How often should I have intercourse?

Untitled Document
The frequency of intercourse generally should be that which the couple considers most enjoyable. However, during the time of the moth when ovulation takes place, the most advantageous frequency of intercourse is every other day (i.e., every 48 hours). The reason for this interval is that sperm should survive for 48 hours within the woman's reproductive tract and the egg should be subject to impregnate for 12 to 24 hours.

The FDA recently approved EC to be sold over the counter to women who are 18 and older.

What is a condom?

Sexual & Reproductive Health: Frequently Asked Questions...
A condom is a thin latex covering used to cover the penis. It is worn over the man's erect penis and catches the semen as it is released, stopping it from entering his partner. There are different types of condoms available, some are lubricated, others flavored. Non-latex condoms are made for people with latex allergies. All condoms sold in Canada should meet government standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Only use one condom at a time. Two condoms are not better than one. Putting two condoms on at the same time could cause the latex to break down and lead to condom failure. Carefully open the package with your fingertips. Do not use sharp items (i.e. your teeth or fingernails) to open the package. Condoms with a pre-formed reservoir tip are available. If the condom you are using does not have a pre-formed reservoir tip, you must make one by leaving room at the tip of the condom.

Is it possible to have genital warts without ever having sexual intercourse?

SSHA - Frequently Asked Questions
Non-sexual spread of genital warts due to the human papilloma virus (HPV) has been documented though it is felt to be rare. It may be possible to pass on the virus to the genital area from warts on the fingers but this is unlikely to happen often. Infants born to women with genital warts during pregnancy very rarely develop laryngeal (throat) warts. Pregnancy can often trigger warts to grow in size and number and can be treated.

The most superficial layer is the oil layer produced by the oil glands in the lids. These oil glands are called meibomian glands. This oil layer coats the tear film retarding evaporation like a biological Saran Wrap. The middle layer is the aqueous layer.
