[NSFW] Reddit, what every person should know before starting their sex life?

Zygote management is a thing.

Prevent pregnancy! Don't wait until after the DNA tests come back positive.

Don't assume your partner is responsible or disease free.

Don't think condoms will prevent you from getting herpes.

Get std testing before and after every partner.

Get an HPV vaccination, just do it.

Abortions are absolutely and specifically and by definition a form of birth control. Also, don't be an idiot, get some contraception.

Good studies show IUDs are better than ever for long term reliable birth control.

Try to communicate like an adult. No raping. Definitely no raping. No means no, maybe means no. This means you too ladies.

In most states if you're both drunk only the male is competent to consent to sex. So don't have sex with females who have had a drink in the last 8 hours. Men have a rep for being rapey, just know that going in and be cautious. If I were a young man I'd just stay celibate without a camera running at all times to prove my innocence.

Always get a DNA test to confirm you are the father, even if you're married. You have no idea how often they come back with a surprise.

As for seduction and getting a date and all that, you're on your own kid. I heard being attractive helps and also not being unattractive is beneficial too.

Yes there is some sarcasm in this comment. I leave it to the reader to decide what is what.
