* You know you are pregnant: when you’ve missed your period, suffer from morning sickness and vomiting and crave for vinegary foods, when your pregnancy test comes out positive, when your gynecologist says so

If reading this section has made you pause for thought, this means you’re a mature and responsible person. If this section made you laugh, you should ask yourself what sort of bozo you are. If this section was boring and incomprehensible, put away the book and go back to your Barbie dolls.

Sexually-transmitted or Venereal diseases

– a very dark side of sex. If you try to treat them by yourself, or by relying on laymen’s advice, they only get even darker and more dangerous.

TYPES OF DISEASES:syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes, vaginitis…

SYMPTOMS:may be very different, depending on the affliction. Itching, redness, swellings, a prickling sensation, secretions…

TRANSMISSION:Easy and fast HOW: Sexual relations

TREATMENT:Lengthy and tedious PROTECTION:Condoms

PREVENTION:Avoiding sexual relations if one of the partners suspects the existence of a sexually – transmitted disease

RISKS:Frequent change of partner and poor hygiene

DELUSIONS:It only happens to others; it’ll go away by itself

ESPECIALLY NEGATIVE: It’s a major bother and also a great disgrace

ESPECIALLY POSITIVE:Nothing

Those that understand how dangerous sexually-transmitted diseases are may read on. The others should re-read this section until they comprehend it fully. Now go on.

Aids

– the darkest side of sex, so dark that it’s an absolute nightmare.

AIDS CANNOT BE CURED, it’s FATAL.

AIDS sufferers usually DIE in great pain.

Members of the following groups have a bigger than average risk of contracting the HIV virus:

HAEMOPHILIACS, DRUG ADDICTS, HOMO-SEXUALS AND PROMISCUOUS PERSONS (those who often change partners in sex) Transmitted through the BLOOD or SEXUAL RELATIONS.

The best protection: CONDOMS and FIDELITY of the partners.

TO MAKE SURE YOU’D READ THIS SECTION AT LEAST TWICE, WE

DIDN’T SAVE ON PAPER. YOU SHOULD NOW HOW SERIOUS

AIDS REALLY IS.

ADVISABLE:Spreading the word about AIDS

TRIED AND TESTED: God protects those who protect themselves!

Sexual violence

– sexual contacts to which one person has not consented voluntarily of knowingly, or has consented under duress. Sexual violence is far more widespread than you might think. Its victims are usually reluctant to talk about their bad experiences. They are afraid of a feeling of guilt or shame, condemnation or adverse comments, revenge by their assailant, shame on their whole family…

COMPULSORY:If, God forbid, something like this happens to you, you must immediately tell a person you trust about it.

Without showering or washing yourself, go to your Gynecologist at once, and only then to the police.

OF COURSE:You mustn’t invent anything that didn’t really happen!

Rape

– sexual relations carried out without the consent of one person. Usually attended by physical violence, brutality, slapping across the face, crying and fear.

Rape can inflict both physical and mental consequences on its victims. It is usually an expression of anger, demonstration of force or an act of humiliation rather than an attempt to achieve sexual satisfaction. Its victims can be both female and male. It is punishable by law.

PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE:

Avoid dark and lonely places!

Always carry a flashlight, Mace or siren!

Avoid inflaming male passions if you’re not willing to have sex!

Stay out of the cars and flats of people you don’t know!

Be as sober and careful as possible!

ADDITION I:Rape can also be committed by someone you know – a friend, boyfriend, husband, teacher or eve a family member (see the next section)

ADDITION II: If you see any suspicious individuals hanging around your school, you must immediately inform a teacher, the headmaster, a parent or the nearest police station.

Incest

– sexual violence within a family, perpetrated by next of kin, a stepfather, stepmother or more distant relatives. If children are involved, they are usually compelled to keep it secret. Children usually succumb because they are terror-stricken and ashamed. They fear that they won’t be believed, that they will be punished or that the sexual violence will spread to other family members. Both the aggressor and the victims can be male or female. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish between incest and simple closeness and love between relatives.

Pedophilia

or child abuse means sexual relations between a child and an older person not related to the child. Like the other forms of sexual violence, its consequen-ces for the children are very negative. Pedop-hilia sometimes also involves prostitution.

In case some old geezer starts blowing in your face, staring at your bosom, stroking your leg or God forbid even shoving his hand into your panties, don’t be scared and lose your wits, but scream off the top

of your head: “Help! Police!

Help!” If the maniac is by some chance a

person who is close to you, scream

even louder!

You must never fall for statements like this one – “Don’t tell anyone about this, let it

be our little secret!” or “Tell anyone a word and you’ll regret it!” Find an adult you trust and do the exact opposite!
