6 Good Ways to Avoid Any Unwanted Sexual Infections

Emily Morse, the founder and host of the Sex With Emily podcast, told popsugar.com, “Go for the triple play when it comes to preventing infection: wash up, wrap up, and flush out.”

The doctor of human sexuality continued, “First, before any touching starts, make sure both you and your partner have clean hands — especially under the nails. Next, use a condom, for obvious reasons. Finally, make sure to pee before AND after penetration to ward off UTIs. Of course, you can also suggest some shower sex to maximize cleanliness.”

Psychologist and sex expert Antonia Hall added important tips that everyone can do to help avoid unwanted infections from sexual activity:

• Wash Your Hands Prior to Getting Intimate
• Pee Before and After
• Don’t Do Anything Else After Anal Without Cleaning Up First
• Avoid Oral Sex With Unfamiliar Partners
• Wear a Condom During Sex
• Wash Up After Sex (and clean your sex toys right away)
