In today's episode we have a collection of women discussing their most horrifying experiences with their vaginas. Discussions like these are important to have so that we don't feel alone in our struggles and we can get the right information to help address our issues.

If you have a vagina, make sure you go to the gynecologist annually and get tested for STDs every 3-6 months if you are sexually active. Make sure that you take all vaginal abnormalities seriously and seek help from a doctor if you are unsure about what may be causing your issues. 

Pain, irritation, itchiness, and chunky discharge is NOT normal and you should make sure you use these symptoms as guides to assess your health. 

EVERYONE with a vagina experiences abnormalities at some point so NEVER feel like you are dirty or inadequate just because you are dealing with them.

This week we are getting ALL the tea on open relationships.

What is an open relationship?

An open relationship is nontraditional and non-monotonous. Rules and boundaries are set by the individuals in the relationship as opposed.

What is monogamy?

The practice of having/maintaining one partner at a time. Monogamy, by definition, is a term used to describe a marriage, but is commonly used to also describe relationship style.

What is polygamy?

The practice of having/maintaining more than one partner at a time. Polygamy, by definition, is a term used to describe a marriage, but is commonly used to also describe a relationship style.

(not to be confused with Polygyny which refers to ONLY the masculine partner having other partners)
