Talking to your doctor about sexual health

Does the thought of talking to your doctor about sexual health give you butterflies or send a shiver down your spine?
Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Here’s our top tips to make chatting to your doctor about sex a whole lot easier.

Want a session you’ll never forget?

1. Talk

Talking about sex, makes the actual sex better. Share what you like and don’t like.

2. Laugh

Let’s face it. Sex has its funny moments. Ever bumped your head? Fanny farted? Yep. There’s only one response. You know it.

3. Get tested

It can be as simple as one quick pee into a cup every 6-12 months and you’re done. Regular testing a healthy and confident sex life.

4. Wear a condom

Condoms are the only contraception that protect against both pregnancy and STIs. And they can help make a man last longer. #winning

Where’s the clitoris on a woman? What about the man’s perineum? Get to know your body.

Sex should be fun not stressful. Deep breath aaaaaand relax.

10. Enjoy

Sex is supposed to be fun. Keep safe and carry on.
