As January comes to a close, a lot of resolutions
have already fallen to the wayside. We get it. You’re busier than ever and the
aspirational goals you set at the beginning of the year feel delusional now.
This is your reminder that taking care of yourself doesn’t have to be hard work. And, in fact, sexual wellness can be fun! Here are some quick and easy ways to practice taking care of your sexual health this new year that don’t feel like hard work.
1. Protect Yourself
Make sure this 2025 that all your sex is safe sex. That means having a plan to keep you safe, wherever this year takes you. Stock up on condoms. Condoms don’t just keep you safe. They can enrich your sex, too! Flavored, studded or ribbed? Glow in the dark? We’ve even got pleasure extending condoms that help your fun last all night. Talk to your doctor to find out if PrEP can help keep you protected this year.
2. Move Your Body
Maybe you’ve heard this one before and just rolled your eyes? We get it, but it’s true. Physical activity can improve sexual function, libido and more. We know what you’re picturing: an expensive gym membership that you use for 2 days and forget about or an exercise bike that turns into a clothes rack. It doesn’t have to be like that! Even moderate physical activity like yoga in the park, a walk with friends or dancing can have major benefits. Just focus on moving your body in ways that feel fun and intuitive.
3. Embrace Your Community
This year is your year to find your people. Being surrounded by an open, accepting community can reduce feelings of shame and stigma. Whether you’re freshly out of the closet or an ‘elder gay’ you’ll find that connecting with community does wonders to improve your mental and sexual wellness.
4. Get Off!
Alright, we saved the best one for last.
Here’s the easiest, most fun and impactful way you can take care of your
sexual wellness this year: bust one! Just the simple act of having a big “O”
can boost your immune system, help manage stress, improve sleep, and enhance
your confidence. Have sex. Masturbate. Buy a new toy. There’s a million ways to
do it and they’ll all feel great. (And this is way more achievable than
giving up coffee, right?)
