So here is our guide to the different types of sex and the best ways to perform it safely. If it is something you are interesting in bringing into your bedroom then this will be very helpful for you as it contains both the best ways to enjoy these forms of sex and gives you all of the knowledge you will need when you talk to your partner about it.
The first type of sex we are going to discuss is anal sex. Anal sex is considered to be a high risk sexual activity for a number of reasons. During anal sex it is much easier for bacteria and viruses to enter the system than other types of sex. This is especially true if you are the receiving partner of anal sex. The inside of the anus is very thin and that means that it is very easy for any viruses or infections to pass through it and get directly into the bloodstream. All sorts of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can be present both in semen and on the inside of the anus, so protecting yourself is completely vital. Remember that you should always use a condom and that you should change condoms when switching between vaginal, anal and oral sex.
Another type of sex to look at is group sex. Group sex involves three or more people having sexual intercourse together and it comes with a huge number of other risks and potential problems. You should be sure to limit the group sizes to as small as possible to ensure that the risks are minimised. But even still it is key to remember that this is risky business, both physically and emotionally. Talk through ground rules and ensure that everything who is having sex knows what the limits are.
Finally let’s look at oral sex, which brings in a number of complications of its own. Oral sex is one of the most common kinds of sex that is performed unprotected. This is due to the fact that there is no risk of pregnancy. Nevertheless, performing unprotected oral sex puts you at a much greater risk of infections and viruses. Be sure to use a condom or dental dam if you are going to have oral sex as this ensures you are protected from STIs.
