I love my mom, I hate the way she talks about queer people like me, and I feel guilty for not saying something about it.

I’ve identified as asexual for about five years, but I’m experiencing attraction in a new relationship. How do I talk to my partner about this?

Please vote for Scarleteen at Project for Awesome, from February 11th to February 19th, to help us have a shot at some much-needed funding!

I just wanted to remind you that even when we share these hard times, we still show up at Scarleteen every single day with the aim of being here to help inform and support you as best we can.

By all means, effective use of contraception, all by itself, goes a long way. Those who can access and consistently and correctly use a very effective form of contraception are very unlikely to become pregnant. But that group can be smaller than it may seem.

There’s a lot to unpack with sexual choking. Here’s some science, including some real dangers, and some guidance, to help anyone make informed decisions to ensure safer, healthy, consensual and mutually-enjoyable experiences.

It’s remarkably easy to hurt ourselves in the pursuit of feeling good. This guide covers sexual injuries, what to do when and after they happen, and how to prevent them.

Know how sometimes when something is wonky with a laptop or a phone, we need to shut it all down and give the machine a full reboot?

I am now no longer our only director, and it’s unlikely anyone here will ever be on their own in that way again, which is so awesome I might literally implode with joy and relief. Scarleteen now, and hopefully evermore, operates as a multi-generational co-directorship, built in such a way that utilizes all of our unique skills, shared abilities, and collective dedication and talent.

When it comes to our bodies and feeling good in them, it’s usually better to listen and respond to what they are telling us than to tell them what to do.
