Sexual Health and Adulthood: Don’t Be Lazy When it Comes to Your Sex Life
Not asking simple questions
In addition to asking about the last time your sex partner got tested, there are other very basic, very simple questions that all adults should feel comfortable asking the person who they let inside of them (or who they enter – whichever end of the equation you are). One of those questions is: “Are you sleeping with anybody else?” It’s such a simple thing to ask someone before you stop using condoms with that partner. And yet, so many people refuse to ask it.
Other questions to consider include: “Are you planning to have sex with anyone else?, or “Do you want to try …?” Because consent is always important at any stage of your adult life.
