Myths about EC There is only one type of EC pill, and it is hard to get EC causes abortion I was partying hard last night, so taking EC now is dangerous If I take EC today, I am covered if I have unprotected sex again tomorrow EC will mess up your fertility if you take them too many times For more info: bedsider.org

What is “Safer Sex”? Correct, consistent (always, not just some of the time) use of latex barriers (condoms and other barriers) on body parts or toys for any kind of vaginal, anal or oral sex Being mutually sexually exclusive: both you and your partners only have sex with each other Regular testing for STIs -- all you can be tested for, not just one or two -- by you and your partner

What ISN’T Safer Sex? Asking someone if they have an STI and them saying no Someone telling you they are “clean” Putting on condoms after genital contact begins, or just before ejaculation or orgasm Sharing sex toys without covering them with a condom or sterilizing before/after use Doing nothing for prevention, because previous partners were virgins Avoiding vaginal intercourse, but having unprotected anal or oral sex Giving a male partner oral sex, but not swallowing Using the withdrawal method for intercourse Hormonal methods of contraception Not having casual sex partners Washing genitals before/after sex or urinating before/after sex but not using barriers Being lesbian and only sleeping with women Being of a certain age, race, economic class, sexual orientation, gender, etc.
