Menstrual discs: No more battles on bed!

The stress of my irregular period after every sex led my boyfriend and me to decide that we should have it during my period. Yeah, that did not work out so well for us. So, the last time I remember I had it during my period, my boyfriend fainted with all that blood on his penis. And there I was, baffled whether to be upset for not attaining orgasm or to wake the poor fella up. Sanitary pads do work well to hold the blood, but nothing stops from having period sex to be a battle on the bed, couch, etc. Switching to a menstrual cup did save my pants from gory tales, but nothing changed during sex. Then there was light! LemmeBe introduced the first Z-disc in India, and I was initially skeptical about wearing it, but after running my imaginations about how good period sex would become and that I would not have to be left hanging to orgasm and dearly beloved would continue to be in his senses. The fact that the Z-disc has been engineered so beautifully that it fits right under your pelvic bone does not block the vaginal canal, and one could easily have uninterrupted sex. Unlike the cup, it does not have a tip protruding out. It rather has a membrane that stops the blood from interacting with the penis. The membrane is strong enough to bear thrusts and does not tear open. Sex has not just stopped being messy but has also become pleasurable for both of us due to the disc membrane and thrust transfer.

Pansexuality

Hi! Previously we talked about bisexuality. Today, we'll talk about pansexuality.

Let's assume you randomly choose one individual from each gender that exists and make them stand in a line and glance at them from side to side. Well, a cinematographer would say that you're panning your vision from left to right, and that is how we'll visualize the term "pansexual".

A literal dictionary definition of bisexuality, due to the prefix bi-, is a sexual or romantic attraction to two sexes (males and females) or two genders (men and women). Pansexuality, however, composed with the prefix pan-, is the sexual attraction to a person of any sex or gender. Using these definitions, it is defined differently by explicitly including intersex, transgender, or outside the gender binary.

This identity is pretty common even though the term is lesser than or equally known than "bisexual." It is a sexual, romantic, or emotional attraction towards people regardless of their sex or gender identity. Pan people often refer to themselves as gender-blind, asserting that gender and sex are not the grounds to determine their romantic or sexual attraction to others.

It is a sexual orientation in itself or sometimes can be referred to as an offspring of bisexuality. Pans reject the binary gender as they are attracted to people who leniently consider themselves as "men" or "women" or even don't. This identity is a lot more inclusive than bisexuality.

Ever imagined teaching a class full of dropped jaws and peering eyes? Well, something pretty close to this happens whenever someone opts to educate pupils pricking puberty. Being a teacher is a tough task because one has to be constantly up on one's feet and check up on every person in the class for better communication, understanding or even comfort. Sex education is one such essential yet sensitive topic in India that is mostly avoided. However, some absolutely bold teachers (and kudos to them) choose to educate the masses about sex ascending above any sense of taboo.

Sex education not only includes the better understanding of sex, but also a plenty of information about menstruation, contraceptives, sexuality, identity, sex-related emotions, etc.

Mostly people choose to spread awareness about the physical changes happening to them at the moment and then move on to more complicated matters. That is where, you see, it all starts getting awkward for the students, and eventually, they might make it awkward for the teacher. Talking about breasts and vaginas and penises is as normal as talking about hair and arms and legs.

Since, most teachers start educating their pupils when they're transitioning, they can relate to it better, but it also makes them a bit dysphoric due to the lack of acceptance. Be it the menstruating or the nightfall population, it's very hard and horrifying to undergo these changes before having known about them. Hence, choosing a time to spread knowledge on this realm is extremely critical. Often adolescents transition in different age and not all of them would be mentally prepared to accept an abrupt wave of knowledge. So, it is also essential to prepare them for such a conversation. It is needed that the masses come up to the teachers with every bit of their curiosity and learn the right thing about them. Structures of vaginas and penises should be talked about without making a big deal about it.

There are not many teachers who choose to educate their masses on sex and reproductive health because of a lot of issues, but one must know that it is inevitably necessary for them to know. Some parents don't talk about sex to their children at all. Such behavior should be avoided and sex education should be made a dinner table conversation to make it sound how it should be - normal. Teachers and parents who have cared to curb the curiosity of adolescents have been right in their decisions and I believe that it has shaped minds better.
