Thanks to The Big Up for the information that is given below, as it was the only publication that I have gained so far that has a section such as this...

Oral Hygene

For safer oral activity it is important that you maintain your mouth. Going to your dentist on a regular basis, brushing your teeth at least twice a day (but watch out for bleeding gums) and a mouth wash can all help you keep you smile (for attraction) and mouth (for working with the attracted).

It also prevents tooth decay, gum disease, cuts or cold sores which will in turn stop you from having bleeding gums which is a route HIV can get into your system if you engage in oral sex...

The flip side is not to brush your teeth just before going down on someone, as that could create new cuts or abrasions that might put you at risk, if you do want to freshen up before hand - Use a mouth wash!

 

Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me...

Well, wouldn't that be what you would say should you not maintain your "privates"?

There is nothing closer to being associated with sexual activity than these areas... So surely you should take good care of them? Shouldn't you?

For a guy who is not circumcised, then Smegma, the affectionatly know "cock cheese", is something that can REALLY get a hot date colder than your freezer. It is not something that is wrong or indicative something wrong - It just is, and there is not much you can do stopping it, but what you can do, is stop it building up. After all it smells bad, tastes bad and can lead to other nasties should you not maintain your cleanliness. It's an easy case of pull back the foreskin and wash it, don't attack it with anything special, just your shower gel, or even water will do - Just don't let it build up.

Oh and ladies - Smegma is something that can affect you too, so it is not something only men can get - So don't ignore her down there either - Give her a wash through, baths being the best way, but a shower will work too!

Handling your tackle gives an excellent opportunity to check for any lumps and bumps, and stuff, that generally shouldnt be there... Like watching out for Testicular Cancer... Follow the link to find more information.

 

Check Your Six

Your bum - Love it, hate it, too big, too small, perky or saggy it is another area that is synonymous with Men who have sex with Men. Something to treat with respect and especially keep it clean being what it is. Keep an eye out for something wrong, but if something does go wrong, go to your clinic or doctor and get it checked out - In the main things that can go wrong are piles, or little tears - Something to watch out for with HIV, but in itself not too much to worry about as they quickly heal...

So don't treat em too mean, and keep 'em clean...

 

Whats Your Poison?

At some point in our lives you out there will run into drugs or alcohol and consume them.

Which is fine in itself, but there is using, but then there is abusing drugs and alcohol, which can lead very rapidly, and very dangerously into doing yourself damage.

Alcohol and drugs can get in the way of your common sense, and impair what you should be thinking for something entirely different - Safer sex for instance...

Ever been tempted to just "fuck it" and go on regardless of your best judgement cos you are having a good time? Well, that is something that being under the influence can help you do. A potentially dangerous choice. It may be good at the time, but watch out and think twice, remember the consequences of your actions. Even if you are with you long term partner, there are a lot more nasties out there than just HIV... Hepatitus, crabs etc. etc. Which you can find out more about on the next section!
