Sexually transmitted infections – Say goodbye
The most well-known consequence of unprotected sex is HIV infection. Even in this regard, many gays are not yet fully informed and this is exactly what we want to make up for. STDs are more than just HIV, however; from non-specific urethritis to scabies, there are many things you can catch during sex. Before you lose the fun of sex, treat yourself to our helpful guide and find out more about possible dangers and protection options.
The diversity of STIs
Many STIs are not transmitted due to carelessness, but due to a lack of information. You don’t have to be ashamed if you’ve never heard of trichomonads or don’t fully realise which diseases are actually transmitted during a blowjob . No one is born omniscient, so it’s important that you educate yourself. We give you the right answers from gay men for gay men. Our blog on STIs at Tom Rocket’s provides you with comprehensive information on the different types of STIs, their symptoms and treatment options.
Prevention and protective measures
Crabs on the sack sound fun at first, until you are affected by them yourself. The same applies to genital warts, which often appear in the genital area and can be quite annoying. No doctor in the world is going to tell you about all these dangers before you have sex for the first time. What’s more, unfortunately many gays are still ashamed of their questions or are stigmatised because of their sexuality. It’s different with us. Here you can find information completely anonymously and get important input yourself. Our articles provide you with comprehensive information on how you can protect yourself and your partner. Learn how to use condoms and personal lubricants correctly and which additional protective measures are useful.
Dealing with infections and treatments
Even with the best precautions, you can still contract an STI. It is important that you know how to deal with it and what steps you need to take. Our articles offer you helpful tips on how to recognise infections and what treatment options are available. We explain how to prepare for a visit to the doctor and what questions you should ask to get the best possible treatment.
Mental health and stigma
STIs are often associated with shame and stigma, making it difficult for many people to talk about them and seek help. At Tom Rocket’s, we want to break this stigma and show you that talking about sexual health is normal and important.
