Hello Furries and Friends,

Before Going to bed and calling it a night I checked my Email. Normaly I just read group postings if they are important to me and well a certain envelope contained something of the upmost importance. What the hell could be so important in the furry world that I should or someone else should worry about?

Being a fur is a great thing and at times we feel so seperated from the normies that we forget, Like a normie we are all susceptible to a variety of contageous diseases from the common cold to the ever so Dreded HIV and AIDs. Sexualy transmitted diseases can effect anyone and are a growing problem in the world. To think about getting AIDS from your most trusted friend is a heart ripping, stomach churning thought. Hell getting any STD is a terrible thought.

While some STDs are curable or heal on their own, Most STDs are non Curable and have a higher risk of Infection. around 7 out of 10 people have some sort of STD and most don't even know it and end up giving it to their partner. There are also those that know they have a disease and end up participating in some sort of sexual activity these people are often referred to as "gift givers". Whether they Know or not they still spread.

Most people Dont like wearing condoms. Yes I know that they hinder some sensitivity, but are you going to sacrifice your well being to go barebacking? How would you feel if you gave your partner an STD because She or He did not feel like wearing protection? Condoms are not just for birth control, Most are there for your own security and stop most STDs from spreading. Some STDs such as Herpes, Genital warts, and crabs cannot be 100% protected just by wearing a condom. However more serious and painful STDs can be stopped even if it does mean loosing a bit of sensation.

I cannot stress this enough. Wear a bloody Condom, Even when giving or receiving oral sex. Herpes and genital warts can effect your mouth and face too. Who wants to go around with those on their face? STDs can be spread via Semen, Vaginal Secretions, Blood, Fecal and anal secretions (no ones tail hole is that clean) and other bodily fluids. They can even be spread by sharing toys. I have seen people use condoms for their toys. Please Wear some sort of protection. If you have a disease Please avoid sexual contact until the disease is cured or proper measures have been taken to lower the risk of spreading it. Masterbation is the safest sex and wearing a condom when mating is the next safest thing you can do

Using a Condom every time and when changing partners is a great practice! A lady or gentalman Appreciates it when you wear a condom and will probably have alot more respect for you in knowing that you are cautious and not some careless jerk. Condoms come in many forms including Ribbed, Textured, Extra Thin, Heated, Prelubed, and of course tastes. Avoid using a lambskin Condom as these are for birth controll not for stopping STDs Use a latex or Polyurthene Condom. When using a latex condom use an approved Lubricant. Oils of any kind can cause latex to deteriorate and break. If your condom tears Replace it promptly. Some Lubricants are waterbased and are ideal for use with condoms. examples are, KY, Astroglide, as well as Durex and Trojan. Please Wear a condom no matter how much you hate them.


Masterbation, as mentioned before, Is the safest sex you can have. Even if its with Palma Handerson or your favorite toy or plush. I think That Masterbation should be practiced more often and should be embraced. It can be fun and enjoyed at your own leasure. Imagining your own fantasies what ever they may be is also fun. Mutual Masterbation is fun too but should be done with care unless you are familiar with your partners sexual Lifestyle. Embrace Masterbaation as a safe, Fun, and enjoyable alternative to sex.

Thank you all very much for reading this important article. I just Hope you all take this advice and spread it. It is the first step you can take against the war on STDs. Remeber to get checked regulary usualy once to twice a year depending on your sexual lifestyle or your partners. Wear a condom. If you know you have an STD avoid having sex and practice masterbation. And Finaly Have fun!

Once again Thank you all for you time.
