STIs Explained: Trichomoniasis
Since things are heating up everywhere these days, I thought it might be the time to tell you to cool down a little bit and play smart. Yep, it is time to fill you in on a fairly common STI (sexually transmitted infection - it not a disease since it is curable), Trichomoniasis. Tricky to say maybe, but not tricky to prevent!STIs Explained: Syphilis
Since Spring has arrived and romance is in the air, let's talk more about STIs. STI stands for "sexually transmitted infection." The reason this term is used instead of STDs (sexually transmitted disease) is because the word "infection" is more accurate since many of these are actually curable (except for Genital Herpes, Genital Warts, and HIV).STIs Explained: Gonorrhea
Warm weather has arrived and since Spring Fever is in the air, I thought I'd take the time to talk about Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). Fun stuff, I know.

You Asked: My Sexual Fantasies Are Ruining My Relationships
Dear Sugar,
I have been living with a boyfriend for some time now. No matter how good my relationship is, and I've been in a few lovely ones, I cannot stop having sexual obsessions about other people. I have incredibly realistic sex dreams, and I think about them while masturbating and even while having sex with my partner.
Sexual Response Cycle: What Happens Before, During, and After Your Orgasm
When I first learned what happens physiologically when we’re turned on, my initial response was, “oh, so that’s what’s going on.” If you’ve never learned the details of your body’s sexual-response cycle than I think you might have the same reaction I did. If you have, it’s never bad to get a reminder on just how incredible our bods are! To learn the basics about all four stages, read more
Women the Target of Sexual Advances By Religious Leaders
There's a new survey out there that will make you say: "Oh my God!" According to Baylor University researchers, one in every 33 women who attend religious services regularly has been a target of sexual advances made by a religious leader. What's worse, two-thirds of the offending leaders were married when they hit on a worshiper.
Slow Sex Movement Guru: Women and the Power of Sexuality
"There’s a way that we actually have men take all the responsibility for sexuality, and then we get upset that they’re holding it."
This is the second in a four-part series of interviews I had with Nicole Daedone, who is emerging as the leader of the slow-sex movement and who founded the OneTaste urban retreat center in San Francisco. OneTaste invites men and women to learn about mindful sexuality by participating in workshops, yoga, and (for residents only) controversial "OMing" sessions in which men stroke women to orgasm during daily morning sessions.

There may be no need to feel guilty about putting off your annual trip to the gynecologist anymore! New guidelines from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists assert that healthy women should not get cervical cancer screening pap tests every year. Instead they encourage women to get the screening every two to three years.
Another Plastic Health Risk — Erectile Dysfunction
While there have been previous studies, linking bisphenol A (BPA), found in hard plastics, to health problems, including precancerous tumors, prostate cancer, and brain damage, a new study, conducted in China, substantiates its claims with results in humans. In one of the first studies of its kind to be conducted on humans, researchers are finding that much of what they've previously seen in animal studies holds true — men exposed to significant amounts of BPA are at greater risk of sexual health problems.
The study compared the levels of sexual dysfunction in two groups of male factory workers — one group, which was exposed to high levels of BPA, while the other was not.
Have You Been Sexually Harassed by a Co-Worker?
Sexual harassment in the office is usually a little more subtle these days compared to the blatant skirt-chasing on Mad Men, but there's no question it still exists. Whether it's in the form of inappropriate comments over instant messenger, email, text message, or in person, Forbes points out that a flirtatious "omg, u look gr8" can land someone in a ton of trouble and possibly cost them a job. Has a colleague ever crossed the boundaries of appropriate office behavior?
