Take Care of Your Skin

If your skin is dry or has a recent wound, a break in your skin, even a very small one, becomes likelier. Sexual friction can be intense and relentless, so healthy skin will reduce the risk of transmitting disease through the skin.

Never use an oil-based moisturizer as a sexual lubricant. Oil will break down the latex in your condoms and expose you to unnecessary risks. Use a water-based lubricant instead.
