Covid cautious educator duo Jess and Stella combine their personal experiences and passions with their professional expertise to empower folks to find sex & connection in the time of COVID-19.
Safer sex conversations have been a cornerstone of sexual education for decades, and now COVID conversations have entered the mix. While it might feel daunting to discuss COVID safety with friends and dates, applying the communication techniques that already work for difficult or awkward conversations can help.
But before negotiating with anyone else, you need to get clear on your own risk tolerance and the mitigation tools that make you feel comfortable. Once you have that information, it’s time to script your safety needs conversation so you’ll feel ready when the moment comes.
Being prepared for safety conversations also means having the tools to check in with yourself in the moment, process disappointment, and be prepared for trauma responses like fawn (people pleasing) or dissociation.
Setting boundaries might not always be fun, but it gets easier with practice!
