Costaricasex.com is an advocate of safe sex. Always use a condom.
The true incidence of sexually transmitted disease (STD) and AIDS is not readily available in Costa Rica, but you can be assured that it is not any less, from where you come from.
Safe sex and the use of the condom is both yours and her responsibility.
Sure it doesn’t feel the same, we know. However, taking risks such as not using a condom is like dipping your “johnson” in a beehive. You wouldn’t do that, so why would you… Ok, enough, you get the picture.
Contrary to popular belief and anything else you have read on the internet about medical check ups, there is no required regulation or standard that requires sex social workers (prostitutes) to get a medical check up.
Some strip clubs and massage parlours insist on the women working their establishment to submit to a regular medical check, but that is a personal decision and not one that is required by law.
Condoms are pretty cheap in Costa Rica. Many brands and styles are available and sold over the counter at supermarkets, local stores and gasoline stations. Stock up, be prepared!
