Make Love,With Care

Don’t let the thrills of sexual adventure land you in a mess. Know all about Sexually Transmitted Infections – and how much they can harm you.

Casual sex, sometimes with a partner one hardly knows, has become a common feature in modern society, especially amongst those who are addicted to drugs and alcohol. Having a different sexual partner every few weeks or months is considered ‘cool’ and an achievement to be bragged about!

But how many women realize the kind of risks they are exposing themselves to when they live such a life? Many women find it difficult to ask their partners to use condoms, fearing that their partners, whom they think they are in love with, may get offended at such a suggestion. There are others who proceed with unprotected sex as they don’t like to displease their partners as many men find condoms sexually unsatisfying.

Two Big Risks For Women

Unprotected sex has two major risks for women, the first being an unwanted pregnancy and the other which is the riskier one, is that of getting infected with a sexually transmitted infection.

- Young girls feel that an  unwanted pregnancy can be easily managed by popping in an ‘I-pill’ immediately after sexual intercourse. Little do they realize that the I-pill has a 10-15% failure rate and they could get pregnant even after they have taken the pill!
