Information is power, and it may be of use to you. Many females I know have often wanted to apply this knowledge, especially the ring method, to most males you find in pubs on a fri/sat night.
Trust me, I have no problems. Just throwing that one out there. Don't want Logi to get no AIDS. Gotta encourage him to stick to something with pants until he learns. (Here my friends, is a prime example of why sex education is kinda.. needed in school. I got it and I know enough to stay safe. Americans don't know better )
i never had sex ed at the age all you had it thanks to bush (or so im thinking )
and ok for the last time. i put aids in the title so this thread can be of use after my specific statment is solved. its OBVIOUS i cant get aids from making out (even though there are traces of aids in saliva [no risk unless you have open wounds though] look that up). but herpes, or something else is considered an std. sti is what some people call it so i put it there (sexually transmitted infection). and sure its not the same as genetal herpes, its still herpes, which is bad, so i wanted to know the risk i had it.
Nothing to do with Bush i think. It's just American culture. I have heard tell that there is a tendency to be less open about sexual matters in America as opposed to Europe, this is one instance where this is evident. You are getting it at a normal time over here. I learned all the specifics about this stuff when I was 16-17, very general stuff at 13 or 14.
You can't blame everything on bush... only most of it
Heh, you guys (from US) learned it all a bit late. I know here it was ages 11-13 you would learn most of it, and then 14-15 would be a "second" sex ed.
Anyways... Bush sucked. Go talk to him about AIDS/STD's logi, he might know a lil somethin somethin.
I just realized my experience may have been different from someone who went to a public school instead of private catholic schools (like I did) after reading your post. oops...
And Clinton would be the one to talk to He knows all about STD's I'm sure.
So, as I seem to be the only one around here with medical training, I'll field the question. And for everyone who has posted but did not provide a answer or just made fun, shame on you. Having some one look for advise about sex, and the prevention of STD's is very important and should be encouraged.
That's not entirely accurate. You can get an STD from most forms of sexual contact, or sexual acts. Even when penetration does not have to occur.
Yes, this is true. But they would have to have the herpes virus on their mouth. I can tell you right now, it's VERY noticeable.
Thank you Shotglass, finally some one speaks some sense. And to add on, yes it can be transmitted by blood to blood contact, but the chances of getting AIDS are pretty low. AIDS is very weak, and can only last a few minutes outside of a human body.
Also true. Most cold sores and the like are a form of the herpes virus. I don't recommend giving or getting oral sex in the case, as it can cause some untoward effects.
I've read that indeed it can live in saliva, but it's pretty rare. Also the virus is again so weak that it does not last to long. Even 'french kissing' is considered safe.
You have a point. No one at that age should have an STD, or there is something very wrong and they should be referred to Child Protective Services.
That's called psychosomatic. (You think something is wrong, so your body produces what ever result you thought of.)
This is still a safe sex no, no. No swallowing boldly fluids. Bad!
Because EMT-CCs play LFS too ya know.
Kissing a girl is not risky.
Zing.
Not AIDS, unless your really unlucky, but herpes is possible.
oh dear
1) herpes type 1 is not an std
2) the std is type 2
3) chances are you already have type 1
considering how disgusting a cold sore looks and how disgusting you feel when you have one id say say with most people the girls wouldnt let you near their fannies with that on your face anyway and neither would you really want to
also while theres a high chance that you might aquire a different strain of type 1 from that contact the virus itself is still fairly well adapted to humans and thus (with the exception of rare cases) safe to live with if terribly annoying when youre part of the 10-20% that has to deal with it regularly
