When did you last check in with your body? Sometimes we get so used to pushing through discomfort or changes that we stop paying attention to what our bodies are telling us. Take a moment today. Has your period changed? Have you noticed unusual discharge, irritation or bleeding? Are you experiencing pain during sex or persistent pelvic pain? Have you noticed any changes in your breasts? Not every change means something is wrong. But knowing what is normal for your body makes it easier to notice when something is different. For sex workers, looking after our sexual health also means having access to healthcare where we can ask questions and talk about our bodies without judgement. Don't wait until something becomes unbearable before seeking care. Check in with yourself. Your body matters too. #ASWA #SexualHealthAwarenessMonth #SexualHealth #SexWorkersHealth #SRHR @GlobalSexWork @redumbrellafund

Male sex workers, this one is for you. When we talk about sexual and reproductive health, the experiences and health needs of male sex workers can easily be left out of the conversation. So take a moment to check in with yourself. Have you noticed any changes in your body? Any persistent pain, irritation, unusual discharge, bleeding, changes in your testicles or changes in your sexual function? Don't get so used to pushing through discomfort that you ignore what your body is telling you. You deserve healthcare where you can speak honestly about your body, your sexual practices and your work without embarrassment or judgement. This Sexual Health Awareness Month, we're reminding male sex workers that your health matters too. #ASWA #MaleSexWorkers #SexualHealthAwarenessMonth #SexualHealth #SexWorkersHealth #SRHR
