Most people are under the false impression that if they contract a sexually transmitted infection, they will know. They couldn’t be more wrong. The fact is that many of the most common STIs don’t even have visible symptoms or signs, in most, if not all the people that get infected! Or they experience signs that are so mild that they are overlooked. This is the main reason why the word ‘Disease’ in STDs is being replaced by ‘Infection’, STIs. When it comes to STIs, a lot of people feel embarrassed to even consider going to the clinic for the exam, filling out the form, and speak to their doctor. This very behavior of most young adults has led to a trend of privately getting tested for STIs online. To Be…

Commonly known as STDs, Sexually Transmitted Diseases are spread by having unsafe sex with someone who is already infected. This can involve anal, oral or vaginal sex. According to a research conducted by the American Social Health Organization, one teenager out of every four adolescents is infected with an STD each year. By the time the younger generation reaches the age of 25, approximately half of this population will be infected.

Well, oral hygiene is the first step for healthy teeth and better breath and while most people think they partake in a healthy practice, issues like bad brushing, dry mouth, and even tooth infection can stand…

What the hell is Sexting? Is it dirty talk in texts, is it like phone sex but via text, is it sending nudey photos? I really don’t know but what I do know is that young people today are far more foot loose and fancy free when it comes to all things sex related than they were ten years ago. Along with a huge increase in STI rates over the last ten years, there has also been a corresponding, and perhaps related, cultural shift in attitudes towards sex. Ten years ago I was at university, where I was still perfecting my french kiss and thinking carefully about taking my relationship at that time, to the next level. I’m not talking about a  saccharin sweet ‘losing my flower’ sort of moment…
