I love my IUD.

I think you're both right - women's bodies are beautiful. full stop.

Yeah, I suck at remembering to take the pills and I love that the ring keeps all the hormones centralized.. but, my feet swell (docs have NO idea why) and they tested me for blood clots so I'm kind of nervous. I'll talk it out with my doc when I have my appointment. When I was 12, a lady friend with 4 kids, ages 2 -…

But to say that body acceptance from "curvy" women means people calling YOU "not real" is frankly a straw man construction.

Random question, are you considering getting of the ring bc of the new studies about the increased chance of blood clots? I was on the ring but my prescription ran out and I need to have my annual check-up to get it extended.. wondering if I should continue my 5 year relationship with the ring or try something else..

That 9 year-old comment really irks me. If one prefers full bush, fantastic. But if one prefers shaved, they're a pedophile? Fuck off.

You don't have to be "overweight" to be self-conscious having sex. Pretty sure, a lot of WOMAN have done that thing where they have sex without being fully seen naked. I'm a very small person and every single night I scream at my fiance, "Don't look at me!" as I get naked before crawling into bed. EVERY. SINGLE.…

No period =/= no ovulation. You can still ovulate and not get your period :( I learned that the hard way. Its good you're using a backup, better safe than sorry I always say!

I agree. I'm not really sure what the general buzz on the show is, but my girlfriend is a huge Mindy fan and we started watching it last year and I've really enjoyed it as much as she has. The characters really do seem like real people, and it's startling to me how many other shows fail in that basic regard.

Wait a minute...I'm really confused here. My girlfriend switched to the NuvaRing a couple years ago because she can't really use a lot of the more typical methods because of her other medications, but she still has her period every month. Is the NuvaRing supposed to stop your period? If it doesn't, does that mean it's…

Plus I hate that, because it sounds like people getting cranky about thin girls. It's good that everyone has different bodies! It'd be boring if everyone looked the same! That's why it makes me sad how in Hollywood and South Korea they feel the need to get the same surgeries. Unless you have a deformity and want to…

It's cool! Misunderstandings are what make the internet go 'round ;)

Me too! We all have insecurities and piling on against another bodytype is not going to make anyone feel better! It doesn't always have to be a competition (as I still often have to remind myself!)

It drives me up the fucking wall whenever there is a post about pubic hair (and theres one at least fortnightly here) and the meatbonnets who claim any man who prefers a clean workspace is a pedophile. Or that pubic hair is the only way to tell that the body attached the the hairless vulva is 35 and not 11.

If pubic hair is the only way you can tell the person you are about to have sex with isn't 9 you've got issues.

Oh yeah, I get it. I was just emphasizing how stupid and awful a thing it is to say. I'm with you ^_^

It even bothers me. I mean, I'm not what I'd call "thin". I'm a size 6, but I carry a bit of extra weight. But I'm not really overweight either, I don't think. Do I coun't as a 'curvy' woman? The whole term…

That's interesting because I get what you're saying about the idea floating around that thin woman aren't "real women," but I didn't hear the same thing you did in this scene. He didn't say she was a "real woman" because she has curves. He just said, "You're a woman, and that's good. Look like a woman." He didn't use…

Well, I'm glad to hear you stopped seeing him. Hopefully nobody else subjected themselves to that crap either.

Ugh. You should have kneed him in the balls. Fucker didn't deserve you.

being shaved is being like a 9 year old

Guys actually made comments like that to you? Jesus Christ, what assholes.
