Betty Dodson with Carlin Ross
Better Orgasms. Better World.
I have been interested in hot safe sex since the beginning of my sex life. I've always cared deeply for the women I'm with's peace of mind during and after having sex with me as much as my own.
Twice I've sealed the erotic deal because I was ready with condoms, lube, and an honest attitude. They could feel that I was the real thing, telling the truth, and not one of those jackasses who pull off the condom in the middle of it or right before they come in her.
Here are my methods for safe, safer, and super-safe sex:
not sure where to start. i have genital warts. im not sure how to get rid of them naturally. i read a small pamphlet on how to get rid of genital warts naturally but it didnt work at all unfortunately. im not really into getting then frozen off because i have headr they just grow back and there is scarring that happens.
i know getting rid of the hpv virus that causes warts if its possible happens because of a really good immune system. but im still curious how to get rid of the warts. i know there is no overnight miracle cure or anything. but i was curious if you knew of anything that got rid of them in a month or 2. id love to hear back. i love your website and have tried the hitachi magic wand with a lady friend because of your recommendation and it was awesome:):)
Dear J,
HPV is a sexually transmitted disease, or STD, that has concerned me for a number of years more than any other out there. We know that this is the form that can create cervical cancer which I have blogged about vis a vi my reservations on the vaccine Gardasil. What isn't common knowledge is the fact that the cancer-causing forms of this virus can and are producing cancerous lesions on other skin and mucous membrane surfaces it sets up shop on. Namely your throat, vagina, rectum and anus, and the surface of your genitals. This is not a women-only disease.
Hi Betty,
My question is about the vaccine for cervical cancer. I am quite sceptical of modern medicine and blindly following the doctor's orders, which I believe you are too, and I seem to have a real personal problem with accepting injections (stemming from a childhood drama). Besides my complete fear of needles, I generally do not believe the attitude we take towards vaccines such as the cervical cancer one is right.
A friend just died of cervical cancer at age 37 because she never went for an annual pelvic exam.
Granted, pelvic exams are no fun, but then there is the additional shame factor, that icky feeling in the pit of the stomach when something dirty or "bad" is happening to us.
When we're told by the doctor to open our mouths, and stick out our tongues, it's no problem. There is little morality and shame associated with the mouth. However, If we are told open our legs and stick out our clits, well for many of us, that's a completely different story.
From a purely biological view, there should be no difference, but there is. Why?
Here is some info from www.mercola.com, a favorite health site of mine run by a doctor, on gardasil and the dangerous and deadly reactions stemming from it, in some cases, which are increasing every day. It also addresses an sexually transmitted disease that I have had profound concerns about.
Eric Amaranth's Bio and Feature Article in Marie Claire Magazine.
I have just started another round of follow-up tests, so it's been an anxiety-provoking week. I got a positive (i.e. negative) report on Thursday that the "area of concern" for 6 months is "reactive inflammation, with no sign of dysplasia," which means the scab up my ass is not a precancerous or cancerous lesion (recurrence) like the one that killed Farrah Fawcett.
To say this wreaks havoc with one's sex life is an understatement. I hate my dilators and all the sex toys in the box. I hate using the wonderful vitamin E (for oral use only) and saliva for lubrication (which work like a charm, I'm very lucky). I have always wanted sex, lots of it, and good sex, and had plenty.
I got HPV from it, which was treated successfully in 1987. The medical profession did not yet know how to test for anal HPV ...which I must have had, DESPITE the fact that I was not into anal sex.
Hi. Earlier this year I discovered bumps on my outer lips. I was told by the nurse practitioner that they were genital warts. She treated them, they went away, and since then I have not had another recurrence even though I have been under immense stress since then due to work/family issues. I have not really wanted to date/have sex with anyone since because I don't want to deal with the conversation of letting someone know if they have sex with me they will be exposed to genital warts. I feel like I am starting to get ready to get out there again, any advice on how to tell someone (male or female) about them?
