PSA that hands can carry germs that can cause infection, like a yeast infection, bacterial vaginal infection, or urinary tract infection (UTI). That’s why it’s recommended to wash with soap and water before touching a vulva 🧼🙌

An erection is not consent. Being wet is not consent. Arousal is not consent.

What we mean when we say sex ed should include pleasure

Research shows that discussing pleasure in sex education increases condom use. Sex ed is more effective when it affirms that sexual expression can be a positive thing and that pleasure is a perfectly good reason to have sex.

Teaching consent doesn't make sense if you don't talk about pleasure. How do you know what you do & don’t want if you don't understand your feelings of desire and pleasure? In order to give meaningful consent, you need to know what you want—and that what you want matters.

Unless you feel discomfort or have discharge that isn’t normal for you (though discharge itself is normal!), there’s no need to interfere.

Vulvas are supposed to smell like genitals, not roses! Scented vulva hygiene products and douches can cause irritation and even mess with the vagina’s natural pH balance, which can cause infection. Vulvas are self-cleaning—let them do their thing.
