I'm STD-Free & Proud Of It; Are You?

Why it's especially important to be tested for sexually transmitted diseases in this day and age.

It has been said that the best things in life are free, and while I usually agree with this age-old adage, I've come to realize it doesn't apply to one of the very best things in life: sex.

Weird Sex News: Among Swedish Men, Chlamydia Is A Badge Of Honor

Dear Swedes: Please learn about safe sex. Sincerely, the rest of the world.

I recently read an article by an American living in Sweden. The single woman, who'd had more than a few romps with Swedish men, noted that Swedes are not only very much against condom use, but that some of them — even adult male Swedes in their 20s and 30s — don't even know how to put one on because condom use is so rare.

Condomizing Your Sex

Dr. V argues for the importance of safe sex.

Hi, I’m Dr. V. I’m not a real doctor, I just play one on the Internet. What I am is a lady, a lady who is a fool for love! And I love nothing more than sex. My deepest desires have happily led me on many adventures in the sack, but they have also, sadly, made me one of my gyno’s most valuable players. But I’ve lived to tell the tale(s)! So, from time to time, I will dish the dirt on everything from getting freaky to getting freaked out. Now, let’s get this party started… After blathering on and on about anal sex, herpes sores, and stanky vajayjay’s, I, Dr. V, am going to say something that will really shock you! I have never, ever had sex without a condom. Ever. Not even once.
