Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, E
Feedback:
Safer sexual practices include using a latex condom for intercourse, voiding immediately after having sex, avoiding sex with intravenous drug users, and inspecting the sexual partner for genital lesions. Hand-to-genital sex is not the safest sexual practice. Abstinence is the only 100 guarantee against not contracting a sexually transmitted infection.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Vaginismus is involuntary contraction of the muscles at the outlet of the vagina when coitus is attempted that prohibits penile penetration and may occur in women who have been raped. Other causes are unknown, but it could also be the result of early learning patterns in which sexual relations were viewed as bad or sinful. As with other sexual problems, sexual or psychological counseling to reduce this response may be necessary. A lack of interest in sex is not a normal part of aging. Learning to tolerate sex and using lubricants does not help with the problem of vaginismus.
