Protips for a Happy Vagina

I'm pretty sure i've posted something along these lines before, but way too many women are completely unaware of how their own anatomy works so, here's to you ladies. Go get a copy of Greys Anatomy or google anatomical vagina and learn some stuff. This is a responce to a poster on another forum asking about how her vagina is supposted to smell. She indicated a sour smell. Here is my responce. Vaginas do have a natural scent to them. If your crotch smells like a dumpster, or the ocean, or the bay at low tide, you've most likely got BV (Bacterial vaginosis) this is NOT an sti/std, it's just an imbalance in the bacterial flora. It can happen for 1 of 1000 reasons. You may need to see the doctor, but there is a product out there called RePhresh (can be found in any target/cvs/walmart/whatever) that is made to deal with BV. Doctors will often put you on antifungals to deal with BV. They'll put you on Antibiotics to deal with yeast infections. You can try...

Birth Control and Swinging Part II - The Pill

[[ I'll start this off by saying I'm not a doctor , again, so if you have any questions about your specific sexual or overall health, your health care practitioner would be the person to as ('cause they know stuff about your dangly bits and whatnot) ]] The birth control pill is a chemical method of birth control (and department of redundancy department is redundant). As of right now it is being made for women only.  There are two types of pills available, estrogen and progesterone pills.  They do the same thing in two different ways.  When used correctly, the pill is considered over 99% effective.  They can't say 100% for anything because there is always a chance. The human body is a miraculous thing and weird shit happens all the time.  The pill only protects against pregnancy. It does not protect against any kind of STD or STI. How it works:   Birth control pills inhibit pregnancy in three ways. 1. When taken properly, the pill will keep ...

Birth Control and Swinging Part I - Condoms

I'll start this off by saying I'm not a doctor so if you have any questions about your specific sexual or overall health, your health care practitioner would be the person to as ('cause they know stuff about your dangly bits and whatnot). This is going to be a multi-installment segment in the blog. I tried doing this in one fell swoop and it got very very overwhelimg.  I've been on some form of contraception since I started having sex, and since then, I've found a lot of good information, and a whole lot of bad information.  These posts are to help weed out some of the bad stuff.   There is a lot of research that goes into these posts.  For this post I seem to have lost my resources,  I'll post the list as soon as I find it. So, a vast majority of swingers don't swing to get children sired by different fathers. There is a fetish for this, that fetish is not tied to swinging, it is very very separate. Like super extra double deluxe separate.  I b...

Birth Control and Swinging

I'll start this off by saying I'm not a doctor so if you have any questions about your specific sexual or overall health, your health care practitioner would be the person to as ('cause they know stuff about your dangly bits and whatnot). So, a vast majority of swingers don't swing to get children sired by different fathers. There is a fetish for this, that fetish is not tied to swinging, it is very very separate. Like super extra double deluxe separate.  I believe it has to do with a kind of cuckolding breeding fetish? I don't have that fetish so I can't tell ya. (Do you have that fetish? Tell me about it!) Birth control. There are many many different types. I will go over the pros and cons of each and how they relate to swinging and what they do to your body and protect you from. Read on! " Condoms may not protect from everything, but neither do seat belts - they are just the most practical and effective choice at hand to reasonably minimize ris...

Thinking about swinging? See your doctor.

If you're serious about swinging, or just care about your overall sexual health. The first thing I would suggest is going to your OBGYN (female) or general practitioner (male) and get screened for all the STI/STDs you can think of. If your insurance sucks (like mine) try a free of low-cost clinic (if you're in college your on campus health center will be able to either do the testing for you, or tell you where you can get it done). Planned Parenthood usually offers low cost testing. Most major city and suburb areas have clinics locally. Your doctor (or a good google search) will be able to tell you where you can find a good one. If you're going to a free clinic, be prepared to wait a bit to get seen so give yourself some time. If you have a steady partner, go together, you'll have each other there, and you'll both be able to get your results. I would recommend EVERYTHING, just as a baseline; AIDS/HIV, hepatitis, herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HPV, bacte...
