tea replied to the topic Article: Women share things they wish men would stop copying from porn in the forum Sexual Health 2 years ago
I’m on the hair-pulling train with you @potplant!! It’s not sexy, it just hurts! I’m sure it can be done in a nice soft way, but I haven’t had that happen to me before. I think I’d really like if people communicated more during sex, I feel like that’s a big thing that gets left out in mainstream porn!
tea replied to the topic Have you ever had a condom break? What did you do? in the forum Sexual Health 2 years ago
I’ve never had this happen to me before @potplant but I guess a good way to prevent this from happening is to make sure whoever is wearing the condom has the correct size to begin with. It could be a great pre-sex activity too, trying out different types of condoms and flavours and all of that before getting into things!

Hey @potplant, proud of you for sticking to your morals and saying no. We need to set those boundaries and honour what feels right.
Did you see them again after that or did that put you off completely?
champagnepapi replied to the topic Flavoured Condoms: Yay or nay? in the forum Sexual Health 2 years, 4 months ago
Hey @potplant! I’ve only ever used flavoured lube and quite enjoyed it, are flavoured condoms the same sort of deal taste wise?
YogiGirl replied to the topic Flavoured Condoms: Yay or nay? in the forum Sexual Health 2 years, 5 months ago
Hey @potplant, i’ve actually never used flavoured condoms but kind of like the idea of them adding a playful twist to oral. Might have to give strawberry a try! Any flavours you’d say are a definite no?
YogiGirl replied to the topic Telling your partner your sexual needs in the forum Sex & Relationships 2 years, 5 months ago
Hey @potplant totally! It seems to be a massive turn on for the guys i’ve been with. They love being told how to give me maximum pleasure. Win win for sure!
Raincoat replied to the topic Facing rejection when dating in the forum Sex & Relationships 2 years, 6 months ago
It sounds like it’s been a tricky time navigating the dating game @yogigirl sorry to hear that.
Would definitely agree with @potplant and @trayl_blayza ! As cliche as it sounds focus on you. Getting out there and having fun in different settings to the typical date environment is a great shout.
Don’t be discouraged by experiences like the ‘I’m…[Read more]

Great question @PotPlant! It can be a bit awkward! It’s good to have spares in case a break or a slip off happens 🙂

Hi @PotPlant Thanks for sharing! I love to hear that!
My partner and I are still working from home nearly one year on and we have worked hard (through trial and error and LOTS of communication) on making positive habits of working from home together and now we bicker much less haha!
champagnepapi replied to the topic What if my partner won't wear a condom? in the forum Sexual Health 2 years, 11 months ago
Hey @potplant, any updates on the condom situation? Were you able to reach a resolution with your partner?
YogiGirl replied to the topic What if my partner won't wear a condom? in the forum Sexual Health 2 years, 11 months ago
Hey @potplant, I hate it when this happens! I recently had a similar experience where they were annoyed that I wanted to use one and I had to keep repeating myself. I felt like it just took all the passion and excitement out of the situation while I tried to convince him to do it. I totally agree with you @goldenrose, it’s really off…[Read more]
YogiGirl replied to the topic Spill the beans. What’s your best or worst dating story? in the forum Sexual Health 2 years, 11 months ago
Wow @potplant that sounds intense! @aunt_flo parents on the first date is a lot too. I recently went on a Bumble date with a guy who freely admitted his pictures were two years old (first mistake) then he got really drunk and started shouting to everyone in the pub that I was “a treat”. Needless to say, I made a speedy exit!
Aunt_Flo replied to the topic Spill the beans. What’s your best or worst dating story? in the forum Sexual Health 2 years, 11 months ago
That’s an eventful date @potplant!
I don’t really have a worst, although I had to meet the parents once on a first date. It wasn’t bad, but very awkward!
champagnepapi replied to the topic Spill the beans. What’s your best or worst dating story? in the forum Sexual Health 2 years, 11 months ago
Yikes @PotPlant, sounds like quite the experience! I can’t say anything quite as strange but I do regret one date where I ended up hooking up with him in his car, not my classiest moment hahahaha.
YogiGirl replied to the topic Stepping Back into the World in the forum Hanging Out 2 years, 12 months ago
Hey @earthmama @potplant @goldenrose @aunt_flo, how are you all finding things a few months on? I thought by now we would be back to more of a state of normality but the pub check ins are still very much a thing! One of the main struggles i’m having is with everything feeling so regimented. I get that it’s for our safety to beat the virus but I…[Read more]
trayl_blayza replied to the topic Chlamydia – First hand experiences? in the forum Sexual Health 3 years ago
Hi @potplant!
Great question. I can’t talk from first hand experience, but a lot of people I know have also been diagnosed before. Most of them it came as a bit of a shock, as they hadn’t had any symptoms, and just found out by getting a test. A couple of them said they had unusual symptoms, or something that didn’t feel right, after having had…[Read more]
YogiGirl replied to the topic Anyone here watch Drag Race? in the forum Hanging Out 3 years ago
Hey @potplant, I LOVE Drag Race and Drag Race UK. Have you seen the UK edition? Haven’t checked out Canada yet but i’m all about new series right now so will have to check it out. I feel like it’s the ultimate uplifting show.
YogiGirl replied to the topic Thoughts on a male contraceptive pill in the forum Sex & Relationships 3 years ago
Hey @potplant, yes so true about the side affects to the pill – its definitely something i’ve had issues with myself. It would be interesting to see whether a male contraceptive would affect men in the same way. You definitely have a point with the lack of morning after pill for men. Something I didn’t think about!
piperr42 replied to the topic Online dating during COVID in the forum Sex & Relationships 3 years, 2 months ago
I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one @goldenrose 🙂
Thanks for the advice @potplant and about being honest with it being awkward. Yes, I totally feel the appeal of just having a chat with someone over an app rather than meeting them outside, which is usually the better way to go to get to know each other more. I have been put off having…[Read more]
piperr42 replied to the topic What if my partner won't wear a condom? in the forum Sexual Health 3 years, 2 months ago
Hey @potplant, this is definitely a complicated situation, thanks for being comfortable to share it!
I feel like this always happens to me when I am having sex for the first time with a new partner. It’s definitely tricky to manage, and ideally, you would want to have the conversation before you are in the bedroom so you can avoid it altogether!…[Read more]
