Yeah good point @earthmama! So where/how do we meet new people now?? It’s so much easier to ask someone out through an app than face-to-face, this is an interesting forum post realted to this: Appropriate ways to approach people? maybe we can take some tips from there?
GoldenRose replied to the topic Flavoured condoms in the forum Sexual Health 4 years, 1 month ago
That’s actually a really interesting point @sextronaut! I didn’t even consider the fact that the extra chemicals may cause infections. Will probably steer clear of them actually then, I too have a sensitive vag haha.
That sounds like a fun job! Definitely let us know what you think of them. I’ve actually never used lube either tbh.
GoldenRose replied to the topic What is ethical porn? in the forum Sex & Relationships 4 years, 1 month ago
@earthmama that’s a good tip! I’ve also heard of erotic podcasts/audio books too but I’ve never checked them out.
I’ve always found it hard to get into mainstream porn as I guess I find it either unbelievable or degrading so I think ethical porn is the way for me!
GoldenRose replied to the topic Are the apps on the way out? in the forum Sex & Relationships 4 years, 1 month ago
I haven’t used Tinder or Bumble since probably around February this year! I just found that there wasn’t as many people who sparked my interest using it anymore. I feel like it definitely died down and people aren’t even talking about it much anymore.
Although with summer coming up I was considering getting back on it just cause I know…[Read more]
GoldenRose replied to the topic Buying contraception online in the forum Sexual Health 4 years, 2 months ago
@tea I had a look at the website (Simple Health) and it looks like the initial “consult” is done on the website by filling out your own medical history and personal preferences which is then reviewed by a doctor online. This is based in the U.S. so maybe they have different regulations when it comes to prescriptions and birth control?
I think…[Read more]
GoldenRose replied to the topic What is ethical porn? in the forum Sex & Relationships 4 years, 2 months ago
I’ll have to check out Erika Lust then!
@sextronaut that’s a really good point about biting the bullet when it comes to paying, I feel like that would be the main barrier for people accessing ethical porn especially when there are loads of free options available but I think it’s worth it.
@aunt_flo that’s so true! How good would it be to see…[Read more]
GoldenRose replied to the topic Body positivity for men in the forum Sex & Relationships 4 years, 2 months ago
I’m with you @stephaniaaaah, love a good dad bod!
I agree that there’s not a lot of body positivity out there for men and also a lot of pressure to look a certain way, even with things such as height which can’t be changed. I see so many posts/memes online and even talking to friends about people only being interested in tall men and I feel like…[Read more]
GoldenRose replied to the topic How do you make casual sex great? in the forum Sex & Relationships 4 years, 2 months ago
Such good advice @kitkat!
That’s a good question @EarthMama… I maybe am less nervous/awkward when sleeping with someone who I wouldn’t really hang out with otherwise cause I’m less worried of what they think as sometimes I find myself being worried about you know how I look or sound during sex (which I should’t be!).
GoldenRose replied to the topic Buying contraception online in the forum Sexual Health 4 years, 2 months ago
That’s a good point too @sextronaut!
GoldenRose replied to the topic Buying contraception online in the forum Sexual Health 4 years, 3 months ago
Oh that’s a good point about delivery and storage! @aunt_flo I didn’t even think about that, but yeah packages often taken 3-5 business days to get to people and could be sitting in a hot van for hours.
I agree, having a proper face-to-face consultation first before starting any medication and while you’re on it to see how you are reacting to it…[Read more]
GoldenRose started the topic Buying contraception online in the forum Sexual Health 4 years, 3 months ago
I recently saw an ad on Youtube for a website where you can buy contraceptive pills online (I think it may have only been based in America). They said that you fill out a survey about your medical history first but I’m still not 100% sure if it’s a good idea or not.
I can see how it would be a good option for those who find it uncomfortable…[Read more]
GoldenRose replied to the topic Instagram removes likes?! in the forum Hanging Out 4 years, 3 months ago
I’m so for Instagram removing likes!
Since they’ve removed them I get less anxious about posting pictures, beforehand I would even stress about what time to post the picture for ‘optimal’ likes. I like it will encourage people to post what they actually want to post rather than what will get the most likes.
It’s kind of disheartening when you…[Read more]

@sextronaut Oh I really should invest in a pair of period undies, they just seem so convenient!
GoldenRose replied to the topic Are young people having less sex????? in the forum Sex & Relationships 4 years, 3 months ago
That’s so interesting! I can totally see how technology would be influencing this.
I think as well the nature of relationships is changing and marriage isn’t as much of a priority as it used to be. I feel like casual relationships/dating and hookups are much more prominent and people are getting married later in life and focusing on other things…[Read more]

I use a Diva Cup which only had too options when I bought it; size 1 for if you have not had baby and size 2 for if you have had a baby. I use size 1 and I really like it. It does occasionally leak when I am unable to empty it out for a long period of time on the day that my flow is the heaviest but it is only ever a little but so it doesn’t…[Read more]

Oh no a white skirt! Lucky it didn’t distract you from your game though.
I was lucky with my first period as I got it when I was at home. I think I was almost 12 and I remember having cramps the day before and my mum just knew because she asked if I had any bleeding so I didn’t feel too…[Read more]
GoldenRose replied to the topic Male Contraceptive Gel?! in the forum Sex & Relationships 4 years, 5 months ago
This is such a good idea! It would be good to have more options that don’t mess with our hormones and sex drive.
I wonder though whether it would be similar to taking the pill where you have to rub the gel on at the same time every day and whether other things would affect it effectiveness?
GoldenRose replied to the topic How to feel confident in your sexuality in the forum Sex & Relationships 4 years, 5 months ago
This one is tricky for me because I’ve only ever been with boys but I feel like I am open to dating anyone. I’ve never been in a long-term relationship and have only dated a couple of boys so I feel like my sexuality is still something that I’m figuring out, which is ok too!
GoldenRose replied to the topic We need to talk about YOU (netflix) in the forum Hanging Out 4 years, 6 months ago
So creepy! I feel like the producers have made it so we feel bad for Joe and kind of justify his actions like “oh he had a bad upbringing and he’s doing all this because he loves her”.
It was really interesting to watch but maybe not sending the best message?
