Sexually Transmitted Diseases not Only from Sex

Did you know that you don't need to have sex to spread STD's?

Many people are not sure about this and this is one of the reasons why sexually transmitted diseases are spread. They should almost be called bodily fluid transmitted diseases because it's not always intercourse that spreads these illnesses.

Here are some others ways to get an illness and how to prevent it. It's important to be aware to protect yourself and your partners.



1.) Kissing
First and most known is the transmission of colds. Even though it's not a sexual thing, when the body has a cold, the immune system is affected and it's easier to catch anything else, it's like leaving the door to your house open and letting insects fly in.

Oral herpes can be spread, also known as cold sores. It's so common, and not harmful but it does not look very nice. If your partner has oral herpes, don;t kiss them until the outbreak passes.



2.) Oral sex
This is a very common way to transmit diseases. people often use condoms during sex, but vary rarely during oral sex. You should wear a condom every time during oral sex.

herpes is easily transmitted because the mouth is all delicate exposed tissue. Gonorrhea and chlamydia are risks of oral sex. Syphilis is also possible.

Wear a condom during oral sex and women should protect themselves, wear a DENTAL DAM when men perform oral sex. Click the link above if you are not sure what a dental dam is, that resource tells you how to make one out of a condom.



3.) Heavy Petting or Mutual Masturbation
A popular alternative to teenagers who do not want to engage in sexual intercourse. This sexual activity still puts the participants at risk. When you touch the other person's intimate places, like the penis or vagina, then touch your own, maybe in a form of mutual masturbation, this increases the risk.

Any time that you transfer bodily fluids and they enter through soft issue like in the mouth or vagina, you can transit these viruses. You can get other form of sexual illnesses or even pubic lice or crabs this way, just by being close.



4.) Sharing utensils or intimate adult products
You can spread oral herpes by sharing utensils. Again this goes for anything that you share bodily fluids. Sharing a toothbrush can spread diseases. Sharing sex toys can spread diseases. Get your own toothbrush, get your own vibrators and adult toys. never share these intimate items because you can transmit diseases. If you want to share a sex toy, always make sure that you put a condom on it first.

Be aware that sometimes you may engage in an intimate act and not intend to lead up to sex, but your sharing of love and intimacy could get you sick. This is especially important if you are in a short-term relationship or especially if you enjoy the services of escorts. Be so sure to protect yourself because escorts are usually ridden with diseases, and keep in mind that not alldiseases are noticeable.


The end conclusion if this case study about diseases is that the best way to prevent STD's is to always use a condom. Not just for sexual intercourse but with using sex toys and enjoying oral sex too. Protect yourself and your lover, every time.
