If you have ever been in a conversation with me you will know that I’m a huge advocate of sex education (age appropriate) from a young age. Today is Utah’s first day of the corrupt politicians legislating morality for the residents of Utah. Every year, I almost go postal when this group or that group introduces some sort of bill that tries to legislate morality of a Utah resident. Years ago, Utah politicians wanted abstinence only education. After the huge amount of evidence showing that it doesn’t work compared with comprehensive sex education, I find that Utah is going to take a small step towards coming to the modern age of comprehensive sex education.

The talking heads today reported that Senator Stephen Urquhart, R-St. George, is going to introduce a bill that would allow educators in Utah to teach students about contraceptives, but it prohibits "advocacy or encouragement" of their use? These Students would be require to take this class in 11th Grade?

Comprehensive sex education is about providing information to our youth on their attitudes and beliefs about sex, sexual identity, relationships, and (gasp!) intimacy. Sex education should help our youth make informed choices about their sexual behavior.

Do all women have a G spot?

I recently came across some research suggesting that physical differences in women may explain why some have ever reached an orgasm during vaginal intercourse. Emmanuele Jannini at the University of L'Aquila in Italy studied twenty women, and found that apparently the ability to achieve an orgasm through the G spot is linked with a thicker anterior wall of the vagina.

Jannini used vaginal ultrasound to scan the entire urethrovaginal space - the area of tissue between the vagina and urethra thought to house the G spot. The team scanned nine women who said they had vaginal orgasms and 11 who said they didn't. They found that tissue in the urethrovaginal space was thicker in the first group of women,” stated an article on NewScientist.com.

I recently read an article regarding sex researcher Racheal K. Jones and her analysis of the withdrawal method of birth control, and subsequently read her research.

“If the male partner withdraws before ejaculation every time a couple has vaginal intercourse, about 4% of couples will become pregnant over the course of a year. However, more realistic estimates of typical use indicate that about 18% of couples will become pregnant in a year using withdrawal. These rates are only slightly less effective than male condoms, which have perfect- and typical-use failure rates of 2% and 17%, respectively.”

I was quite put off by the above claim at first glance. I’m imagining some idiotic high schooler reading this statistic and thinking he just found the perfect rationale to stop wearing a condom. Worse yet, all the 30 year old assholes who are certain they don’t have an STI despite the fact they’ve never been checked are suddenly without any motive to use protection. Not to pick on men, there are plenty of vacuous women on the verge of unwittingly procreating and spreading STIs too, it’s just that some men tend to think they don’t need a condom in my experience. Women seem to worry a bit more about the whole being pregnant thing.

Despite my initial reaction, I have to agree with the study. Simply put, the withdrawal method is better than nothing and could be considered a reasonable backup method to other forms of contraception. It was deemed a viable practice for couples in a long term relationship who weren’t worried about giving each other STIs.

For me, one of the most important factors of amazing sex is being comfortable with the possible consequences of my actions. Reaching the Big O is highly unlikely if my mind is preoccupied thinking about pregnancy. Imagining myself with a crying baby, well... makes me want to cry (at least for now).

You have lots of options when choosing birth control, also known as contraception, to prevent
