champagnepapi replied to the topic How will COVID affect dating ?! in the forum Sex & Relationships 2 years, 10 months ago
@GoldenRose unfortunately we know that people are going to continue breaking social distancing and having casual sex, I wonder if there’s anything we can do to promote safe sex during this time here on the forum for anyone who visits and is considering their options?
I’m still on hinge and I have started talking to someone who I wouldn’t mind…[Read more]
champagnepapi replied to the topic Is porn problematic? in the forum Sex & Relationships 2 years, 10 months ago
Such a complex issue! I appreciate both sides in that a lot of the porn out there is exploitative and portrays some violent acts, as well as unsafe sex. This has a flow on effect to young people who start to internalise some of the messages and apply them to their own lives. But at the same time, porn and sex work is a legitimate income stream for…[Read more]

Sorry! @nurse_nettie
champagnepapi replied to the topic Early period? in the forum Sexual Health 2 years, 10 months ago
I’d wait for nurse nettie to answer but maybe to answer your “is this normal” part, I think it is! My periods are always pretty regular but I do have delays/early ones from time to time. I think it’s a lot to do with what’s going on hormonally, as well as lifestyle factors.
What do you think @nursenettie?

Biggest question – aiden or big?

Yes @EarthMama! I binge watched it about 3 years ago during my uni break – it’s still so modern despite being set in a completely different dating era.
champagnepapi started the topic In this era of technology, is hypochondriasis on the rise? in the forum Sexual Health 4 years, 5 months ago
So I work at a sexual health clinic and see a lot of people coming in who are quite paranoid about STIs and often request testing for things they don’t show symptoms for (last week there was someone who wanted a test for trichomoniasis and some other diseases I had never even heard of). The kicker was that he showed us an article he had found on…[Read more]

@MintMilano The footnotes this week were such a tease! Someone asked that exact question and Rocky totally deflected it. Cheeky bugger.

For all my My Dad Wrote a Porno peeps! It’s back! I had to stop myself from laughing hysterically on the train yesterday. Rocky seems to have refined his writing a little more too. I’m so excited for this season!
champagnepapi replied to the topic Talking during sex in the forum Sex & Relationships 4 years, 6 months ago
I read somewhere that people are more likely to do things if they have positive feelings attached to them – so maybe if you were in the moment and he did something you liked you can be like “i love when you do that, don’t stop”. Once he knows that whatever he’s doing is working he’s gonna keep doing it. Just a bit of classical conditioning theory.…[Read more]
champagnepapi replied to the topic FREE CONDOMS???? in the forum Sexual Health 4 years, 6 months ago
I agree – great post! I’ve overheard conversations on the train where SUPER young kids will be talking about unprotected sex and it worries me a little – spreading this info is so important.
