Breaking down some of the crazy, historical backstories of how certain STI’s acquired their names

Different risk levels associated with sexual activity and best practices to stay safe

Abstinence, sexual education in America and what’s clearly not working

Clitorally shocked by some of the shame based content on social media surrounding STI’s. See TikTok here!
