Just The Tip

Everyone knows the popular game, "Just the Tip". You and your boy are fooling around to the point where he feels like he just can't hold back any longer.

With no condom in sight, or mind, he asks you if he can put it in (sans condom).

"Just the tip...," he says.

Yeah right.

As if he's gonna just put the tip of his penis in (yes I said penis), take it out and be satisfied.

As if just putting in the tip, saves you from possibly getting an STD or getting pregnant.

There is such a thing called precum, ladies and gents.

It is a clear secretion that seeps from the urethra (a.k.a the tip) when he is sexually excited.

Precum is a normal part of the "male sexual experience". lol.

While the risks of getting pregnant from precum are little bit lower, you are still at a full time risk of contracting venereal diseases and HIV.

Like I was saying before, once he puts the tip in, I highly doubt that there's any turning back.

And now you two are on your way to sweaty blissfuldom (or not).

Once you're done, and the high comes down, and you're laying back with your boo (or not) and smiling and satisfied (or not), when realization smacks you in the face.

"Damn, we ain't use no condom!" (Cause, really, who uses proper english in times like these?)

You just had unprotected sex. Possibility of an STD, HIV, HPV or a BABY-just because your itch needed a scratch? Okay, maybe that wasn't a good comparison, but either wayy...IT'S NOT A GOOD LOOK.

And then he tells you not to worry, because he "pulled out".

There are many methods of birth control (pills, the Depo shot, the vaginal ring), and hopefully you had enough sense to get a prescription to one of those. And remember, you have to take that stuff regularly for it to work in your favor.

However, despite what you (or your man) might think the "pull and pray" method is NOT a very reliable one.

So...

A) even if you are taking birth control it's still very possible that you could contract a nasty infection (or even give one to somebody else). Not cool. You don't want that to be part of your learning experience.

And...

B) if you didn't use a condom, nor use any type of birth control...well the word PANIC comes to my mind. I know everybody makes mistakes, but....you better get to the nearest pharmacy and obtain Plan B (it's an emergency contraceptive, but more about that later) and immediately schedule an appointment with your gyno or the clinic to get tested. This is for those of you that are on birth control as well.

Next thing you know, you find yourself praying double time and repenting in church (even though you haven't been since Easter) like nobody's business.

While there are a lot of sexual games that you and your man can play, "Just the Tip" should not be one of them.

Be smart people, always be prepared.
