Some forms of safe sex are also preventatives for pregnancy. == Safe sex precautions == === Avoiding physical contact === Avoiding physical contact can almost entirely if not entirely erase the risk of contact with bodily fluids. Mutual masturbation is a no-contact sexual activity that can be performed in the same room. Phone sex, cyber sex, and discussing fantasies can be performed while separated. === Non-penetrative sex === Non-penetrative sex is considered to be medium-risk sexual activity by Planned Parenthood. Kissing falls under this category, as do stroking, fondling, and body-to-body rubbing -- also known as "outercourse" or "dry humping". It is to be noted, though, that non-penetrative sex does not eliminate the risk of skin-to-skin transmittable diseases, such as herpes, or infections, such as genital warts. === Barrier protection === Barriers are protective devices meant to prevent contact with vaginal fluids, blood, semen, and other contaminants such as hair, saliva, and skin. === Other precautions === === Limitations === == Ineffective methods == == Abstinence == == Anal sex == == Sex toys == [[Category:BDSM Theory]][[Category:Sexual Disciplines]] Return to Safe Sex.
