Healthy Alternatives
Welcome to Healthy Alternatives for the Vegas
Beat.
Sex is fun, necessary, and risky. Alternative
or Kinky Sex, carried out without forethought and knowledge,
increase the risks involved, for everyone, incredibly.
The goal of this column is to create a safe
place to ask those really “dumb, embarrassing, stupid,
intelligent, scary, kinky, weird” questions you are not
really sure where else to ask.
Feel free to send me your questions about
alternative lifestyle heath issues, you can email your questions
privately by
clicking here,
or you can post your question in the Healthy Alternatives
Discussion area by
clicking here.
Contrary to popular belief, I don’t pretend
to know all the answers, and if I don't know the answer to
your particular question I will consult with experts in that
area to find an answer to your questions.
In future editions I will respond,
anonymously, to questions sent to me, or posted in our
discussion area, for the first edition I will just remind
you of some really common sense precautions to take while
playing, taught you by Moma before you even
went to Kindergarten.
Wash your hands,
wash your hands, wash your hands….when?
After using the toilet, before you eat,
before you start play, and when you end play, and any time
you happen to think it would be appropriate.
If it smells bad don’t put it in you mouth
– or other orifices (except asparagus of course)
Don’t eat someone else’s food
many benign germs and viruses can transfer from food and
beverages. Of course if the benign can transfer so can the
bad things
Flush Beside the
odor un-flushed body wastes are a source of infection. Stool
(or poop for those who don’t like fancy talk) can transmit
many diseases like giardiasis, and hepatitis for starters –
then you can talk about some serious poop.
Clean up your own mess
– “Red up”** to prevent falls, use viricidal, antibacterial
cleaner on play space and toys. If you toy gets someone
else’s blood on it really should be given to the person
bloodied by the device.
Things I would like to add for your
consideration this month
Sadly, oral sex counts as sex for
STD’s
Any disease found in the mouth can be
transferred to the genitals and any disease found in/on the
genitals can be transferred to the mouth.
Oral herpes can and does transfer
to the genital area and genital herpes can be transferred to
the mouth. Open cold sores during oral sex will likely give
the temporarily blissful receiver of the act genital herpes
in a few days.
Bad teeth and open mouth sores
allow syphilis, HIV and hepatitis a ready port for
transmission. And recent research shows many cases of heart
disease could be prevented with toothbrush use twice a day
Gonorrhea and Chlamydia grow just as well
in a warm dark throat or anus as in the vagina or urethra.
Human papiloma virus (HPV)
is rising as a source of throat and anal cancers. Remember
HPV is the leading cause of cervical cancer in women. Ask
you health provider if you are appropriate to receive one of
the HPV vaccines now available. The vaccine has recently
been approved for males. The cancer you prevent may be your
own.
**Red up – rural Pennsylvanian for clean
up – don’t ask, I don’t know the origin
As Sarge used to say in Hill Street
Blues “Lets be careful out there” and I would add wear your
rubbers in the rain and wash your hands.
Happy practicing
