Let's talk about sex baby let's talk about you and me let's talk about all the good things and the bad things, yeah baby.
“...to be honest I didn't have sex until I was 21 and I just wanted to wait to find someone that I connected with, I didn't have to be in love or you know be in a relationship or be married or anything like that I just wanted to have a connection… so I waited until I found that” - Addison
If you talking to me, we going deep in some way. Gossiping about other people and the weather rarely makes an appearance, but your dreams will. My room is like a spaceship in the jungle. When you go through the house, walk down the hallway to my door, then you enter my room… your whole energy changes, I witness it every time. It smells like Nag Champa incense with a dash of eucalyptus… or lavender from my oil diffuser. Friends and family will get comfortable and attach themselves to whatever object their soul is screaming for. Anyway, My friend Addison and I meet up about once a week. She makes the effort to visit me before she starts her shift at work. Addison comes into my room, sits on my bed, and pulls out her fun bag. I roll up and it begins, she starts to pour the happenings from the last week onto me, we both do. After some belly laughs and belly breathes, we begin zoning in on what she really wanted to say. I start the phone recorder and spark the j at the same time, starting the conversation on sex and controlled since birth. This goddess has been through surgery in the last year to remove several cysts and is actively finding holistic ways to keep her cysts from growing or coming back all together. We talk about a lot, a shit ton to be more accurate. I was intrigued with her experience on and off birth control, strengthening the notion of societal expectation and women being controlled since birth. We are bringing awareness to some intriguing facts about how birth control manipulates the body to respond in a more linear (masculine) way than our natural feminine cyclic manner. The use of birth control can potentially lead to other serious medical conditions like issues with bone density, loss of libido, liver challenges, and much more. Women taking birth control have experienced light, little, or no blood. When the blood stops, where does it go? Is it backed up like a plumbing system? More importantly, how can one have a sex positive lifestyle without manipulating the body? Addison tells me her story and I want to share some highlights from that conversation.

Listening to the above clip, I would advise anyone taking birth control to check the long term effects it has on your body. In this case, with Addison, the Depo Provera shot, in the long run can cause bone density issues and should not be in the body for more than 2 1/2 years. Also, there are many side effects (just like any drug) when withdrawing from birthcontrol.
Birth control hormones for women, manipulates the body to act more linear than the more natural cyclic way women operate. There are many birth control methods on the market today (for men and women). If you are concerned with hormones messing with your natural flow, I suggest doing your research and testing control methods that work for you, the sexually active individual. Of course, abstinence from sex is 100% gaurenteed method for birth control.
If you are looking into birth control hormones, be aware at the doctors office. Ask the doctor or physician assistants questions about the different levels of hormones and request alternative methods other than hormone treatments. The doctor and you espcecially can get to know your medical history and sta...
