Here's the story: I dyed my hair black in September and have recently realized just what an awful idea that was in the long run. In an effort to fix it I went to my salon to see what they could do. The fix? Red highlights to break up the pile of ick that was my hair.

| color suggestions? |
[Dec. 23rd, 2009|06:16 pm] |
Lately, I've been thinking about dying my hair. I just have no idea what color I'd dye it. I've been thinking about a dark red or something, but I'm not sure. I'm down for any color. What do you guys think?

Question for you madrad'rs.
If you have a cowlick in the front of your head, is it possible to train your hair to change. I used to part my hair in the very middle because of my cowlick, however I have trained my hair to part[y] to the side.
I would really like a hair cut with short, short straight across bangs. Is this possible?
Here are some references under the ( cut )

| Even with no crime, there is punishment: The sexual double standard between men and women |

I know this isn't a health issue, but I do think it is vagina related and I would very much like to have a rant.
It is SO unfair that guys can sleep around and as long as they aren't in a committed relationship, no-one bats an eyelid. "Boys will be boys", after all. HOWEVER, when a women decides that she wants to have herself some fulfilling casual sex, it all goes tits up.
I mean, I was always aware of a mythical double standard, but I was in a long term relationship with a guy to whom I lost my virginity. Now, it's the end of my first term of university and I am totally feeling it. I've been reading various articles about it and I can't help feeling trapped between my wants/desires and the expectations of my gender and totally helpless to do anything about it! ARGH! I guess I was naive to think that I could expect someone to respect me, just because they were willing to have sex with me, huh?
So, I'd kinda like to just talk about it, opinions, experiences, advice?
*Sniffle*
Thanks
*EDIT*
Thanks everyone, what's come up so far is really interesting. I think my main problem is I'm trying to have this groovy positive attitude a la vaginapagina, but my own emotions/perceptions/self esteem issues are getting in the way. I'm starting to think that maybe one guy acting like a douche was just one guy acting like a douche, rather than the result of something that was wrong with my behaviour... |

| Taking BC early |
[Dec. 23rd, 2009|01:45 pm] |
i see posts like this pretty often, and i know that taking the pill about an hour or so early doesn't mess up your protection level, but how can it affect spotting? i ask because i'm on Loestrin 24 Fe and this is the first month (knock on wood) that i haven't spotted during my active pills. i usually take my pill at 5:30 on the dot - even ten minutes later seems to cause me to spot. i can't take my pill at 5:30 today because i'm picking my boyfriend up from the airport - his plane comes in at 5:27 and you can bet we'll have hugs and luggage to pick up and all that jazz.
if i take my pill at say, 5pm, will it make me effectively "off" for my pill tomorrow and make spotting more likely? i realize that everyone is a bit different but i'd like to see what everyone else has experienced.
thanks! |

| New to group |
[Dec. 23rd, 2009|01:08 pm] |
I'm so glad I found this group! I'm a 49 year old female with a history of hormonal problems, and yeast infections. Nothing too serious until a year ago. Last march, I developed a yeast infection that turned into a nightmare! I was literally disabled because of the severe itch that lasted 3 weeks. I hardly slept, lived in the bathtub, and on perscription creams and was on diflucan for two weeks straight. After the 2nd week, they told me that my yeast infection was cleared up and tests showed I had no infections at all. But the itch was worse. Finally went to a dermatologist who diagnosed me with vulvodynia. Gave me 300 mg of nerountin and it worked immediatel! Here is the problem.
I have anothr yeast infection. Went to doc, they put me on diflucan. I took one sat. another on Monday. It's thursday and the itch is worse. I stared the nerountin two nights ago and not help. I even doubled the dose. I"m back to that insane itch, again bedridden, and not sure what to do! I went to the doc on Mon and he said I still had some yeast. (Maybe this is why the neurontin is not working?) Not I have a doc's appointment in Fishkill (an hour from my house) at 8 am tomorrow morning to see a specialist. I don't think I'll be able to make the drive!
I need help PLEASE...Any advise? My doc here doesn't know much about my condition but works with me. any advise you can give me would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm dry raw and itchy now. Was wondering if I should put vaseline on, but was told that's bad. The one thing that did help a little bit was benadry. I took two tablets and slept for about 1 1/2 hours. Sorry for rambling, I'm just in a lot of pain, and scared..

| Period issue |
[Dec. 23rd, 2009|09:51 am] |
So you all seem like a wise bunch, and I've been watching this community for months now. I never thought I'd have something to post myself but lo and behold here I am. I apologize if this was answered somewhere, but I can't seem to find anything about it in particular.
I've been on Tri Cylcen Lo on and off for about 2 years. The first year I wasn't sexually active and so it was mainly for irregular periods. I've been on and off it for about 7 months. I took it for 6 months regularly but this time I was sexually active and for the most part it has been really good and I never had an weird side effects. I took it religiously and had no problems with it. I stopped taking it for another 6 months. I am back again and I started my first pack Nov 29. I am on my placebos now and my period should be here on the 26th. I am pretty steady with a 32 day cycle. I've ha mild cramping this week which is normal for me, but I woke up this morning and I was surprised to see a really dark almost black looking blood. I'm super confused because I've never had breakthrough bleeding or, even blood this dark on my period. I've been told really dark blood is just old blood, but does that mean new blood is coming soon? I did have sex on 29th of Nov where my SO did ejaculate inside of me but I was on day 5 of my cycle and wasn't scheduled to ovulate till at least Dec 11/12. Should I be really paranoid right now? or is this a common thing?
Any advice would be really helpful =] |

| Nuvaring for 28 days - when do I put it back in? |
[Dec. 24th, 2009|12:53 am] |
Hey guys,
I know this is kind of a beginner's question, but I am pretty new to BC and I just want to be doubly sure that I'm being safe.
Since I'm only on my second ring, I thought I'd post my entire BC history here:
21 Nov: Inserted first ring
12 Dec: Removed first ring, exactly three weeks later. Bleeding started a couple of days after, ended in roughly a week
19 Dec: Inserted second ring, exactly one week later
And that's basically where I am now.
I'm going to see my boyfriend for the first time in a long while on 10 Jan. Unfortunately, the 3-weeks-in-1-week-out schedule prescribes that I remove my second ring on 9 Jan, meaning I will be bleeding when I see him, and that complicates matters, to say the least.
I did some reading up and discovered that you can leave the ring in for up to 28 days, but I have a question about when I should put in my third ring. Should I do it immediately after removing my second ring? Or should I wait a week?
If I remove my second ring on 13 Jan (thereby leaving it in for 25 days) will that eliminate any bleeding between the 10th and 13th? Basically the main goal here is to get rid of any bleeding (be it "period" or spotting) during those days. I know the fact that I'm so new to the ring, and that I'm switching from a 3-week to a 4-week cycle for the first time, has some effect on this.
Thank you! I appreciate any help that's provided.

| Not-Period Wonky because of BC? |
[Dec. 23rd, 2009|10:53 am] |
You guys have probably have had questions similar to this a bajillion times, and I'm sorry for subjecting you guys another one. I've browsed through previous posts, but didn't see anything that quite answered my question. :/
I started birth control for the first time on the 14th of this month (Cyclen 28), which was the first day of my period (which the instructions... instructed). Now, I know it hasn't even been two weeks, but my period hasn't quite ended. My discharge is this light/dull brown colour (which I normally associate with the end of my period) with the occasional spot of bright red blood.
Is this normal? It doesn't really bother me besides being annoying and having to wear a panty liner, but I'd rather it go away.
Any help would be great appreciated.
P.S. I should probably mention that my period is generally 6-7 days long. |

| desperately need a hair cuttt, |
[Dec. 23rd, 2009|11:36 am] |
Hey, i'm making an appointment to get my hair cut and i have NO idea what to do with my hair.
I have basically had it the same way for the past year or so, just a longer version as the time goes by. My ends are dead and they need to be cut off about an inch or so because i want my hair to look super healthy again.
I've always had a ton of layers and even though it's just the style, it always makes my ends look less healthy, or split, so i'm thinking of having a less layered style at the bottom.
Uhmm, here's a picture. Natural, and then Straight.
Any suggestions at all? I have no clue what to do with it, and my bangs.
Pictures would be nice please.

| Pixie? |
[Dec. 22nd, 2009|11:20 pm] |
So I've prettttty much decided, after all this time growing out my hair..i want a pixie again.
Or i can grow my hair out? I literally have no idea what to do about my hair. haha. It's really sad and ridiculous.
So it's pixie and keep it up, and remember to wear makeup to look like a girl,
Or grow it out, and wear clip in extensions whenever? Or keep the bob thing, and add layers...which is kinda boring me right now, and i feel doesnt flatter my cheekbones as much as i wish it did.
Opinions?
Now:
I cut off my disconnection i had, but now i think the back is a lil longer than the front, and I've been wearing my hair natural which has become wavy...which i like.

| An Odd Question About Safety |
[Dec. 22nd, 2009|06:12 pm] |

Hello all! This is my first time posting here.
Anyways, a guy I once knew said that he put a drop of mint extract on his girlfriend's clit, and it made her orgasm immediately.
I was just wondering if this was possible and, if it is, is it safe to do that?
I know, an odd question. xD |

| Sneaky Makeshift Masturbation |
[Dec. 22nd, 2009|08:08 pm] |
I am at my mom's for Christmas, sleeping on the living room couch. I am here for 10 days, all told. And because I'm no longer busting my butt in end-of-semester stress, my sex drive has returned from the grave. (No, it is not a zombie sex drive.) Because of this, it would be kind of nice if I could manage to masturbate some time during this time frame.
Only, I have not enough privacy to do that here. (My mom, yes, is in the room with me now. But she is watching TV, not reading what I type. She would probably notice if I started to jill off, though.) The living room is in the geographic center of a small, sound-carrying house. It is also very visible to other family members getting up in the night. Ain't nothing goes on in this living room but that the whole house knows about it.
So, I am trying to think of ways I can manage this without advertising to the rest of my family, "HAI, AM TOUCHEE TIMEZ NAO!!!" My normal methods of masturbation involve either humping things or vibrators (but not humping vibrators, at least not usually). The vibrator in the living room is, of course, too noisy. Other fun facts, some of which I have only recently discovered:
1) Humping pillows on the couch is also too noisy.
2) The shower is shower-only. There is no handheld shower head, nor is there a traditional bathtub faucet.
3) If I try to masturbate in the shower with my Laya Spot, the hot water runs out before I climax. You can imagine what the introduction of cold water does to my orgasm.
4) Manual stimulation alone -- aka, touching myself quietly under the covers -- does not work for me. I mean, it feels fine, but it's not enough to bring me to orgasm. Certainly, I can just put on my Big Girl Pants and deal with it until I get back home. But if there's a way for me to get off without alerting the whole house to my self-sexcapades, well, that is preferable.
Your creative input is appreciated. |
