What things can reduce risky sexual behaviors?

Dr. Ashesh Patel answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Barrier protection: Abstinence is the safest sexual behavior. Masturbation is the second safest sexual behavior. Any sexual behavior without using protection (condoms, etc) is considered risky so to reduce the risk, please use condoms or other medically approved barrier methods during sexual activity.
