Hello New Followers!
There are a bunch of you coming in! Welcome!

Anonymous asked: What I mean is I'm clumsy first of all so I'd probably get more blood on me but secondly since I bleed a lot I feel like it will all pour out when I pull down on the cup... Does it have any leakage if you don't change it often enough?

Olympia Snowe is retiring.
stfusexists:
I AM SO DONE WITH TODAY.
Although Olympia Snowe is an AMAZING woman, her voting record is a mixed bag. However, she is truly one of the most incredible people I have had the pleasure to meet. Did anyone else check her out in Miss Representation? Not to mention her recent announcement that she backed birth control. I have a picture of myself standing with her on my wall next to...

Does anyone have any thoughts or resources that speak to this?

Wait, I just realized that tons of other medical procedures require a transvaginal ultrasound in order to proceed. I got surgery to cut out a bad case of endometriosis a couple years ago, and I had to get prodded countless times pre- and post-op. (Which I was fine with.) How, then, is a transvaginal ultrasound -not- rape in cases like that, but...

fuckyeahsexeducation:
Cold sores ARE oral herpes. Most commonly, whenever someone is a child they can get herpes from a family member who gets cold sores kissing them. A LOT of people don’t know that cold sores/fever blisters are herpes and can be spread to the genitals. I’ll see posts on tumblr where people will say things like “got another cold sore, don’t worry it’s not herpes!” or “don’t...

Hey everyone! I don’t usually do this, but I truly feel that this is an extremely great cause.

thesexuneducated:
Don’t ever let someone tell you otherwise. The way you experience pleasure is the right way and if someone takes issue with this, then they are the one with the problem. Don’t allow the hegemonic narrative of masculinity/femininity and the dynamics that “should” occur between these two ideologies twist you up in knots about your sexual experiences. If your sex is consenting,...

look for these in…store, I can’t find them.
They are at basically every whole foods store I have ever been to, but the cheapest prices are on Amazon. My friend just picked one up there for $25, which is $5-10 cheaper than in stores.
