You can lead a normal, health life after a positive herpes diagnosis.

Here are a few facts:

πŸ‘‰Herpes is a virus.
πŸ‘‰Herpes affects about 1/5 adults.
πŸ‘‰It is spread through close skin contact, typically during s*xual activity.
πŸ‘‰You cannot catch herpes from toilet seats, hot tubs, or any other objects.
πŸ‘‰Once exposed to the virus, herpes never leaves your body; however, not everyone who is exposed will develop symptoms.
πŸ‘‰The most common symptoms of an active herpes outbreak are small, fluid-filled blisters on the ge****ls, buttocks, or mouth. They typically are very painful and may burn.
πŸ‘‰Herpes cannot be cured, but the symptoms can be treated. With the use of medications, most patients are able to lead a normal, healthy life despite the diagnosis.

Feeling overwhelmed by stress? Why not try some s*xual healing? Engaging in intimate activities actually releases endorphins, those magical little chemicals that can help lower your stress levels. However, it's important to note that high cortisol levels, which are often associated with stress, can hinder your ability to reach or**sm. So, while s*x may be a great stress reliever, it's important to find ways to manage and reduce stress in other areas of your life as well.

Sexual Aftercare, a term that may sound unfamiliar to some, is essentially the practice of caring for oneself and one's partner after a s*xual encounter. It goes beyond just the physical act and delves into the emotional and psychological aspect of s*xual health. So, what exactly should you do after getting intimate? Well, it really depends on the individual and their preferences. Some might opt for cuddling and talking about their experience, while others may find solace in taking a relaxing bath or indulging in some self-care activities. The key is to prioritize open communication, mutual consent, and ensuring both partners feel safe and supported.

The Antidote to shame is empathy and transparency

Let's talk about how to manage shameβ€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή

Shame can manifest as painful feelings of humiliation or distress similar to embarrassment. Practicing and experiencing empathy + transparency in relationships can help counteract shame that may arise from past experiences or internal narratives.

Here are a few ways to build empathy + transparency in relationships:

πŸ’« Speak honestly about your needs, wants and expectations
πŸ’« Ask questions for clarity and get curious about others' experiences
πŸ’« Practice active listening and validating others' emotions
πŸ’« Share information about yourself freely and openly

What are your favourite ways to build empathy and transparency in relationships?

Today is World Diabetes Day, and while diabetes primarily affects the body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels, it can also have an impact on s*xual health. High blood sugar levels over a prolonged period of time can lead to complications such as neuropathy, which affects the nerves and blood vessels that supply blood to the s*xual organs. As a result, reduced blood flow to these areas can lead to a decrease in sensation and potential loss of feeling in the ge****ls. It's important to be aware of these potential issues and seek appropriate medical advice if needed.

When it comes to s*xual health and relationships, it's essential to remember that they are built on the foundation of the 5 "R"s.

🌸 Romance is what ignites the flame between two individuals, creating a deep connection.
🌸 Resilience is what helps us weather the storms that come our way, allowing us to endure and grow stronger together.
🌸 Respect is the key to cherishing one another, honouring each other's boundaries and needs.
🌸 Through reinforcement, we constantly support and encourage each other's personal growth.
🌸 Reciprocity ensures that there is a balance in giving and receiving love, creating a harmonious partnership.

It is these "Rs" that lay the groundwork for a healthy and fulfilling relationship journey.
