The things we can't say: 7 ways to great sex

1.

Protect Yourself. If you are not in a long-term
relationship with this person, and/or do not know his/her sexual
history, use a condom! I know you think this is Luther - no one
here has AIDS or gonorrhea. You don't actually know that. Besides,
chlamydia is real and not uncommon in this
area.


If you are in a long-term relationship, the risk of pregnancy
might be more than you think. The pill does provide less than a 1
percent chance of becoming pregnant - IF USED PERFECTLY. How many
women out there actually use it perfectly? The typical failure rate
is 5 percent per year. Do the math - if you have sex 20
times relying only on the pill,
you aren't completely unlikely to get pregnant.

Scary, I
know.
2. Think ahead. Are you going to regret this tomorrow? 15
minutes from now? If you are - don't do it.

It probably isn't worth
it, no matter how great the sex is.
3. Don't be drunk. The chances of regret are much higher,
and if you don't remember it anyway, what is the point? Especially
since you might not remember if you used protection.


4. Know yourself. Guys, most of you have this down. You
know exactly what you like.

Girls, maybe you could learn something
from the guys. Don't consider it masturbation; consider it
research.
5. Be vocal.

This is actually just an extension of rule
of 4. Once you know what you like don't be afraid to tell the other
person - constructively. It can be very reassuring to the other
person, and if you say it right, even a turn on. Just don't bark
commands like a drill sergeant.


6. Know his/her intentions. Not only should you make sure
that he/she wants something more than sex if you do; if you don't
want more than sex make sure he/she doesn't either.
7.

Lubricate. Most lubrication that comes on condoms
isn't enough. The condom is much less likely to break with a little
extra water-based lubricant. I have known girls who say that sex
without extra lubricant is painful for them.

Everyone's bodies work
differently. As my friend Rachel says "when you've tried every
position, go back and try everyone of them again with KY - it's a
whole new experience."
