Frequently Asked Questions
Not everyone has the “talk”, below are some questions everyone has (don’t worry you aren’t alone). If you have any unanswered question(s), feel free to contact us! We will get back with you as soon as we can < 3
Sex
Should you still use protection with oral sex?
Yes, to reduce the likelihood of STD transmission with oral sex, a dental dam is recommended when having sex with a new or non-monogamous partner. The dental dam is a sheet of soft pliable film that serves as a barrier to prevent STD transmission.
Can you get pregnant from pre-cum?
Current thinking is that a woman is unlikely to get pregnant from pre-cum since some recent research suggests that there are no sperm in pre-ejaculate It was thought in the past that there were sperm in pre-ejaculate, accounting for the relatively high failure rate of withdrawal or “pull out.” It turns out there are likely not sperm in pre-ejaculate and what actually accounts for the relatively high failure rate is that the man doesn’t actually pull out.
Is too much sex bad?
As with all things in life, too much sex can be a bad thing. If your partner feels forced to have sex because you’re never satisfied, that can cause issues in a relationship. If you’re always looking for sexual gratification, it can impact your personal and professional life. On a physical level, too much sex can cause unwanted scaring and pain due to friction. The vagina and anus need time to breath.
Post sex pee?
It is completely normal, even recommended to pee after sex. For women, it actually cleanses your vagina of bacteria and unwanted sperm. You should take a couple of minutes to try to pee after sex, every time
Does penis size matter?
Like anything, it may matter to some people, like being thin or having a nice car might matter to some people when they choose a partner. Depending on how much certain looks matter to an individual, penis size might be considered too big or too small. It certainly seems to matter to some men for bragging rights and for the amount they trash talk about it. It may also matter for some men and women in terms of how a certain size penis feels during intercourse. Penis size does not matter in terms of ability to have an orgasm or being able to get a woman pregnant.
STI’s/STD’s
What's the difference between an STD and an STI?
“STD” stands for Sexual Transmitted Disease. “STI” stands for Sexually Transmitted Infection. A disease typically signifies a more advanced condition or infection and may carry an associated stigma, which is why there has been an effort to shift the term to infection. Many infections can be asymptomatic and are not considered a disease until they present with symptoms. Regardless of what you call them, it’s important to know that both STDs and STIs need to be screened for and treated.
Can I get an STD even when using protection?
It depends on the kind of protection you use. If you use condoms for contraception, it is going to protect you from STDs but pills cannot protect you from them.
If I receive treatment for an STD does that mean I can't catch it again in the future?
Unfortunately, not. If you are exposed and treated for an STD, you are susceptible again after treatment. For the bacterial infections (i.e. gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis), treatment will include a short-course of antibiotics and follow-up testing to confirm the treatment worked. Certain STDs like herpes and HIV are lifelong infections and require ongoing treatment
Does being on the pill protect me from STDs?
No! Let me repeat: No. Birth control in any form (i.e. the pill, patches, IUDs) only works to prevent pregnancy. Birth control does not provide any protection against STDs. Barrier contraceptives (i.e. condoms/dental dams) can protect against some STDs, but are not 100% effective
