Sex in Check Episode 17 - STI's and What You Need to Know
In this episode of Sex in Check , we take an honest, judgment-free look at sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and what you can actually do to reduce your risk while still enjoying a healthy and satisfying sex life. We discuss some of the most common STIs including HPV, herpes (HSV-1 and HSV-2), chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV and explain how they are transmitted, why many infections can go unnoticed, and why regular testing, communication, and informed choices are such important parts of sexual health. We discuss what symptoms to look for and why many people do not know they are infected because they lack the symptoms. We also explore the many ways to practice safer sex and enjoy intimacy. This episode discusses latex and non-latex condoms , dental dams , and different types of lubricants including water-based , hybrid , and silicone-based formulas —and how choosing the right products can make safer sex more comfortable and pleasurable. We also talk about sex toys designed for masturbation and why masturbation can be a healthy, enjoyable alternative to partnered sex or simply another way to experience sexual pleasure while avoiding the risk of transmitting an STI to a partner. Whether you're single, dating, in a long-term relationship, or simply looking to become more informed about your sexual health, this episode of Sex in Check is about replacing fear and stigma with knowledge, protection, communication, and confidence.
