love, and give sex to someone as a concession, that doesn't guarantee they'll love you in return. In fact, it often doesn't.

Know what you want. Don't act rashly. Think things through. Love can feel so amazing and spontaneous, but it clouds our judgment sometimes and makes us do foolish things. When choosing partners and lovers, choose someone whose intentions are compatible with your own. If your friend-with-benefits isn't interested in having you as a steady partner, sleeping with him/her is not going to change his/her mind. And don't expect leopards to change their spots. If you get with someone with a long history of cheating, don't expect to be The One who turns him/her around.

Like a broken condom, sometimes you cannot prevent all heartbreaks. You could have taken plenty of care to be a kind, loving partner, but sometimes partners will stray no matter what you do. That hurts. It's not your fault, and you just have to pick up the pieces and move on.

There is a tie-in between safer sex that protects your physical body, and sex that protects the vulnerability of the soul. Find a partner who respects you, cares about you and is seeking the same relationship goals as you. Respect is key. Your partner must respect your body and your health and want to protect it. Protecting your health and your partner's health includes mutual STD screening, always using condoms to prevent infections, and having a plan for contraception.

i dont really understand what you mean here. safe sex generally means to prevent std's/pregnancy and the safest way to have sex is probably if the girl is on the pill and the boy wears a condom, in my opinion anyway.

as for the emotional side of it, if you need to be protected from the emotional side of sex, then you are probably not ready to have sex or you dont completely trust the person you are with or something.

even if the relationship is purley for sex there can be some emotions involved. safe sex is using condoms to protect u against pregnancy (as well as using birth controll but bc wont protect against stds and stis) and stds as well as stis. i think safe is thinking about what can happen if u don't use condoms and educating youself about stds. safe should mean that making sure both of u have no stds before having sex and getting tested regularally if u are having sex specially if you have multiple partners.
