Feel free to send me a message with your questions about sex, sexual health, sex toys, feminism, or anything else!
For more information about any of these things please check out the resources tab or leave me a question in my ask box! I would love to talk to you!
Love, love, love, LOVE this. From the video description “In the past 5 years, the rate of STDs among active seniors has risen over 70%. This public service announcement promotes the importance of using condoms, illustrated by mature adults in various poses of the Kama Sutra.”
I’m sure you heard about the #teamiPhone vs. #teamAndroid Instagram beef last week. Can’t we all just get along, guys? Thank goodness for the wonderful world of birth control—it offers something for everyone! Hopefully you’ve already checked out and taken advantage of Bedsider’s custom…

“The Springfield School Committee has approved a policy that will provide students as young as age 12 with condoms if they request them.”

How to Use a Dental Dam (by NAFAmeriCorpsTeamDC)
This is great! Except the dental dam covers the vulva, not the vagina :-/ Great information though!
Can you tell if someone has an STI just by looking?

This is today’s (2/10) comic from Girls With Slingshots, which is drawn by the lovely . I just found it funny and relevant to sex education. The past few days the comics have been dealing with STD’s and safe sex (and they’re doing a pretty good job)!
FYSE: I am a HUGE fan of Girls with Slingshots and actually really wanted to post yesterday’s comic as it talks about methods of protection for lesbians (and everyone else) but I totally forgot to. Thank you for posting this so I can direct everyone to this latest story arch. I also LOVE how the writer (Danielle Corsetto) addresses STDs/STIs and compares herpes to giving someone restless leg syndrome. So many people view getting STDs/STIs as getting the black mark of death when really it doesn’t affect your life near as much as people make it out to. It’s just like any other (occasionally really annoying) disorder.

Happy Method Monday! Today we bring you the oft-misunderstood female condom—which you may or may not realize has been revamped in recent years to be more affordable and less, erm, squeaky. Yep, it squeaked before, now not so much. The revamped version is called the FC2, standing for—you guessed it—female condom 2. So, to review: less squeaking, lower price, new name, same (relatively) easy-to-use protection from unintended pregnancy and STIs. Good news, right?
A few more highlights:
- As we’ve noted in the past, the female condom protects against HIV;
- Female condoms are latex free, so if you or your partner are allergic to latex, they could be a great alternative;
- Mary Ann Leeper, the woman who brought the new and improved FC2 into being, did an interview for SexReally.com that’s alive and well here on our tumblr.
- Some even say that the female condom feels better than the male condom—and that inserting it can be sexy with the right partner.
- The female condom can be inserted hours before it’s needed, meaning you don’t have to find a sexy way to whip it out and put it in in the moment—unless you want to.
What’s not to love about that?
I JUST THINK THESE ARE SO COOL.
Condoms, lube, and STICKERS? Plus info on emergency contraception and birth control, and a TATTOO. Hell yeah! I especially am excited for the coupon to Good Vibrations. haha. Saving on my next vibrator! Thank you so much!
For those who don’t know, I crocheted a menstrual cup cozy for Ally since she just got the Diva Cup and will be doing a review.
Hope you get it soon!
I’m glad you liked it! Thank YOU for the awesome crocheted cozy of amazingness. I will be posting a picture of it later on!
