You love getting it on—but in this day and age, who knows what's lurking in your partner's bloodstream? Nobody.

Here's how to stay safe.

To complete this How-To you will need:

FDA-approved latex or polyurethane condoms
Spermicide
Some water-based personal lubricant
Female condom
And a dental dam or plastic wrap

Step 1: Have condoms on hand

Condoms are the best defense against STDs—keep them on hand. Make sure you have some polyurethane condoms, too, in case your partner is allergic to latex.

Tip: Make sure your condoms are useable. If they've been exposed to excessive heat or light—or are just plain old—they may be damaged and unsafe.

Step 2: Exchange sexual histories

Exchange sexual histories with your partner before sex. Have either of you had an STD? Ask about incurable diseases such as HIV, genital herpes, and Human Papilloma virus.

Step 3: Ask about high-risk behaviors

Ask about high-risk behaviors like intravenous drug use, anal sex, and sex with prostitutes.

Tip: Remember, people often lie about sex.

Step 4: Put on condom

When everyone's ready, unroll a condom over the tip of the erect penis after pulling back any foreskin. Pinch the top half-inch of the condom to prevent air bubbles and leave room for ejaculate.

Step 5: Use spermicide

Use a spermicide—or a condom with a spermicidal lubricant—for further protection against pregnancy. Follow the product's directions.

Step 6: Hold condom when ejaculating

When the man ejaculates, he should hold the condom firmly at the base so it stays put and fluids don't leak out.

Tip: Applying a water-based lubricant to the vagina or anus can help keep the condom from breaking. Avoid oil-based lubricants like petroleum jelly and baby oil, which can weaken latex.

Step 7: Use a dental dam

If you plan on performing oral-to-vaginal or oral-to-anal sex, make sure you use a dental dam.If you don't have one on hand, you can use non-microwaveable plastic wrap instead.

Step 8: Monitor yourself

After the encounter, monitor yourself for symptoms of STDs, which include burning or itching sensations, unusual discharge, and the appearance of sores or growths around your genitals.

Tip: It can take two or three days for symptoms to appear, and some STDs cause no symptoms at all.

Step 9: Be consistent

Check for STD annually, even if you think you're in a monogamous relationship.

  • there's no such thing as "safe sex". The only way to completely be safe is to abstain from it. But by using condoms and other methods you are practicing "safer sex" and decreasing the risk of disease.

  • @VicSotto

    I agree with you! That program put my entire problem

    into focus. Ive made my girlfriend orgasm during our

    intercourse now. It wasnt easy but definitely worth it.

    I highly recommend this to everyone whos having

    a big problem on intercourse. But dude, you got

    the site name mispelled. that should be:

    LastLongerNow.info
