Use Condoms
It has been known for decades that condoms, when consistently and correctly used, help to prevent the transmission of many STIs (Reece et al., 2010b). The condom, one of the great underrated aids to sexual interaction, is the only current contraceptive method (other than abstinence) that protects against pregnancy and most STIs (Reece et al., […]
‘The Branch on Which We Sit’: Multiculturalism, Minority Women and Family Law
Maleiha Malik Feminism’s outstanding contribution as an ideology and a political movement has been its insistence that theory and practice are intimately connected. Theory matters: not only because it can influence the way women are treated but also — and crucially — because it can influence women’s self-understanding.

Their sexual desires may get in the way of forming relationships, may get them into legal trouble, or may become such a […]
Obtain Prior Medical Examinations
Even when people are entirely candid about their own sexual histories, there is no way to ensure that their previous sexual partners were honest with them—or, for that matter, that they even asked previous partners about STI risk status. In view of these concerns, we strongly encourage couples who want to begin a sexual relationship […]
Other Paraphilias
People can be sexually attracted to almost anything. An article in the Journal of Forensic Sciences tells of a man who was erotically attracted to his tractor; he wrote poetry to it, he had a pet name for it, and his body was found after he was asphyxiated by suspending himself by the ankles from […]

Assess Your Risk Status and Your Partner’s Risk Status
As a result of informed concern about acquiring an STI, you may understandably focus on assessing the risk status of a prospective sexual partner. However, in doing so, you may overlook the equally important need to evaluate your own risk status. If you previously engaged in sexual activity with others, is there any possibility that […]
