Other STDs and safe sex

Of course there are more STDs than just Chlamydia and Gonorrhea:

  • Lues
  • Hepatitis B
  • HIV
  • Trichomoniasis
  • Genital warts
  • Herpes
  • A urethral infection
  • Scabies
  • Pubic lice

They fall partly outside this website. Our intention is to 'catch' and treat the most common STDs so easily and cheaply.

  • It is especially important for cocks having sex with men (MSM) and those who have unprotected sex, regularly checking for HIV, hepatitis and lues is a useful thing. They can best discuss this with their own doctor, because a blood test is required for this.
  • A culture can be done for the rarer trichomonas in women a culture can be done. That is very easy via your own doctor.
  • Genital warts and genital herpes are annoying external diseases that often go away on their own but can cause a nuisance. Contact your doctor is you think you might have either of these diseases.
  • A urethral infection is not a true STD but often occurs as the first complaint with an STD. Always a good reason to do a test.
  • Scabies and pubic lice are STDs because these little creatures can easily change form when physical contact is made. This is easy to treat; your doctor knows all about it.
This is what thuisarts.nl says:

Safe sex is the best way to prevent STDs. This is done by preventing direct contact between the mucous membrane of the penis, vagina, anus and mouth.

  • French kissing and pleasuring each other using your fingers is generally considered safe.
  • Make sure that no blood, sperm, pre-cum (fluid that comes out of the penis before climax) or vaginal fluid gets on someone else’s mucous membrane. By doing this, you decrease the chance of transmitting an STD.
  • You can transmit an STD if you, for example, touch your partner’s vagina and then you touch your own vagina directly after.
  • Always use a new condom when having penis-vagina-sex and penis-anus-sex.
  • If you exchange a dildo (or artificial penis) during sex then you must put a new condom on it, another option is to just use your own dildo.
  • A condom or a dental dam provides protection during oral sex (contact between mouth and genitals: going down on someone or giving a blowjob).
  • Never take risks because your sexual partner wants you to. Make your own choices.
  • Don’t let yourself become overwhelmed by your own sexual desire. Think about the situation beforehand and always have condoms on you.

Make sure to always have safe sex. If you find this difficult, try to find out why that is. How do you feel about the use of condoms? For example:

  • I don’t feel like talking about using condoms.
  • I’m too scared to buy condoms.
  • I have no experience with condoms.
  • Sex feels different when I use a condom.
  • I’m ashamed of all the fiddling when I use a condom.
  • It’s his responsibility.
  • It’s her responsibility.
  • I’m not just going to walk around with condoms in my pocket.
  • When I’m turned on, I don’t think about anything else.

Talk about STD's before you have sex. That usually makes it easier to have safe sex together.

Are you in a new, serious relationship? Use condoms for at least three months. Do you and your partner want to stop using condoms after three months? Then it’s smart to both get tested for STDs.
