There are ten resolutions that all South Africans should be making, which would go a long way towards sorting out many of the problems our nation is experiencing:
- I will never have casual sex without a condom.
- I will not cheat on my partner as this also puts them at risk.
- If someone says no to sex, I will accept it.
- I will make an effort to get a partner if I want one and am currently single.
- I will remember that unprotected casual sex can also lead to unwanted pregnancies.
- I will alert any of my previous partners if I contract an STI.
- I will respect someone’s right to make decisions about their own bodies.
- I will remember that sex is also there for enjoyment and not as part of some game of manipulation or one-upmanship.
- I will respect my sexual partners and will not reveal details of our encounters to other people.
- I will accept that sex is something that should only happen between consenting adults.
