Hey, thanks for sharing @alwaysontheline! I’m pretty sure this is a common experience. I think @nursenettie could have some good advice for you 🙂

trayl_blayza replied to the topic When to tell someone you have an STI in the forum Sexual Health 2 years, 8 months ago

Thanks for the thread @YogiGirl. I think it also depends on the type of relationship – you’d probably have a different approach for someone you were keen to keep things going with, and you wanted to start things off with openness, and trust 🙂

If it were only casual or a fling, it might be easier to make sure you make best efforts to reduce…[Read more]

trayl_blayza replied to the topic Have you ever had a condom break? What did you do? in the forum Sexual Health 2 years, 8 months ago

Great question @PotPlant! It can be a bit awkward! It’s good to have spares in case a break or a slip off happens 🙂

trayl_blayza replied to the topic Facing rejection when dating in the forum Sex & Relationships 2 years, 11 months ago

Hey @yogigirl, I’m sorry to hear your experience, it sucks! It can be a bit of a minefield, or battleground dating rn. Its important to know what’s your stuff, and what’s the other person’s, so you can separate yourself from external negativity. This one is clearly the other guys!

I think its important to have your good self care techniques built…[Read more]

trayl_blayza replied to the topic STI specific dating apps in the forum Sex & Relationships 2 years, 12 months ago

Hey @aunt_flo and @yogigirl! I agree its an interesting concept, that probably plays a part for some people.

But wouldn’t it be great if we lived in a society where such a concept wasn’t needed! There wasn’t any shame or stigma about STIs, and we all just accepted each other for who we are, rather than whether we’ve come into contact with a…[Read more]

trayl_blayza replied to the topic Spill the beans. What’s your best or worst dating story? in the forum Sexual Health 3 years, 1 month ago

@aunt_flo Meeting the parents on a first date!?!? What’s with that?? Though not sure which is more awkward – that or being recruited to a cult… 🙂

trayl_blayza replied to the topic Chlamydia – First hand experiences? in the forum Sexual Health 3 years, 2 months ago

Hi @potplant!

Great question. I can’t talk from first hand experience, but a lot of people I know have also been diagnosed before. Most of them it came as a bit of a shock, as they hadn’t had any symptoms, and just found out by getting a test. A couple of them said they had unusual symptoms, or something that didn’t feel right, after having had…[Read more]

trayl_blayza replied to the topic Sex During Covid – What is everyone doing? in the forum Sex & Relationships 3 years, 2 months ago

Yes I saw that story, and Play Safe COVID page has just posted similar advice! I find the masks I’ve been wearing recently on public transport and around the city restrict my breathing, especially when walking fast, so I’m not sure how comfortable this would be for sex.

I also heard an expert saying that it has to be a proper COVID-protective…[Read more]

trayl_blayza replied to the topic I'm not really sure what to do or where to go from here in the forum Sex & Relationships 3 years, 3 months ago

Hey @wakwaka123

Thanks for sharing your story – its not always easy to do, but its a helpful step to feeling better, and taking steps in the direction you feel is right for you…

I agree your story isn’t so unusual, the internet provides so many ways to connect with others, especially sexually! And it can become a replacement for real life…[Read more]
