Sex can be so pleasurable, exciting, and worth longing for. But before you engage in it, ask yourself, “If this sexual episode will be published in the newspapers tomorrow, will I be proud and happy? Or maybe sorry and sad?” Remember, every sexual act is a new and different scenario. You might be doing safe sex for five years, but one ordinary “not so safe orgasmic encounter” might change everything.

Unsafe sex is anything that will place an individual at RISK, may it be your health due to STD, your reputation, your relationship, and your sanity (for most). But these are just immediate effects. It can be cured by antibiotics, gossip mongering will have a natural death, new love can be found, and temporary insanity will cease. But really, the longstanding aftermath is depression, and the permanent change that will transpire in your personhood. It would be very difficult to repair tarnished self-esteem. Instead of laddering up with your career, it will thwart growth a little bit since you will spend your time recuperating from a disaster. One got pregnant, her lover left her, and her husband filed for a divorce. Instead of shopping for your favorite perfume, there you are in the drugstore asking for a better pill for your infection. Life itself is already complicated, and you don’t need another BS, just because you had one risky sex.
During my younger years, I did risky sex anywhere that’s dark, as long as I am drunk. The next morning, I felt proud and excited to tell my friends about my last night’s adventure. It was fun but careless. Don’t follow my lead ladies and gents! Yes, dirty, wild sex is euphoric, but responsible sex is more worth it.
As a responsible woman, before doing it, STOP and THINK. Not too obvious though that might ruin the moment. You might also want learn diplomacy skills in communicating to your partner that “YOU CAN’T DO IT RIGHT NOW” cause it’s unsafe. You have to make them realize that you are not rejecting the person, but the act itself can be done in a more responsible way.

I think that the younger generation should grow to realize that there are a lot of other ways of "doing it" without intercourse.
