You’re gonna need to learn to draw your firebending from a different source. I recommend the original source… For earthbending, the original benders were badgermoles.

You can still get STD's with condoms on

HPV Syphilis Herpes

Just incase you didn’t know because most don’t 🗣

This. This. This. Omfg this.

lol I made this post months ago Funny how since Usher and his herpes comes to the light that’s when Majority of y'all started caring 🤦🏾‍♀️

To add onto this…. info from someone who screens for STDs: 1. Condoms protect against fluid 2. Anything skin to skin can be contracted 3. A new form of Gonorhea has developed that is resistant to antibiotics 4. If you have unprotected sex and get BV or a yeast infection it is because your vaginal pH does not mix well with the pH of his semen 5. That means you can get HIV 6. MORE THAN HALF OF THE POPULATION HAS HERPES 7. Type 1 is usually oral (cold sores) Type 2 is genital 8. You can give someone genital herpes if you have a cold sore and give them head 9. You can give someone cold sores if have genital herpes and receive head 10. Herpes lies dormant for years sometimes so you could have gotten it 10 years ago and it just now pops up 11. Most screening sites will not test for it, unless asked, because it cause problems within a relationship 12. Untreated chlamidiya (👈🏽 I’m trying) can make you infertile

You gave the most informative add on thank you Idk wth everyone else is talking about

Reblogging this again for the “I hate condom dudes”

Two ways to protect yourself:

  • Get the vaccination for HPV. It’s not just for cis women! HPV is nasty and causes cancer.
  • Don’t be afraid to have a little light in the room to start out with, even if you later turn it off, to check things out with a new partner or hookup. Herpes is most contagious when there are blisters present.

Also, if you find out you have an STD, the etiquette is to tell all new partners until you’re cured or firmly undetectable and let all previous ones you may have infected know. 

Please don’t be afraid to get thoroughly tested! An STD isn’t the end of the world, especially if you catch and treat it early. 

More about HPV:

When people hear HPV, they think cervical cancer and genital warts. You can have HPV without visible warts. Also, if you are infected with HPV, times of increased stress and low immunity can cause warts and leisons to appear where there weren’t any.

Furthermore, we have screening tools for HPV and cervical cancer in women. It’s called a Pap smear. It’s not just some uncomfortable screening your provider does for funsies. Follow the recommendations and get your pap on time. Women ages 21-35 are at the greatest risk of HPV infection.

Additionally, GET THE HPV VACCINE whether you are a man or woman. Even if you are past the recommended age and you have had HPV before, you can protect yourself from infection from other strains. While the link between cervical cancer and HPV in women is well known, the people most likely to die of HPV infection are men. Throat and rectal-anal cancer from HPV infection is on the rise, and men(straight or gay or bi) are the most likely to be infected and go undetected, since there are little to no screening tools developed for men. It’s not just promiscuous people who get infected with HPV. Men in long-term committed relationships are contracting it through anal or oral sex with a partner who has been infected with HPV from previous sexual encounters. I can’t stress this enough: HPV IS FAR MORE DEADLY IN MEN SIMPLY BECAUSE IS VIRTUALLY NO SCREENING TOOL FOR IT. The best thing men can do is protect themselves before they contract it by getting the vaccine.

And finally: if you are a man and you notice and abnormal lump or knot or tingling or ANYTHING in your throat or your anal-genital region, do not hesitate getting that examined by a medical professional! As a medical professional, I can promise you it’s not nearly as embarrassing as you are making it out to be in your head. It is statistically proven that men are less likely to use primary care and preventive mecidince and screenings by a WIDE margin and therefore more likely to suffer fatal infections and cancers. Don’t be another statistic. Take care of yourself. Take HPV seriously, because it is. It can kill you and you’ll never see it coming.

I’ve reblogged this before but I’ll reblog it again because being safe during sex is important, not being careful COULD LITERALLY KILL YOU. This isn’t to scare people off sex. Sex is great, just be safe

I gotta give you credit for refusing to be another black female STD statistic. Good on you, good on your followers and thank you for preaching to these other girls and boys on here that there is NOTHING wrong with PROTECTING YOURSELF and listening to the voice in the back of you head thats trying to keep you safe. ~anaya

Always gotta think about your safety and well being before anything else.

I wanna go in on this. Ladies especially black women we need to stop trusting and putting our faith into these men. Trusting that they’re clean without the proper results. Stop depending on him to know his own body to pull out on time. Don’t put your health and future at risk. Seriously. I guarantee the minute you need to have a convo about you catching something from him or him knocking you up, nigga will run.

Aye. For real.

Don’t put your health at risk because he tryna blow yo back out. It’s not worth it. It’s better to get to shit blown when you know you’re safe and healthy. TRUST ME.

The conversation needs to be had whether you’re embarrassed or not, your body will be grateful you did. The risk is not worth it.

In 2019 we grow from sex positivity to sex responsibility, meaning we:

  • call out shitty people who are just abusers and using kink/polyamory to mask it and stop supporting them
  • recognize that sometimes hypersexuality can be a form a self-harm for some people
  • keep kinks and fetishes in appropriate spaces and not bringing them out into general public spaces and thereby involving people in scenes they aren’t consenting to 
  • understand that some fetishes are inherently unhealthy and some illegal to actually engage in for good reason and ignoring that is irresponsible at best
