Attitude Adjustment
A recent study found that three-quarters of doctors (74%) are likely to prescribe extended-use oral contraceptives—the ones that let you go longer between periods. More than any other factor, the doctors who prescribed the extended-use contraceptives shared “a positive attitude toward skipping periods.” Doctors aren’t supposed to let their personal feelings influence how they treat […]
You, him, and Aunt Flow: Sex and your period
For most guys, choosing between period sex and no sex is a no brainer. They’re gonna choose period sex because having sex is always better than no sex. But what about the blood? The smell? The mess?

Phil, 28, male condom
You can’t argue with Phil and his girlfriend when they say condoms are easy to get and use. We also love Phil’s observation that they help guys last longer.
