Y’all need to remember that when anyone is doing the things that can cause pregnancy, pregnancy is always a possibility. In other words: are you having direct genital-to-genital contact with someone who has a different kind of reproductive system than you do? If so, pregnancy is possible. How…

This is one of a long line of common phrases in sex education and sexuality messaging people, including people I think of us allies, use that I deeply dislike, like “preventing teen pregnancy.” Let me explain why.

That question probably either sounds like a really important one or a really stupid one, depending on your view. But I want the answer regardless, and am seriously tired of waiting for it. As an organization that provides information on all methods of contraception and other aspects of sexual…

(Porte’s question continued) I’m ashamed of my body. I’m scared of showing him. All my life I’ve been made fun of for being ‘fat’ my whole life basically. I don’t care what people say about me anymore (usually) and I like myself. Kinda. I don’t think of myself as like…this huge chick who stuffs…

It’s absolutely normal to feel unsafe with someone who has demonstrated that you are not safe with them. After all, if I told you I didn’t feel safe having someone over for dinner who mugged me last week, you’d hardly be surprised. It’s also absolutely normal not to feel sexual with someone who hasn…
