History of Abortion

Abortion is as old as pregnancy itself. The world before safe, legal abortions was a dark and bloody place and has much to teach us about why abortion was legalised in the first place. One of the earliest descriptions of abortion can be found in the ancient Ebers Papyrus (1550 B.C.), which recommends using a plant-fibre tampon coated with a compound of honey and crushed dates to terminate a pregnancy.

Vaginismus

Although we typically associate sex with pleasure, connection, and good feelings, for some with vaginas, intercourse can feel exactly the opposite-- painful, frustrating even isolating. This is a condition known as Vaginismus, one of the most common types of Dyspareunia, or what doctors refer to as “painful sex”.

Walter Brackelmanns, Sex Therapist

“The part that I’m pausing over is what is the role of sex therapy with young people when there’s all this open sex? The more open we become and the more accepting we become, and the more aware we become that that we’re not alone, that the problems one has sexually…everybody has them, or lots of people have them. Problems are a part of the human experience. We’re all flawed.”

Around the World and Buck Again

Well, I’m 56 [years old]. I was born in Los Angeles, in the San Fernando Valley. Yeah, I’m 56 and I got into the adult industry 19 years ago. I created the genre of Trans-Male porn. It didn’t exist before I created it in the industry. I grew up a total little “Tomboy”. My parents raised me as a boy. Back in the 60’s, tomboys weren’t a problem.

Neuroscience of Cannabis & Sex

Beyond dispelling the myths of the last century, how does our current understanding of cannabis’ action in the brain inform how it can be used for a healthy sex life? For one, we now recognize that there’s far more to cannabis than just THC, and there’s an extensive array of targets in the brain and body that the cannabinoids act upon to convey their therapeutic and wellness benefits.

Sex Positive Christian

I grew up in a Roman Catholic home with a dad who read Bible stories at bedtime. Although our church attendance was rare, I knew that God loved me. Ever curious, I could talk to my parents about anything spiritual but I noticed the word sex tensed their bodies from head to toe. Therefore, God and my sexuality became powerful forces in my life, wholly separate from one another.

Body Language

Sex launched my journalism career (in a good way!) Although I earn a majority of my living writing about sex, and do so all the time, I’ve hardly ever written about my own sex life. The last time I read something I wrote about my own sex life aloud was in the 11th grade when I read a spoken word poem about all the Smirnoff-scented oral sex I had performed the semester before for a huge assembly of students and staff.

Why Can’t We Talk About Sex?

My first real job was as a paid intern for Planned Parenthood. I was 13 and hadn’t gone “all the way.” I was working in the office at the Santa Monica clinic in Los Angeles in the thick of STD testing with anti-abortionists picketing outside—plunged into the deep end of my “professional” sex education.
