dont do promiscuity, and be loyal to ur partner (and make sure he/she also loyal to u too la), that's already can reduce a lot of risk of getting STD's,.... the best thing from my opinion is 'avoid pre-marital sex' and choose ur spouse-to-be carefully, check background of her/him before deciding for marriage

Couldn't agree more. And do HIV test before your marriage just to be sure. You never know. These days, anything can happen.

wat a life~~

It's like that in today's world. With most people engaging in free sex you can hardly trust anyone. Unless a school girlfriend that has been with you since primary.

People used to be conscious of their every actions and they want to keep themselve healthy and disease-free for their own sake as well as for the sake of their spouse-to-be but in today's world, this awareness and consciousness seems to be so low in the majority and with many of them having pre-marital sex, all the more we should be alert for the sake of our own future and our own life.
Merry Christmas Y'all!

Merry Christmas

It becomes trend among youths nowadays to engage in pre-marital sex and having sex without proper protection. Most of youths does not know much about sexual transmitted disease as we are lacking of sex educational program and most of our parents think that their kids only will engage in sexual activity after marriage. While things have changed now, it should be made that sexual education to be done and the awareness to be increase.

I read in the newspaper that there are already plans to include road safety syllabus into the education system with the purpose of instilling road safety values at an early age. I'm glad that they are taking the initiative to try and tackle road accidents throuugh education system and I think sexual education should receive similar attention and recognition from the respective authorities managing the education system. Unfortunately the majority will only react instead of responding to the addition of sexual education as there is some serious negative view in the atmosphere concerning teaching children at a young age about sexual awareness. As Skymxe mentioned, many parents has a traditional fixed of mindset that their children will only engage in intercourse after marriage and should their children be discovered to be a STD victim, it will be like all hell break loose and it is only then will they start to ponder on the option of teaching their children about the sex and its impact. Its time we start to be proactive in this issue rather than being a reactive one.

P/S: Hows your presents coming along la. Skymyxe? Hope you are getting what you wished for!

Couldn't agree more. It has become a nation issue when to many STD cases have been reported. Nowadays, it's not only the teenagers engage in this kinda activity but the children age below 10 has also dare to try exploring their body parts with different sex. All I can say IMHO is maybe there's too much exposure, but with a proper precaution and education, this could be avoided from happening. The need to educate more people to understand is important. It's not just of the danger but the real meaning of sex, the needs the impact an so on. I do hope in the future, better consideration and implementation of a proper sex education would be done. No one is hoping to get an STD and it's even cruel if you bound to know at the verge of your marriage that your partner has it just because of lack in education and knowledge bout the whole sex thing.

Thanx spartacvs, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all LYN members.

There's no meaning in sex, only plumbing involved.

Just implement the Sex Ed class, distribute free condoms and get over this psycho-babble once and for all.

well about the loyality
in today society i dont think 1 person only will have 1 sex partner in their lifetime =.=

Can tell me more about AIDS?? same with STD??? not very clear ...
anyway thank you, I have heard about STD many time and duno what exaxtly about that, at least now I know What it is about..

Some STD are just skin disease. Most people don't even know they have STD until they go for blood test. There might be infection when your immune system is weak but it will go away after 1-2 weeks. The disease is infectious during this time. Condom is useless if you have open lesion or wound on area not covered by the rubber. The other person cant get it if her skin is intact.

If you have STD the only risk will be when you wanna get married and have kids. You may "accidentally" infect your HM or children. Actually STD causes mental torture rather then physical pain just because it's considered being sexually transmitted.

Only the ones that stays virgin till they're married will have 1 sex partner in their life. I assume they're loyal to they're life partner.

Go single and don't marry. Live life to the fullest and have multiple sex partner. Is that OK?

AIDS is a subset of STD. STD is just an overall term to mean diseases that can be transmitted sexually. Examples of common STD are AIDS, Hepatitis B, infections due to chlamydia & N. gonorrhoea and syphilis.

Nowadays, they tend to be termed STI - Sexually transmitted infections.

And those usually happens or transmitted to people who have multiple sex partners. Without knowing their sexual history and background, you can easily be infected by the disease.

Well said. However mind to share how to make sure our partner is loyal to us? Nowadays many people are involved in pre-marital sex, and it is hard to have your spouse who is a virgin.

My problem:
There are a few white dotes in my penis there. I first discover it was 3 years ago. The amount of white dotes keep on increasing. I don't have sex before and I don't experience any uneasiness in my daily life. I still live my life as usual since I discovered it 3 years ago. Is there any STD there is similar to my condition here?

You've to ask and really get to know who your partner is. Get to know his/her sexual history coz it'll be affecting you too when you're married. It is important as you do not want to marry someone with STD and live the rest of your life having the infections cause by someone else's.

As for your sickness, if you haven't engage in any sexual activity, It is almost impossible to get an STD. So, my advice is still to consult a doctor and let he/she diagnose your illness.

bro,
i am worried on your behalf caused you said "the amount of white dots keep on increasing" don't let it become worse. Go to consult a doctor and ask for medication cause i believe that symptom is not normal..

I'll kill myself if i'm having HIV.Its sufferring
