Get the HPV vaccine
Get and start PrEP!!!!!!
Never brush your teeth before or after sex, tooth brushes can create microcuts in your gums. Mouthwash is better.
If your partner gives you bad feelings, has arm marks, or suspicious bumps or rashes, just say no!
Try to pee after every sexual encounter, it can help flush away anything nasty.
If your very promiscuous consider removing your pubic hair to reduce vectors for crabs.
If your partner smells, it could be yeast, best to avoid sex. But if you do it anyway apply a antifungal to your fun jungle just in case.
Get your vaccines for hepatitis, flu shot, COVID. Your going to be in close quarters with lots of people, so normal infections will be more likely
Find a doctor you like, and tell them your a mega slut, don't lie at all. Let them help reduce your risk surface.
It's a good idea to shower between partners, just general hygiene.
Bonus A: not all sex has the same risk, anything with blood is very dangerous. Mouth fluids are the safest. Vaginal discharge is safer then penile discharge. Rough order of sexual risk:
Bonus B: if your having enough sex, someone is going to get pregnant... eventually. Be prepared for that and have a plan. (Especially if your doing stuff bareback, but it's going to happen even with protection) ... eventually

I think I might throw frequent STD screens on that list as well. Maybe talk with a counselor too just to make sure your mind is in a good place.
100%. If your on prep your clinic will do a std panel every 6 months or less... well they should
Right, but sometimes you have to advocate for yourself.
This is the first time Iβve heard about advice #3. It makes sense but I never thought about brushing becoming a vector.
Because robots are strong, and theyβre made of metal, and when they grasp you with those metal claws you canβt break free.
I was thinking more to save your hand if you were slapping one on its mechanical ass.
This is wonderful and detailed advice but you can combine the circumcized and uncircumcised points. Studies on circumcision having any medical or protective benefit have been highly influenced by religious interests. The biggest ones by the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation in the 2000s look like pure philanthropy on the surface but people involved were calling for mass circumcision before they did the study. They draw a correlation with questionable methods that people who received free circumcisions in Africa had less cases of AIDS, which could be from any number of social or economic factors even if the data could be trusted. Medical organizations do not consider it to be a benefit.
