Is A Rubber Needed?
Question: I am together and married to the same partner for over 15 years. We are monogamous and do not fool around with other people. She as well as I is fixed.
We encounter in all kinds of sexual activity and experience new ones every time. Neither one of us is sick, ill or has any disease. My question is "Do we really need to wear a rubber?" I have never worn a rubber since I met her, but with all that you hear about species, during anal sex, or what you eat, can that be true or what are the consequences.
Answer: If you are in a monogamous relationship and both of you have been tested for STDs and HIV and are not positive, then you should be ok. The main concern is for committed couples who do not know their STD or HIV status and those who have anal sex.
If one party is infected with HIV and if HIV-contaminated semen comes in contact with blood (vaginally or anally), the receiving partner is at considerable risk of becoming infected. Unless you're confident that your lover is HIV-negative and free of other sexually transmitted infections, all sex should be safe sex with condoms. But safe sex is especially important during anal play because it's more likely than other sexual activities to result in semen-blood contact.
