Salud sexual

Sex is part of human nature, but protecting yourself during sex is all too often overlooked in the heat of the moment. Why would anyone want to ruin the fun by worrying about ITS or an unplanned pregnancy? Although some may not think it to be important, 200,000 people in the UK a year test positive for clamidia, with verrugas genitales, herpes y gonorrea also common. We're not saying don’t have sex, we’re just suggesting that you do it safely.
