Harry Potter and Sex Education
extoria:
I was just thinking - what sex education and reproductive health education do the students of Hogwarts get? In the books, no mention was made of an equivalent of PHSCE (a British programme wherein sex and relationships were explored).
Do the young witches get told about their periods before they happen, or is it explained on a one-to-one basis every time one of them goes to Madame...

Anonymous asked: I had sex on the first day of my period & he ejaculated inside me. My cycle is pretty normal (27 days, & I usually ovulate around the 15th day.) & I know chances are very slim that I could get pregnant, but I'm still paranoid. Money is tight so the morning after pill would be a stretch. Should I be concerned?

Total revenue to the city’s marriage bureau jumped from $2.07 million from August through December 2010, to $2.26 million in the same period last year, after...

nikkerbocker asked: As a bisexual, i embrace the term queer as an umbrella term like you mentioned. Ive taken a few lgbt studies classes and the teachers always referred to the "queer community" because lgbt or lgbtqa just keep expanding and queer is a simple term that can include anyone in the community.

Anonymous asked: Hi, so I love what you do for people.. I know you aren't a doctor but I feel like you give people a good idea of if they should be worried or not. That being said, I am on the pill, but I have been having my periods in the middle of my month. Not on the week where I should, so I plan on going to the doctor about that. But last night I had sex, and the condom got stuck in my vagina when he...

Sorry to add to your message load, I just wanted to thank you for making this such a useful resource. :^)

Anonymous asked: I was wondering if it's odd that i've never had an orgasm before? It's not from lack of trying, the people i've been intimate with have gone above and beyond to try and make it happen and i'll be extremely aroused as well but it's like I get right before that point and then something in my body just stops and i'm completely done, not turned on at all and I just...

When doing this, you can hold your partners hips and direct...

Anonymous asked: PRT 2 became swollen and itchier and felt weirdly hot. I stopped using it before the 3 doses it said to apply. The thrush-ish symtpoms of itchiness and the splits have gone, but last night when having sex, I felt an odd, dull pain in my abodemen. Is this possibly thrush or could it be something else?

Anonymous asked: Hi, I've been with a new partner who is much bigger than what I am used to and sex with him has been..less than pleasurable. It usually hurts and I end up having tears around the entrance to my vagina. At first I was worried these tears were herpes but it only happens after sex and then starts to get better within a day or two. We have tried lube and I went to the doctor and she said...

Anonymous asked: I know you probably get asked this A LOT, but I have hsv2, I was diagnosed about 1 month ago. My new partner is aware and okay with this. We've had sex and what not (always protected and never during outbreaks) but I was just wondering, I've never received oral sex from him and I really don't want him catching this so we are as careful as we can be, but I want oral sex from him (if...
Anonymous asked: hi!! just wanted to tell you i love your blog and i guessed it opened my eyes a bit considering i never really knew that that many people had herpes. i guess its a word that is thrown around a lot but i never really saw how real it is and i realize we should all be more careful so thank you :)!!!
Anonymous asked: Hello! What are your thoughts on the Creighton Model Fertility Care system? You can read a little about it in the website of Fertility Care Centers of America, someone kept bringing it up in a discussion about catholic churches being obligated to pay for birth control and I felt that this was a little ridiculous and not that effective from what I read.

My boyfriend has a sex drive that is so much higher than mine, and obviously this creates some issues. We never have sex unless we both want to, of our own agency, but he's still unsatisfied. He keeps suggesting ways to supposedly raise my libido, but it rubs me the wrong way. Is it wrong of me to...

Consent
lets-blog-about-sex-baby:
Consent is one of the single most important aspect of any relationship, especially one that is sexual or might become sexual. The biggest thing to remember about consent is that it is not ongoing, meaning that a partner may give consent at one point, and then remove that consent at another. Consent is not given automatically simply because one has given it in previous...
