How far is too far? - How far can I go without getting pregnant or an STD?

Not far...
  • You can get an STD just by "fooling around" or hooking up with someone.
  • You can catch or spread some STDs by any skin-to-skin contact, including:
    • genital to genital contact,
    • mouth to genital contact and, even
    • hand to genital contact.
  • You may be talked into going further than you want to - possibly even finding yourself in an unwanted pregnancy situation.
  • You have the right to say NO at any point with someone else. But it's easier to say NO when you've made up your mind on how far you'll go.
The safest sex is no sex. Abstinence (or waiting) is the only 100% way to protect yourself from STDs and an unwanted pregnancy.
