Health care providers always say that practicing safe sex is the best way to prevent ourselves from acquiring sexually transmitted diseases like herpes and AIDS. I don't know why intellectually-gifted people use this term for campaigns on family planning and reproductive health. But if we look deeper into the whole context of the popular term, we'll come to a conclusion that there's no such thing as safe sex.
Why? Because sex will always be dangerous, risky, hazardous or whatever you wanna call it. This is especially true when you do it with someone you just met in the bar during a cold lonely night. Contraceptives like condoms, pills, or IUDs can't really protect men and women from STDs. Like for example, men are geared with condoms during sex with an unknown partner to "protect" himself and his soon-to-be-partners from acquiring STDs. So there's no semen, and no blood transferred from one system to another
But what about saliva, since most STDs can be transmitted through kissing---especially if it's torrid, or "tongue-to-tongue". Kissing is not as safe unless people plunge into sex wearing condoms and
GAS MASK! Oh wait! What I actually meant by kissing was going oral. There is a big possibility that you can acquire STDs through this form of sex, especially if one or both partners have mouth sores where the virus can enter. For goodness sake, they're taking away all the pleasures in life if that would happen. Anyway, I still stand to my ground that there's no safe sex. Abstinence is far better! It's surely gonna suck (no pun intended) abstaining from sex. However, I'd rather be safe than sorry.
