Sexual Health Week: Celebrate Pleasure, Knowledge & Confidence


Because owning your sexual health is sexy.

At Oh La La Shop, we believe that great sex starts with feeling safe, informed, and confident not just in the bedroom, but in every conversation about your body, your boundaries, and your wellbeing. That’s why we’re proud to support Sexual Health Week, a time to talk openly about sexual health, break down stigma, and celebrate the full spectrum of healthy sexuality. 


What Is Sexual Health Week?

Sexual Health Week is an annual campaign dedicated to raising awareness about sexual wellbeing and encouraging open, honest conversations about sex, relationships, consent, protection, and access to accurate information. 

This week is about more than avoiding infections or preventing unintended outcomes, it’s about feeling good, being informed, and enjoying sex as part of a fulfilling, respectful life. 


Why Open Conversations Matter

Talking about sexual health isn’t just educational, it’s empowering. When we normalise conversation about sex, we:

❤️ Reduce stigma and shame.
❤️ Build confidence in our sexual choices.
❤️ Improve relationships through better communication.
❤️ Help protect ourselves and our partners.
❤️ Make it easier to access testing, protection, and support services.

Good sexual health means embracing safe, respectful, and pleasurable experiences throughout life and that starts with communication. 


Key Areas to Talk About This Week

💬 Consent & Communication

Healthy sex starts with clear, enthusiastic consent. Talking about boundaries what you want and what you don’t want creates safer, more satisfying experiences for everyone involved.

🛡️ Protection & Prevention

Whether it’s condoms, dental dams, or Prep for HIV prevention, using protection shows care for yourself and others. Only condoms consistently protect against both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

🔬 Testing & Knowledge

Getting tested regularly is part of taking control of your sexual health. Most STIs can be treated, and knowing your status gives you freedom and peace of mind.

📱 Digital Reality vs Online Myths

In our online world, we learn a lot but not everything we see is accurate. Social media, forums, and apps aren’t always reliable sources for sexual health info. This Sexual Health Week, let’s challenge myths and seek credible, evidence-based guidance instead. 


Sexual Health Is Self-Care

Sexual health isn’t separate from overall wellbeing it’s part of it. Feeling confident, informed, and respected in your sexuality uplifts your emotional, physical, and mental health. And just like we care about the quality of what we wear or the toys we choose, we should care about why and how we take care of ourselves sexually.

At Oh La La Shop, we champion sex-positive wellness from empowering lingerie and high-quality toys to encouraging conversations that elevate your confidence and pleasure.


How You Can Join In

Here are simple ways to celebrate Sexual Health Week:

✨ Start a conversation — with friends, partners, or even on social media about what sexual health means           to you.
✨ Share trustworthy info — swap myths for facts and help others feel confident.
✨ Book a test or health check — regular screening is part of good self-care.
✨ Explore pleasure responsibly — choose products and experiences that make you feel good and safe.


Final Thoughts

Sexual Health Week is a reminder that sexuality isn’t just about sex, it’s about connection, respect, confidence, freedom, and wellbeing. It’s about loving yourself fully body, mind, and desire.

Whether you’re browsing new lingerie or testing out an exciting toy from Oh La La Shop, remember: your sexual health matters. And the more we talk about it openly and without shame, the stronger and more empowered we all become.

Stay informed. Stay safe. Stay confident.


Happy Sexual Health Week from Oh La La Shop. 💋

Alternative Lifestyles, Mental Health and the M Word.

Recently here in the United Kingdom we had a week dedicated to acknowledging the need to address the mental health issues people are suffering from. We saw adverts telling us to talk about mental health as well as a lot of advice if you are suffering from poor mental health. We at www.ohlalashop.co.uk know that mental health is not some sort of weird little unknown problem that effects only a few people. The key word that we see is health. Anyone can suffer from poor physical health. There is no stigma in having a physical problem, people are quite open about physical illness. There is no problem telling someone you have a cold and people have no problem seeking help from their doctor to help them solve a physical health concern. Why is it then that we find it so hard to be open and honest about our mental health. Mental health unlike physical health has along history of being suppressed. Its only over the last few years that the general public have been able to be honest about any me...
