What is Sex?

Are you Ready?

Safety First: Are We Protected?

Pregnancy and disease can be two very serious consequences of being sexually active.

It's very important to use condoms, dental dams, even latex gloves, etc. to protect you and your partner from disease.

Even if you think you're both "clean", there are lots of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that don't show symptoms, and you may not even know you have one - so don't just rely on how well you and your partner know each other!

As for preventing pregnancy, there are lots of options. See the section on contraception for more information.

Sexual health is a huge part of your overall well-being.
