This valentine, here are few tips on SAFE SEX to ensure it doesn't end in tears.

We know plans are being made to have a great day with your loved one in different ways, forms and manners, while we plan to have fun we must ensure personal safety for ourselves and our loved ones. Safe sex ensures that we do not end up with unwanted illnesses and headaches through sexual contact.

Tip 1: Withdrawal method might fail you (It works 78 times out of 100, meaning 22 out of those who end up pregnant, condom offers over 98% coverage, make of that what you will)

Tip 2: Beecham Ampiclox and Lime are not contraceptives and if you use them and don't end up pregnant, you were just plain lucky.

Tip 3: Plan ahead for emergency contraception e.g Postinor. They work if taken within 72 hours of the sexual exposure and if the lady has not ovulated yet.

Tip 4: Understand your ovulation and menstrual cycle to be sure of when you might ovulate, if you think you might have ovulated, use a condom, there are male and female condoms available

Tip 5: Ensure you are faithful to one partner, ensure your partners are tested and clean and if in doubt use protection, pregnancies are the least of your worries, HIV, Hepatitis and other sexually transmitted infections will give your worse headaches than pregnancies.

Tip 6: Do not shave a day before you planned match, ensure you shave days before so that whatever wounds or cuts you have would have healed sufficiently, those cuts could be entry routes for possible STIs even if you use a condom.

Tip 7: Even if its just the tip, let that tip be covered with a condom.

We wish you a wonderful valentine. Cheers
