Hey @rolldaniel
Definitely agree with @champagnepapi here. Sexuality can often go through peaks and troughs and also people just go through peaks and troughs in terms of how good they are feeling. Perhaps just leave it a bit for now and work on enjoying each others company and building a relationship. Then when the time is right you can both…[Read more]

PotPlant replied to the topic What if my partner won't wear a condom? in the forum Sexual Health 2 years ago
Hi everyone, thanks all so much for your ideas and thanks particularly @goldenrose for linking that other thread.
We ended up just not having sex because I didn’t want to do it without a condom! Unfortunately this happens sometimes but I honestly wasn’t even in the mood anymore because of it. It’s good to…[Read more]
PotPlant replied to the topic Asking someone to wear a condom… how do you do it?! in the forum Sexual Health 2 years ago
Omg this is such a struggle. In my past experience with one night stands as a gay man, you just have to be really insistent with them and tell them that you won’t have sex without a condom. I think also for a lot of guys sometimes normal condoms can be too tight or constricting, so bringing things like extra large condoms or…[Read more]

In this article, women share things that they wish men would stop copying from porn. One that really resonated with me is hair pulling and going really fast, I really don’t enjoy this that much as it’s a bit rough for me (but everyone’s different!)
What are some of the thing…[Read more]
PotPlant started the topic Flavoured Condoms: Yay or nay? in the forum Sexual Health 2 years, 1 month ago
What do you guys think of flavoured condoms?
I don’t mind them, and they add a little spice for oral sex. Strawberry is my favourite flavour.
Has anyone ever used them? What’s your favourite?
PotPlant replied to the topic Telling your partner your sexual needs in the forum Sex & Relationships 2 years, 1 month ago
I feel like communication is not only important because it makes it easier for you to get pleasure, but also, many people are very turned on by their partner being turned on and experiencing pleasure. Then you’ll be having better sex and feeling better. So it’s a win win situation!
PotPlant started the topic Have you ever had a condom break? What did you do? in the forum Sexual Health 2 years, 2 months ago
Has anyone ever had a condom break on them? What did you do to deal with this?
I’ve had partners break the condom because it was too small and others that had it slip off them.
I’ve also had the condom get trapped inside of me while they pulled out.
Thankfully in these cases I was able to get it out safely so that there wasn’t any ejaculate in…[Read more]
PotPlant replied to the topic When to tell someone you have an STI in the forum Sexual Health 2 years, 2 months ago
I think a month into a relationship is a really good time. Thankfully, most STIs are highly treatable, so I think if you talk about having had an STI and you know the research behind it and can explain why its no longer a danger I think many partners would not mind.
However I think it depends on the STI. If you had chlamydia and you no…[Read more]
PotPlant replied to the topic Facing rejection when dating in the forum Sex & Relationships 2 years, 2 months ago
Hi @yogigirl
This is definitely the way to go! For 3 years I had casual dates with people time after time but either I was rejected or I didn’t click with them. I feel as though working on yourself can have nothing but a positive effect. My current partner that I’ve been with for 2 years I met after a spree of working on myself while also putting…[Read more]
PotPlant replied to the topic Casual sex and orgasms in the forum Sex & Relationships 2 years, 2 months ago
I agree with @mickymee, you’re definitely not alone in this.
I always used to have a super hard time reaching orgasm with sexual partners. However, I think its not the end of the world if you can’t come. There shouldn’t be any shame attached to it. Like, sometimes your just not in the mood to come or its not…[Read more]
PotPlant replied to the topic What are your favourite sex positions? in the forum Sex & Relationships 2 years, 2 months ago
I’m similar. With a past partner I really enjoyed doggy style. However, with my new partner it feels a bit like an insult as if he doesn’t want to see my face…
Nowadays I much prefer missionary because we are in love and I love looking at his face and it feels fantastic.
I really do want to try some different positions as I…[Read more]
PotPlant replied to the topic Ecosexuals opting not to use condoms to save plastic! in the forum Sexual Health 2 years, 2 months ago
Just an update to this. For those of you that are eco-conscious there is a more eco-friendly alternative to condoms here:
It’s vegan meaning that none of the products in it are derived from animals and its made of latex which degrades faster than plastic. This would be much better than catching an STI I think!

PotPlant started the topic Have you ever asked anyone to have an STI test? What was their reaction? in the forum Sex & Relationships 2 years, 7 months ago
I’ve asked my boyfriends in the past to go get tested at the start of a relationship before having condom-less sex, and its sometimes been hard to convince so I had to be very adamant about it, and really lay down the law.
Has anyone else ever asked anyone to have an STI test? How did they react?

I’ve edged and been edged by different partners in the past. It can be quite fun with the right partner and as @forrestwalker said, can be quite an intense experience. However, not everyone enjoys it. It really depends on personal preference!
PotPlant replied to the topic Sex During Covid – What is everyone doing? in the forum Sex & Relationships 2 years, 7 months ago
@trayl_blayza Too funny… This is not too related to sexual health but just generally I’ve found N95 masks quite good when walking around the city. Theres a bit more space for your mouth so its easier to breath. It also prevents some of the fumes from passing cars from being inhaled. Perhaps this might be the go for sex as well?

During the worst date I ever went on the man I met on grindr who turned out to be a cult member. We went for a walk in the park and half way through the date attempted to recruit me to his cult. Needless to say I excused myself and got away from him post haste.
I’m wondering what were your worst dates. Were they through an app? Or an online…[Read more]
