7 Reasons Why STD Testing is Sexy
As couples embark on exciting adventures to adult events, cruises, and resorts, it's essential to prioritize pleasure and safety. One often overlooked aspect of this safety is sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing. While discussing STDs might not be the most romantic conversation, it's a vital step in ensuring that your intimate experiences remain enjoyable, safe, and worry-free. In this blog, we'll explore why getting STD testing is essential for couples indulging in adult-oriented adventures.
If you’re planning on attending a lifestyle event, and you & your partner have decided to play, we highly recommend getting tested to know before you go! We suggest at least two months before the event if anything comes up. That way, you’ll have plenty of time to make adjustments. But if your test comes out negative for STDs, then you have a clear conscience, and you can go into your play safely, knowing you are not at risk for spreading infection.
Although talking about STDs is never sexy or comfortable, here are a few reasons why testing before attending adult sex-positive events is sexy:

1: Establishes Trust
Trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship. When couples decide to attend adult events or indulge in more adventurous activities, they are often exploring new boundaries together. Getting tested for STDs is a demonstration of trust and commitment to each other's well-being. It fosters open and honest communication, creating a stronger, more resilient bond between partners.
2: Provides Peace of Mind
Nothing ruins a romantic getaway or an evening at an adult event faster than worrying about potential health risks. By both partners undergoing STD testing before engaging in these activities, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that you are taking proactive steps to protect each other's health. This peace of mind allows you to focus on the experiences, relaxation, and connection these events provide.
3. Prevents the Spread of Infections
STDs can have severe consequences, not only for individuals but for their partners as well. Many STDs can be asymptomatic, meaning a person may carry and transmit the infection without knowing it. Regular testing helps identify diseases early, allowing for prompt treatment and preventing the spread of STDs within a couple or to others at these events.
4. Fulfills Consent and Responsibility
Consent is a fundamental aspect of any sexual encounter. Ensuring that both partners know their STD status is a critical part of consent. When both individuals have up-to-date STD test results, they can make informed decisions about their level of involvement and protection during intimate activities. This creates a culture of responsibility and respect in the adult-oriented community.
5. Helps Avoid Unpleasant Surprises
Imagine the disappointment and discomfort of discovering an STD after a memorable event or romantic cruise. You can avoid these unfortunate surprises and potential drama by getting tested in advance. It's a proactive step that allows you to focus on creating positive and memorable experiences with your partner.
6. Supports a Healthy Lifestyle
Maintaining sexual health is an essential component of an overall healthy lifestyle. Regular STD testing encourages couples to stay informed about their health and engage in open conversations about sexual well-being. It promotes a holistic approach to physical and emotional health.
7. Provides Access to Resources
If you are reading this, you already have access to a fantastic STD testing resource. Once you begin researching, you’ll be amazed at how many resources are out here to protect you. In many cases, adult events, cruises, and resorts prioritize the health and safety of their attendees. They may provide access to on-site testing, condoms, and educational materials. By knowing your STD status in advance, you can take full advantage of these resources and make informed decisions while participating in these activities. We love the idea of at-home testing due to our busy schedules and sense of discretion.
Shameless Care At-Home Testing Kits
Naughty Events has partnered with Shameless Care; Shameless Care has home kits where you can test yourself in the privacy of your home! Your testing kit will come in a discreet package with a return label you can use to send it back. You do the test at home and will get your results by text. It is simple and easy to share with others so they know your status, too.
Most testing kits do not include inexpensive throat swab testing for gonorrhea and chlamydia, even though most people do not use protection for oral sex. Those bacterial infections spread quickly and are often asymptomatic in the throat. People believe they have a comprehensive STD test from their doctor, and they’re usually not tested for the things they are most likely to have.
Shameless Care has a special Naughty Vacation kit with two kits included, one before you go... and one for when you get home (to make sure).
They also offer continuous STD monitoring for sexually active people. You will get enough kits to test yourself upon arrival—another one in three months, then six months, and nine months.
So, remember, while adventure and excitement are important, safety should always come first. Get tested, communicate openly, and embark on your journeys confidently and joyfully.
