'''Florianópolis''' (also known by its nickname '''Floripa''') is the capital city of [[Santa Catarina (Brazil)|Santa Catarina State]] in southern [[Brazil]]. It is composed of one main island, the [[Santa Catarina (island)|Island of Santa Catarina]], one continental part and the surrounding small islands. It has a population of 406,564 ([[2006]]/[[IBGE]]). Its metropolitan area has a population of over 821,423 inhabitants.

'''1.) The passing of any bodily fluid or material from one individual to another.'''

It is surrounded by smaller [[island]]s with [[fort]]s, which protected ships in the [[17th century]]. Most of the population lives on the island's northern half. The southern half is more isolated and less developed. Although originally settled by the [[Portugal|Portuguese]] (from the Archipelago of [[Azores]]), the city has a strong [[Germany|German]] and [[Italy|Italian]] influence, like the rest of the state. Florianópolis is a popular destination for [[South America]]n tourists, because of its ___location and white sand beaches. Florianópolis is served by [[Hercílio Luz International Airport]] for both domestic and international flights.

This first and most basic practice includes virtually all sexual activity, therefore, in order to engage in a normal sex life, one must use circumspect caution about what activities are acceptable and with whom.

==Geography==

If you have a lover and have known this person for a protracted period and both of you have reasonable assurances that neither of you have strayed to assignations with outsiders, and if you both take [[HIV]] tests regularly (twice a year), then the liklihood that that either of you will infect the other is virtually nil. But, even in this way too cautious hypothesis you still could contract type C [[hepatitis]] if your sexplay includes ingestion of feces or vomitus. (For some people it does.) Or, in a less extreme variant, a long dormant [[herpetic infection]] might appear and transfer without notice.

===Climate===

The [[humid subtropical climate]] gets its name from the high humidity experienced in this environment. The stations of the year are well characterized, summer and well definite winter, being the fall and spring of characteristics similar.Frosts do not be frequent, but occur sporadically in the winter. Due to the proximity of the sea, the relative humidity of the air is of 80% on average. The haste is enough significant and well distributed during the year. The annual normal haste for the period of 1911-1984 was of 1521 mm. Not a dry station exists, being the summer generally the station that presents the most greatest index pluviométrico (Hermann et alii, 1986). They elevated hastes occur of January to March, with medium of 160 monthly mm, being that of April to December there is little variation, with a medium one around 100 monthly mm. The shortest values occur of June to August. On average of the maxims of the [[hot]]test month varies of 26°C to 31ºC and on average of the minimums of the month more [[cold]], of 7,5°C to 12°C. The lowest temperature ever recorded was -2ºC, in 1975.

The question naturally arises: "What are safe sexual practices?" This is a tricky question to answer. The trickiness comes from the mounds of legal liability that come back to haunt anyone who had the chutzpah to step forward and declare some practice to be safe. Instead, safe becomes a matter of common sense.

While oral sex, including the swallowing of semen, has lately been considered by many self-appointed authorities to not be a vehicle for HIV, if you spend your days kneeling naked in the men's room of a porno store taking on all comers, this could never be considered a safe practice. There are people who behave this way and they risk infection from all manner of [[STD's]] as well as other diseases which are transmitted via urine, skin and blood. This leads us to the second unsafe sexual practice:

'''2.) Engaging in sexual contact with multiple partners and with unknown partners.'''

==Curiosity==

The numbers will eventually get you. It's a lottery and you stand a better chance of winning (losing really) if you have 365 entries a year instead of 3 or 4. You need to pick your partners carefully, and what you find out over cocktails in two hours is simply not enough information. Offering yourself as a [[Bukkake]] target in a bath house may sound thrilling as a fantasy, but it brings real dangers along for the reality ride. Of course, you might do stuff like this for years with no adverse results. Some people buy lottery tickets every week and never win either, but odds playing is a form of gambling, and at least in Lotto, you are only out a buck.

==Economy==

Next to masturbation, [[frottage]] (rubbing someones genitals through the clothing) is the least dangerous activity, although I guess you could get a rash. Lying naked together and manipulating each others genitals is usually OK, but penises get drippy and vaginas get wet and it all rubs off onto you. This may not be a problem unless you have a teeny tiny cut on your skin, or a rash, which then becomes an access point to your circulatory system. Licking and sucking are a major part of sex, and for the most part, healthy saliva and a generous dose of stomach acid will act as a bar to most viruses. If you recently flossed, however, you might have made a gum bleed a little and then, there's that superhighway right into your body again.

Florianópolis has his economy consolidated basically in the activities of the [[commerce]], installment of public service, [[industry]] of transformation and [[tourism]]. Lately, the industry of the clothing and to data processing you come becoming also sectors of exceptional development. The civil construction also is another one important economic activity of the city, with highlight for the beaches of the north region of the island (Jurerê, Jurerê Internacional, Canasvieiras e Ingleses).

===Tourism===

Everything discussed to this point simply requires your judicious screening of the candidate for your sexual fun. It would not be smart to tempt fate by [[giving head]] to a guy you just met on the day you had a wisdom tooth extracted. However, most people get to play this much without having to face death, if they are careful.

It considered by many inhabitants and tourists that it visit like holder of a singular beauty, endowed with strong lines of the Azorean culture, observed in the buildings, workmanship, in the folklore, culinary and in the religious traditions, Florianópolis has in the tourism one of his main springs of yield.

After this, things get a bit dicey. Deposits into the [[vagina]] and into the [[anal cavity]] are like injections into your body. These areas are rich in blood vessels and are uniquely equipped to engage in chemical transfers into the bloodstream. Ergo:

Among the attractive tourist of the capital highlight itself, at present, beyond the beaches, the localities where were installed the first communities of [[Azorean]] immigrants, as Stream of the Island, Pond of the Conception, Holy Antonio of [[Lisbon]] and the own historical center of the city.

==Education==

'''3.) Penetrating the vagina and anus without a condom.'''

[[Portuguese language]] is the official language of schools. But [[English language]] and [[Spanish language]] are part of the official [[high school]] curriculum.

===Colleges and universities===

This is a premier way to transfer any STD. [[Condoms]] are cheap, easy to use and do not impede sexual frenzy. In fact, virtually nothing impedes sexual frenzy. Latex and poly condoms protect against HIV, [[genital herpes]], and pregnancy. Natural [[lambskin condoms]] (like Fourex Brand) are good only against conception. Their membranes will pass disease. If you are unsure, read the package!

*[[Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina]] (UFSC);

*Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC);

*Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina (UNISUL);

*Universidade do Vale do Itajaí (UNIVALI), and more others.

Many people engage in the practice of [[barebacking]]. It is unsafe, unless you know the history of your partner. Always use a [[rubber]] and be (relatively) certain.

Taking anything into your body, by mouth or other orifice, compromises the integrity of your person. We take it so for granted by breathing, drinking, eating all the time, that we are not focused on the idea that we may be poisoned. Poisoning isn't only the realm of an old witch with a green potion. It can come in the form of a hot load from a hard cock, and be very desirable to you until the full effects are known. Therefore, we come to this last unsafe practice:

==Infrastructure==

'''4.) Openly engaging in sex without first clutching to your intellect.'''

===International Airport===

Florianópolis Airport has become in recent summers one of Brazil’s main destinations for national and international tourists. With capacity of 1.2 million users a year, in 2003 it received 1.28 million passengers.

The current passenger terminal has become modest for a city growing as quickly as Florianópolis. For this reason, the city will shortly receive a new airport able to serve 2.7 million passengers a year.

The architectural design of the new airport was chosen by a public competition held by Infraero in partnership with the Brazilian Architects Institute (IAB). This was the first time Infraero has employed a public competition to choose an airport terminal design.

Normally the projects for expansion and modernization of the 66 airports administered by Infraeor are done by public tender based on the needs, criteria and conditions presented by the company’s engineering area.

Among the over 150 original entries, the proposal of São Paulo architect Mário Bizelli was chosen. Begun in March 2004, the entries were first narrowed down to 71 designs actually presented, from which three finalists were shortlisted. The designs of Marcelo Consiglio Barbosa and Sérgio Parada were classified in second and third places respectively.

The construction work will be tendered in 2005 and should be finished in two years.

===Highways===
