To this day, I wish I paid better attention during health class – in particular to chapters five and six of Fully Alive. There are still parts of my body that I’m not entirely sure what their purpose is, or how they interact with other parts to ensure I don’t wake up one morning as a pile of loose flesh.
I’m an adult woman, and I know there are, like, three, maybe four holes “down there”, and I think they all do different things, but whether or not they’re different — I don’t know. Furthermore, I know men have a dink, and that they can do different things with it, but I’m still hazy on how the entire ballsack area works and why it’s even there.

STIs, or sexually transmitted infections, have been a feared and stigmatized topic since biblical times. In contemporary times, we see a prominent stigma surrounding these infections. People are often labelled as “dirty” or “overly promiscuous” due to their affiliation with STIs. These people find themselves affected by a stigma that suggests all STIs are unmanageable problems that cause a person to be tainted for life. Though stigmas have been helped along by popular culture and old literature (for example, every Shakespeare comedy written), it is often taboos that prevent communication about STIs.

Johanson was awarded the Order of Canada for her work in the field of sex education, providing many young people with knowledge they wouldn’t otherwise receive from schooling or home — all before the popularity of her television show.

Sex is often moved “underground” and quietly spoken of. It’s naughty and R-rated and borders on what’s acceptable to share and what’s embarrassingly not.
Karene Howie and her partner Geoff Haselhurst, both philosophers, maintain a philosophy website called sexuality.spaceandmotion.com. Howie explained that philosophy has largely neglected sex, yet sex is central to human existence and survival of the human species.

Environment Canada warns Saskatoon and Southern Saskatchewan will face a “major winter storm beginning on Saturday.”
The late-winter chill comes to the area via Alberta and promises “a heavy dump of snow and very strong easterly winds,” with 10 to 25 centimetres of snow before the end of the weekend. Despite the bad news, Saskatoon will be spared the brunt of the storm as the corridor stretching from Kindersley to Moose Jaw is expected to get the heaviest snowfall.

Fetish, kink, freak — whatever you call it, and whatever you feel about it — is actually everywhere.
Permeating our physical bodies, punctuating our pleasures and playing a real part in the power dynamics all around us, kinkiness remains as primal and passionate as we allow it to be — despite science, institutional and social expectations’ attempts to demoralize and shame it out of us.

Tall, athletic, handsome and an easy fit for the “jock” label when it comes to gay subcategories, 21-year-old Concordia student “Connor” visits Sauna Oasis in the gay village every couple of weeks with his boyfriend, also a university student.
“It all starts with eye contact,” he said of getting laid at the baths. “If I’m interested, I’ll look back twice to get his attention. Just looking at each other says a lot.
