If you have monogamous relationships, you and your partners who know each other good enough as well as have no secrets from each other (especially when they deal with sexual life) are well protected from undesired infections. So, if you have a stable relationship you’re satisfied with, may complete trust and intimacy be in it and don’t set any boundaries for expressing yourselves. The matter is that the cooperation and understanding between you will keep you working for each other. By the way, if it has happened so that one of you has some STD, try to help each other.

Briefly speaking, if you wish to have 100% safe sex, the best method of self-protection is having sexual relations with only one partner, better if it’s a husband or wife.
