Different Forms of Sex

Sex with one or more partners:
- VAGINAL SEX (penis-in-vagina intercourse)
  - Condom
    - See other forms of birth control/STI protection
  - Anti-Pregnancy Measures (See Contraceptives)
- ORAL SEX (mouth-to-genital contact)
  - Dental Dam (for vaginal use)
  - Condom (for penile use)
- ANAL SEX (penis-in-anus intercourse)
  - Condom
  - Anti STI Measure (See Sexually Transmitted Infections)
- FINGERING / HANDJOBS (hand-to-genital contact)
With no partners:
- MASTURBATION
  - Touching yourself for sexual pleasure
  - There is a lot of stigma around masturbations, but it is important to remember that this is completely normal, most people do it, and the stigmas/myths surrounding it are not true
- With or without partners:
  - DRY HUMPING
    - Rubbing genitals together either with clothing on or off
  - SEX TOYS
    - Use lube
    - Clean before and after use

General Tip: Always Use Lube!

What kind of lube should you use and when?
- Water Based
  - With latex & non-latex condoms
  - Easy to wash off
  - All sex toys
  - Requires reapplication
- Silicone/Oil Based
  - All non-latex sex toys
  - Non-latex Condoms
    - Oil and silicone based lubricants break down condoms made out of latex and causes them to break
  - Reapplication is not always required
  - Difficult to clean (can stain clothing / other materials)
