If having sex hurts, see a dr; u might have an infection.

If having sex hurts, see a dr; u might have an infection.

Some people don’t know they have an STD because they don’t have any signs or symptoms at all.  Some people do get symptoms.  Some of the common symptoms of STDs are:

Anal sex can’t get u pregnant but its more dangerous for HIV

“Is anal sex ‘safe sex’?”

No!

Some teens think of anal sex as ‘safe sex’ because you are less likely to get pregnant than with vaginal sex.  The truth is that STDs can easily be passed during unprotected anal sex.  The anus doesn’t produce natural wetness (lubrication) like the vagina does and so can easily get small tears in it during anal sex.  These small tears make it very easy to pass some STD’s into the person’s body (like HIV!).

Why is it so difficult to talk about vaginas?

Just uttering the word “vagina” makes some people cringe. Take, for example, this online video advertisement made by Kotex. In the video, people applying for a job are given inkblot tests during their interviews. However, the inkblots are rigged to resemble genitals! Watch how squeamish the job applicants become when it comes to female reproductive anatomy…

Alternatives to sex: Time for some REAL suggestions!

Let’s say you’re dating or hooking up with someone, but you’ve decided not to have sex (oral, anal, or vaginal). This could be for any number of reasons: you’re both waiting until your STD test results come back, you don’t want to risk getting pregnant, or maybe you’re just not ready to start having sex with that person. This can be a tough situation—how do you have fun and express your sexual feelings without actually having sex?

Twilight & teen sexuality: Bella wants to have sex, Edward doesn’t. Now what?

Posted July 19, 2010 - 3:06pm by ZD

After so much unspoken sexual tension between Bella and Edward in the first couple Twilight movies, I was eager to see what would happen when they finally ended up in the bedroom. Would they have sex? Would they wait? More importantly, how would that conversation go? Here are some of my reactions to Bella and Edward’s pillow talk in Eclipse. (Spoiler alert!)

Condom broke? U can get EC @ a pharmacy w/o seeing a dr if ur 17+

Did the condom break or did you have sex without using a method of birth control?

Emergency contraception which is known as “EC” or the “morning after pill” can help prevent pregnancy after you have sex.  It contains the same kinds of medication that are in regular birth control pills.  If you are 16 or younger or don’t have money to buy ECs, you can get ECs free at a clinic.

After reading multiple articles about teen sexuality and relationships in Eclipse, curiosity led me to the movie theater last weekend to see it for myself.
