The Single Girl’s Guide to Surviving the Holidays
Originally published on SexReally.com on December 22, 2010.
Ahh…the joys of the holidays. While visions of sugarplums dance in your head and Jack Frost nips at your nose, you may have a few other things on your mind. Like being single during the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. Which can include a variety of scenarios such as: big family dinners while you’re still carrying tissues around...

You do, don’t you?

awkward times
don’t give up (aka funny fails)
undress success? um, no.
Vote early, vote often. Thanks and XO!

– —Ian Jeffreys, EP of Butter as quoted on Trust Collective.
Love this description of the awesome original music created by Butter (featuring French chanteuse and lyricist Nicole Renaud) for our “Don’t give up” PSAs. Sounds about right to us—what do you think?

– Jaclyn Friedman (ConsentFest talks about sex, and wants to add more voices | OpenFile)
Word. When it comes to sex, what could be better than two people bringing their own creativity and experience to the table? (Maybe three people bringing their creativity and experience to the table? Two, three,...

Covered in our “Get on Top” digest this week: Plan B One-Step will stay firmly behind the pharmacy counter, the FDA ruled to include more information about blood clot risk on the labels of certain birth control brands, and over three-quarters of women wrongly believe that taking the pill is more dangerous than being pregnant. In other news, a recent study showed that progestin-only...

Love and a Career in 2012: Possible or Not?
With New Year’s Eve only 17 days away, I thought it would be good to start a conversation about dating, relationship, and sex resolutions for 2012:
Besides the resolutions shared in the vlog, one common theme in my interviews was the desire to stay away from dating and relationships altogether and focus on school and/or work. Which makes me wonder, do we have to choose?
Personally I think I...

In Review: Splooge Invaders (Yep. That's really...
Was Birth Control Brigade too highbrow for your gaming taste? Enter the Splooge Invaders…literally. Like Birth Control Brigade, the object of the game is to destroy incoming hordes of sperm before they reach the egg of a lucky (or unlucky?) lady. However, there’s only one contraceptive of choice—the tried and true birth control pill. This game requires quicker clicks as the invaders come...

It’s a good day…
And yes, withdrawal is 78% effective with typical use—that means of 100 non-Kung-Fu-master couples using it as their primary method of birth control, within a year 22 of them will experience a pregnancy (for the Kung Fu masters, on the other hand, only 4 will). Are those encouraging odds? We’ll let you be the judge.

In Review: A Ray of Hope for the Little Monsters
It’s funny the beacons of hope that can emerge in popular culture. Those of us who produce independent music tend to hold fast to do-it-yourself altruism and ideals, often at the expense of reach, but I for one have always had an unabashed love for pop. It is no easy thing to craft a hook. Mainstream popularity can also offer clues to the needs of a generation and new paths to reach them. My...

Method Monday: The Implant
This Method Monday we’re featuring the implant—and not just because it’s tiny and cute. Nope, that matchstick-sized rod means business, in spite of somehow managing to be oh-so-low-maintenance. It’s one of the most effective reversible methods of birth control and, thanks to a recent make-over, is going to be easier to use than ever. Intrigued?
Read about Nexplanon, the...

Interesting listen from NPR on the efforts of some Catholic groups to get public-serving religious institutions exempt from providing no-cost prescription birth control as part of employee health insurance plans.

Some Condom Love for World AIDS Day
In honor of World AIDS Day (today!), we’d like to take a moment to appreciate the condom. Sometimes we get caught up in our excitement over super-effective, low-maintenance methods like the IUD and the implant, but the condom will always hold a special place in our hearts for being the only available method capable of protecting us from unplanned pregnancy and STIs.
There are so many...
