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]

@champagnepapi @yogigirl

Hi everyone, thanks all so much for your ideas and thanks particularly @goldenrose for linking that other thread.

@champagnepapi

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]

@tea @earthmama

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]

@yogigirl

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!

@yogigirl

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]

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]

@goldenrose

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]

@Mickymee

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.

@tea

I really do want to try some different positions as I…[Read more]

Just an update to this. For those of you that are eco-conscious there is a more eco-friendly alternative to condoms here:

https://jonny.com.au/

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!

So funny hearing everyone’s stories!

@liamw

What a crook! That is a very funny story though, people are crazy…

@yogigirl you have to watch the snatch game from the UK one at least! Too funny. They do an excellent margaret thatcher impression

@aunt_flo ooooo i loved the canadian one. Although I was sad when Jimbo left 🙁

Hi @curiousss not sure if this is super relevant anymore because were sort of stepping out of lockdown in NSW at least #prayfornothirdwave #wearamask #gettested. But…

Something that my partner and I did that helped bring a little bit of spice to our relationship during COVID19 lockdown and isolation period was being a bit more experimental in…[Read more]

@jackh

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!

@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?
