There are few things that spread more quickly than sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Few, that is, besides the myths, taboos and fears surrounding sexual health. Don’t people talk rubbish?
There is a whole world of potential pain, embarrassment and suffering in your breeches, and ignoring it – or scratching it – is unlikely to make it go away. So what can I do, and why am I jabbering on about men’s private parts?
As the title suggests, my name is Chappie, and although I’m unable to check Little Joe and the rest of you is in good nick, I do know people who can.
Giving it to you straight
One of the best things to help us stay healthy is being able to make a decision based on the correct information – so I’m here to promote the facts and banish the bull. But that’s not all.
It’s little good thinking or even knowing that you are blighted with an ailment, but being too scared to do anything about it. As well as information we need support, encouragement – occasionally a stiff upper lip – and a sense of perspective. Remember these things get passed on.
So I delve into our collective trouser department to provide some revelatory information about men’s sexual health – and what you can do to keep on top of it. I’ll be keeping you updated with sexual health checks in and around London, and other news about where you can go to for confidential professional advice.
You can tweet Chappie or add me on Facebook at their respective portals.
Whatever you do, just remember one thing:
Check your chap.
