Sexual Health FTW

My messaging and ask box are both open for questions. I never post questions that are not anonymous and a few people have already utililized the messaging system. Please try it out if you have a question! This is a blog for everyone out there who wants information on sexual health. Posts are going to range from protection to healthy relationships to sexual pleasure. It is an informational blog for everyone. I am a peer sexual health educator and I have been for five years now. I hope to one day be a paid educator for clinics or schools.

I have a question about polyamory. So there are 3 people, A, B, and C. B and C are sisters, and they both fall in love with A. Do you think its okay for them to be in a poly relationship if B and C aren't romantically connected?

I don’t see why not as long as everyone is completely okay with it!

I am a girl and I have had sex 4 times and I feel like it always makes my stomach hurt, is there a reason for that?

Possibly, but it sounds like you should maybe see a gyno to make sure that everything is okay with your stomach/genital areas/abdomen. Otherwise, maybe it could be nervousness, or rough sex, or something else?

Asexuality and Polyamory: My Life is Not a Contradiction

“The fact that I am asexual and polyamorous sometimes feels like a contradiction inside of me. I know there is nothing contradictory about these coexistent identities, and it is not even other polyamorous people’s judgment that I fear. It’s the judgment of people who are skeptical of polyamory.

Some pictures of my partners and me recently went viral on a social media site. Most of the comments were supportive, but too many immediately sexualized our relationship. Not only did it bother me to see people discussing my sex life, but I also feared that, if they knew that sex was not a part of my relationship, many would see my relationship as less valid.

Polyamory is already seen by many as a less valid relationship style, or “doomed to fail.” That’s a lot of weight placed on relationships like ours already. If we have problems, which arise in any relationship, there are people who will say it is because we are polyamorous, not because we are human beings with emotions like everyone else.

On top of this, my relationship with my partners is non-sexual. Many asexual people face the stigma that their relationships are not really relationships because they are not sexual. Meanwhile, polyamorous relationships are often over-sexualized, with some people assuming that polyamory is all about having sex with more than one person. At this intersection of assumptions about asexuality and polyamory, I fear both strangers and loved ones viewing my relationship as something less than real.”

Why Am I Not Supposed To Tell You I’m Trying To Get Pregnant?

Most of the time these days, when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, it almost looks like I’ve been crying. I haven’t, but my eyes are just a bit too puffy, the whites just a bit too red. I’m normally an almost annoyingly positive person, but right now I’m tired, and I’m sad.

This is a great discussion to bring up!

In our human development class we are on reproduction and we saw a video of an actual ejaculation. It was close up so you got to see how it comes out and go into the vagina but all we saw was the head and half of the penis and the hole where it comes out. We didnt see the entire penis or the guys body but was it weird to get slightly turned on from seeing that, to me I feel I shouldnt get turned on so easily because it wasnt what we see in porn. Could the reason be because I am ovulating?

Not necessarily. People can get turned on from a variety of things during all times of the day even!

I've been on the pill for almost a year now (I take it at the same time every day) and two months ago I stopped taking this antibiotic that was throwing off my menstrual cycle (I took it for one month)... My doctor said I should be back on track by now with the pill, but to use backup just to be safe. I had sex last night and we used the withdrawal method (condom wasn't working out), do you think I'll be okay? I really don't want to get pregnant. How soon do you think I can tell if it failed???

It sounds like it would be best to ask a doctor in the end but in general, you can tell once you have a missed period, or wait until after your period to take a pregnancy test. Usually though, my understanding is that once the antibiotic is out of your system, to use condoms for at least 7 days after.

Man on Daily PrEP Regimen Contracts HIV, According to Study

The first case of HIV contraction in a person taking PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis, or a antiretroviral drug cocktail used to protect people from contracting HIV) daily has been documented and presented by David Knox, MD, an HIV specialist at the Maple Leaf Medical Clinic, at the 2016 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) in Boston, according to Benjamin Ryan at Poz. Ryan reports:

Again, nothing is ever 100% and this is meant to be used with condoms and other preventative measures as much as possible!

Do they make vibrators and dildos for beginners? I am talking about the size because some of the ones I have seen I dont think would fit. I would think they would make them for girls just starting to use one so I wouldnt have to buy one that is too big. Do you buy them by how long and big around they are or is it like small, medium and large?

You definitely can look at them by all types of criteria, including size. You can look at some great sites like Smitten Kitten, Bad Vibes Toys, and other cites related to those. There are tons of sizes to choose from!

Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Clitoris?

In the first birds-and-the-bees talk I ever had with a grown-up, I was told that, above all, sex is special. It sounded a little ominous, like a big responsibility, kind of like First Communion — something to take seriously and not mess up. It was years before anyone suggested to me that it

A lot of people have been suggesting coconut oil as a lubricant, DONT! for people with vaginas it could cause a bacterial imbalance and lead to infection. coconut oil is actibacterial so when its in your vagina it messes with your vaginas self cleaning properties. I used coconut oil as lube one night and my discharge turned yellowish/green the day after. I was told that it was a yeast infection, so be aware that coconut oil can cause yeast infections!!!

Very true! Even though it is natural, it is still an oil which can cause infections in the vagina.

My Nontraumatic Birth Was Traumatic to Me

I didn't have a traumatic birth. At least according to the doctors and nurses that delivered my baby. My daughter's life was never in danger, neither was...

This is really beautiful to me about the nuances of trauma and traumatic experiences.
