Unprotected Sex

Unprotected sex refers to sexual activity without the use of methods like condoms, dental dams, or other barriers to reduce the risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or unintended pregnancy. While it can enhance intimacy for some, it increases the chance of exposure to infections such as HIV, gonorrhea, or chlamydia, and poses a risk of pregnancy. Using protection is a recommended practice to lower these risks, promote sexual health, and ensure informed choices during intimacy. It's important to discuss protection options with your partner and healthcare provider for safe and healthy sexual practices.
