Dear Madame X, Every time I have my period I get an yeast infection. Every damned time! (Talk about messy). My doctor says that tampons might be messing with my ph balance and throwing everything out of whack. That leaves me with pads which make me feel like I am wearing a diaper. Are there ...

Dear Madame X, I like to down on girls when they have their period and obviously part of the fun of it is the mess. Is it possible to get HIV this way? I am a single guy at the moment so I don’t know these girls well enough to get tested with them. Red ...

Dear Madame X, My boyfriend REFUSES to go down on me when I have my period. He just point-blank refuses. He says it’s disgusting and he doesn’t like the smell or taste. I told him he was being sexist and that there is nothing wrong with it. We can do everything else when I have ...

This time a school district banned Anne Frank’s Diary because of one parent’s concern “about the sexual nature of the vagina passage”.

Mick // Serena Williams is one tough chick, and she’s talking smack to Mother Nature in a commercial for Tampax. “She has been blessed with so many gifts,” said Mother Nature, pulling out a red present. “And today I’m going to bless her with mine.” The tongue in cheek video (after jump) is causing a ...

Dear Madame X, Love waits and I did until I was married. We’ve just back from our honeymoon where we went through packs of condoms, and we have decided that we hate them. They’re just gross. We don’t want to have kids yet, but abstinence is over (Yeah!), so what are my options? I don’t ...
