Safer sex is a qualitative term. To be absolutely safe, sexual contact cannot involve an exchange of any body fluids - specifically, semen or vaginal secretions. The term safer sex recognizes the likelihood of human error and the inexactness of human knowledge. Safer sex refers to sexual intercourse using a condom and spermicide, or sexual practices that do not involve exchange of body fluids. 3, record 1, English, - safer%20sex
