The below video promotes condoms as the answer –
which is partially (but not wholly) true
for avoiding STD’s and STIs.
(Review “Safe Sex” Teaching)
So, if you are going to do it –
“PROTECT YOURSELF.”
But
according to what God has said about sex within scripture,
your body belongs to you and your wife and nobody else
and
that is a 100% guarantee for Safe Sex!

– Takes 3-5 days (up to 30 days) before a guy will notice symptoms in his penis.
– Ejaculation is not needed to catch it or pass it.
– 80% of women have no symptoms at all even though they are infected, therefore they may not know that they are giving you the same disease.
