Jenna Bush has been in the news and blogs a good amount lately due to her wedding last weekend. A lot of the blogs I read and most of the blogs I avoid have talked about Jenna only to make fun of her, so I just want to come to her defense and point out [...]

License to pill

Feministing has a poll up about birth control methods that got a lot of interesting comments, especially about some that are more innovative or long-term like the implant, sterilization, etc.
H/t to another of my A-list blogs, Pandagon, for directing me to The Pill Kills. It’s an online campaign to make birth control illegal because it’s [...]
Menstrual suppression: empowering or dangerous?

I don’t remember how my power-browsing got me to The Well-Timed Period today, but I’d be tipping my hat accordingly if I did. I think it’s pretty much common knowledge that women can use birth control pills to skip inconvenient periods. What I didn’t realize is that there are people who advocated doing it all [...]

Planned Parenthood’s Proper Attire condoms have been around for a couple months, but I haven’t really talked about the concept of high-class birth control yet. I’m all for anything that encourages protected sex, but I do have some issues with this campaign.
Proper Attire condoms were launched just this January and are marketed specifically to fashionable [...]

I’m a big fan of this article about how important sexual protection is for lesbians. It’s true! I was especially interested in one of the authors’ points about sex on TV:
This lead my brain to the biggest complaint I’ve had about many lesbian movies and popular shows like The L Word. No matter how much [...]
Get your condom on

Because February 11 – 15 is National Condom Week!
Valentine’s Day falls conveniently during Condom Week, so you might want to consider condom-themed gifts for your significant other. I can recommend condom paperweights and, if you find yourself in Thailand, the local Cabbages & Condoms Restaurant also sends the right message. I’m not a huge cabbage [...]
