Wondering if anyone has experience of telling a potential sexual partner that they have an STI? Or have you been in the position of someone disclosing to you that they have one? How did you/that person deal with the information? It’s so important to be open with potential partners if you have an STI but its a scary conversation to have! There are…[Read more]

Hey @kris, I totally know what you mean that it can be challenging to flirt online. I would agree with @champagnepapi that it takes the pressure to ‘flirt’ off if you treat it like a conversation. Be chatty and always be yourself. I would also say that I find emojis useful to lighten the tone and be a bit more cheeky. Throw a wink in there every…[Read more]

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]

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!

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]

Just bringing this back up as i’ve recently come off the pill and am using condoms as my sole contraceptive. Anyone have any recent recommendations of their favourite condom brands? Being newly single and no longer taking a birth control pill, I haven’t had to buy any in a while!

Hey @explorer33, this is such a good question! I personally don’t enjoy oral so much and didn’t do it regularly with my ex, who I was with for over 5 years. I think it depends on personal preference as some people really enjoy it. I think if you and your partner know it’s something you like then it can be a fun way to mix up things in the bedroom…[Read more]

Hey @aunt_flo, yes I think it’s just one of those inevitable things about being in a long term relationship. The ‘honeymoon’ phase doesn’t last forever!

I’ve been trying to do more yoga and meditation recently which has been helping with my mood. I do think COVID has made all emotions a lot more heightened so it’s good to take that time out and…[Read more]

Hey @raincoat, thanks for sharing! That thread is really helpful.

Since my last post I have decided to take a break from the pill completely. I’ve been on it for so long that I want to give my body a break and see if my libido picks up. I am intrigued as to how my body might change coming off it after so long. @nursenettie is there anything I…[Read more]

@trayl_blayza I totally agree. It would be very strange wearing a face mask during sex and i’m thinking the social distancing would be another issue. Welcome to sex in 2020. I am recently single and intrigued to how things will go dating during COVID restrictions. I’d love ay advice people have to still have fun while staying safe.

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.

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!

@aunt_flo @piperr42 totally agree! It is SO much effort to keep up the perceived ideas of what body hair should look like. I’m a ‘shave once a week’ kind of girl but sometimes catch myself forgetting! I have noticed more and more that women are letting their hair grow out which is so empowering! One thing that annoys me about the way we are told…[Read more]

Hey @champagnepapi, it can be a real challenge! I have found that as time goes on and the ‘honeymoon’ phase ends you get comfortable with each other (which is great) but the intense passion can fizzle out. It can be fun to try something different like toys to get some excitement, or maybe role play?

In terms of the non-monogamy, I think it works…[Read more]

Hey @sextronaut and @aunt_flo, I completely agree with running out of things to talk about! When you are both out at work for the day, even if it’s little things that happened you still have something to share and ask “how was your day?” When you are in the same house all day it gets a little tricky! I think it’s all been about realising…[Read more]

This is definitely great advice!
