For some students having sex is not an option. Some students choose to not have sex until marriage based on culture, religion and personal conviction. Nevertheless, there are still students who do make sex an option. According to a November 2007 research release on sciencedai-ly.cotitled Report on Health and Habits of College Students Released, conducted by the University of Minnesota Boynton Health Service, more than m 70 percent of college students in the United States reported being sexually active in their lifetime. With so many college students being sexually active there is a possibility of them contracting some sort of sexually transmitted disease. Penny Davies, vice president of clinical programs for Planned Parenthood, 595 N. Bluff St., said more than half of sexually active people will contract an STD in their lifetime. However, contracting an STD can be avoided if students use the correct precautions and practice safer sex. "There is no kind of sex play that but is totally risk-freis safer something being all people can do," Davies said. One way students can practice safer sex is by only having one sexual partner who has no STDs and no other partners than you, according to com. Being married is one way to accomplish this. However, about one in three people will say they dont have an infection when they know they do, just to have sex. Davies said another way to practice safer sex is to only have sex play that has little risk of passing STDs. This includes no vaginal or anal intercourse. But if students choose to have full intercourse they should use condoms or some sort of protection that limits contact. Unprotected vaginal and anal intercourse has a high-ris- k for producing all skin-on-sk- in e, planned-parenthoo- d. skin-on-sk- in types of STDs from chlamydia to syphilis and HIV to HPV, Davies said. When unprotected oral sex and play is conducted, students have the risk to pass STDs such as gonorrhea, herpes and pubic lice. Neglecting to use protection can also lead to a more serious situation like becoming pregnant. Out of the surveys 70 percent of college students who are sexually active, the majority of them are in heterosexual relationships, which make them capable of having planned or unplanned pregnancies, according to studenthealth. oregonstate.edu. Monogamous couples who wish to stay child-fre- e should consider using contraceptives such as birth control, IUDs, condoms or the morning after pill. Davies said students oftentimes will use the pull out method if they are having unplanned sex, but she added it is not the safest method to use if students are trying to avoid unplanned pregnancies.
