    Prevention & Protection – Knowledge for the Gay Community

    In porn, everything seems easy and perfect, but in real life, sex is different. Especially with anal sex, mishaps can happen, and a lack of knowledge can have unpleasant consequences. At Tom Rocket’s, our goal is to have a well-informed community without taboos, where sensitive topics such as mixed consumption, protection methods, or psychological stress are discussed openly.

    Education and prevention – safe sex for gay men

    There are many myths and misconceptions circulating in the scene when it comes to safe sex. In our blog, we provide comprehensive information on:

    • how to use condoms correctly
    • the risks associated with anal sex and how to minimize them
    • what you need to know about HPV, syphilis, chlamydia, and other STIs
    • why regular testing is important
    • which symptoms you should take seriously

    Our articles provide you with prevention information for gay men on an equal footing – practical and without pointing fingers.

    Safer Sex 3.0 – modern methods for greater safety

    Condoms are important, but they are by no means the only option. Under the term Safer Sex 3.0, we summarize modern strategies that offer you even more protection:

    • Condoms: classic, reliable, and indispensable
    • PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis): taken daily or on demand, provides reliable protection against HIV
    • PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis): emergency medication after a risky encounter, must be taken quickly
    • TasP (treatment as prevention): HIV-positive people who are successfully undergoing treatment are not infectious

    We explain how these methods work, what you need to bear in mind, and how you can integrate them into your sex life.

    Prevention through knowledge – the basis of your safety

    Being well informed is the most important foundation for gay health. In our blog, you will not only find advice on condoms, PrEP, and PEP, but also general tips:

    • the ten most important rules for safer sex
    • checklists for preparing for dates or parties
    • information on substance use and mixed risks
    • tips for spontaneous adventures without unpleasant surprises

    The more you know, the more confidently you can deal with your sexuality.

    Mental health and protection

    Prevention means not only protection from disease, but also protection from psychological pressure. Stress, performance anxiety, and insecurities can greatly affect your sex life. That’s why we also offer advice on mental health:

    • how to reduce performance pressure in bed
    • Tips for overcoming fear of failure or erection problems
    • Personal stories about coming out, identity, and self-image
    • Strategies for boosting your self-confidence

    At Tom Rocket’s, we combine physical and mental health for an all-around fulfilling love life.

    Community & exchange – sharing experiences

    Our blog is part of an active Tom Rocket’s community. Here you can ask questions, exchange ideas with other gay men, and benefit from personal experiences. Many users report on how they started using PrEP, which condoms they prefer, or how they overcame their fears. This open exchange is an important part of our educational work.

    Practical tips for everyday life

    In addition to theory, we provide you with specific tips for your everyday life:

    • how to cruise more safely
    • which apps help you make dates safer
    • why you should be aware of your limits at parties
    • how you can get tested discreetly
    • which emergency numbers and support services you should know

    This way, you are not only informed, but can also integrate this knowledge directly into your life.

    Regular updates and new content

    The world of prevention and health is constantly evolving. New medications, new research findings, new strategies—we keep you up to date. Our authors regularly update articles and add the latest findings so that you are always well informed.
