When things are getting hot and heavy, the last thing either partner wants to do is sit down and have a serious conversation about their intimate contact lives: past, present, and future. However, assuming the tryst isn’t a complete spur-of-the-moment deed that is sure to be one-night-stand situation, it is important to have “the relationship talk” well in advance, lest one end up with a life-long reminder of this moment of passion in the form of a partner-transmitted infection or unwanted pregnancy. For the record, even if both partners are in favor of a single night hook-up, this is no reason not to use protection – and perhaps even more reason to do so, as such wild spirits may be more likely to have a history of sensual risk-taking, which statistically increases their chance of infection of some type. It is above all important to stay healthy; after all a healthy male organ is important for a healthy reproductive life.

Are they a virgin? A potential partner may seem experienced, but it is better to ask if they are experienced than to assume they are; after all, taking someone’s v-card is a whole different ballgame. A female losing her virginity may experience pain, and even bleeding, so a man will certainly want to know if such a thing is a possibility.
