Did you know that know that there are actually three types of er****on, all of which most people with a p***s will experience at some point in their lives.

Psychogenic er****on - This is a physical reaction typically stemming from what’s going on in the brain. This could be s*xy thoughts, fantasies and emotions, possibly provoked from visual or auditory stimulation

Nocturnal er****on - This usually happens involuntarily at night while asleep. Nocturnal er****ons happen in the deepest phase of sleeping - REM or Rapid Eye Movement sleep. This is also the stage of sleeping we are in when we have vivid dreams - so these er****ons can have a lot to do with wet dreams or ‘nocturnal emissions’.

Reflexogenic er****on - As the word ‘reflex’ may suggest, reflexogenic er****ons occur in response to direct touch on the p***s or erogenous zone. Reflexogenic er****ons don’t necessarily have to involve arousing thoughts - they have a lot more to do with physiology.

Maintaining good hygiene is not only crucial for overall health but also plays a significant role in promoting s*xual health. As we celebrate Global Handwashing Day, it is essential to recognize the connection between proper hygiene practices and s*xual well-being. By practicing regular handwashing with soap and water, individuals can reduce the risk of transmitting harmful bacteria and viruses that can negatively impact their s*xual health. Additionally, maintaining clean and hygienic intimate areas can help prevent infections and discomfort during s*xual activities.

Let's embrace this day as an opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of hygiene in enhancing our s*xual well-being and ultimately enjoying healthier and more fulfilling intimate experiences.

There are plenty of kinks out there. Some are a dime a dozen (foot fe**sh, we’re looking at you) and some are a bit more unique (ever heard of formicophilia, being turned on by insects crawling over the body?)
Yep, the broad spectrum of human desire is a wild, wacky, and beautiful thing. From role play to watersports to voyeurism, no one should be made to feel bad about expressing their s*xuality with enthusiasm - and importantly, consent.

Kink shaming literally means making another person feel guilty or embarrassed about their s*xual fantasies. Kink shaming statements can make the people around you feel broken, weird or misunderstood, without you even realising it. It stems from s*x-negative attitudes of centuries past, and demonstrates a failure to understand and empathise with others.

Plus, being closed-minded limits you from exploring your s*xuality, and maybe even discovering that kink you never knew you had…

Edging is a technique that can enhance s*xual pleasure and build anticipation. By bringing someone to the brink of or**sm and then pausing, it intensifies the sensations and creates a powerful release when finally allowed. This practice can help individuals explore their own bodies and understand their desires more deeply. It also fosters communication and trust between partners, as they navigate the delicate balance of pleasure and control together. Overall, edging offers a unique way to embrace s*xual health and discover new levels of pleasure and intimacy in the bedroom.

To diagnose PCOS, it is important to first rule out other conditions that may have similar symptoms. These conditions include thyroid disorders, hyperprolactinaemia, primary ovarian insufficiency, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Once these conditions are excluded, the diagnosis of PCOS is based on identifying at least two of the three following features, as per the Rotterdam criteria. The first feature is hyperandrogenism, which can be confirmed through clinical symptoms or biochemical tests. The second feature is ovulatory dysfunction, which refers to irregular or absent periods. Lastly, polycystic ovaries can be visualized through ultrasound. By considering these diagnostic criteria, healthcare providers can accurately diagnose PCOS and provide appropriate treatment options to manage the condition effectively.

20/09/2025

Today is World Gynaecology Oncology Day, a reminder of the importance of preventive measures like Pap Smears in combating cervical cancer. These screenings have proven to be the most effective method in preventing this disease. In fact, thanks to Pap Smears, 90% of cervical cancer cases have either been prevented entirely or detected early enough for successful treatment. It is crucial for individuals to prioritize their health by getting a Pap Smear done once they turn 21 or become s*xually active. Following the recommended guidelines, regular Pap Smears every 3 years are essential, although it is advisable to consult with healthcare providers for personalized recommendations. It's worth noting that you don't necessarily need to visit a Gynaecologist specifically for a Pap Smear; many healthcare professionals are trained and qualified to administer this important screening test.

Stay proactive about your well-being and schedule your Pap Smear today!
