I always go to the doctor for regular appointments, but changing doctors makes me very nervous. I’m gay, and I have had some poor quality healthcare from older men (Yes, I’m sexually active. No, I do not need hormonal or physical barrier methods of birth control. No, my partner and I are not thinking of having…

I’m 5’7” and my personal preference is to date other women approximately my height. Not too much shorter or too much taller. Like goldilocks.

I’m glad that there are lots of health benefits. As a health professional, is it all beneficial to do this if you are not suffering from a difficult period? It had been mentioned repeatedly that having a larger number of periods can put you at risk of cancer.

I have never had an IUD. I have been using a DivaCup for the past four years. It works wonderfully. If it is compatible with your birth control, I would recommend it over pads or tampons.

I’m happy to hear it hasn’t caused you any difficulties.

Fair enough.

I’m gay, and one of the benefits of being gay is I don’t need this shit. Using hormonal birth control to prevent periods doesn’t benefit me as an individual. I can see how it would benefit others, who need hormonal birth control and have difficult periods. (I don’t know if this counts as concern trolling or not…

You are absolutely correct that there are negative side effects to have more periods starting at a younger age. I am unsure that reducing your number of overall periods by taking hormonal birth control is exactly the same as reducing your number of overall periods by giving birth repeatedly during your fertile years.…

Interesting, I guess it’s like those “women who don’t get knocked up have a higher rate of cancer” studies? I remember that being touched on in sex and the city.

My menstrual cycle is a part of my general bodily health. No longer having your period can be indicative of your weight being to high or too low. My period also changes based on what I eat. If I eat better, better period. It is kind of like a barometer for everything else. Unlike getting vaccinated, getting my blood…

It isn’t always easy for everyone to get pregnant though. So you would be off the pill for multiple cycles, having your period before you got knocked up. I don’t have problem with people using the pill to avoid periods, but you’ll likely have a period at some point if you want to get knocked up and you don’t do it in…

This post describes using hormonal birth control to skip your period. If you are attempting to get pregnant, I do not understand how you could take the pill regularly and get pregnant (at the same time). You could most certainly take the pill after you give birth to avoid the pill (I should have worded that better).

Not everyone is getting pregnant, having babies, and breastfeeding. I like getting my period because it means my body would be capable of doing those things, If I ever have interest in it. I’m not “crazy” and having a period is not a “curse”. Without your period, you would not have been able to participate in all of…

They’re a beautiful thing, aren’t they?

I think this could be an excellent option for those who suffer from heavy, painful periods. (I’m gay so I don’t take hormonal birth control. I also like having my period every month, to me it seems like an indicator of good health, and I use my crunchy granola divacup.)

That Hansel Eggsnort tweet sounds like a bad pick up line.

You have to have a good sense of humour about it. There are no nerve endings in your strap-on, so you really need to talk with your partner about what does and doesn’t work for them.

I like looking at my change to see all of the different portraits they have used of her over time.

It has murderous rapist potential written all over it. Like the cutting room floor of American Psycho.

Really. Having sex with a girl wearing a strap-on (who knows how to move her hips) feels very similar to having sex with a man. Vaginas aren’t really the best at discerning between the two, especially if condoms are involved.
