We’re talking about talking: namely, how to talk with sexual partners about any physical effects that you have experienced as a survivor of sexual trauma.

If fantasies have you upset, please know that they’re (almost never) harmful—in fact, they’re a great way to safely explore your sexuality.

You’ve seen headlines about grooming. Here’s what it is (and isn’t).

A house isn’t built in a day. Neither is a relationship.

If you’re imagining a future for yourself without breasts, you’re not alone—and affirming care to help you feel good in the skin you’re in is for everyone!

A partner telling you not to use toys is engaging in controlling behavior. You have agency over your own sexuality.

In stressful times, it’s important to find healthy ways to cope with and express big feelings—and support friends who are going through it too.

Bots designed to say yes to everything can’t give you the support you need.

If your relationship is broken down, opening up won’t usually help fix it.

There’s nothing wrong with you if you’ve been aroused in a situation where you were uncomfortable or the setting wasn’t sexual.
