Ewww that word sex has really turned this world into one crazy place...we all know it's nice Making out,the feelings, emotions and relief that comes after it is all done,one good cum can make you feel like you're in heaven,yes that is as sweet as it gets but it also has some really bad sides when you're having it before being married.

It's really ok to have sex when you're married and you know you're responsible and ready for anything that comes out of it but when you're unmarried and having it, somethings that comes out of it can really break you rather than make you it you're not strong enough and we are going to talk about those things in this post,I know it would be long but do hold on and read and let these things sink in.

Most people that engage in premarital sex usually engage in unsafe sex which exposes them to dangers like STIs,STDs and even unwanted pregnancy.

STI/STD

What are STIs?

STI is an abbreviation for sexually transmitted infections.

These are infections transmitted through sexual intercourse from one person to the other,it can be as a result of a virus, bacteria or parasites that was passed during the sex.

The list can go on for a long time if we were to list all of them but I'll list a few and talk about them.

1.Human papillomavirus (HPV)

This is an infection that causes warts in various parts of the body, depending on the strain.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) with more than 1.5 million cases per year (Nigeria)

It has so many strains,some types preventable by vaccine,some can be treated, but this condition can't be cured and it can last for years or be lifelong.

Medical diagnosis and laboratory testing is required for its confirmation.

How it spreads

We all know it's a sexually transmitted disease so it can spread by having unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex.

It can also spread from mother to baby by pregnancy, labor, or nursing.

Symptoms

Symptoms are not always seen in infected people,they may look well and still be able to transfer the virus to others through sexual activities but the most common symptom is usually a wart on the genitals or surrounding area.

2.Genital herpes

A common sexually transmitted infection marked by genital pain and sores.

Caused by the herpes simplex virus, the disease can affect both men and women.it is very common with more than 1.5 million cases per year in Nigeria.

5.HIV/AIDS

HIV causes AIDS and interferes with the body's ability to fight infections.

The virus can be transmitted through contact with infected blood, semen or vaginal fluids.

Then, there are no symptoms until the final stage which may occur years later. This final stage can result in damage to the brain, nerves, eyes or heart.

You can see how dangerous STIs could be,so why not abstain from premarital sex and remove the fear of contracting these infections?

UNWANTED PREGNANCY

This is not a new case to all of us and as we know, it's the ladies that's always the victim of this.

After engaging in premarital affairs, most especially unsafe sex,I don't even know why I call it unsafe because even when using protection for sexual intercourse you're unsafe...you want to know why?

Ok the condom is made of rubber and most rubber as we know expand and stretch,yes they do if you didn't know this before.

And when they stretch, there's tiny little holes which the semen can escape through...I once worked at a laboratory and had to confirm this by viewing condoms under the microscope and I was shocked to see holes without even stretching it.

So if you're thinking you're safe without using condoms,think again.

So when you have unsafe sex like people call it, you're in dangers of getting pregnant as a lady and not for the first time,you sexual partner could deny the pregnancy and that would put you in a whole lot of dilemma, you'll be confused,feel rejected,the father of your baby isn't taking responsibilities and sometimes your family can abandon you and that brings you to a very stressful and "not prayed" for life.

So instead of facing these dangers and protecting your self against them while having premarital sex,why not just abstain from it and have nothing to worry about? You won't hear HIV and your heart will start pounding or miss a period and start asking all the unanswered questions.

Stay safe and abstain from premarital sex
