💚 From shame to self-responsibility
Sexuality was often moralized in the past. Today, the focus is shifting: health over morality , knowledge over myths , respect over assumptions . Modern relationships define intimacy not only through feelings, but also through responsibility.
- Normalization instead of drama: STIs are widespread and usually easily treatable.
- Equality: All genders share responsibility for prevention, testing & communication.
- Boundaries & Consensus: Open discussions are part of consent – as are wishes and boundaries.
"Talking about STIs ruins the mood."
Respectful honesty is attractive – it signals security, maturity, and care.
🔑 Self-determination: Knowledge makes you sovereign
Self-determination means making informed decisions about your body and your relationships. This includes clear information, low barriers, and discreet options.
Routine: Regular testing in new relationships or with changing partners.
Discretion: STI home tests offer a simple, anonymous way to get tested. Results are digital, without a waiting room.
💬 Communication: How to make talking easy (and sexy)
Honest conversations about testing and sexual health don't have to be difficult. It's all about the tone: approachable, calm, and solution-oriented .
3 ways to start a conversation
- "We-perspective": "It's important to me that we're both okay. Do you want to get tested together?"
- Based on facts: "Many infections go unnoticed. I think it would be good if we tested ourselves – purely as a precaution."
- Routine vs. exception: "I do this regularly because it gives me security. What do you think?"
Communication tips
- Ask open-ended questions (“How do you feel about this…?”)
- Share your own reasons ("I want to relax and enjoy myself without worrying in the back of my mind")
- Avoid assigning blame. Focus: Present & Future
"I thought the conversation would be awkward. But it was totally respectful. In the end, we ordered together, both got tested, and waited until the results were in."
