Prioritize your sexual well-being without hesitation. Don’t let its overwhelming nature scare you away. Your sexual well-being deserves some serious attention, just like your physical and mental health. We’re talking pleasure! No more hush-hush. But where do you even start? How do you have those juicy conversations about sex with your partner? And hey, don’t forget the importance of lube (we all need it, trust me!).

Do your research

Let’s spill the tea on the stigma surrounding sex and how to rise above it. Unfortunately, our society still loves to shame young folks for having premarital sex, making it a challenge to access proper sexual health facilities. Ugh, talk about a major buzzkill! But guess what? We won’t let that stop us.
Now, let’s get down and dirty with your body. It’s not just about culture; it’s about your overall well-being. In this age of cyber knowledge, the internet is your ultimate BFF. Go ahead and search for information on sexual health, and don’t limit yourself to your local clinics. Explore what sexual health clinics worldwide have to offer. Trust me, it’s like a global gossip session that you don’t want to miss!

Listen to your body

But wait, there’s more to it than just online research. You gotta get up close and personal with your own body. Just like how doctors tell you to keep an eye out for any unusual lumps in your breasts, you gotta show some love to your nether regions too. Take a good look, pay attention to smells and discharges (yes, we’re getting real here), and tune in to what your body is telling you.

Power of lube

Now, let’s tackle the burning question: Does sex have to hurt? Absolutely not. Don’t suffer in silence just because you have a vagina. That’s where lube becomes your secret weapon. Insufficient lubrication is often the culprit behind painful vaginal intercourse. So, before you dive into the action, make sure you’re feeling relaxed and aroused. And hey, don’t forget about the magical power of clitoral stimulation. It can work wonders in getting your vagina in the mood for some fun.

Talk about it

Let’s not forget your partner. Communication is everything. Talk to them, take it slow, and be open about any discomfort you experience. Never feel obligated to go along with something that doesn’t feel right. If you’re dealing with persistent pain during penetration or any sort of vaginal insertion (even with a tampon), it’s time to book an appointment with your gynaecologist.
Let’s dish about involving your partner in this steamy sexual wellness journey. Awkward? Maybe. Necessary? Definitely! Whether you’re in a new relationship or a long-term commitment, it’s time for some real talk about sexual history and those not-so-fun sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Fun fact: more than half of the population has dealt with an STI. Some are treatable, some are painful, and some are downright life-threatening like HIV/AIDS.


Having these conversations might make you squirm a little, but don’t worry it gets better. If you’re still getting to know your partner or starting a fresh romance, prepare a cute little script in your head, like, “Hey, I can’t wait for our sexy adventures, but I’d like to talk about it.
