3 minutes read3 minutes readRoses, candlelight dinners, a stroll through the park at sunset. A picnic at the lake, horse-drawn carriage as snow gently falls from the sky snuggled together under a warm blanket. These all pop into your head when you think of romance. It is what dreams are made of. They are the standards we set when we are young, portraying how we think love stories begin.
Yes. These are wonderful, and maybe we would enjoy this with our loved ones. It is a beautiful way to begin a relationship or reconnect.
But is this what women truly want? Is it what is most important to them?
The Truth
No. It isn’t what we, women, really want. Nice things are wonderful. But let’s talk about what girls really want from their partners. It is sexy, attractive, and truly makes women happy.
STI testing.
That’s right — getting tests for STIs. It is essential for all healthy sexual relationships.
How does getting STI testing done show your love?
We all know that communication and trust are the cornerstones of a healthy relationship. And while it’s not always easy to talk about uncomfortable topics like STIs, getting tested is an important part of creating a strong bond with your partner. By taking the time to get tested together, you’re showing your commitment to each other’s health and safety — and that makes for a stronger connection in the long run.
It shows you care about her
Getting tested together means that you are taking the time to understand her needs and make sure they’re being met. This shows her that you care about both of her well-being, which is an attractive quality in any partner.
It shows you care about yourself
Just as important as caring about your partner’s health is caring about your own health. Taking responsibility for your own health and well-being is incredibly attractive. It shows that you’re reliable and responsible and take your own health and longevity seriously.
It shows you can be transparent
STIs can be a difficult subject to talk about. Getting tested and having an honest conversation about it shows you can be open about difficult topics. Transparency in this area can help build trust in your relationship — and a strong foundation of trust is essential for any relationship.
It shows you care about your future together
Getting tested demonstrates that you value your future together. It shows that you care about protecting your relationship for the long-term and take steps to ensure it will last.
By getting tested, you’re taking an important step in building a healthy sexual relationship with your partner — and showing her that she really is what you really want.
