You want to give your loved one something to remember on Valentine’s Day, but there’s one surprise that no one wants.
Many of us will be planning an evening’s romancing this coming Friday, and hoping that things head to the boudoir if all goes to plan. It’s a night for lovers after all.
However, while getting the meal right and making sure the music playlist is perfect and captures the mood, there’s one crucial ingredient that you should always remember to have on hand not just on Valentine’s Day, but any time you’re headed to the bedroom, and that’s protection.
In Ireland, one STI that’s trending right now, and not in a good way, is gonorrhoea . You can get gonorrhoea from having unprotected sex, including oral sex, and you can have it without showing any symptoms. Numbers have gone up for both men and women, and getting tested is a great way to make sure that you don’t give your partner an unforgettable Valentine’s Day for all the wrong reasons. The process of getting tested is both free and painless, and using condoms is the best way to prevent the spread of STIs. There’s loads more information available at www.yoursexualhealth.ie where you can find out plenty of advice and help on any sexual health issue.
