by admin

The attitude of Italians towards sex today, after the Covid emergency, is an issue that, in recent months, has generated growing attention and has been investigated by many parties: the campaign #givevilashealth wants to respond precisely to the complexity of the picture that emerges, providing 4 important rules for living one’s sexuality well in the current context. The first awareness campaign on the sexual well-being of the couple in the post-pandemic has just been presented, and is sponsored by a prestigious Scientific Committee chaired by Professor Sergio Pecorelli and composed by the doctor Silvia Bonetti, the professor Roberto Burioni, doctor Carlo Gastaldi and the professor Emmanuele A. Jannini.

Another element of the campaign is the call to the male universe – as well as to the female one – thanks to the partnership with Serie A Basketball League, which has embraced its educational purpose and shares its young and attentive public.

In fact, the initiatives and events that will be organized in collaboration with the LBA during the championship days are aimed at young people, to bring the campaign closer to young people throughout the national territory.

Almost two years have passed since the beginning of the health emergency caused by Covid-19, a period during which many were forced to redraw the boundaries within which to express affection, emotions, sex, encounters. The data photograph the fragility of relationships and couple intimacy. We are now heading towards a phase of new normalcy, a period in which nothing will be the same as before the pandemic but we return to experiencing physical contact, in what could be defined as a “revolution of hugs”.

“We are living in a very complex and extraordinary phase of rebirth. What we are becoming increasingly aware of, as educators and scientists, is that we do not talk enough about the health of the couple who instead live in osmosis and in fact the fundamental choices are made in two “- he says Emmanuele Jannini, Full Professor of Endocrinology and Medical Sexology at the University of Rome Tor Vergata. “People who are in pairs can get a formidable element of reinforcement or, on the contrary, discouragement: we see it these days in the attitudes towards prevention tools from Covid-19, but the mechanism is the same if we talk about prevention measures for the sexual well-being of the couple “.

Sex, gentlemen, have you checked up? There is a ‘coupon’ at the andrologist for every age

by Noemi Penna


“The idea – adds the doctor Carlo Gastaldi, Director of the Operational Unit of Gynecology and Obstetrics of the Clinical Institute of the City of Brescia, San Donato Group and creator of the campaign – arises from an important observation: they are about 3 million sexually transmitted infections which are diagnosed every day all over the world and, according to WHO data, 350 million are of bacterial origin, but more than double those of viral origin. It is estimated that about 400 million people have contracted a herpes virus infection and about 290 million women from the HPV virus “.

Faced with the epidemiological framework, the objective of #givevilashealth is to sensitize young couples on the importance of sexual health (any problems encountered during intimacy are often the alarm bell of a discomfort or chronic diseases that must be addressed promptly) and of the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.

Sex, does the laser to ‘rejuvenate’ the vagina really work?

by Mara Magistroni


The campaign, in this phase of resumption of relational and sexual activities, proposes 4 rules for the prevention of the couple’s health:

1)

Sexual well-being is one of the main bio-markers of an individual’s health. Don’t overlook any problems encountered during intimacy.

Some sexual symptoms, such as erectile dysfunction, can be warning signs of other conditions. “Sexual dysfunction is, in fact, perhaps the most sensitive biomarker of general health. The various discoveries that over time have contributed to helping both men and women to prevent sexual dysfunctions and, when present, to cure them, go in this direction “- affirms the Emmanule A. Jannini, who adds “after the revolution of the female pill and the blue pill, that is the sildenafil that technology has recently made into an evolved formulation, in an orodispersible film (the Ticket-2-Love), we can now glimpse the Third Sexual Revolution. Through the Covid-19 vaccine, we are returning to relationships, we are experiencing the Vax Revolution, the revolution of hugs, generated by couples, new couples and new partners who return to get closer. The green pass that allows – rightly – to access the social dimensions, can thus be declined in terms of Red Pass, or rather the red passport of love, encounter, passion and sex “.

2)

Educating on prevention from an early age.

The invitation to activate prevention practices comes from the President of the scientific board, as well as a clinician with long experience and academics at an international level. “It is important to emphasize that sexually transmitted diseases can affect anyone who has unprotected sex, regardless of age, sex and sexual orientation,” he says. Sergio Pecorelli, Emeritus Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and former Rector of the University of Brescia. One of the main methods of prevention is the use of condoms. We cannot fail to consider that sexually transmitted diseases, if neglected, can cause important complications over time, such as infertility or difficulty in having children, for both men and women. In the new normal it is even more important than in the past that the culture of sex education spread: the importance of prevention and vaccination should be explained to boys and girls from a very young age, when they are still at school. . This culture is also lacking at the level of families “.

3)

Making vaccines (HPV and Hepatitis B)

Unfortunately today there is still a certain reticence towards the vaccine as a form of prevention. “In the last year and a half, due to the restrictions that have been imposed by Covid-19 – he says Roberto Burioni, Full Professor of Microbiology and Virology at the Vita-Salute San Raffaele University of Milan – many people have postponed or omitted vaccinations. Furthermore, in the last year, another problem has manifested itself more and more in all its drama: the mistrust of all vaccinations, a mistrust based on irrational feelings and superstition. Vaccination, however, is not only a gesture of individual protection, but it is an act of social responsibility, which if omitted can lead to the circulation of viruses, bacteria and pathogens that otherwise we could eliminate forever. We see it with Covid but also with HPV which is experiencing an intergenerational upsurge “.

4)

Do not experience protection as a sense of distrust towards the other and be wary of risky relationships.

The sexual relationship must be lived with profound harmony. On this, the help of the gynecologist who accompanies the patients in the different stages of life and manages to enter their most intimate sphere can be important.

“It is important that during intimacy we always give ourselves in full respect of the other person – he emphasizes Silvia Bonetti, Medical director of the Operational Unit of Gynecology and Obstetrics of the Clinical Institute of the City of Brescia, San Donato Group – so that the joy of sharing and pleasure also become health. It is therefore essential that today is lived with responsibility, so that it can guarantee a happy and safe tomorrow, so it is extremely important to protect yourself from risky relationships “, he concludes.
