Undoubtedly sex is one of most pleasurable thing in the world. There is no one in the world who has never thought about it.

Hence precautions are to be kept in considering before going on high ride of sex. A healthy people can enjoy every bit of it for long time. So keep yourself healthy enough to enjoy sound sex life.

Are you healthy enough for sexual activity? Is it really a health threat? The notion that sex can seriously affect your health is not a myth.

Few people think of sex as a major health risk other than those with AIDS or other sexually transmitted diseases. Some would add unplanned pregnancy and the emotional side effects of having sex before being psychologically ready to the list. While most people who have sex survive it, there are important health issues you need to know about.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Sexually Transmitted Diseases are the result of lack of sex knowledge, goosy sex activity and unprotected sex. STDs are too painful and bothersome to bear it. While Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) may cause annoying symptoms such as burning with urination or a discharge (from the penis or cervix), some STDs can be fatal. The best known is AIDS. While it's true that drug therapy has transformed the outlook for people infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, premature death due to complications of the disease is still a real problem. And, of course, not everyone has access to the medications, which are expensive and largely unavailable in many places.

Untreated, many STDs can cause serious illnesses:

• Hepatitis B and C — These viruses can cause long-term liver damage, ultimately causing cirrhosis and liver failure; they also increase the risk of liver cancer.
• Gonorrhea — Most cases are limited to the genital tract, causing a discharge and local irritation, but there is a more serious, widespread form called disseminated gonococcal infection, or DGI that causes rash, fever and arthritis. In addition, women with gonorrhea are at risk for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), a serious infection of the internal genital organs that can lead to pain, widespread infection, infertility and even death.
• Chlamydia — Complications from chlamydia can cause PID (as above)
• Syphilis — Syphilis can progress to a chronic ("tertiary") form; over years it can damage internal organs, including the spinal cord and brain, ultimately causing death.
• Human papilloma virus (HPV) — Although it causes genital warts and is rarely dangerous on its own, infection with HPV can lead to cervical cancer, which can be fatal if not detected and treated.
• Genital herpes – Mothers can transmit this infection to a newborn, causing serious illness and organ damage; there is no cure for herpes and while it rarely causes aserious illness itself, this viral infection can make it easier for HIV to be passed between sexual partners.
