Contraception negotiation

How could someone respond assertively to these statements?

I’m on the pill, you don’t need a condom

It doesn’t feel as good if we use protection

I guess you don’t really trust me

We’re both virgins so there aren’t any risks

I’m allergic to latex so we can’t use anything

Using protection interrupts everything

10 minutes

10 of 28

Possible responses

In a respectful, trusting relationship, a person should see protecting their partner and themselves from unwanted consequences as paramount.
Wanting to use protection shows responsibility and respect, not a lack of trust.
Latex-free condoms and dental dams are available.
A range of condoms are available, including those that increase pleasure and sensitivity for both partners.
Non-barrier methods of contraception do not provide any protection against STIs.
It is possible to become pregnant the first time someone has vaginal sex and some STIs can be transmitted by people who have never had sex before (e.g. genital herpes from cold sores).

Contraception negotiation

Read the contraception negotiation script. Discuss the following:

Is this effective communication?

Why? Why not?

How might both characters be feeling during this conversation?

How might both characters feel afterwards if they do have sex?

How could the script be reworked using assertive communication to reach a positive conclusion?

EXTENSION: 10 minutes

12 of 28

Possible responses

Character B isn’t always being clear about what it is they want and need regarding protection. They might be worried about being judged, or if their partner might break up with them if they don’t agree to have sex without protection.
Character A is not respecting their partner’s need to use protection and is trying to persuade them to ignore their judgement about the risks around unprotected sex.
Character A might feel frustrated or excited to have sex, Character B might be feeling anxious, pressured or annoyed or hurt that they haven’t been listened to.
Afterwards, both characters might feel worried about an unplanned pregnancy or transmission of an STI.
They might also be concerned about the impact of the actions taken on their relationship, as not listening to the concerns of their partner can be hurtful and may affect levels of trust in the relationship

Recap the Signs and Symptoms

These are the signs and symptoms of breast cancer. All of the signs and symptoms in this image can occur in all breast tissue. Some of these changes may occur due to hormonal changes and this can be quite normal if you have periods. But it’s important that you get to know the natural changes that happen each month and therefore feel confident you would spot anything out of the ordinary, quickly.

The more you get to know your chest, the more you will become familiar with natural changes that may occur. All bodies are different and you are the expert on what is normal for you. It is important to pay attention to any changes to your chest and if you are concerned, speak to your doctor. For more information about changes, head to our website - https://coppafeel.org/info-resources/health-information/natural-changes/.

Testicular cancer

Usually, the first thing people notice is a small, hard lump on the testis.

Some people also notice that one testis changes in size or shape.

Many lumps aren’t cancer, but it’s wise to get a lump checked out by a doctor, to be sure.

It’s not very common: around 1 in 12000 UK males are diagnosed with testicular cancer each year.
When diagnosed at its earliest stage, all men with testicular cancer will survive their disease for five years or more*. 98% survive for 10 years or more.

* A standard time measurement for cancer survival (stats from Cancer Research UK and NCIN)

It is not clearly linked to any preventable risk factors.

22 of 28

In the unlikely event that someone develops testicular cancer, how can they ensure it’s caught early?

Check testes at least once a month. It’s much easier to remember if checking is done at every bath or shower time when testes are washed anyway.

While it’s not often a problem, having an undescended testis can make that testis a bit more vulnerable to testicular cancer.

If one or both testes seem to be missing from the scrotum, it’s best to get this checked out with a doctor to be sure everything is okay.

Who could a person talk to if they think they find a lump?

- Parent/guardian; doctor; school nurse.

THE THREE STEPS OF

SELF-EXAMINATION

In the same way that girls and women can examine their breasts, �boys and men can check their testicles.

Get to know what’s normal for you in terms of size and shape so �you can notice any changes
Once a month, in the shower, roll one testicle between the thumb and fingers �to check for lumps, swelling, or pain, then repeat with the other one
If you notice a change in size or shape, a lump that wasn’t there �before or if a testicle becomes painful, get it checked out

Visit www.movember.com/mens-health/testicular-cancer for more �information on self-examination and testicular cancer.
