You're more vulnerable to STDs than your male partner is
It's true: Having a vagina makes you more susceptible to getting a sexually transmitted disease (STD) than a person with a penis. That's because the thin lining of the vagina allows viruses and bacteria to pass through more easily than the tougher skin of the penis. It's also more likely during heterosexual intercourse to suffer tiny abrasions, further increasing the possibility of infection, Dr. Dweck explains; and the use of spermicides(1) can actually increase the chance of developing microabrasions. "Keep in mind a lot of STDs are not transmitted just by semen, but by skin to skin contact," Dr. Dweck adds. We can't say it enough: Use condoms!
spermicides: Spermicide is a chemical that kills sperm. It's found in creams, films, foams, gels, and suppositories often available at any drugstore.
