Did you know that it's only recently that medical textbooks have started getting the clitoris right? For years, the clitoris was shown as smaller than it actually is, and often the nerves and rooots were omitted. The penis, on the other hand, tended to be shown in...
With thanks to Femallay for sponsoring this post. Your vagina was meant to be lubricated, supple, and elastic. It's supposed to be able to stretch (for obvious reasons, like both penetrative sex and childbirth), but then it's also supposed to go back into place...
How can we feel sexually confident if we believe that our bodies are gross, objects of embarrassment, or something that makes us "less than"? For a woman to feel sexually confident, she has to feel that being a woman is a good thing, not a source of shame. And yet,...
