Safe Practices

For a lot of men, “I feel fine” has become a sexual health strategy. No burning, no discharge, no weird bumps? Then everything must be okay…right?

Not quite.

When it comes to sexually transmitted infections (STIs), especially for men who are sexually active with multiple partners or in non‑monogamous relationships, “no symptoms” does not mean “no infection.” Many of the most common STIs in men are frequently asymptomatic — you can have them, pass them on, and never know until there’s a complication or a partner tests positive.

Regular STI testing isn’t an optional extra. It’s a core part of men’s sexual health.

In the rush of daily life, it’s easy to take our partners for granted. Whether you’re in a monogamous relationship, exploring polyamory, or embracing the swinging lifestyle, gratitude is the secret ingredient that transforms good connections into extraordinary ones.

Now more than ever, we are seeing an increase in STI rates in the perimenopausal & menopausal ages. STI rates are significantly increasing among adults over 40, including perimenopausal and menopausal women, a demographic often mistakenly considered to be at low risk.

Did you know that sharing sex toys can actually transmit STIs just like sexual contact if you aren't careful? To keep things safe and hygienic, it's best to stick with non-porous materials like silicone or glass, since porous materials like rubber can trap nasty bacteria even after washing. If you do decide to share a toy or switch between body parts, make sure to wash it thoroughly with mild soap and warm water, or simply slip a fresh condom on it for extra protection. By keeping your gear clean and dry, you can focus on the fun without worrying about the risks!
