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. Sure, he’ll admit there’s a little loss of sensation, but he thinks it’s totally a reasonable price to pay to be safe. And his girlfriend likes […]

Sean’s girlfriend had a reaction to regular condoms, so she suggested they try the internal condom . He couldn’t believe how big of a difference it made. Both of them feel more free during sex with the internal condom and they like that putting it in is a little bit of foreplay. Sean also says […]

We love a good love story and it doesn’t have to be about two people who are exactly the same age. We’ll cheer on any couple that is good for each other and making this world sweeter, healthier, or happier. But falling for someone who is quite a bit older can have challenges. Here are […]

Long before women could look to the Internet for advice, support, and information, a small group of feminist activists published a book that became a sort of Bible of sexual health. Our Bodies, Ourselves has just been published in its ninth edition and it’s no less relevant than the first, which turns 40 this year. […]

New evidence suggests that teens who masturbate (which includes, surprise!, most of them) may also be more likely to use condoms when they have sex. At least, the ones willing to talk about it say they do. The study relied on a small number of teens who had to have permission from their parents to […]

Can guys buy Plan B? Some guys are cool picking up your tampons from the store. Some avoid the lady products aisle like the plague. Still, it’s good to know that any guy can buy over-the-counter emergency contraception without a prescription. original post

We’ve done it. Seriously, we’ve all done it. We don’t even have to research official statistics to know that 98.9% of us have googled an ex or searched Facebook for a crush. There’s no harm in looking up the kid from 6th grade you once kissed during spin the bottle or trying to see if […]
