Warts and All - All you need to know about STIs and s3x positivity

Crude

In episode 7, the Crude team gets all infectious with a whole show dedicated to STIs.

Why can't people be more honest about their STI status? Why do so many people not get tested? Are people in sex-positive scenes more or less trustworthy when it comes to sexually transmitted infections?

Elle, Misty, and Frank in Berlin are joined by the evergorge Effie in London to talk about the stigmas surrounding STI testing and the dreaded positive test call. The team also talked about the incongruities of the ridiculous testing regime in Germany compared to other Western countries.

DM our Insta channel (@crude_podcast) for info on doctors in Berlin offering free and easy STI testing for all genders and sexualities.
