Questions about sexual health! mature answers needed!!!?
issue 1- make sure that your hands are clean, clipping your nails wouldn't be a bad idea (but file them too so there's no sharp edges) and yes it's safe (it's highly unlikely that it's not). its unlikely that you'll contract HPV or anything else if your hands are clean. besides HPV is an STI so unless you have sexual contact with someone that has it, you won't get it. it may hurt a little, mainly discomfort for a while.issue 2- gaining weight is only a side effect of birth control that not everyone experiences. you may or may not gain weight, get bigger boobs,etc. it depends on how your body reacts to the hormones in the pill. there's nothing wrong with being on the pill or not, it's a personal choice.issue 3: condom's say that they are at least 90% effective when used properly. however, they do fail every once in a while due to holes (that the factory missed), improper use (causing it to break), and age (old condoms don't work as well). however, it's best to use another form of birth control with condoms (like the pill, spermicide, etc).good luck with everything. 2 years ago 2 people rated this as good thanks
