SEXUAL HEALTH ENGLISH “DIRTY TALK”, BUT SAFE: TALKING ABOUT STI Finally summer, finally we can relax. This also means getting through the next few months not only without a Covid-19 infection, but also without a sexually transmitted infection (STI). In addition to a negative Covid-19 antigen test, why not also have a clarifying conversation about STIs and start off the summer with carefree pleasures? OPEN QUESTIONS, RELIABLE ANSWERS Many of us will find it easier to speak openly about sex than STIs. Yet talks about preferences and agreements during sex should include talking about STIs. Such dialogues can also be practiced with familiar partners or friends in order to become more confident in communication. KNOWLEDGE PROTECTS It is sexy to have knowledge of transmission ways and prevention options that enable a factual and unexcited conversation. Good to know that ... • most STIs are transmitted through unprotected anal, oral, or vaginal intercourse. • Infection through shared sex toys is also possible. • Many STIs are symptom-free and only regular tests provide clarity.
