Frequently Asked Questions
Hygiene Before Sex
Washing your hands is the most important step. A gentle rinse of the intimate area with warm water is sufficient – avoid scented soaps that can disrupt the natural pH balance.
Hygiene After Sex
A classic but essential tip: Going to the bathroom after sex helps flush bacteria from the urethra and prevents urinary tract infections (Honeymoon Cystitis).
Cleaning Toys
Wash toys after every use with mild soap and warm water or a specialized toy cleaner. Pay attention to the material: Silicone toys should not be used with silicone-based lubricant.
Protection & Barriers
Condoms and dental dams protect against STIs. Always check the expiration date and ensure the correct size. Oil-based lubricants can damage latex condoms.
Communicating Boundaries
Talk about desires and boundaries beforehand. A 'no' is always okay and doesn't need a reason. Consent is an ongoing process.
Mindful Masturbation
To prevent desensitization, it's important to vary stimuli. Use different techniques, focus on gentle touch, and stay mentally present. Avoid rushing or always using high-intensity stimuli – this keeps your body receptive to subtle sensations and prevents a 'numbing' effect.
