      Because it’s a good route of access for the bacteria and viruses which live in and around your reproductive organs. It’s actually really difficult for bacteria and viruses to survive outside the body for any length of time, and they have to evolve all sorts of mechanisms for doing so. But if the virus or bacteria can be passed on without ever having to survive in the outside world, it’s a much easier life.

      Sex involves meeting of two reproductive organs from two different persons…this organs can easily pass bacteria and viruses to another persons body..so if a person has particular disease which can spread by virus or bacteria; he/she will be carrier to that disease….It’s always good to be safe..
