When I was just 16 I met this boy and we hit it off immediately. We dated for 2 years. In January 2010 I noticed something was wrong. I kept getting these weird pains below the waist. Then one day I noticed a whitish looking lump. I knew what it was right away from self-diagnosis and looking at info on the net. I couldn’t believe it. I was only 17. I thought I would never have sex or a boyfriend again. … Read more →

Sexual Health Expert Destiny Lopez – "Why Was There An Odorless White Discharge While I Was Having Sex?"

QUESTION: Hi. I’m 23 and the other night I had sex for the first time in 2 years. It had been a while! My partner used a condom but when we were having sex, he pulled out one time and we both noticed a white type of cream that was covering most of his condom. We didn’t use lube or anything so I’m not sure where it came from. There wasn’t any odor either. I was kind of embarrassed. Any idea … Read more →

Hi. I’m sending this to SoLatina in hopes of getting a females opinion. I’m actually a fan of SoLatina on FB. Kind of embarrassing but, oh well. lol This morning my girlfriend asked me to cum inside her. She’s on the pill but I feel really uncomfortable doing so. I trust her but I already have one child that I wasn’t prepared for as a result of having unprotected sex while genuinely believing that my (ex) partner at the time was … Read more →

QUESTION: I decided to write to you because I think I have a low sex drive. I am young, only in my twenties. I don’t know if this is something normal or if it has to do with the way I was raised. My family is very traditional. They never talked to me about sex, and forget about even mentioning the word. I guess I got scared. I had a relationship a few years ago with my first boyfriend. It lasted … Read more →

My birth control pills remind me of sex. I dread taking then every night. Press ignore on my iPhone alarm every night at 9:15pm. I only began taking them because of my ex, Luke. I was smart. Went to my gynecologist. Lay on my back and focused on the moldings of walls as she inserted the thing-a ma-jiggy into my pepa.™ “Do you want to get on birth control?” She asked while removing her plastic gloves. I shut my legs and … Read more →

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like every time I turn around there’s a 9-year-old little girl getting pregnant. Where are these children’s parents and why are they having sex?! My daughter is 11 and her father and I don’t let her go ANYWHERE without us. If she goes outside to play we are constantly looking out the window to check on her. I just don’t understand how parents can allow this to happen, let alone be proud of it and let … Read more →

“Sticks & Stones” (Nancy’s Blog)

Hey, ladies. Last week another blogger wrote about her decision to have an abortion. There was a lot of backlash because she mentioned that she was in her thirties, and had not been using birth control when she got pregnant. I’m not here to argue either side. But something that stood out in several of the anti-abortion comments that really irritated me was the phrase “don’t spread your legs,” or “you shouldn’t have opened your legs.” Those are horrible words for … Read more →

Ignorance Isn’t Always Bliss (A Facebook Guest Blog From Marisol)

Ignorance Isn’t Always Bliss It saddens and frustrates me to see how the same people who complain about racism and discrimination are often the same ones who are quick to judge those whose race differs from theirs because of their way of life. Take for instance, Hispanics. I respect my elders and some I even admire for diverse reasons so I hope that nobody feels as though I’m being disrespectful. In our Hispanic culture, there are still so many taboo subjects. … Read more →
