It is important to have sex but it also important to follow some sexual hygiene habits too. Poor hygiene can lead to infection which in turn can lead to serious diseases. All women should be concerned about their vaginal health. Here are some tips from The Exotic Kiss to help. 1) If your vagina has a strong or unpleasant odor, see your doctor; a douche will only cover up the smell without curing the problem that's causing it & can interfere with the vagina's pH levels, reducing its acidity and setting the stage for bacterial infections. Normally, vaginal pH is about 3.8 to 4.5. 2) Avoid using harsh soaps or cleansers on the vulva or inside the vagina, as these also can affect a healthy pH balance. 3)Both partners should wash their hands and nails before and after sex to prevent transfer of germs and bacteria to your genitals. 4) Your vagina should stay clean and dry. Try not to wear tight-fitting clothing, and change out of wet swimsuits and sweaty workout clothes as quickly as possible. 5) To avoid embarrassment or bad odour, women should avoid having sex in the first two days of their menstrual cycle. 6) Avoid oral sex if your partner has sores around the mouth or near the genitals, it can pass on to you. 7) Lubrication is an important part of intercourse. Without it, the skin of the labia and vagina can become irritated and chafed, sometimes to the point of breaking. 8) Using condoms during sex helps to protect against sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV, genital herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, genital warts, and chlamydia. Some of these diseases, like HIV and genital herpes, have no cure. #SafeSexMatters 9) You should change condoms when switching from oral or anal sex to vaginal sex, to prevent the introduction of harmful bacteria into the vagina.
