Hi @mintmilano @will

Thanks for sharing! And I definitely think it’s to do with each person’s personal experiences/expectations rather than cultures/ countries.(Reckon I titled this discussion wrong – sorry!)

I think this sums it up from Will:

I think sometimes even with the best availability of free STI testing in some countries, including…

Hi @butterfly01 thanks so much for the question. Surgery can be a bit daunting, so questions / concerns are 100% normal! @nurse_nettie will be able to offer you some advice for sure.

Hi @curiouss my last three partners I’ve met on Tinder (or before that Pof). I’m really open about it. I usually just say ‘we both swiped right 😅’.
To be honest, I reckon that it’s more unusual NOT to meet online nowadays!

@aunt_flo @purple love the idea of a quick lunch date instead so there is none of that ‘when is it polite to leave?’ challenges you get on an evening date! Maybe a before work brekkie date?!

@aunt_flo such a great question!

I reckon there is something to be said about sharing an experience and I think doing something you can both talk about on a first date is the way to go. Rather than just staring awkwardly at each other across a drink.

An art gallery or exhibition
Mini golf – Holey Moley in Sydney is a good call
Paddle boarding,…[Read more]

@champagnepapi @tea I also had to Google it. Never heard of it! Maybe @nurse_nettie can shed some light on what it is and if it’s something we should be thinking about.
I think it’s only a good thing that people are paying more attention to their sexual health (or any health at all) but it is such a fine line between being empowered and falling…[Read more]

Such a small world, but my housemate came home last night after having her implant taken out and was in a right state. It took her doctor 25 minutes of digging around, she bled everywhere and now she has a couple of stitches and a massive bruise. I’ve only ever had mine changed in the UK (will be getting it changed in Australia for the first time…[Read more]

@nurse_nettie Thank you! Not that I have any plans to get preggers at all but I did always wonder if there were any long-term health or fertility implications.
@aunt_flo are you planning on getting one? I sometimes forget it’s there I’ve had it so long!

Hi @aunt_flo

I’ve had the contraceptive implant for 5 years now and love it. I was always terrible at taking the pill and kept forgetting which just gave me a lot of stress. I like the fact that I only have to worry about it every 3 years. I got mine in the UK, so not sure if it is the same timeframe here?

At the start, my periods were more…[Read more]

@tea @earthmama it is so strange that people still think like that. I identify as female and straight and I spend a of a lot of time thinking about sex – and talking to my friends about it! Gender and sexual orientation don’t come into it.

The way I see it? It’s natural to think and talk about the things you enjoy in life. And sex is one of those…[Read more]

Hi @aunt_flo

The second video definitely gives more to think about. I personally think the whole ‘sex positive’ thing can actually be quite a difficult concept as it’s not actually as easy as ‘just get out there, and have all the sex’.

You’ve gotta meet someone you actually want to sleep with first 😅

Good point about the masturbation too! I…[Read more]

Hi @happyfuntime

Interesting question! The vagina is self-cleaning so I imagine that it will ‘self-clean’. However, @nurse_nettie will know for sure! Thanks so much for the question 😀
