Playing safe on holiday

When I talk about safe sex on holiday I’m not talking about a shag behind the closed doors of your chalet rather than the public beach! 

It is possibly one of the most important decisions you will make in your life (although it won’t of course feel like this)...

...In fact its one of the last things on your mind after a few drinks, a dance, and lots of raging hormones.

Don’t believe all the rubbish people tell you that its harder for men to catch STIs than women.  Unfortunately it’s a sexual lottery out there with a range of nasty infections that could literally leave you scratching, peeling and worse.

The last thing you are protecting yourself from on holiday is getting pregnant!  Its all the nasties that some people carry around them.  Ask yourself, ‘if they were an easy pull and very forthcoming sexually then how many other people have they been with in a similar situation?’

The most effective way of securing yourself from harm is insist on a condom.  Take a load with you (if you’re confident) and make sure they are always with you.

Other forms of contraceptive just aren’t worth bothering with because all they do is reduce the risk of pregnancy rather than the spread of STDs.

I recommend you look for yourself and click here to find out a little more about what nasties are out there.
