I consume sex ed related material on the web at an alarming rate. I always have my nose in a blog or video. The misconceptions I come across about silicone personal lubricants are plenty.

We need to get our act together and provide realistic, comprehensive sex ed in schools.

September 12th, 2012 is Global Female Condom Day.  I am so thankful I discovered the many joys of female condoms so, of course, I’m here to spread the word! Contrary to popular belief, female condoms can be used by people of any gender in man/woman, woman/woman or man/man sexual encounters. To learn more, watch my Youtube video below to find [...]

It’s Anal August! To celebrate I’ve put together a video about safer analingus (and bonus safer cunnilingus too!). Most of us know we can use dental dams for oral sex but did you know you can also use a condom or a latex glove (or latex alternative glove if you have a latex allergy)?  Also one of these options allows [...]

Those of us 40 and under grew up during the dawning of HIV/AIDS.  We know how important condoms are and we would never dream of engaging in unprotected intercourse.  Never, ever, EVER.  It’s just [...]
