Lets Talk About Sex | 4 Strong Communication Tips for Gay Couples Struggling With Sexual Issues

Many of us are comfortable talking about sex with friends. We divulge details, share tips and tricks, and even get advice on aspects of our strained sex lives. Talking openly and honestly with our sexual partners, however, comes with a higher level of discomfort. Talking with transparency comes with the risk of hurting our partners’ feelings, embarrassing ourselves, and asking for things that experience selfish, and it forces us to be vulnerable about the parts of ourselves many of us try to hide: our naked, sexual bodies.

Psychological analyze shows that couples who talk openly about sex record higher levels of relational satisfaction. How, though, do couples talk about sex so easily?

Tip #1: Spend Time Destigmatizing Sex, Sexual Exercise, and Sexual Body Parts.

One of the best ways to work through the discomfort of sexuality is to choose up a sex guidebook that can help you study more about your body, sex, and sexuality in general. Some of my personal favorite books on this topic are Esther Perel’s Mating in Captivity and Janet Hardy’s The Ethical Slut. Books like these will help

Tips for Healthy Homosexual Sex

Sex is complete of risks, and some sex acts are more risky than others. We’ll show you how you can diminish your risks for contracting HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) while enjoying a sound sex life.

Anal Sex

Whether you’re topping or bottoming, anal sex is a high-risk activity for contracting HIV and other STIs. Here are tips to assure you’re having reliable, and fun, anal sex:

  • Use condoms. When used effectively, latex or polyisoprene condoms are the finest way to prohibit the spread of HIV and other STIs. Avoid oil-based lubricants and only wear one condom at a moment to prevent them from tearing. Be sure to confirm the expiration dine on your condom – don’t leverage an expired condom!
  • Use plenty of lube, perhaps more than you think. Lube prevents tears from occurring on the head of your penis or the inside of your rectum.
  • Pull out. We don’t recommend barebacking (having anal sex without a condom), but if you find yourself having sex without a condom, pulling out can reduce the risk of exposure to HIV for the bottoming partner.
  • Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis or PrEP is a vital tool in the HIV prevention toolbox. PrEP is a once-a-day pill

    Sexual health for queer and bisexual men

    Having unprotected penetrative sex is the most likely way to pass on a sexually transmitted infection (STI).

    Using a condom helps safeguard against HIV and lowers the risk of getting many other STIs.

    If you’re a man having sex with men (MSM), without condoms and with someone fresh, you should have an STI and HIV assess every 3 months, otherwise, it should be at least once a year. This can be done at a sexual health clinic (SHC) or genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic. This is important, as some STIs do not produce any symptoms.

    Hepatitis A

    Hepatitis A is a liver infection that's spread by a virus in poo.

    Hepatitis A is uncommon in the UK but you can acquire it through sex, including oral-anal sex ("rimming") and giving oral sex after anal sex. MSM with multiple partners are particularly at risk. You can also get it through contaminated food and drink.

    Symptoms of hepatitis A can emerge up to 8 weeks after sex and contain tiredness and feeling sick (nausea).

    Hepatitis A is not usually life-threatening and most people make a packed recovery within a couple of months.

    MSM can dodge getting hepatitis A by:

    • washing hands after se

      LGBTQIA+ Safer Sex Guide

      Zero.

      Disgracefully, that’s the number of U.S. states that require sex education curriculums be comprehensively inclusive to LGBTQIA+ folks.

      Most sex education programs, instead, assume that those receiving the information are both heterosexual and cisgender. If there’s anything less cute than clogs, it’s that degree of homophobia and transphobia.

      That’s why we worked with GLSEN, Advocates for Youth, and two queer sex educators to create a safer sex guide that understands the correct complexity and diversity across gender identities, sexual orientation, attractions, and experiences.

      Only 5 (ish) percent of LGBTQIA+ students saw any LGBTQIA+ representation in health class.

      This guide is for the 95 percent of students whose many sexual health questions went unanswered in school.

      It’s also for any LGBTQIA+ person who’s ever wondered:

      • “What conversations should I have with a partner before sex?”
      • “Is there a chance of pregnancy or STI transmission during [insert sex act here]?”
      • “What can I do to make sex even better?”
      • “How do I become comfortable with my own body?”
