- Having multiple sex partners
- Having a partner who has multiple sex partners
- Having accidental sex and with people we do not know
- Having sex after consuming alcohol or drugs: consuming these substances reduces the decision-making power of choosing a healthy relationship .
- Sexual intercourses that are more likely to cause scratches and bleeding, such as: rape or forced sexual intercourse
