    My advice:
    -Use protection [in your case condoms and lube] ALL THE TIME (especially if you don't know the person well even though that is not ideal...)
    -masturbate to relieve tension
    -Get educated about STDs, and other protection methods)
    -Don't have one night stands**
    -Date one person at at time and have trust, and get tested before any types of sex (oral or otherwise)
    **(If you're going to be an adult soon then you have to be able to talk about these things to a partner and get tested).

    Ok, well don't have one night stands from now on. And follow the advice in the future if you can help it? You'll have much better peace of mind from then on. :grin:

    Hope things work out for you.

    its all about control and where you let it take you, i have anxiety issues and those impulses overload my system so bad that i cant function without being pissy and angry or feeling suicidal... your issues are a bit different but it still involves your health, take steps to get certain pent up "frustration" out without needing to find a random person, get tested regularly and be honest with yourself, knowing that you want to keep this behaivor at bay is a good start, now just gotta find ways to keep yourself occupied so as not to actually go out and get into trouble... good luck...

    I appreciate your position. I also have a low threshold of control of 'impluses'. I don't think you can really stop yourself from giving in, but you can be smart.

    Like the person above said, masturbate as a means of sexual tension or general pressure. I remember doing it a good few times during long studying sessions.

    If you want a one-night stand or friend-with-extras then don't get reckless, and remember to use protection.

    Get a vasectomy.

    Use the head on your shoulders.

    And, to Hugo, you can control your impulses. Just got to learn some self-control. It's not something we can teach you.
     
  10. Except for the fact that vasectomies don't affect libido, the rest of this is truth. There's a very important word that goes along with self control that we all need to learn: No.

    All the advice given above is actually excellent! You should ALWAYS use protection and you should try to find partners with whom you can sleep with on a regular basis, this way you can't become reckless and just got out and find some Tom, Dick, and Harry. Be smart, have common sense, and you'll be ok. Oh yes, LOTS of masturbation!
