JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED
The term safe sex can have several implications and connotations associated to it. Primarily, safe sex involves the avoidance of bodily fluids between sexual partners to avoid the transmission of Sexually Transmitted Infections. Safe sex can further include the use of lubricants to avoid condom breakage and sexual health, avoiding unsafe materials in sex toys and ensuring sexual aides are kept clean to prevent infection.
It is important for all people to receive safe sex information, and it is especially important for people with disabilities to receive adequate sexual health info. Owing to the fact that people with disabilities are often thought to be sexless, they often don’t receive the same level of information as to other individuals if they receive any information at all. Numerous organisations are actively engaged in raising this awareness so that vulnerable members of the community can learn to protect themselves from unsafe sexual practices.
STD'S/STI's
No one really talks about it, but sexually transmissible infections (STIs) are really common among young people in Australia. Anyone who is sexually active runs the risk of getting an STI – that's just reality. The good news is, if you use a condom when you have sex you can massively reduce the risk of an STI.
