Happy new year Lyndsey! I really need your help, comments, or suggestions..ok I have a partner who i am being sexually active with, and he always uses a condom. Yesterday I had this really bad pain in my lower abdomen and I felt the need of peeing…but I couldn’t pee and when i peed [...]
“Hi Steph. My boyfriend says that anal sex is a good way to not get pregnant. Is he right? Can we use it as birth control?”
Good question! There are a lot of misconceptions about anal sex and you’re doing the right thing by asking questions and looking for accurate information.
Are you planning to use some [...]
So, I realize that generally this post is full of specific information or advice around having safer sex, but this month I seem to be without a good question. Instead I thought I’d try to spark a discussion about one of the hardest aspects of sexual actions to identify, name, or teach: Decision Making.
New Year’s Eve is right around the corner. Many of us will be toasting champagne and kissing some hotty at the stroke of midnight. But did you know that New Year’s Eve happens to be the biggest night of the year for birth control slip ups? Before you get your stroke on, [...]
Hi Steph,
I’ve heard that some people use “natural family planning” as birth control. What does that mean? Does it really work?
I definitely hear you on the skepticism – fertility awareness, as it’s called, takes a lot of discipline that most (myself included) just don’t have. If it weren’t for my two co-workers that swear by [...]
This week’s safer sex question:
I’m 17 and very worried that I may be pregnant. I’ve been taking Loestrin 24fe for about 3 months now, and I have a steady boyfriend. I’ve never fully had unprotected sex, but sometimes we use a form of the withdrawal method (but only for about a minute or so). Otherwise, [...]
I have been hearing more and more stories about people who are protesting Planned Parenthood and how there are still people out there who would like the place closed down. So, I have decided to share a story for everyone to know why Planned Parenthood is needed.
There is a girl, a year older than me. [...]
Hi Steph! Do aphrodisiacs actually work? What are the best ones?
I have to admit I’m with you on the skepticism. The existence of magic potions and foods that make sex more enjoyable seems more like the stuff of Greek myth than reality. Turns out I wasn’t far off in my prediction – the word “aphrodisiac” comes [...]
The sex ed question of the week: I’m a lesbian who doesn’t like eating pussy. I don’t like the taste, I don’t like the smell, and I’m not a fan of all that pubic hair in my mouth. Is there something wrong with me?
No, there’s nothing wrong with you.
Contrary to popular belief, there [...]
October is such an important month in the sex-positive community. Not only do we celebrate LGBT history, we are also urged to be aware of the dangers of domestic violence. Given that, this seemed like the perfect time for a refresher on sexual consent and the things we can all do to prevent sexual assault [...]
