    Sex in Check Episode 14 - What if your low libido, weaker erections, or changes in sexual performance aren't because you're getting older? What if the answer is sitting in your medicine cabinet?

    In this episode of Sex in Check, we will be discussing how medications can affect our sexual wellness.  Many people assume sexual changes are caused by aging, menopause, stress, or relationship problems. While those can certainly play a role, prescription and over-the-counter medications are often overlooked. Medications work by changing hormones, blood flow, nerve signals, or brain chemistry—all of which are essential for healthy sexual function. The good news is that recognizing the connection is the first step toward finding solutions. In this episode we will give you the solutions and recommendations to connect with your partner. Whether you're managing depression, allergies, high blood pressure, menopause, or chronic pain, there are often ways to improve intimacy while continuing to care for your overall health.  And if dryness, reduced sensation, or discomfort are part of the picture, simple solutions like quality lubricants, massage oils, couples' toys, ultra-thin condoms, or body-safe intimacy products can make a meaningful difference.   "If today's episode helped you connect the dots between your medications and your sex life, remember that you don't have to navigate these changes alone. Visit Condom-USA.com for physician-recommended lubricants, ultra-thin condoms, couples' intimacy products, and educational resources designed to support every stage of your sexual wellness journey. Because taking care of your health shouldn't mean giving up a satisfying sex life."  Featured Products Mentioned in This Episode Jelly C**k Ring Assortment Silicone C**k Ring Assortment Lasso C**k Ring Donut C**k Ring Helix C**k Ring Double Stacked C**k Ring Beaded C**k Rings Oxballs Ringer Oxballs Squeeze Vedo Roq Rechargeable C**k Ring We Vibe Bond We Vibe Pivot We Vibe Verge We Vibe Jive We Vibe Chorus Satisfyer Double Joy Balldo For more information on how to connect with your partner, visit our Blog for information like Sex Toys for Couples or Health Factors that can affect a Woman's Health.

    Sex in Check Episode 8 - What does Safer Sex look like in 2026 and a peak at Sex in Midlife

    In this episode of Sex in Check, we discuss safer sex options in 2026 and how our choices are growing, especially when it comes to condoms.  Modern sexual wellness products are designed to support both pleasure and protection, no matter your age or stage of life. Today’s ultra-thin latex and non-latex condoms are engineered to maximize sensitivity while still providing reliable protection, premium brands like Okamoto and Kimono are known for their micro-thin designs and reliability. While brands like Lifestyles, Trojan and Durex are coming out with new non latex condom options that include larger sizes and extra lubrication. Alongside condoms, protective options like dental dams play an important role in safer oral intimacy, helping reduce STI risk while allowing couples to stay connected and confident. We also touch on what sex in midlife may look like, when hormonal changes can affect sensitivity, comfort, and lubrication. The good news is that modern sexual wellness products are designed to enhance intimacy rather than interrupt it, giving couples more ways than ever to enjoy pleasure, protection, and confidence at any age.  Products mentioned in this episode include: Skyn Elite Non-Latex Condoms Skyn Large Non-Latex  Trojan Raw Non-Latex  Trojan Bareskin Non-Latex  Kimono Microthin  Kimono Microthin Extra Lube Crown Condoms Scented Dental Dams Mini Wand Rings For more information about condoms and your options.      Condom-USA, America's Safer Sex Store – C-USA
