can't believe im doing this but i realize there are too many teenagers on twitter suddenly and... just stay safe kids. (i'm trying to keep this as gender and sexuality-inclusive as possible, but if i miss out, please contribute)
SAFE SEX; a thread.

enthusiatic, ongoing consent is important. ask questions. is this okay? can i? may i? does this feel good? tell me what you want me to do? it's honestly hotter, if nothing else. sex well within boundaries is so wholesome so fulfilling.

personal hygiene: wash your genitals, take a good bath (every day regardless of how active u r sexually). please DONT wash your vagina with soap and DONT try douching. or use deodorants or perfumes on your genitals. get checked for STDs every 6-8 months if you're active.

if you have a rash/blister/anything not normal, around your genitals or in your mouth, DON'T ENGAGE IN INTERCOURSE. if your partner is shady about using protection, DON'T ENGAGE IN INTERCOURSE. if anything is making you uncomfortable, DON'T ENGAGE IN INTERCOURSE.

oral sex needs protection too. use a condom for a blowjob, the smell of latex is a little off putting so use a flavoured one instead (but i wouldnt recommend flavoured condoms for penetration, it's fine but if possible use a regular one). PLEASE USE A CONDOM FOR BLOWJOBS...

unless you're 100% sure of your partner's hygiene. but like still, use it. and as for eating out, use a condom to make a mouth guard. you can find a youtube tutorial it's pretty simple. Do. Not. Have. Unprotected. Oral. Sex. PLEASE.

safe sex while penetration is pretty clear, not going too much into those details. if you're using a sex toy to penetrate your partner, please clean it and use a condom over it too. if you're using lubrication make sure it's safe and try not to use coconut oil, it dissolves latex

even on your fingers, wear a fucking condom. penetration = condom. SIMPLE. and if you're scissoring, use a condom (in the way you'd use it for a mouth guard). Anal sex too needs protection even if it's not getting u preggs. all the same cautions.

please go and take a piss after sex. talk about the experience with your partner. DO NOT DOUCH YOUR VAGINA IT'S NOT GOOD FOR YOU NEVER DOUCH. and just, stay safe have fun, don't be an asshole. <3 bye

also also, sex isnt about penetration. it's a shared experience between two people, it can mean whatever you mutually decide it to be. virginity is a myth and porn is very hard to replicate.

okay addition, i was a bit lenient about using flavoured condoms for penetration; DON'T. they unbalance the vaginal pH, not good.
