You can’t go to all the places that you used to go, you can’t gather in groups that you used to, and your favourite places are shut or closing early. Life is not great right now. There are some basic pleasures that remain to us however. We can still enjoy good food and good meals, as long as we can cook them ourselves that is. We can enjoy relaxing over an evening with a glass of something whilst watching our favourite television program, and we can still have sex with our fuck buddy… or can we? There are many fears about the way that coronavirus is transmitted and whether you can have sex safely. I am here to dispel a lot of the myth and explain it based on the current science or understanding. Please remember that this is a changing area so this may get superseded by new science so it is always best to check for the latest updates.</p> <h3>How the coronavirus is spread<br /> </h3> <p>It is passed from person to person through contact with the saliva from the mouth or the nose. This is why masks are important and people are using screens and face shields, to prevented being in contact with other people’s saliva. At the moment there is no science that indicates that the coronavirus can be spread from having sex, either vaginal sex nor anal sex. So does that mean that you can have sex without having to think about catching covid?</p> <h3>Kissing, touching, stroking<br /> </h3> <p>It seems the issue is not the actual sex, it is all the things that usually happen before, after and even during the se. It is the kissing which exchanges saliva, and the touching and stroking of the other person that gives the contact that may mean that should they have COVID-19 that they may give it to you. In theory the sex itself is fine.</p> <h3><strong>How to have sex safely<br /> </strong></h3> <p>If you or your fuck buddy have symptoms, stay away. Leave it a few days and see if they pass. Whilst we don’t like having to wait to have sex, the wait can sometimes make it sweeter! If you do not have symptoms and you have effectively isolated for the relevant period you can be fairly confident it is safe.</p> <h3><strong>Get your kink on</strong><br /> </h3> <p>Have you ever tried to have sex without the kissing and the touching? Without breathing on each other where the only parts that are in contact are your genitals? Now might be the time to give it a try!</p> <p>So you can have sex… but be careful and stay safe. You want to live to have sex again another day.</p> Sun, 25 Oct 2020 17:25:01 +0000 EdBennett 6757 at https://www.f-buddy.com https://www.f-buddy.com/ireland/blog/can-i-catch-coronavirus-having-sex#comments Sleeping Around: A Healthy Guide https://www.f-buddy.com/ireland/blog/sleeping-around-healthy-guide <div class="view view-blog-date-tags view-id-blog_date_tags view-display-id-entity_view_1 view-dom-id-6b1e3ef225da3fb0a1b753f04b2f192b"> <div class="view-content"> <div> 15 Mar 2015 - 11:14 | Tags: <a href="/australia/blog/tags/sleeping-around-healthily" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">sleeping around healthily</a>, <a href="/australia/blog/tags/safe-sex" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">safe sex</a>, <a href="/australia/blog/tags/fun-sex" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">fun sex</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-images"><img typeof="foaf:Image" loading="lazy" src="https://www.f-buddy.com/sites/f-buddy.com/files/styles/blog-images/public/images/blog/casual_sex_1.jpg?itok=S2ThzDUS" width="250" height="188" alt="" /></div><p>Sex can be amazing! Like a drug though, it can also be used to try and blot out problems in your life. Some people sleep around because they genuinely enjoy the casual aspect sex can bring. Other people sleep around because they think it will make people like them more. Sex will not make people like you any more or less. Only you can make yourself feel good. No one else can. </p> <p><strong>The Healthy Way to Have Sex</strong><br /> Sleeping with someone because you think it will make them like you more is not a good reason to have sex. Sleeping with someone because you know it make you feel good, is a good reason to have sex. The trick is in knowing your own mind and what makes you feel good in a positive healthy way. Some tips to check your mental status before shagging around are below:</p> <p><strong>1. Are you comfortable?</strong><br /> Basically are you feeling good about yourself? Are you content with who you are at the moment? If you’re not feeling great about yourself then sex with a random buddy is probably not going to help you feel much better.</p> <p><strong>2. Are you a virgin?</strong><br /> If you’re a virgin and are just looking to have sex to see what it feels like and get it out of the way, then you need to go look elsewhere. Casual sex is probably not the best starting place to pop your cherry.</p> <p><strong>3. Are you horny?</strong><br /> Sounds obvious, but if you’re not feeling even remotely horny you shouldn’t be trying to have sex until you do. </p> <p><strong>4. Do you fancy the person you’re considering having sex with?</strong><br /> Again obvious, but you’d be surprised by the amount of people who don’t fancy the partner they sleep with. Come on people! If you don’t even fancy your lover than what the fuck is the point?!</p> <p><strong>5. Do you have repressed feelings of guilt? </strong><br /> If you’ve been raised to feel that sex is a ‘dirty thing’ that shouldn’t be practised outside of marriage, stop whatever you’re about to do right now! Sex should be fun. Repeat: SEX SHOULD BE FUN! If you’re harbouring religious guilt or familial guilt, then you need to get over that first before jumping into bed with the first person that comes along.</p> Sun, 15 Mar 2015 11:14:29 +0000 EdBennett 6350 at https://www.f-buddy.com https://www.f-buddy.com/ireland/blog/sleeping-around-healthy-guide#comments Safe Sex in Casual Relationships https://www.f-buddy.com/blog/safe-sex-casual-relationships <div class="view view-blog-date-tags view-id-blog_date_tags view-display-id-entity_view_1 view-dom-id-5dd72e1b0220a1a1a36ccc5736a243af"> <div class="view-content"> <div> 3 Mar 2015 - 11:01 | Tags: <a href="/australia/blog/tags/safe-sex" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">safe sex</a>, <a href="/australia/blog/tags/safe-sex-casual-relationships" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">safe sex in casual relationships</a>, <a href="/australia/blog/tags/sex" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">sex</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-images"><img typeof="foaf:Image" loading="lazy" src="https://www.f-buddy.com/sites/f-buddy.com/files/styles/blog-images/public/images/blog/safe_sex_0.jpg?itok=PapC2yh3" width="250" height="345" alt="" /></div><p>We’ve talked about this a lot, but the latest stats show that more than 1 in 3 people have unprotected sex with a new partner. We’re not here to judge anyone for their choices, but we would like to advise our members on the best ways to enjoy sex with a new partner for the first time. </p> <p><strong>1. Use a Condom</strong><br /> You can get ultra light and thin condoms now. They’re so good now that couples have trouble telling the difference between using a condom and not using one. Google the net to find a brand that’s good for you. There are hundreds to choose from. When you’re having sex with someone for the first time, you simply don’t know who else they’ve had sex with. They might be 100% genuine in what they say, but it’s safer and more trustworthy when a new partner actually insists on using a condom the first few times. </p> <p><strong>2. Keep your feet on the ground</strong><br /> It’s easy to get whisked away in the physicality of sex with someone new. You’re turned on, they’re turned on. Try and remember your brain before having sex. It will stop you from making any mistakes. </p> <p><strong>3. Don’t trust anyone if you find out they’ve lied on their profile</strong><br /> If someone has lied about anything on their profile – and we mean ANYTHING – do not trust them when they tell you about their sexual background. If they’ve lied about their height, age or situation, who’s to say they haven’t lied about something else? </p> <p><strong>4. Report anyone who harasses you on the site</strong><br /> We want all our members to be safe, so please report anyone who harasses you with unwanted messages, texts etc. Use your judgment and don’t ever think you’re being paranoid. </p> <p><strong>5. Don’t do anything you’re not comfortable with</strong><br /> S&amp;M and Kink can be fun, but don’t do anything you’re uncomfortable with. Communicate clearly with your partner what you will and will not do in and out of the bedroom. </p> <p>Safe sex isn’t just about using condoms and contraceptives; it’s about feeling comfortable and being safe in all your sexual experiences. If anyone violates your trust, drop them like lead. You’re here to have fun, not experience unwanted drama.</p> Tue, 03 Mar 2015 11:01:30 +0000 EdBennett 6345 at https://www.f-buddy.com https://www.f-buddy.com/blog/safe-sex-casual-relationships#comments Fucking Responsibly https://www.f-buddy.com/australia/blog/fucking-responsibly <div class="view view-blog-date-tags view-id-blog_date_tags view-display-id-entity_view_1 view-dom-id-948e2cd30009af2364a957b86b79bb21"> <div class="view-content"> <div> 3 Aug 2013 - 09:00 | Tags: <a href="/australia/blog/tags/fucking-responsibly" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">fucking responsibly</a>, <a href="/australia/blog/tags/safe-sex" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">safe sex</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-images"><img typeof="foaf:Image" loading="lazy" src="https://www.f-buddy.com/sites/f-buddy.com/files/styles/blog-images/public/images/blog/fucking-responsibly-356_0.jpg?itok=TEqNQwfW" width="250" height="166" alt="" /></div><p>It’s easy to get carried away during casual sex. Too easy sometimes and because we are big promoters and supporters of the fuck buddy relationship, we do like to regularly remind our users that it is important to practice safe sex particularly with new partners. Even if you think you can trust a new fuck buddy (and thankfully most of the time you can), it never hurts to be safe and slip on a condom. </p> <p><strong>The Dangers of Fucking Irresponsibly</strong><br /> We don’t want to sound like a broken record, but it is important to provide our members with as much knowledge and information as possible. That way when you do find your perfect fuck buddy, you can bang each other’s brains out to mutual content without having to worry about unfortunate consequences.</p> <p>To this end we’ve compiled a short list of the risks of fucking irresponsibly along with simple ways to drastically limit or eliminate those risks.</p> <p><strong>1. STDs</strong><br /> Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Herpes (HSV) are some of the most common sexually transmitted infections flitting about. Unprotected sex exposes you to an increased risk of catching one of them and as the symptoms can take up to years to show, you might not even know you have an infection until the damage is done. A simple way to greatly reduce and avoid the risk of catching an STD is to use a condom during sex. Whilst it does not provide 100% protection from catching an STD or STI it does severely reduce the chances of you getting one.</p> <p><strong>2. Unplanned Pregnancy</strong><br /> Human beings were put here on earth for one biologically imperative: to go forth and multiply. Of course in the 21st century we should all really be working on scaling the population back a bit. The last thing you want to deal with in a casual relationship is the prospect of a baby. An unwanted pregnancy is both physically and emotionally draining and can destroy people’s lives. There are so many contraceptive methods available to avoid this risk that we kind of feel stupid having to even talk about it. However following a discussion with several young men and women recently, we were all silently appalled at how little they knew about birth control. Condoms, the pill, the coil, spermicidal cream, contraceptive injections and much more are all available to use to prevent any unplanned pregnancy. We would recommend using a combination of contraceptive methods to severely reduce the risk of becoming pregnant. If you’re still unsure over what you should be using, consult with a Doctor.</p> <p><strong>3. Emotional Damage</strong><br /> Hey, we’re not Cosmopolitan and we’re not going to start lecturing you on how you should treat a fuck buddy in a casual relationship. After all a casual relationship is exactly that; casual. No strings sex is often an integral part to this. However we do realise that sex can lead to emotional complications. The solution is to handle the situation appropriately. A fuck buddy implies exactly that; someone you can meet up and fuck with low to no emotional complications. For example, if someone has written in their profile that they are open to seeing where things go, approach the situation carefully. The person you end up fucking might be hoping for something more from the encounter. We recommend being very clear up front about what you want from your fuck buddy! If you’re looking for just sex, say so. If you want to be bound and ball gagged – say so! If you’re hoping to be exclusive with one person – say so! If you aren’t clear on what you want then it’s unfair on both parties. You could open yourself and any fuck buddy you hook up with to a world of hurt later on. </p> <p><strong>4. Jealously</strong><br /> This leads on from the last point but it can be extremely destructive. And again it all begins with how honest you are with a fuck buddy. If you start playing games and bragging about how many people you are sleeping with after you’ve told someone you want to be exclusive with them, you can end up causing yourself huge problems. Don’t let yourself get into that situation! Be honest and don’t act like a prick.</p> <p><strong>Fuck Responsibly</strong><br /> We want you to enjoy this site and each other as much as possible, which is why it is important you understand fully all of the benefits and risks.</p> <p>Happy fucking!</p> Sat, 03 Aug 2013 08:00:00 +0000 jeni 5849 at https://www.f-buddy.com https://www.f-buddy.com/australia/blog/fucking-responsibly#comments
