Bodies

Before I say anything else, understand that you’ve got nothing to be scared about here, okay? You also don’t need to feel embarrassed about not knowing this stuff: not only do plenty of adult women not know either, it’s certainly not your fault that no one has given you thorough sex education or…

Hey, Monica! You know, weird feelings after sexual activities of all sorts are something that is reported pretty frequently by folks. There could be a couple of reasons for this. First of all, when we’re sexually active, we tend to become more aware of our bodies than we were before. Normal gas or…

No, panty crust is a normal result of vaginal discharge. Normally, it’s just cervical mucus. If she has an infection, it may contain other things (like pus). Cervical mucus – like all mucus – dries out to a solid; there’s not much of it left compared to its original volume since mucus is mostly…

You know, there are good reasons why we distinguish fantasy from reality. If your boyfriend not only expects that both of you CAN do everything he sees in pornography, but also that you will both – and not just because one of you does – even WANT to, then he needs a reality check. You don’t need…

Nothing in the world is wrong with you. We explain this a lot here, but I’ll say it again: the majority of women do NOT reach orgasm through vaginal intercourse alone. You’re not the only one asking, either. Sadly, more women than not have just never been informed as to how their sexual anatomy…

Not only can you not stop your vagina and vulva from lubricating, that is what HAPPENS to people with vaginas when we become sexually aroused. It’s supposed to, ideally, because if we’re not lubricated, vulval and vaginal sex – as well as some kinds of clitoral stimulation – doesn’t feel very good…

When you don’t know the answer to something or can’t find it, it’s never, ever stupid to ask a question. What would be stupid is NOT to ask! Too, women – and plenty of people of other genders – are very often taught little to nothing about their sexual response systems and cycles, so not knowing…

People with vaginas do not always bleed during or after sex. But when they do bleed during or after sex and it’s not because of menses, then it’s due to some injury in the vagina or vulva. As well, some sexually transmitted infections – Chlamydia is a biggie for this – can cause bleeding with or…

You know, I always feel for heterosexual or bisexual folks when they clearly have paid attention to this stuff, done the reading or just talked to women, put it all together and have that “Whoah!” moment about this issue. With so many people reared to think that male-female vaginal intercourse is…
