While it is fun to do, there are certain restrictions you need to be aware of​

Sexual intercourse has lots of restrictions and one needs to understand them completely before indulging in it.

Risky sex or risky sexual activities can lead up to unwanted pregnancies, and sexually transmitted diseases if one does not follow the right way to do it.

In this article we will discuss several risk sexual behaviors one needs to be careful about:
2/6

​Multiple sex partners​


Having multiple sex partners might be pleasurable but is a very unhealthy practice as it makes the person susceptible to several complications.

The sad part about this is that many such complications do not show symptoms or even when they show they are so remotely associated with the disease that the individual does not detect them easily.

​THESE yoga poses can improve your sex life​

3/6

​Anal sex​


Anal sex is the sexual activity which involves the anus of an individual and is different from the traditional form of sexual intercourse.

Mostly people use fingers and sex toys for penetration.

Anal sex gives a higher risk of sexually transmitted diseases than other forms of sex.

4/6

​Oral sex​


A recent report had shed light on the adverse effect of oral sex on the health of an individual. The report said that people who engage in oral sex have a higher risk of getting oral cancer.

The main cause of throat cancer is human papillomavirus which is sexually transmitted.

Oral cancer is also a risk factor for those who have multiple partners.

5/6

​Having sex under drug influence​


Mostly seen in youngsters, this experimental sex pattern impairs a person's decision making ability.

In this the partners are not aware of the risky sex practices due to being under the influence of drugs.

6/6

​Not using condom​


The discussion around risky sexual practices will not be complete if we do not talk about condoms.

Health experts advise using condoms during sexual acts. This prevents pregnancy and also cuts down the risk of getting sexually transmitted infections.
