I’m actually terrible at dating profiles too! I think this video about dating profiles is amazing – I wish I found it when I was using dating apps!

@weird_flex great question! I’m looking at changing my menstrual cup soon too and the sizing choices are a bit overwhelming, too! Trying them out does seem like the best option but they’re a pretty expensive investment to make if you’re just seeing how they fit. I’m under the impression that some companies base sizing off whether or not you’ve…[Read more]

Great topic @earthmama! My main advice for great casual sex would be communication, consent, gentle starts and safety. Open-mindedness is fantastic so long as it’s balanced with communicated boundaries. 🙂 Washed hands is also super important for any sexual encounter, too. Ideally, I like to discuss safe sex options and contraception prior to…[Read more]

Thanks @nurse_nettie!

I’ve also fallen off the wagon @will, and struggling to find something that works for my schedule that I really love and will stick to. I reeeeaally want to try pilates but the gyms in sydney are so expensive. Does anyone have any ideas on how to try it out cheaply?

@aunt_flo amazing! You’ll have to let us know how you get on with it

great topic @tea! I had no idea about the ‘menarche’ – how interesting!

My first period wasn’t super eventful – I seeing blood in my undies one morning, and I wasn’t too panicked because I knew what it was (thanks mum!). I was mostly just stressed throughout the day – I went to the bathroom so many times because I was sure I would leak everywhere…[Read more]

thanks @tea!

@tea I have too many to list right now but I’ll break them down into categories and sort them out at a later time! I mostly use instagram, youtube, podcasts, facebook, websites and books. Anyone looking over my shoulder at my phone on my journey to work every day on buses have a great time, I’m sure! hahaha.

@tea that sounds amazing!

Oh wow was an amazing thread this has turned into!! Thanks for sharing your story, everyone! I’m so happy to hear we’re all on our own journey of self discovery.

@will that group session sounds amazing! What was the best thing you took away from it?
Also, I have to agree with @tea. Terms like ‘gold star lesbian’/’platinum gay’ were really…[Read more]

@stephaniaaaah @goldenrose keep your eyes peeled for season 4 on july 12 friends!

@tea I’ve had exactly the same experience! Thank god for the internet for making me feel normal!

@tea I totally agree. More websites like Play Safe, I say!

@tea absolutely!! I told a female friend about this and her first reaction was ‘rubbing it on their shoulders?! Is the only way they can get men to use contraception is if they rub it on their muscles?!’ 😂😂😂
Probably not the case, obviously. But I am curious about why the gel is meant to be placed up on the shoulder!

If you enjoyed this article I’ve just found another one written by the brilliant creators of Unbound – Polly Rodriguez and Sarah Jayne Kinney. With some brilliant quotes:

‘This dichotomy exists because a man’s ability to have an erection is considered a health concern, based on the biological fact that a man must orgasm in order to procreate. A…[Read more]

Thanks for the support @goldenrose and @aunt_flo! I’ve managed to have a few individual catch ups in the last couple of weeks which has been super super nice. I’m also looking to find a new gym and start doing things semi-regularly so hopefully I’ll find some sort of group through that. Making friends is harder than dating, I find!

Hey @aunt_flo! Sorry you had such an awful migraine – sounds really painful.
I’ve never had an IUD but I consider it all the time. I’m mostly put off by the pain of insertion and the cramping in the hours after, as well as side effects (messing up my period and pain) and my partner feeling the strings during sex. I totally know what you mean…[Read more]
