Sexually transmitted diseases, or STDs, are illnesses transmitted through sexual contact between two people. In the past, the term to designate such illnesses was venereal disease, a name that comes from Greco-Roman mythology, more specifically correlated to the goddess of love Venus.
STDs include HIV (AIDS), syphilis, gonorrhea or blennorrhagia, herpes, candidiasis and trichomoniasis.
In the 80s, with the increase in HIV cases, large campaigns for safe sex and the use of condoms emerged. People complained about the lack of sensitivity in sexual intercourse when it was safe, but with the deaths of famous people like Cazuza and Freddie Mercury, in the early 90s, it was realized that the matter was no joke. Thus, condoms became an obligatory part of the sexual lives of gays (men) and straight couples.
The first time I went to a gynecologist I told her I was gay. The doctor's question was whether I had ever been sexually involved with women. I said yes. And again, she asked me if I had put a condom on my finger.
At first this seemed absurd to me.
– Condom, huh? Like this? This isn't for me, Doctor. What for?
I felt completely strange, I thought she hadn't understood me. I like women and not men!
My lovely doctor just told me one simple and eternal sentence:
- Yes girl! Condom! Few girls know what and how to use it. Lesbians do not imagine that they can contract several sexually transmitted diseases. It may be little publicized and the numbers are practically non-existent, but the complications they cause to the body are horrific.
Not just finger condoms. But also in oral sex, finger play (including anal sex), the use of a vibrator and even underwear. People's hands pick up various bacteria, especially between the nail and the flesh of the finger, even though the nails appear to always be well cut and trimmed.
You'll know, right? And you don't hurt anyone either. It's better to be safe than sorry.
Today I see that it's not just the condom that should be used and that's it, the whole problem is solved. Another piece of advice is that you should maintain good hygiene throughout your body. That old saying: Whoever loves, cares.
Safe sex between lesbians is practically a myth and creates discomfort in many relationships. Some people complain about the lack of eroticism using so many devices and thinking about so many possibilities of contamination. In this case, the best solution is to cling to creativity and let yourself be intoxicated by the moment.
And any changes in the body or genital organ, it is best to see a doctor as soon as possible.
