September is Sexual Health Awareness Month, a time to reflect, reconnect, and reignite our understanding of what it means to feel safe, informed, and empowered in our bodies and in the bedroom.
When we talk about sexual health, it’s easy to think only of check-ups or clinics. But at Flirt Adult Store, we believe sexual health is also about feeling good, communicating honestly, respecting boundaries, and embracing pleasure. Safe sex is sexy sex, and being proactive about your sexual wellbeing creates space for confidence, trust, and deeper connection.
This month, we’re inviting you to take a fresh look at sexual health, beyond the basics, and explore how knowledge, consent, and curiosity can lead to more satisfying, safe and exciting experiences.
Safer Sex Made Simple: Everyday Tips for Comfortable, Confident Play
You don’t need to overhaul your bedroom routine to make it safer, just a few simple practices can make a big difference in how you experience intimacy.
Use the Right Lubricant
Lube reduces friction, prevents discomfort, and enhances sensation. It also protects against micro-tears, which can increase risk of STI transmission. Whether solo or partnered, lube is your best friend.
-
Wicked Aqua Sensitive Lube: Water-based, glycerine-free, and perfect for sensitive skin. Safe with all toys and condoms.
-
System Jo Xtra Silky Thin Silicone Lube: Long-lasting and ideal for water play or extended sessions.
Choose Barriers That Work for You
From condoms to dental dams, barriers help protect against STIs and give peace of mind. They're also a great way to explore new partners or fantasies responsibly.
-
Four Seasons Naked Condoms – Ultra-thin and Australian-made for a natural feel.
-
Glyde Dams – Vegan-friendly, latex dental dams in fun flavours for safer oral play.
Communicate Before You Play
A simple check-in can completely transform your experience. Before trying something new, like a new position, a toy, or kinkier play, ask, “How does this sound to you?” or “Want to try something different together?”
Why Talking About Sexual Health Matters
When you’re confident to talk openly about your sexual health, magic happens:
-
Stigma fades: Conversations create understanding, and understanding leads to less judgment.
-
Trust builds: When partners share their likes, limits, and health info, it strengthens the connection.
-
Pleasure increases: When you're not worried about protection or discomfort, you’re more relaxed, and that means more arousal, more connection, and more orgasms.
Being able to say things like “I’d like to try a new toy”, “Let’s get tested together”, or “What feels best for you?” shouldn’t be awkward! It should be part of how we care for ourselves and each other.
Sexual Health Is Pleasure: The Wellness Connection
When your body feels safe, your mind can relax, and that’s when real pleasure begins. Feeling empowered in your sexual health opens the door to more exploration, better communication, and deeper satisfaction.
Here’s how:
-
Confidence in your body = Less anxiety during sex
-
Regular check-ins = Fewer misunderstandings and more connection
-
Informed choices = Better experiences and fewer regrets
Looking after your sexual health is one of the most intimate, loving things you can do for yourself.
