YogiGirl replied to the topic What IS female ejaculation? in the forum Sexual Health 1 year, 2 months ago
Hey @tea, that’s so interesting that there’s been no research on it for 20 years.
I feel like it’s a bit of a novelty thing because of the way it’s spoken about, almost like a challenge. I’ve never done it myself but am intrigued as to how to get there. Do you think everyone is capable of it? Or, like our bodies all being different, maybe some…[Read more]
tea replied to the topic Talking during sex in the forum Sex & Relationships 1 year, 5 months ago
Totally true @mintmilano, I suppose communication can be a whole lot more than talking too!
@aunt_flo OMG, yes the running out of things to say is something I really struggled with too! What more can I say other than “mm that feels so good” but you’re so right, little noises and things like that can be just as effective.
Sometimes things just…[Read more]
Nurse_Nettie replied to the topic Can you use an internal condom for anal sex? in the forum Sexual Health 1 year, 11 months ago
@aunt_flo yeah, female/internal condoms definitely aren’t as widely available as traditional condoms. Most people probably buy them online or from Family Planning NSW clinics. Some women’s health clinics and pharmacies also have them though.
YogiGirl replied to the topic Telling your partner your sexual needs in the forum Sex & Relationships 2 years ago
@aunt_flo I definitely recommend finding your voice when it comes to expressing your sexual needs. At the end of the day, it’s for everyone involved to get maximum enjoyment. I think you’ve just got to make it seem like a positive that you feel comfortable enough to do so rather than worrying about it being a mood killer π
YogiGirl replied to the topic STI specific dating apps in the forum Sex & Relationships 2 years ago
Yes so true @trayl_blayza and @aunt_flo. It would be refreshing to live in a world free from STI stigmas! At the end of the day, we are so much more than an STI positive status.
DirtyChai replied to the topic You can now get the pill delivered to your door in the forum Sexual Health 2 years, 1 month ago
I’ve just joined this forum so thought I would weigh in on my experience as a consumer of Kin Fertility’s contraceptive delivery service π
I initially began using this service in around March/April. My main motivator for this was as you identified @aunt_flo , I didn’t really want to have to go and sit in my GP’s waiting room to get a script for…[Read more]

Hey @aunt_flo and @yogigirl! I agree its an interesting concept, that probably plays a part for some people.
But wouldn’t it be great if we lived in a society where such a concept wasn’t needed! There wasn’t any shame or stigma about STIs, and we all just accepted each other for who we are, rather than whether we’ve come into contact with a…[Read more]

Hey @aunt_flo I think the same that it must be a relief to not have to bring it up directly.
You are right though, there is nothing wrong with having an STI and it’s a conversation that we should all be having before sleeping with a new sexual partner π
YogiGirl replied to the topic Having sex with new partners after a long term relationship in the forum Sex & Relationships 2 years, 2 months ago
Thanks @champagnepapi and @aunt_flo π It’s definitely been weird getting used to single life after such a long time with the same person! I’ve been taking lots of time to explore new hobbies and getting my new home set up, so it’s all feeling very positive.
Thanks for the great advice. I think as i’m not wanting to rush into anything the slow…[Read more]
YogiGirl replied to the topic Is flirting okay in relationships? in the forum Sex & Relationships 2 years, 2 months ago
This is an interesting one @aunt_flo. I would say, think about how you would feel if the situation was reversed and it was your partner flirting with others. If it feels hurtful then that probably answers the question. I think you can tell if something feels honest or if alarm bells are saying that you are crossing a line. Personally I just feel…[Read more]
champagnepapi replied to the topic Is flirting okay in relationships? in the forum Sex & Relationships 2 years, 3 months ago
Great question @aunt_flo! I’m always keen to hear the spectrum of opinions that invariably come up in this debate.
Personally, I’ve grappled with issues of jealousy and possessiveness for YEARS, ever since my first relationship. It’s not something I’ve ever been able to get comfortable with, and I attribute that to my attachment style (highly…[Read more]
YogiGirl replied to the topic Spill the beans. Whatβs your best or worst dating story? in the forum Sexual Health 2 years, 3 months ago
Wow @potplant that sounds intense! @aunt_flo parents on the first date is a lot too. I recently went on a Bumble date with a guy who freely admitted his pictures were two years old (first mistake) then he got really drunk and started shouting to everyone in the pub that I was “a treat”. Needless to say, I made a speedy exit!
trayl_blayza replied to the topic Spill the beans. Whatβs your best or worst dating story? in the forum Sexual Health 2 years, 3 months ago
@aunt_flo Meeting the parents on a first date!?!? What’s with that?? Though not sure which is more awkward – that or being recruited to a cult… π

Hey @earthmama @potplant @goldenrose @aunt_flo, how are you all finding things a few months on? I thought by now we would be back to more of a state of normality but the pub check ins are still very much a thing! One of the main struggles i’m having is with everything feeling so regimented. I get that it’s for our safety to beat the virus but I…[Read more]
YogiGirl replied to the topic Advice for mis-matched libido in the forum Sex & Relationships 2 years, 4 months ago
Hey @aunt_flo, yes I think it’s just one of those inevitable things about being in a long term relationship. The ‘honeymoon’ phase doesn’t last forever!
I’ve been trying to do more yoga and meditation recently which has been helping with my mood. I do think COVID has made all emotions a lot more heightened so it’s good to take that time out and…[Read more]
YogiGirl replied to the topic Body hair in the forum Sex & Relationships 2 years, 5 months ago
@aunt_flo @piperr42 totally agree! It is SO much effort to keep up the perceived ideas of what body hair should look like. I’m a ‘shave once a week’ kind of girl but sometimes catch myself forgetting! I have noticed more and more that women are letting their hair grow out which is so empowering! One thing that annoys me about the way we are told…[Read more]
YogiGirl replied to the topic How to have a healthy relationship during COVID-19! in the forum Sex & Relationships 2 years, 5 months ago
Hey @sextronaut and @aunt_flo, I completely agree with running out of things to talk about! When you are both out at work for the day, even if it’s little things that happened you still have something to share and ask “how was your day?” When you are in the same house all day it gets a little tricky! I think it’s all been about realising…[Read more]
Nurse_Nettie replied to the topic Is it safe to get a tattoo near the implant? in the forum Nurse Nettie 2 years, 5 months ago
@aunt_flo, there’s no need to avoid the entire bicep/tricep area. As implants are usually placed on the inside of the non dominant arm, having the tattoo on the front of the arm is totally fine. It’s just best to avoid tattooing over or near the implant.
