Everything about sexual health
Howdy Space Cowboy!
Sexual health for everyone!
What does health actually have to do with sex? Quite a lot, and it’s not just about protecting yourself from STIs with a condom. Sexual health is an important topic that revolves around your health. Hygiene is just as important a factor as potential STIs. Although we can’t replace doctors and can only provide you with basic knowledge, we can provide you with the most important answers to questions about your sexual health.
The importance of sexual health
Although there are many educational programmes available today, even these do not answer all your questions. Some are so specific that not even Google has an answer. Since we as a gay community have the necessary insider knowledge, it is important for us to share it with you. Be aware – there is no topic to be ashamed of. Whether it’s haemorrhoids on your arse or itching on your cock, there are no taboos at Tom Rocket’s, because we stand for education and sharing knowledge. Our Sexual Health Blog offers you a comprehensive collection of articles that inform you about all aspects of your sexual health.
Our four sub-sections
Our Sexual Health section is divided into four sub-sections that will educate you, provide you with guidance and, ultimately, contact addresses for any health-related difficulties. These areas are
- Prevention and hygiene: Here you can find out all about safer sex, the correct use of condoms and the importance of hygiene. Tips on avoiding infections and maintaining your sexual health are a focus of this section.
- Sexually transmitted diseases and STIs: This section informs you about the different sexually transmitted infections, their symptoms and treatment options. We offer you knowledge about preventing and dealing with STIs so that you can protect yourself and your partner.
- Mental health and well-being: Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Here you’ll find articles on dealing with pressure to perform, sexual stress and the psychological effects of sex. We offer advice on how to improve your wellbeing and increase your sexual satisfaction.
- Advice and testimonials: In this section, our community members share their personal experiences and give you practical tips for everyday life. You can find out how other gays deal with problems and challenges and benefit from their advice.
The way to the doctor
Please remember that no post can replace a visit to the doctor. If you feel ill or have new symptoms, confide in your doctor. Whether your cock is itchy or your balls are suddenly swollen, there’s no need to feel embarrassed at the doctor, he’s there to help you. Our articles can help you to be better informed and prepare for the consultation with your doctor.
Sexual health and hygiene
Hygiene is an important aspect of sexual health. Find out how to take proper care of yourself to avoid infections and unpleasant odours.
