This is so wicked - and happening in Atlantic Canada Vagina's are finally in - research is gaining steam - we are looking for solutions towards women's health. Impressed by this company!

VAGINAL? CLITORAL? DID SOMEONE SAY ORGASM? Fact List The vaginal orgasm can only be achieved by about 1/3 of women, not all women can obtain this type of orgasm - so forget what you’ve heard and if you can’t reach orgasm through penetration - don’t sweat it, most of us can’t!... Women faking? Real! Why? They’ve been told that something is wrong with them if they can’t orgasm through penile penetration. Instead of learning how to achieve orgasms, they’ve learned to fake them not to upset their partner. Vaginal orgasms can in fact be argued to be clitoral as well. That’s why i’ve posted a picture of your clitoris - look at how large it is - with penetration or vulvar stimulation - the clitoris becomes engorged as would a penis and stimulation can occur through pressure, which results in an orgasm. Nipple stimulation is also linked to clitoral engorgement by talking to the same areas in the brain that cause sexual stimulation I would love it if we would just call them orgasms or female orgasms - only Freud and porn has educated young women and men that there are different types of orgasms - it’s time we grow up and face the fact that all orgasms are clitoral orgasms Female squirting - well ok, let’s review that, some liquid can be let out by specialized glands that account for about 1-2 ml. Any more fluid than that and it’s actually just vaginal fluid that has accumulated or remaining urine in the bladder that is pushed out during pelvic floor contractions. Be aware - Don’t believe the videos you see on porn sites - they insert water inside their vagina to make it look as if they are releasing lots of fluid - it’s fake. It’s called acting. Bottom line it doesn’t matter if you categorize yourself as one or not, the only point is if something is bothering you such as being too wet - consult someone who can help. If you don’t squirt - don’t worry most of us don’t - 98% don’t. Sex should give you pleasure and allow you to reach an orgasm or two - i’m more worried about the ones who can’t achieve orgasm for whatever reason. There is help and proper help and discussions can help you get there. Sex should be pleasurable, not something you measure yourself against. So I recommend a few solo sessions get to know what get’s you off. Then you can teach someone else how you work...if you feel like having a partner ;)

The Self-Cleaning Oven Yup, you read that right! I'm talking about your vulva and vagina. They DO NOTE require any soaps, cleaners, wipes, and any other type of cleaning technique you may have heard of from your grandma or friends. Your lady parts evolved to cope with all sorts of bacteria wayyyyyy before soap was even invented. The idea that the female genitalia is dirty has been driven by corporations and a male-dominated societal idea of what clean is or should be for fema...les. They sell you an idea of confidence by feeling clean.well guess what darling - your body does that on its own - no need to spend your money. I work with many women. Some of my days are full of seeing vaginas and vulvas - they don’t have foul odors. Unless an infection is present. There are sweat glands in the perineum, which can give off a small odour but it isn’t significant - and the perineum (between your anus and vagina) can be washed with soap - gently please. You may smell a vague metallic odour during your periods, but no one else will ever recognize such a faint odour. You could also recognize a smell if left over ejaculate is presentjust rinse after sex. Voila. My point? Your vulva should only be cleaned with water - so rinsing while in the shower does the trick! Do not put any cleansers inside your inner lips or your vagina. These areas take care of themselves - you wouldn’t stick a bar of soap up your nose or in your mouth - these are made of the same types of tissues. Cleaning the inside of your vagina can actually increase your risk of infection, bacterial vaginosis, odor, and/or STIs. Safe places to clean are your skin - your larger outside lips (i.e. labia majora), and around your anus. I see so many women with vulvar irritation, which is just caused by the frequency of times they wash per day and the products they utilize to wash their vulva. Stay away from fragrant products and soaps. If you must use a gentle cleanser. Also, please don’t listen to all the endorsement from celebrities - some have some interesting products/tools they use to tighten or clean their vaginas. Guess what? They will cause you more problems then good and often they don’t even work. Consult your doctor or come talk to someone like me - a pelvic health therapist - we can steer you in the right direction.

I've been absent on my One Upenyu page due to some other engagements, but I've picked up some fun new material. So a little warning to all my readers, we will ...be a bit more woman focused for the next few posts. But seriously, isn't that the most interesting! Ok, I'm a woman, biased I know... Though I must admit the information will be interesting for BOTH men and women. Like the page & be ready to learn some new facts https://m.facebook.com/oneupenyu/ Sascha Xo

I had a fun question come up over the past weeks. It's a common question so I decided why not throw it up here so we can open up the discussion. Always PM me if you want. I love answering your questions and making all these topics as normal as low back pain :D. Ok...What are horny cramps? Are they ovulating cramps? Are they even real? "Horny cramps" are typically described as a sharp pain or discomfort deep in your lower abdomen or inside your vagina - in this context - it us...ually occurs after being turned on. It's comparable to the male version of "blue balls". Yes women have terms for these as well - they just aren't discussed so openly. It's actually caused by increase blood flow to your pelvic region. This causes some congestion. Some of the pain can be due to the expansion of the vagina as well. The congestion is usually released after orgasm. So there's one solution ;). It's your vagina talking to your brain in a language it understands - Pain signals. Some also experience pain before and after orgasms, mostly due to the vaginal contractions that occur. Many describe them very similar to pain they experience during their ovulation period. So very similar in feeling, but not exactly the same thing. Though you may be more "horny" during this time period which could account for a double take on the symptoms. If you are experiencing pressure, or heaviness type pain, then you are most likely dealing with a prolapse, which I have on my hit list as a topic for this site. Stay tuned. There are lots of options out there for prolapses and improving those symptoms as well. All of which will be discussed in the next post. Hope that clears up a few things. If it doesn't or it has only left you with more questions PM me anytime - I'll answer in the comments below.

I discuss sexual health with women and men, both young and old, as part of my career choice. It has made me realize how little we talk about such a significant part of our lives. Picture this...Sunday night getting ready for the week sitting on my couch. Tv playing in the background. Life with Lisa Ling came on and it was discussing an industry I've not paid much attention to as of recently. The scary fact presented was - your child will most likely see porn before you ev...Continue reading

The pressure we self impose. Love this post. Y a friend of mine who has found true joy in letting go and enjoying life to the fullest.

Today I got a message about what's normal in regards to vaginal wetness or dryness? Your short answer - there is a lot of variation. Most of which are completely okay. Your more in depth answer - the following bullet points are variables that can make you produce more or less of that natural lubrificant:... (1) Hormone levels - estrogen, which varies with life stages, has a significant impact on your wetness down there. So anything that makes those hormones fluctuate such as your menstrual cycle, pregnancy, or menopause can cause these effects. Women are usually most wet during reproductive years, as well as, during pregnancy. They experience bouts of dryness post delivery of a child and it also decreases around the menopausal age (which also varies from woman to woman). (2) Medication, such as the birth control pill, can decrease your wetness and leave you needing some extra help in terms of lubrification (3) Psychological reasons - to increase wetness - feeling turned on by your partner or yourself helps; having positive attitudes towards sex also helps. (4) Smoking and certain syndromes can also lead to decreased lubrication. Remember if sex hurts and you think the cause is dryness - consider using a water-based lube (we will have an upcoming post on our recommended lubes soon). But most importantly, many woman have a healthy sex life with little natural lubrication. Many women will also argue that too much lubrication decreases friction and can pose a challenge for pleasurable sex. Some tricks for those on the other end of the spectrum experiencing extra wetness: (1) The towel trick - keep it nearby and towel dry when you are changing positions (I know, not obvious, but helpful) (2) Some positions may be best to allow for extra friction (example - your legs between your partners legs from behind or on your side with legs together) (3) Condoms can be helpful to increase stimulation as many have ribbed edges (make sure they are NOT lubricated as this will be counterproductive) (4) Rule out any medical causes for this with your ob-gyn So as you can see, most of the time - your wetness is just another part of you that is different than others; like hair color or skin color. As long as it remains pretty consistent from cycle to cycle - there is no need to worry. Changes in your normal is more telling, than your actual day to day wetness. So if you notice a change in your fluid’s consistency, color, volume, and/or smell, then, a medical consult is advised.
