Sexfest-ival

You don’t forget to back your sleeping bag to wrap you up, so don’t forget to pack a condom to wrap him up

So you’re heading to a festival for the weekend, you’ve packed sun cream to protect you from the sun, paracetamol to protect you from a hangover and a sleeping bag to protect you from the cold. But those aren’t the only forms of protection you will need…

Safe and clean sex is a must at festivals and here are four top tips:

1.    If you’re on the pill and associating yourself with alcohol you’ve pretty much cancelled out your contraception so you’re unprotected.

2.    Use a condom regardless, its unlikely you will end up sleeping with someone you know here and if you don’t know him or her, you don’t know his or her sexual history.

3.    Make sure you pack wet wipes, hand sanitizer and wash kits, people at festivals are known for their lack of hygiene and that includes down below.

4.    If giving or receiving oral, make sure your mouths are clean, you don’t want any bacterial infections on your genitals to take home with you.
