HOMOSEXUALITY

Whether snuggling up in a cosy conservatory or frolicking on a sunbathed meadow: sex is fun whatever the season. Regardless of when and where it happens, you should take care that the "Garden of Desire" does not turn into a swampy quagmire is that not saying the same thing twice? Here you will find some advice from our Garden Team.

It is a fact that both partners run the risk of infection if they have unprotected sex even though HIV can be transmitted more easily from the active to the passive partner. And, my friends, you’re wrong in thinking that pulling out before ejaculation is a form of protection! Condoms protect! A word of advice to the greenhorns: before using condoms practice putting them on a carrot, a banana, a cucumber (according to size and form) or simply on yourself – that is the best way of preventing accidents! And in order not to dig yourself into a hole use water-based lubricants to avoid injuries or tears in condoms. 

Things are slightly different when it comes to oral sex: as long as there is no blood involved you can let off steam without a raincoat. There is just one rule: pull out before ejaculating. However, should sperm happen to enter the mouth do not swallow it under any circumstances and rinse your mouth out thoroughly, preferably with alcohol.
 
Those who want to play it safe should also use condoms. The range of flavors is sweeping. As for all the strange fruits that blossom and thrive in the "Garden of Desire" – foxgloves, rosebuds, golden rain!

Fingering, fisting, the use of sex toys, watersports, SM, rimming or other practices – they are not known to transmit the virus. However, one of the most important rules is: blood or sperm must not come into contact with the mucous membrane lining the anal tract or the mouth. Remember: Cut your nails before you start fingering or fisting and use latex-gloves. If you are into (hardcore) SM make sure you watch out for signs of blood – use sex toys with one partner only and if you change partners, clean them thoroughly.

In closing here’s the good news: kissing, caressing, petting, massages, embracing... are all completely risk-free. And yes, that can also be fun!
