Merry SeXmas!
Christmas parties and mistletoe may get you rocking around the Christmas tree – but remember that alcohol can cloud your judgement when it comes to safe sex! So, if you’re cosying up to potential sexual partners, be wary that some gifts aren’t worth receiving…
Our top tips to remember this Christmas are:
Wrap up – Protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unplanned pregnancy by using a condom every time you have sex.
Sleigh STIs – Visit a clinic for testing and treatment if you have unprotected sex.
Fill your stockings – Ensure you have enough condoms and contraceptive pills to last you the Festive period.
Avoid unwanted gifts – If you’re cosying up to potential sexual partners, discuss your boundaries and use condoms to protect each other other from STIs such as chlamydia, syphilis and gonorrhoea
‘Elf control – Stay in control of yourself when drinking and stick to the recommended 14 weekly alcohol units (spread over 7 days). This will avoid being influenced into making rash decisions when it comes to sex, such as not using a condom.
Festive opening times – Our clinics across Wakefield, Barnsley and Wigan & Leigh will slightly alter opening times over Christmas and New Year. Please click below to ensure you visit a clinic before any full day closures.
