Safety for Sexual Health is Super Sexy

How sexy would it be if you can trust your lovers that they will speak up and share around conscious sexuality and sexual health openly?

Maybe this ain’t your biggest turn on (yet), but for sure it is one of mine:

My latest lover and I went on a walk some weeks ago. It wasn’t clear that we will be lovers, yet one could cut the air filled with passion and attraction. As we walked along and talked about life, he stopped and took a deep breath. He began: ‘Sharing this isn’t easy for me, but it’s crucial for you to understand”.

My being shrug and I thought for a moment: ‘oho this ain’t go well…’

He then shared with me that he has HPV infection, specifically the type that causes genital warts. He added that he understood if this might lead me to refrain from further intimacy with him.

I glimmered from within, filled with so much love for this being. Hell yes, this sets the mood perfectly for more, and no, it’s definitely not a deal breaker.

Some years ago, I myself contracted a type of HPV infection. I supported my body in healing and releasing the virus, yet it changed my whole perspective around walking the bedroom talk. I don’t have any warts right now, so it may have disappeared…’ but it hadn’t. Today, I view it as a gift to have been infected with an STI, as I’ve come to understand more about the significance of this important topic and the importance of raising awareness through honest and open conversations about STIs.

Unfortunately, we live in a society with a lack of information around sexual transmitted infections and their transmissions. There is little routine around STI test, however most of us are quite fluid in their sexual encounters – special thanks to Tinder and other dating apps. 🙂

Yet many behave as if they would live the life of our grandparents, with one lifetime sexual partner, don’t think about it, don’t test, and certainly don’t talk about it.

I know how scary it is, when you need to share about an STI. We usually feel a strong fear of abandonment.

But the truth is NO STI is a deal-breaker.

Most important is that we inform ourselves how can we safely navigate despite an STI.

Together with my partner, we established boundaries within a safer sex framework to minimize transmission risk and avoid reinfection.. This means no direct genital to genital touch, no rubbing, no penetration. Transmission of HPV via oral sex is highly unlikely. “Establishing boundaries in our intimacy encourages creativity, fostering conscious sexuality as we explore varied ways to engage and indulge.

Conscious Sexuality is a new paradigm of sexuality with which we can make a significant change in society, including the education around sexual health and the cultivation of an open conversation around it.

The times when cowardice and hiding any diseases were practiced are gone… Honesty and transparency are the qualities to embody as to create real intimacy.

This goes not only for beings having an STI, but also for those who don’t. Bringing this topic on the table supports to normalise and de-stigmatize STIs.

We must embody the change we seek, exposing societal shadows by openly addressing them, ushering them into the light.

We at BliXX want to see a world where people openly discuss STIs and are well-educated about them. Therefore, we have created a Safer Sex for Body, Mind, and Soul booklet to share crucial information around this sensitive topic and provide each of you with the opportunity to educate yourselves and embrace conscious sexuality in a different way.
