When I was 10, our teacher held the girls back at break time and solemnly informed us that we were due to start bleeding out of our vaginas any day now. If this happened while we were in school, we were to tell NO ONE but immediately locate the nearest female teacher, who would provide us with something to soak up THE SHAME OF OUR WOMB. She did not actually say that last bit, but even at 10 years old, I felt it was strongly implied. TEDxChange.org - How Have Contraceptives Changed Your Life. Spermicidal Condoms & N9.

Contraceptive horror stories - why do we ignore them? - The Femedic. After her second child was born, 39-year-old Mary-Ann, an accessory designer, got the copper coil fitted as she wanted a form of contraception that didn’t involve hormones. The copper coil, or IUD, is a small T-shaped device, made of plastic and copper, which is inserted into the womb and prevents pregnancy for up to ten years. But when Mary-Ann went to have to have her coil removed when it stopped working, her GP was unable to locate it. After “several attempts” with “different tools”, which left Mary-Ann in a considerable amount of discomfort, her GP had to give up and sent her for a scan. The scan showed the coil had dropped down in her womb, so Mary-Ann was referred to a gynaecologist for removal.

No one had sent the gyno the scans from the hospital however, and Mary-Ann was subjected to another painful and invasive half an hour of “another health professional sweeping blindly about my womb”.

This Might Hurt, but I'm Hungry. False Popular Notions Of Sex That Imperil The Young. THE monthly sexual secretion of woman has been rather euphemistically called her monthly purification, because in former times it was thought that her blood would be thereby freed from impurities; just as during the puerperium it is termed a purification when the entire open uterine surface cleanses itself.

False Popular Notions Of Sex That Imperil The Young

We might with just as much reason call nocturnal emissions a purification, because substances are then excreted which should actually be got rid of. But we are so little accustomed to thinking physiologically, that we take more notice of the external soiling than the internal cleansing. This soiling occurs so much more easily in young men because there is no wearing of a diaper to help as with girls. Learning To Ask. Do you ever have difficulty asking for what you want?
