I suppose you'd live if you had sex right away, alot of people do, but please please please PLEASE make sure your partner is STD free. Having an open wound in that area makes transmission much more likely. Also, since it's only 4 weeks or so til it's healed, it's (in my opinion) much easier to just abstain and not risk any complications/worries because of having sex.

And yeah, the pics are pretty skimpy without a membership, but everything else is FREE! And their encyclopedia is a great help.
