What exactly is

Safer Sex

and how can you protect yourself?

What is safer sex?

Safer sex is a toolkit that allows you to live out your sexuality in a way that minimizes health risks, depending on the situation and your preferences.

This means: enjoying intimacy while taking responsibility for your own health and that of your partners. It's not just about condoms, but also about communication, prevention, and mutual respect.

Protection from sexually transmitted infections (STIs)

Vaccinations

For sexually active people, for example, vaccinations against HPV and hepatitis A/B are particularly important.

Safer Sex also means

Consensus & Communication

All participants must feel comfortable; that is non-negotiable. Open discussions about protection, boundaries, and desires are part of healthy sexuality. Consent means a clear yes, nothing else.

Risk Situations

Sometimes the risk increases, e.g. with sex with many changing partners or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. It is important to be aware of this. Tips for risk reduction:

  • Clear agreements with partners
  • Consistently use condoms/dental dams
  • Use medication (PrEP)
  • Rely on prevention programs like Plan D
  • Avoid drug use or practice safer use (e.g. use your own equipment)

Die Frau trägt ein helles Top mit Spitzenbesatz und hat Tätowierungen an den Armen. Der Hintergrund ist schlicht und hell gehalten, wodurch der Fokus auf dem Informationsmaterial liegt.
It cannot be said often enough:

Regular testing helps detect STIs early

Even with the best protection, a residual risk can remain. Regular tests help detect and treat infections early, often before symptoms appear.
