Anatomy

The most likely possibility is that what you’re seeing coming out of your vagina is simply semen: the sexual fluid which carries sperm. The vagina isn’t a bottomless pit: it ends with the cervix, the base of the uterus. The opening to the cervix – called the os – is incredibly small. It can dilate…

I’d like to suggest that you try a little experiment… Next time you get out of the shower, skip the deodorant/antiperspirant. Go about your daily life for several hours and then take a quick sniff of one of your underarms. I can almost guarantee the results of this experiment. You’ll likely find…

Vibrators cannot “desensitize” anyone in any permanent way. There have never been any findings through sound research which have shown that vibrators or other vigorous stimulation of the clitoris do anyone harm or change anyone’s anatomy or sexual response permanently. Sure, they can kind of numb…

Sounds to me like you could use some good, old-fashioned vulva reclaiming. And it’s so not just you that does, I swear. Let’s start by tossing out terms like “va-jay-jay.” Seriously, when television writers – on a medical show, of all things – have to be cute about it you know we’re living in a…

A lot of people don’t realize that there are changes to the vulva during puberty. The labia and clitoris so expand some, and in addition, because of the rest of your body growing and changes in your body composition, the mons of the vulva tends to pull back, which can result in the inner labia…

“Where the heck do the eggs go?” is a pretty common question around here, whether someone on a hormonal method is asking, or someone NOT on a method is asking. After all, when an egg isn’t fertilized it’s got to go somewhere, too. And when someone understands that we are born with WAY more ovum –…

The technical term for “blue balls” is vasocongestion. It really isn’t about balls at all, and it happens to people of all genders. Here’s the deal: when any of us gets very sexually aroused, one thing that happens is that our whole pelvic area tends to fill with blood. That’s how penises get…

Oh sweetie, please please please don’t try cutting anything off your body. You could very easily end up doing serious nerve damage, causing scarring, getting an infection, bleeding out, or all sorts of other bad (and very serious) consequences. So let’s forget entirely the idea of cutting off bits…

I sure can, and I’m glad you asked. Know what? Some gay men do NOT like having any sort of anal sex. Enjoyment of anal sex does not define or determine homosexuality, and lack of enjoyment of anal sex does not define or determine heterosexuality. So, a guy can be gay and yet not be all that…

You probably put the word cherry in quotes because you’re not exactly sure what on earth it even is. That’s understandable, since nobody really does, as it’s not something real. Usually, when people talking about “cherry-popping,” when it comes to sex, they are colloquially saying that someone…
