Hi @eeva235! It’s true, there’s risks involved when participating in anal sex, but there’s also ways to prevent these risks and keep you safe – so you might not need to say goodbye to anal!
There’s some great posts here on Playsafe that can help you out.

Hey @rodeo14, great question! Sounds like you were taking all the necessary precautions, nice work!
You’re right, a broken condom doesn’t necessarily need to look shredded, it can be a more discreet tear.
@nurse_nettie will be able to point you in the right direction if you’re at risk 🙂
sextronaut replied to the topic Sexting! in the forum Sex & Relationships 3 years, 10 months ago
Sorry for bombarding! I know that when I was first starting out with sexting (which is one of my favourite past times now) I scrolled endlessly through the internet trying to find some inspiration – everything was just so corny.
So now that I have my own little reference list, I feel like I owe it to my past self to share it to the world!

Sexting can be really daunting, I find getting into the flow of it eases my nerves the most- otherwise I just spin out by overthinking the whole thing. How do you get around the awkwardness?

Sometimes I need a specific reaction from my partner, here’s how I ask:
How to ask for what you need
“Hiiiii! I really want to send you an amazing nude I just took. I’d love to send it to you but I would need some extra love and compliments if that’s okay?

There are some great tips about sending sexy photos in this thread about sexting. But, I wanted to talk about the written content of messages, specifically asking for consent and making sure everyone’s comfortable (+ share some of my go-to’s – you’re welcome).

sextronaut replied to the topic What is ethical porn? in the forum Sex & Relationships 3 years, 10 months ago
@earthmama it is! There’s different types, too. You can seek out erotic stories/roleplay kind of stories OR just listen to people masturbate/have sex. They’re both super fun!
And yes! It’s actually amazing.
sextronaut replied to the topic Flavoured condoms in the forum Sexual Health 3 years, 10 months ago
I’ve not tried flavoured condoms in fact, I usually stay very far away from them because I’m scared the extra chemicals will give me a yeast infection – yay for a sensitive vag!
I’m so curious if the ‘flavour’ is in the condoms or just in the lube that it’s coated in.
I’ve tried flavoured lube for oral sex though, and it was actually okay! It…[Read more]

@earthmama I freaking love audioporn.
I thought I would report back on my experience with some of Erika Lust’s ethical porn! I’ve only watched one volume so far (there’s 10 to get through, talk about bang for your buck 😉 ). I have to say, with this porn I’m in absolutely no rush to switch it off after I’ve reached orgasm. With free porn sites…[Read more]

@snapesonaplane If you’re talking about how you might experience side effects, it depends on the type of contraception you’re using but most hormonal contraception options can take 3-6 months to really ‘settle’ with your body so you can get a picture of how it might interact with your body long-term.

@stephaniaaaah Still spotting, yeah. Thank god for my period undies, they’re my saving grace right now.
I don’t find the strings too odd, I’m just semi-obsessed with checking them to make sure the IUD hasn’t moved! I’m sure I’ll chill out about it after a few more weeks but right now because it’s so new (and the likelihood of it moving in the…[Read more]

@aunt_flo absolutely! Periods can be absolutely debilitating for some people. Free and accessible healthcare is so important!

Amazing news friends, New Zealand has become the latest country to make IUD’s free, starting from next month. How incredible! As someone who just forked out a couple of hundred dollars to get an IUD in Australia, I am ALL for Australia moving towards this, too. Besides, an IUD is much cheaper for the government than a baby, right?! What are your…[Read more]
sextronaut replied to the topic IUD removal in the forum Sexual Health 3 years, 11 months ago
@tea thank you!! I agree, there should be celebratory parties for a new form of contraception. From all the resources I’ve found, symptoms like irregular bleeding and spotting can last for up to 6 months while your body adjusts to it’s new little anti-baby friend. Hopefully it eases up soon, I’m already sick of having to deal with it and it’s only…[Read more]

Exciting news! This article has announced that California has become the first state in the US to alow for PrEP to be sold without a prescription. I’m so happy to hear that the barriers in accessing life-changing medication are slowly but surely being removed! What do you think about it?
sextronaut replied to the topic IUD removal in the forum Sexual Health 3 years, 11 months ago
@stephaniaaaah it finally happened! It was totally fine, I just haven’t stopped spotting since Saturday. Hopefully it stops soon and I have an easy time with it!
sextronaut replied to the topic Getting an IUD in the forum Sexual Health 3 years, 11 months ago
It happened! Finally! Hilariously, my GP cancelled my appointment (which was supposed to be tomorrow) so that ruined my insertion plans for the third time in a row. I got pretty disheartened and gave up on that clinic and started calling around to see who would get me in this month. During the search I found this article which was actually amazing…[Read more]
