How long should you wait? How to practice safe sex. How to make love.

Sex is a natural part of life. Sex is important, we all know that. We are sexual beings and we all crave for intimacy and bonding in our relationships. Sex is healthy and pleasurable, a stress relief in a very stressful and crazy world, and unfortunately, it’s not getting easier or better anytime soon.

How long should you wait to have sex?

The most popular answer is that you should wait a month or so, with just over a fifth of Britons (22%) being of this opinion. However, while only one in six Britons (17%) say it’s ideal to sleep with a new partner within a week, one in four people in a relationship (24%) did (YouGov, Relationships: how long should you wait before having sex, meeting the parents or moving in together). A survey of 2,000 people by IllicitEncounters found that 54% of single people would sleep with a new partner on a first date, while just 24% still believe you should wait until at least three dates before having sex with someone new (Metro, The three-date rule is dead as most people are up for having sex sooner).

However, results suggest that waiting to initiate sexual intimacy in unmarried relationships is generally linked to more positive outcomes. The longer a dating couple waits to have sex, the better their relationship is after marriage.

Sexual restraint allows couples to focus on theemotional aspects of their relationships, on building a genuine, effective, and meaningful communication, on growing trust, care, and respect, and on learning to sacrifice, commit, and compromise.

The rate at which couples are falling apart and sexual promiscuity is on the rise. Increased promiscuity is associated with some serious mental health issues, such as bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, or low self-esteem, higher likelihood of cheating in long-term, serious relationships, higher risk of sexually transmitted infections, such as HIV/AIDS, gonorrhea, and syphilis, and life-threatening cancers.

Sex have real impact in our lives. It should not be taken so lightheartedly. Many people are suffering from STIs from having too many sexual partners, have highly inflated sense of self-worth, and severe psychological and emotional problems.

How to practice safe sex

More than 1 million sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are acquired every day worldwide, the majority of which are asymptomatic. Drug resistance is a major threat to reducing the burden of STIs worldwide, Who, Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)

• Everyone should get tested for STIs at the start of a new relationship, regardless of their sexual history. This is especially important if you or your partner have multiple sexual partners. It only takes one unprotected sexual encounter to contract an STI or develop an unwanted pregnancy.
• Use and dispose condoms correctly. Throw away your used condom in a trash container. Do not flush it down the toilet.

  The use of condoms is an act of care, responsibility, self-love and of shared love.

• Use a different condom every time you have sex.
• If you are sensitive to latex, use condoms made of polyurethane or polyisoprene.
• Do store condoms in cool, dry places. Do not use out-of-date condoms. If a condom is discolored, smells, or feels brittle, sticky or dry when coming out of its package, throw it away and get a new one.
• Open the package, take the condom out of the packet. Handle it carefully so as not to damage it with your fingernails, teeth, rings, or other sharp objects. Pinch the tip of the condom to remove extra air and make room for the semen (cum) to go, then place it over the head of the erect penis before your sexual activity begins. Unroll the condom all the way down to the base of the penis.
• After sex, withdraw the penis from your partner while it is still erect (before the penis goes soft), holding the condom on firmly at the base of the penis to make sure it does not come off. Remove the condom, being very careful not to spill any semen and finally, throw it away in a bin.
• Always use water-based or silicone-based lube with latex condoms. By applying lubricant generously, sex with condoms becomes much better and actually much safer.

  Condoms are the only method of contraception to protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), such as HIV/Aids, gonorrhea, syphilis, and herpes as well as unwanted pregnancy.

   

How to make love

1. Be sure this is what you and your partner really want.
2. Sex is not just coitus or sexual intercourse. Foreplay, kisses, hugs, cuddling, and everything else constitutes sex. Sex is making each other feel unique, beautiful, and very special. It is about the quality of your relationship, the intimacy, the closeness, and bonding.
3. Have a look at the condom to look for tears or spills, and then pull it off. Clean the genital area before and after sex, and urinate shortly after sex.
4. Anal sex is overrated. The anus does not produce lubrication naturally, so an appropriate lube is an absolute must to prevent discomfort or injury.
   

   Anal sex is popularized by porn movies. Avoid using porn as a guide for learning about sex because it’s unrealistic.

5. The missionary position is a standard coital position in which the penetrating partner lies on top of the receiving partner, controlling the rhythm and depth of his thrusts. It is the best for first timers.
6. The spoons sex position is recommended if you are feeling tired, sleepy, or just lazy.
7. The cowgirl sex position is popular, cool, and very easy to pull off. The woman takes control of the speed, depth, and angle of penetration. However, it is the most dangerous position because it increases the risk of penis fractures.
8. The Doggy style position is perfect for both vaginal and anal sex. It allows for a deep penetration and direct G-spot stimulation.
9. The 69 position is a sexual position where two people are giving each other oral sex simultaneously. A blowjob is an oral sex act that involves the mouth, tongue, lips, and throat. Remember, you should only do something if you want to and are confortable doing it. Swallowing semen is safe if the male partner is healthy and does not have STD and other infectious diseases.
