“What is sexual wellness?”

Sexual wellness can be defined as a blend of physical state, mental state, and social well-being that has a connection with sexuality.

A lot of women experience orgasms by stimulating their clitorises rather than penetrating their vaginas. Some people can’t reach orgasm through vaginal sex at all. So, ask your partner what feels good. And while you’re at it, let them know what feels good to you, too.

“Is it normal to get periods twice a month?”

If you think you're having two periods each month, talk to your doctor. They can help you balance your hormone levels and regulate your bleeding.

“Can you please tell me more about the loop?”

The loop refers to the copper-breaking IUD; which is a small, flexible plastic frame with copper sleeves or wires around it. A specifically trained health care provider inserts it into a woman’s uterus through her vagina and cervix.

“Can I get pregnant during my period?”
