Yes: Even if you shower, bathe or douche right after intercourse, you can still get pregnant. Many a woman has found that out the hard way. There are a lot of options for birth control and we can almost always find one that works for you.

Should I be practicing safe sex while pregnant?
3 doctor answers • 8 doctors weighed in
Dr. Robert Benneranswered

Yes: The safest sex is sex with a single partner who has no other partners but you. If this is not your situation, then condoms are very important, as this will greatly reduce the chances of getting a sexually transmitted infection (sti). Some stis can harm the baby as well as you, so it is even more important to protect yourself when both you and your baby are at risk.

Is it safe to have unprotected sex with an irregular period?

Dr. Nurit Winkleranswered

No: Unprotected intercourse can put you at risk of sexually transmitted diseases as well as unwanted pregnancy. Especially with irregular periods it is difficult to estimate when are you ovulating and what are the most “fertility days” in your cycle.

A 35-year-old member asked:
My friend insists that I should perform oral sex on her. Is this hygienic if I have bad gums?

Dr. Charles Kattuahanswered

Gums vs. hygiene?: If by stating you have bad gums that you have untreated periodontal disease caused by poor oral hygiene and lack of dental care then you may be harboring many potentially harmful organisms in your mouth and will likely transfer them to her when doing the act. If by bad gums you mean that they are receding yet you have good oral hygiene and get regular dental care then you should be fine.
