The Doctor Is In: I Think I’m Leaking

sex hurtsTalking sex with your doctor isn’t always easy. Whether you are afraid she will judge you,  you just don’t feel comfortable sharing the intimate details of your life between the sheets, or you can’t think straight with a speculum between your legs, many people get tight lipped in the doctor’s office. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have questions.

We thought we’d help and every Thursday our friend Dr. Lissa Rankin will be answering your questions. The ones you couldn’t ask your doctor in person. Just leave your questions in the comments, or send em over to us. (We’ll keep it all anonymous for you.) Dr. Lissa will answer anything – really, anything – about sex and other lady things. Don’t be shy; she’s waiting for ya!

Q: This is a really gross question, but I have to ask someone.

I discharge…a lot. And it’s not just around the time of my period. It’s random and plentiful. Ew. Anyways, I don’t know what to do about it or if it’s caused by something serious? Help. I’m afraid to be with a boy because he’ll be super grossed out.

A: This isn’t gross, sweetie. It’s your body, and discharge is a normal part of being a woman. But I wish I had more information. Is your discharge white, clear, or greenish? Does it have an odor- like fish or fresh bread- or is it odorless? Do you have any vaginal itching or burning? Is it there all the time, or just in the second half of your cycle? Have you been checked for sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s) like gonorrhea and chlamydia?

Without knowing those answers, it’s hard for me to comment on your specific situation. If you haven’t seen a doctor about this issue, it’s time. Go in, let your gyno take a gander, and make sure you’re not missing something. Sometimes, an increase in vaginal discharge is the only sign we have that something’s going on down there.

He Said/She Said: If I Were A Boy

girl1.jpgNot only does Beyonce have some sick moves, but the lady knows what she’s talking about. Her other song (you know, the one that doesn’t talk about putting a ring on it), If I Were A Boy, got me thinking: what would it be like to be a guy for a day?

Even more, what would it be like if a guy spent a day in my boobs shoes?

Life is quite different when you have a va-jay, so it would be an interesting experience. I know it is far from possible – unless you are willing to make a long-term change – but I asked a guy anyway. Has he ever thought about it? What would he learn? How different are men and women, really?

See what he had to say (before we started fighting): Read More »


CC Staff Rant: Aunt Flow Always Scares the Boys Away

So, your Editors are still separated (but to be honest, they would probably do the IM thing if they were sitting next to each other). And one of them is experiencing “womanly problems”. It’s always good to have a girl in your corner when you want to complain about The Curse, because, let’s face it — it. sucks.
