Me and my little sister are sponge babies, lol.

I actually kind of like condoms because it contains the mess, but according to the menfolk they really do decrease sensation a lot for them.

That seriously sounds like something I would do, honestly.

Now I kind of want to A) poll the women I know and B) track the position of mine through the month and stuff. But A might be kind of weird and I can probably find the B info if I do research.

Oh okay, leaving it in for a while makes sense. I was confused because taking it out right away would probably be messier and also there would still be semen inside of you. Waiting for the sperm to die clears that up. Thanks!

Hmmm. You know, I don’t really know? I *think* I can still reach my cervix when I’m aroused but I can’t actually remember. I’m fairly certain I can.

This article makes it sound like you don’t need to be fitted for this one though. So maybe they’re just making it by prescription because older styles of diaphragm were by prescription? :\

But it sounds like from this article you don’t need to be fitted for this one? So if that’s the case are they just doing it by prescription because they’re traditionally by prescription?

Okay serious serious TMI ahead about my anatomy just in case anyone doesn’t want to read about that

Do I just have a shallow vaginal canal or something? I can reach in and touch my cervix with my index finger. (Maybe I have abnormally long fingers.)
But I was reading about fits for menstrual cups the other day and I…

I thought you could buy spermicide gel without a prescription? Although they do say you have to use their specific brand so I guess that could be it...
Free for women with insurance is nice, but an OTC version would be really nice too.

Douche maybe? I am curious to hear the answer to this too, I’ve never used a diaphragm.

Okay I was excited about this until I got the the “for prescription” part. What is this shit? Why would this need a prescription? I’m in the pill but it would be novel and nice to be able to just buy my BC at the store and not at the pharmacy. :\

ETA: I was thinking this would be nice to use as a secondary form instead…

Sadness :(

Are you JuneBeets on another account? Or do we just have tons of Beets running around?

Anyway, I don’t actually think we need to LEGALIZE drugs, but I think we need to decriminalize them. There are countries who have done this (at least one, I studied it like five years ago so there might be more now) and they’ve had…

Yeah, that seems like a very likely outcome. They can afford private rehab facilities, probably, after all.

Yeah, that’s true. The “white” and “upper class” bit might help. Perhaps because of that we’ll see some real, actually helpful, changes in policy.
I just kind of doubt it given America’s track record with these things as a whole. (Some individual areas and states have better programs and handle it better, but the US…

Part of the problem that other people haven’t mentioned yet (this is a very multi-faceted problem) is that up until recently it was absurdly easy to get prescribed opioids and some doctors were seriously over-prescribing them. That’s still a problem, although I would imagine it’s gone down a little because they’ve…

FUCK YEAH! FEMINISM!

Also is in a slightly more serious tone:

I don’t recall that song saying to throw semen on people. Does it say that? I like only remember the first verse and something about pancakes.
