Content: . Sorry, but water doesn’t have magical STI-cleansing properties, unfortunately. Given that it’s kind of tricky to use protection underwater, and especially hard to use it properly, this is pretty problematic. Another important thing to keep in mind, per Dr. Wider: Friction from sex can cause those aforementioned vaginal tears—and that can up your risk of getting an STI, too. BTW, it’s not any one particular STI you’re opening yourself up to, it’s all of them, Dr. Wider says. 6. Even digital penetration can be a risk.
