Assuming you’re in any way similar to us, climate that raises a ruckus around town 50s is feeling dead tropical to you at this moment. The spring fever is Genuine. In any case, before you head out on spring break (or grown-up spring break), we’re here to answer your most squeezing get-away related sexual wellbeing questions.
We plunked down with our in-house master on everything sexual wellbeing and health, Robin Watkins. She’s a medical caretaker professional, a guaranteed nurture birthing specialist, and an exceptionally persistent human.
Q: Our most squeezing question first, since it’s in a real sense desperate: in the event that you have your period, would it be a good idea for you to stay away from the sea? Are there any period items that will keep you from becoming shark trap?
A: Most importantly, periods drawing in sharks simply is definitely not a genuine article. You’re simply not delivering sufficient blood. It’s in a real sense a pittance. Yet, there are certainly period items you can swim with. Tampons and feminine cups are most likely going to be your smartest choice since they go inside the vagina and gather the blood before it emerges, so you don’t need to stress as a lot over releases or having a period item that others can see. It’s feasible to utilize a cushion while swimming yet it could retain a ton of water and be more self-evident.
Q: How awful is it to get sand in your vagina while engaging in sexual relations on the ocean front?
A: Other than being awkward, sand in the vagina could cause scraped spots which could put you at higher gamble for a physically sent contamination. On the off chance that you’re involving a condom for penis-in-vagina sex and sand gets in your vagina, it could make the condom break, which could prompt pregnancy or potentially STIs. I’d say for the most part attempt to keep sand out of your vagina and away from your condoms. If you truly have any desire to engage in sexual relations near the ocean, simply don’t set down straightforwardly in the sand, utilize a huge (and thick) cover or towel.
Q: Imagine a scenario in which you hurl in the wake of taking your contraception pill, as from terrible shellfish or a lot of tequila for instance. Requesting a companion.
A: In the event that you hurl over 2 hours after you took your pill, you’re all set. Nothing to stress over. In the event that you hurl in no less than 2 hours of taking a functioning pill (those are the ones that contain chemicals), your body will not had opportunity and energy to process and retain the medication appropriately, so treat maybe you missed that pill and take another dynamic pill immediately. In the event that you hurl subsequent to taking a latent pill, don’t stress over it. Those are simply placeholders and don’t have chemicals in them, so missing one won’t make you bound to get pregnant. Simply a note that not all pills have dynamic and idle pills so ensure you know which kind you’re taking.
Suppose you’re washed up with some coconut oil following a monotonous day in the sun — can you slap on some extra and use it as lube?
A: Coconut oil is presumably fine for your vagina for however long it’s spotless (however everybody is unique so you might find it doesn’t work for you). Clearly, don’t utilize it after you’ve cooked with it, and assuming you or others have been staying hands that may not be spotless straightforwardly in the container, I don’t suggest then scooping coconut oil out of that equivalent container and putting it on your vulva or in your vagina. In any case, assuming it’s spotless, it ought to be fine. Simply ensure there could be no different fixings in it — it ought to be one fixing: coconut oil. You would rather not put any sort of sugar in your vagina, so watch out for added substances.
The other thought is the point at which you’re utilizing condoms while utilizing coconut oil. Similarly as with different oils, it’s undependable to utilize coconut oil with plastic or polyisoprene condoms. By and large, oils aren’t remembered to separate polyurethane, nitrile, or lambskin condoms, yet tragically, there’s no exploration about coconut oil explicitly as an oil, so we don’t have any idea how without a doubt the way that it does with different kinds of condoms. Tread carefully.
Q: OK, what might be said about sex in a pool, hot tub, or other waterway? Could you at any point get pregnant? What occurs assuming you get salt water in your vagina? Furthermore, above all, how could it be conceivable that sex in water feels so dry?
A: Indeed, you can get pregnant in the event that you engage in sexual relations in any waterway, including a pool, hot tub, lake, or the sea. The synthetics/heat/salt/whatever else is drifting around in there won’t influence the sperm’s capacity to take care of their business. Quite possibly’s pregnancy can happen any time a penis discharges inside the vagina of an individual who’s ready to get pregnant. Yet, those synthetic compounds and salt can aggravate your vagina, and normal waterways are overflowing with creatures that can cause disease.
Sex submerged can feel shockingly dry on the grounds that the water washes away the regular grease your vagina produces. Your smartest option for completely lowered sex will be a silicone-based ointment. Or on the other hand avoid the pool or hot tub and have intercourse in the shower all things considered. Think about it like hydrotherapy rather than drenching treatment.
Q: Does liquor disrupt any sorts of anti-conception medication? And sporting medications?
A: It’s not such a lot of an issue of “meddling.” It’s more that assuming that you’re utilizing a sort of contraception where you need to make sure to make some move (like put on a condom) at the time you’re having intercourse, and you’re impeded in any capacity, you may not utilize that strategy accurately and it may not be basically as viable subsequently. Be that as it may, no, neither liquor nor sporting medications will straightforwardly make your conception prevention less viable (however a few professionally prescribed prescriptions can).
