Midweek STD Postcards

June 1, 2009

ISIS Inc. is a pioneer in “mating” sexual health and technology. They have developed some smart and hip e-cards for you to send.

No, not cute puppies and curly fonts about how much you miss your summer camp bunkmates.  These e-cards take the sting out of a potentially awkward exchange:    ”I may have given you an STD.”

Week 8-Do people masturbate more or less when they are in a relationship?

October 17, 2008

To receive the weekly question per text, text FACTS to 90999.  

Studies suggest that people continue to masturbate while in relationships and enjoy the pleasure of both coupled sex and personal sexual satisfaction. Some research even shows masturbating frequently can lead to a more satisfying sex life, because of the resulting familiarity with one’s body.  

Masturbation does not have to be a solo performance! It is a great option for couples who have varying levels of sexual interest and many couples include it as part of their sexual activities together. Masturbation can be unhealthy if it replaces sex between a couple.

Planned Parenthood of Northern New England’s Education Department carefully selects all weekly questions. All questions are actual inquiries made to PPNNE by college-aged students.

COME CHECK IT OUT!

Experts say various things about oral sex and flossing, but agree flossing is not recommended before engaging in oral sex.  The advice varies anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours, regarding how long to wait.  It takes 4 hours for membranes around your gums to heal.

The risk of contracting HIV from oral sex is relatively low, but other STIs can be transmitted through mouth to genital contact.  If you have sores or cuts in your mouth or gums or an inflammation from an infection in your throat or mouth, you are at greater risk for contracting an infection or HIV.

Oral sex is a common sexual behavior.  People enjoy various combinations of positions and techniques when engaging in cunnilingus and fellatio, but it is the mouth and tongue that provide the pleasure in all cases.
