New year, same s*xual health-conscious you! 🪩🧪💖
Start 2026 off right -- by knowing your STI status! 🤗 S*xually transmitted infections are a really normal part of life and health for people who are s*xually active. Over 50% of adults in the US will have an STI at some point, and despite the strong stigma against STIs, having an STI does NOT mean that you are "dirty" or "unclean". Many STIs are curable, and those that aren't (like HIV, for example) are considered VERY manageable with medications! 💊 Don't let the media fool you -- people who have/had STIs can still have healthy and fulfilling s*x lives! 😉
Depending on the types of s*x you have, your STI screening may include a urine sample, a blood sample, and/or a throat/vaginal/rectal swab. We understand the important of comfort and bodily autonomy in your healthcare experience -- you are welcome to complete your own swabs in the privacy of one of our clinic restrooms! 😊
❓Did you know? For folks who are s*xually active, routine STI screening is recommended about every 3 months, or with each new s*xual partner! Each patient at Lovering receives individualized care that addresses their specific wants, needs, and s*xual history. We are committed to providing compassionate and straightforward care to folks all across the spectrum of s*xuality, gender, and s*xual experiences! No judgment and no assumptions -- just kind, competent care. 🫶 Call us to schedule your appointment! 🗓

Lovering is committed to providing safe, destigmatized, and compassionate care to s*x workers. ❤
S*x work is the exchange of s*xual services for money or something of value (erotic dancing, adult film actors, B**M workers, full service s*x work, etc.). S*x work is WORK, and s*x workers deserve to engage in consensual services between adults without fear of violence, discrimination, or legal persecution. 👊

One way to work toward destigmatizing all kinds of s*x work and make the world safer for s*x workers is to shift how we talk about it! Here are some examples:

✅Use "s*x worker" and "s*x work" -- this language reflects a level of autonomy and empowerment (as opposed to terms like ❌ "pr******te", "prostitution", or euphemisms like "working girl", which have negative and criminalized historical connotations).

✅Use "full service s*x work(er)" when referring to s*x workers who have direct s*xual contact with clients (i.e. oral s*x, vaginal s*x, a**l s*x, and/or s*x involving hands or fingers).

✅Use "online s*x work(er)" when referring to s*x workers who primarily or exclusively engage in s*x work online, like OnlyFans and similar platforms. ❌ Avoid terms like "cam girl", which are often used in a derogatory or belittling way.

✅Use "clients" or "customers" as opposed to terms like ❌ "johns" or "tricks" -- this puts emphasis on the fact that s*x workers are providing a consensual s*xual service between adults, and is rooted in the reality that s*x work is WORK.

❌DON'T assume someone's gender, pronouns, or s*xuality based on the fact that they are a s*x worker. People of all genders, s*xualities, and backgrounds engage in s*x work. The gender(s) of a s*x worker's clients often have nothing to do with their own gender or who they are attracted to; s*x work is a job and they are providing a service.

What is this feeling? Friction burn, probably. 🌾🫣
Vaginal, vulvar, or a**l irritation from friction can be sooooo uncomfy, and for people with vaginas can even lead to vaginitis infections like yeast or bacterial vaginosis. While l**e may not improve Fiyero's pokey straw p***s sitch, for people made of flesh and bone it can be a total lifesaver! 💦
L**e is typically available in water-based, oil-based, or silicone-based varieties, and everyone has a different preference for how they feel, etc. It's important to know that if using a latex condoms for STI and/or pregnancy prevention that you should NOT use oil-based l**e, as it can compromise the latex material and cause breakage. Polyurethane condoms can be used with any type of l**e! 👏
ALSO, if you're using a silicone s*x toy, like a vi****or or d***o, we recommend avoiding using silicone l**e as it can cause the material to break down over time. 🍆

Do you find winter cozy or chaotic? ☕❄️
Whether or not you celebrate any winter holidays, we hope that you're able to rest and care for yourself this season! 🤗 Make that appointment you've been putting off, repeat those affirmations, and make time to indulge in a little self care (if you can) -- you deserve care and comfort! ☃ And if you're struggling through the winter, you're not alone. Celebrate the small wins: did you wash a dish? 🍽 Hell yeah! Spent some time with loved ones? 💜 Woohoo! Said "no" to something that was outside of your capacity? ❌ YEAH YA DID! 👏

Did you know? Indie clinics provide the majority of abortion care in the United States! 🤯It's true!
Additionally, independent clinics are essential for maintaining access to care throughout pregnancy -- 63% of clinics that provide abortion care past the first trimester are independent. That number increases to 85% of abortion care provided at or after 22 weeks of pregnancy, and 100% after 26 weeks of pregnancy! While we support any person exercising their right to not be pregnant regardless of other factors, including pregnancy gestation, it's important to also keep in mind that the vast majority of abortion care at higher pregnancy gestation is due to fatal fetal anomalies (meaning that the pregnancy will not survive outside the womb due to abormalities in development) or direct threat to the life or health of the pregnant person. Access to any pregnancy-related care is a human right, and folks should not have to travel long distances or pay exorbitant fees to access the care they want and/or need. ✨
Since Roe V. Wade was overturned in June 2022, one HUNDRED independent clinics have been forced to close. Why? As of October 2025, 12 states ban abortion completely, six states ban abortion sometime in the first trimester, and another 23 states ban abortion at a different arbitrary point in pregnancy, including NH with a ban on abortion after 24 weeks. 👎
What can you do to help? Follow and support independent clinics like Lovering, Equality Health Center, Mabel Wadsworth Center, and Maine Family Planning! Keep an eye out for the official Communities Need Clinics 2025 report from Abortion Care Network! Donate your money/time/energy! Share abortion information from reputable sources with people in your social network! Keep talking about abortion and the importance of accessible, compassionate, and affirming care! 💜
