Dams are squares of latex or polyurethane (a sort of soft plastic) measuring 15cm by 15cm, which you use to cover the anus or female genitals.

This isn’t just about anyone not saying “no”, nor is it something that just happens at the beginning of a union. Sex should involve ongoing consent that isn’t grudging or manipulated. All parties should feel happy and excited, secure in the knowledge that they can stop any time. While we all feel we know this, a BBC study surveying women over 40 found more than a third of respondents had received unwanted slapping, choking or gagging during what was meant to be consensual sex. Some peopledon’trealise that you can get or pass on STIs through oral sex,but if you’re exposed to genital fluids or blood (for example,when a woman is on her period or if you have bleeding gums) the risk is always there.

Remember: barrier methods may not protect you from all STIs, e.g. pubic lice,or bacteria and if you or your partner haveany sores around your mouth, anus or genital area you should avoid oral sex even with protection. If both you and your sexual cohort are overcome with lust, then it can be easier to work out what to do to get jiggy and enjoy rough sex.

If you’re going au naturel, you don’t need to do anything. Your hair will only grow to a short length. You won’t look like Rapunzel down there.

Shop for bikini line trimmers. 2. Shaving But not all formulas are the same — some texturize while adding shine; others are intended for a matte effect. You've gotta have options, after all.
