Straight Talk About Herpes and How You Get It
You can get herpes in a variety of ways. It is silent, however, which means you could have herpes and not even know you have it. Herpes type 1 is oral herpes, which means that it turns into a cold sore. Cold sores are easy to treat give or take the method you use, such as topical anti-viral medication available over the counter. What you do not want to do is have oral sex with somebody who has a cold sore, which could mean that you can contract herpes from unprotected oral sex, without using a dental dam for protection with either gender.

Safe Sex or No Sex
Safe sex involves using various forms of protection such as the condom, spermacide, or female condom. The pill is a somewhat effective form of contraception that prevents pregnancy. A diaphragm is also a form of protection although the best protection is no sex. Birth control implants or IUDs (intrauterine devices) work to protect against pregnancy. Safe sex or no sex because you want protection against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Dental dams also work after oral, anal, or vaginal sex. Any barrier of any kind helps protect against skin-to-skin contact or fluids, which can spread the STD.

A 'Nut' Out of the Blue!
Accidental orgasms. I know... those two words being used together in a sentence is probably perplexing you right now. You're probably thinking that I might be talking about wet dreams or you directly SEE something that turns you on so badly that you have an orgasm, but no, nothing of the sort. I'm talking about when you are doing something completely innocent, absolutely unrelated to anything sexual or erotic and all of a sudden... you have an orgasm.

Why I Don’t Regret Having Sex at a Young Age...
Growing up, I was pretty much stuck on the other end of my parents leash. I was always being supervised, I felt as if I had no freedom whatsoever.

Sexy Dirty Love
Let's talk about love. No, actually let's talk about sex. Such a fun topic to talk about, isn't it. I'm sure when you're hanging with your girlfriends or your buddies, this topic comes up frequently. You probably talk about that person you met at the bar, how you took them home with you, and played all night long. Or maybe you talk about your sex life with your partner. Maybe you like sending naughty pictures, or maybe you like having someone new in your bed every night. If you're a girl, you probably go into all the raw, dirty details. C'mon ladies, you know you and your girlfriends do that. Me and mine do! Boys? Well, I'm not a guy so I don't really know, but I'm sure you do, too.

Many people have mixed thoughts when it comes to having sex while pregnant. Will it hurt the baby? Can I orgasm? Will my back ache afterwards?

STDs: What They Are
Here is a general discussion on STDs, which is something that everybody needs to understand, as well as have treated. We will start with herpes. Herpes is terrifying because it doesn’t really have many symptoms with the carriers not really knowing they have herpes to begin with. Herpes is a blister around the genitals or anus. The first time it outbreaks can be the most painful, but additional outbreaks aren’t so bad. The only treatment is antiviral medications that can help repress or prevent outbreaks. Herpes can be transmitted through unprotected sex, although the best cure for not contracting a painful illness like this is monogamy with one partner. Condoms may or may not work since abstinence is more effective than actually infecting somebody with herpes because you can’t keep a lid on it.

Communication in the Bedroom
I am known for being a "Susie-talks-a lot" to my friends and family. While I might be a little shy at first glance, the second I warm up to you there is no stopping my mouth. I’ll be the first to admit that my stories can be annoying. Instead of going from A-Z I have to stop at L, P, and Q before getting to my actual story. However, until recently, my mouth didn’t do much of anything in the bedroom.

Doing Her Like a Real Man
Follow me. I've got a story to tell you. I watched this porn video the other day where this chick was totally into it... totally getting laid into, and right at this point where she's really enjoying it (you can see on her face, she's really having a good time), the dude sticks his finger in her mouth from behind (this was all happening from behind) and pulls on her face like a fish hook. Totally surprised her, but she went right with it, and the scene rolled on.

Sexual Cravings
Where do I start? I have a strong sexual craving at times. Yes, I'm in a healthy relationship. The sex with him is amazing. However, I just sometimes want something more. Something different, in a thought. I've been with women in the past and it was a nice change from the normal pounding from general sex. It was nice to be treated like a delicate flower for a few moments in silence. I sometimes have that desire to go back to that. Who am I kidding? Sometimes is an understatement. I always want to go back to it!

Healthy is Sexy
Hi there, let's have a chat about some sexy stuff. Now, it may seem weird, but looking after your sexual health should be just as important as looking after anything else. Unfortunately, not everyone treats it as such. One reason why is because it can be a bit embarrassing, but it’s just the same as any other physical problem. If something gets left untreated, or questions get left unasked, then things can get a lot worse. When things get worse, they can affect our mental health, too. If you have pain, that can make you stressed and upset. If you are worrying about a relationship, that can make you feel depressed or anxious. The first step to looking after your sexual health is to be honest with yourself.
