I just thought I would bring up an important subject regarding people who have unprotected sex...
I don't think some people do actually realise if you have unprotected sex with one person then meet an another person and have oral you could be passing infections or diseases on...
Unsafe sex – also known as unprotected sex or high-risk sex – refers to sexual activities during which bodily fluids are exchanged between the two (or more) sexual partners. The bodily fluids in question here refer to semen, pre-ejaculation fluid , vaginal fluid and blood.
Most people have the misconception that unsafe sex refers only to vaginal and anal intercourse without the use of condoms. Actually, there are risks of getting sexually-transmitted infections (STI) during unprotected oral sex as well, regardless whether the person is giving or receiving it. In addition, although early withdrawal of the sexual organ prior to ejaculation is practiced by some as a form of contraceptive measure, it is definitely not a form of safer sex.
The various STIs that can be transmitted through unsafe sexual practices are listed below.
Unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse:
* Chancroid
* Chlamydia
* Genital herpes
* Genital warts
* Gonorrhoea
* Hepatitis B
* HIV
* Molluscum contagiosum
* NGU
* Pubic lice
* Scabies
* Syphilis
* Vaginal candidiasis
Unprotected oral sex:
* Genital herpes
* Genital warts
* Gonorrhoea
* Hepatitis A
* HIV
* NGU
* Syphilis

------ just a little note on a few of the diseases/infections-------
Syphilis
This is a treatable disease that has three different phases to it, all of which are recognizable. The first stage is shown with a sore, the second phase may be represented with hair loss, fevers or skin rash but some people show none of these flu-like symptoms. The third stage is called latency. In latency, there is no signs but it is here that the disease affects the heart, brain, and liver. Syphilis is transmitted from one person to another during any kind of sexual activity: vaginal intercourse, anal or oral sex. it is important that syphilis be treated because if it is not treated, it can cause blindness, paralysis and heart problems.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
This disease affects women and is most common among girls between 15 and 25 years of age. Usually, it is spread through chlamydia and gonorrhea, two other sexually transmitted diseases. It causes damage by affecting the reproductive systems in the female’s body. Some of the symptoms of this diseases include
* Pain during sex
* Abdominal pain
* Fever
* Chills
* Bleeding between menstrual cycles
If PID is not treated it can lead to infertility, inflammation of the cervix, tubal pregnancy, and chronic pelvic pain.
Gonorrhea
This is a very painful, but treatable disease that can be spread through vaginal intercourse, anal or oral sex. There does not have to be complete penetration in order to contract this disease. It affects both men and women and can be spread from mother to newborn child. The disease affects the genital areas of the body, as well as the conjunction of the eye. It can be difficult to tell whether you have gonorrhea or not, especially since most women who contract the disease have no symptoms. Some of the symptoms for men, however, are:
* Discharge from genitals
* Pain when urinating
If a woman experiences:
* Vaginal bleeding
* Pain during sex
Then it may be an indication that she has contracted the disease. There are several different types of medication for this disease. If it is left untreated, then it can cause
* Infertility in women/sterility in men
* The narrowing or closing of the urethra
* Miscarriage in women
* Inflammation of the lining after child birth
* Severe menstrual pain
* Inflammation of the bladder
Genital warts
Genital warts may be small, flat, flesh-colored bumps or tiny, cauliflower-like bumps. In men, genital warts can grow on the penis, near the anus, or between the penis and the scrotum. In women, genital warts may grow on the vulva and perineal area, in the vagina and on the cervix. Genital warts vary in size and may even be so small that you can't see them. They can lead to cancer of the cervix in women or cancer of the penis in men.
These diseases are, again, only a small selection of the sexually transmitted diseases that can and are spread throughout the world.
