My Body
Sex=pills and portions. If not sex=babies. Have you ever thought about how hard it is to have a great sex life as a woman? I don’t know about you, but I love to have sex. Its intimate enough to satisfy my craving for an affectionate touch but just as detaching to preserve my emotional independence. However, this freedom of sexual expression comes with a plethora of responsibilities. At my age, there is now way I’m having a child right now. So that means it’s my responsibility to be on contraception. Ugh. Take your pick… the pill, patch, injection, IUD. I have tried a couple techniques to shield myself from a pregnancy, if I was a man… anyway. With contraception there’s risks, of course. Your tit might fall off, JOKING. No seriously, cancer, blood clots, exotic pregnancy. Although these risks are clinically “rare” they still happen. I don’t mean to be a Debby-downer, but doesn’t it just make you so mad sometimes. You’d think because women go through enough during childbirth and after that we should be able to enjoy a full, vibrant sex life. But I guess not. Me, I’m against contraception. I was on it for a long time and started at a relatively young age. I didn’t even realise that I could feel so normal when I came off of it. There were so many aspects of life that were affected by the pills I was taking. My skin, for one, was trash lol. I’ve only just been able to undo the years of damage. Second, my mood swings were horrible, I would get so upset sometimes and wouldn’t even know why. Thirdly, the constant yeast infections. I thought my vag was just more sensitive or something, but once I came off the pill I went from having thrush every 1-2 months to having them every 1-2 YEARS! The only good thing I can say about that experience was that it kept me slim (but once I came off it, I exploded so I guess it’s not that great lol). I bet some will say but “it’s worth it because you could have worry-free sex”. Wrong. I had continuously heart attacks (not real ones) every month until I got my period. As you know the pill is not 100%. I didn’t get pregnant though, thankfully lol. Yes, it worked.
