One of the reasons that people are anxious about talking about sex before they have sex is because they’re worried that setting out their expectations will “ruin the mood”. We need to stop worrying about “ruining the mood”. You can’t ruin the mood. Ok, youcanruin the mood, but not by talking about sex, and not by checking in for explicit consent before kissing someone.
I had sex yesterday. Now, to be clear, I haven’t had in-person sex since February. I haven’t even had Skype sex for ten days, because my partners’ libidos haven’t matched up with mine. I did have sex yesterday though, getting myself off three times before I collapsed in a heap on my tangled sheets, lauding the brilliance of solo sex.
With the country in lockdown for the past few weeks and physical contact with new partners at an all time low - it’s the perfect time to get your sexual health in check.
So when is the ideal time to get checked after having sex? And how can you access those tests while you’re self-isolating?
