Catdog replied to the topic What's the worst sex-related injury you've heard of? in the forum Sex & Relationships 4 years, 3 months ago
Had to look up the term of a penis cramp and what it consists of and I can confirm it’s totally a thing. Had it happen a few times but never to the point where I had burst a blood vessel down there.
All my injuries related to sex are from silly things like slipping over whilst trying to do it in the shower etc.
Holy moly accidental anal. I had…[Read more]
Catdog replied to the topic How do you tell someone you're not feeling it mid-way through? in the forum Sex & Relationships 4 years, 3 months ago
Yeah I feel that is reason enough to warrant wanting to stop. It’s completely fine and normal to stop if you say you’re not feeling it anymore at any time.
For me intimacy is so much more about making my partner feel good and comfortable. If they aren’t into it at the time I would absolutely want them to tell me that.
Catdog replied to the topic Appropriate ways to approach people? in the forum Sex & Relationships 4 years, 3 months ago
@tea I think you hit the nail on the head there. Really respecting the other persons boundaries and going in without out any expectations is huge consideration.
My friend thanks you guys because he been keeping up to date with this thread and has gone out and done pretty much exactly what you experienced at the bookshop @tea. He has gotten a…[Read more]

@tea No I have never heard of her. I’ll have to check her out. Can you recommend any specific interviews?
Catdog started the topic Appropriate ways to approach people? in the forum Sex & Relationships 4 years, 4 months ago
My friend is recently back on the dating scene and does meet too many new people in his day to day life. He’s on dating apps etc. but he likes more of an organic approach so this doesn’t work so well for him.
We have been discussing this between us quite a bit lately. He talks about possibly approaching women he see’s and is attracted to, and…[Read more]

@tea Haha I agree. As long as it doesn’t stop you from doing other things in your life there isn’t really a definitive limit to it.
Catdog replied to the topic Survey results: Attitudes towards consent in the forum Sex & Relationships 4 years, 4 months ago
Gosh these are really surprising. They are much higher than I would have thought. I find it super crazy when you put these numbers in perspective, for example, that statistically speaking that one of my four brothers would believe that saying about revenge porn. It’s really staggering and quite shocking actually.
In terms of how we change…[Read more]
Catdog replied to the topic How effective is pulling out during sex? in the forum Sex & Relationships 4 years, 4 months ago
Totally agree with you @tea. I don’t think it’s an effective way to prevent pregnancy and does nothing when trying to prevent the spread of STI’s. I’ve actually heard it being called the pull and pray method which is probably more accurate.
Despite this I have used this method a few times and continue to do so when needed. I never feel…[Read more]
Catdog replied to the topic How do you have anal sex for the first time? in the forum Sex & Relationships 4 years, 4 months ago
So my friend said pretty much all the typical things like you mentioned before @tea. Sorry I can’t be more help but what he said was make sure its cleaned out the best you can before, use lotsssss of lube, start slow and small (maybe a finger and gradually move up in size as it becomes more comfortable.) And I guess eventually it stretches out a…[Read more]

Found this video the other day about weird methods of contraception throughout history. Some are pretty crazy and weird. Makes me really appreciate the options that we have now haha!
Catdog replied to the topic How do you have anal sex for the first time? in the forum Sex & Relationships 4 years, 4 months ago
I’m quite intrigued too. I’ve got no experience here but my mate has a few lady friends that ask for anal quite regularly. I will get in touch with him and get back to you on this one!
Catdog started the topic Sex in long distance relationships? in the forum Sex & Relationships 4 years, 4 months ago
Long term relationships are never ideal but they’re inevitable sometimes and sex remains a big part of a relationship.
Obviously sex isn’t possible but how does a couple compensate for this when distance is a barrier?
Catdog replied to the topic Can you masturbate too much/little? in the forum Sexual Health 4 years, 4 months ago
I think you guys raised a good point about the social impacts it may have. I’ve chatted to a bunch of my mates over the last few days about this and they’ve said if anything its affected socially. A lot of them found that when they thought they were doing it too much they felt much more anti-social and felt far less incentive to try to meet people…[Read more]
Catdog started the topic Can you masturbate too much/little? in the forum Sexual Health 4 years, 4 months ago
Masturbation tends to be a fairly common topic of discussion among guys, at least in my group of friends. I’ve always found it interesting how people differ on this topic. Some people masturbate several times a day, whereas others hardly do it at all.
I think most people can agree that masturbation is a normal and natural thing. However, is…[Read more]
Catdog replied to the topic Condom recommendations? in the forum Sex & Relationships 4 years, 5 months ago
I went with Durex Fetherlite condoms. Way different to the condoms I’ve tried previously. Liking them so far. I’ll have to Ansell Skyn condoms though if you both recommend them.
@stephaniaaaah @earthmama The first condom I ever saw or touched was a vibrating one. I was too young to know what condoms were at the time and I was tricked into holding…[Read more]

@nurse_nettie Damn I wish I had known this before. Thanks for the information! I will definitely go to a bulk billing clinic next time and save my money! haha
Catdog replied to the topic Am I STI free if my partner is? in the forum Sex & Relationships 4 years, 5 months ago
@mintmilano Agreed. I think it’s best to have that assurance. It may be a little stressful getting tested but I think knowing for sure is far more important and gratifying.
@superstarv I wouldn’t fret too much. Smart decision to go get tested I think. Like MintMilano said chances are that if your partner is fine then probably you’re okay too but…[Read more]

My partner is going off their birth control for a little while so we’ll be relying on condoms primarily now.
Any type or brand recommendations? Not bought any for a long while and there’s too much choice haha.
Catdog replied to the topic Contraception myths in the forum Sexual Health 4 years, 5 months ago
@aunt_flo I didn’t want to pry too much so I’m not entirely sure. However, I think she mentioned that she had issues with hormone birth control and they didn’t like condoms.
@nurse_nettie Wow! I kind of laughed off this method when I heard about it. Amazed that there is legitimacy to this method.
I don’t think I would be organised enough to…[Read more]
Catdog replied to the topic Body Neutrality… What is it?? in the forum Hanging Out 4 years, 5 months ago
I really like the idea of body neutrality and how it shifts the focus away from appearance. However, I feel like it is so much harder to appreciate something that isn’t too visible like our body processes. Also Im so normalised to those things that our body does that I kind of take it for granted.
I think there has to be a place for both body…[Read more]
