Life is too short to keep certain topics off-limits. There are certain things that we don’t see enough of (like body hair), that we are scared to talk to our partners about (like the big O) or that we would never dream of asking for (like sex during that time of the month).
We at My Morning After, are firmly of the view that it’s always better to talk and share. Being confident about your body, your sex life and your morning after means that nothing is off limits: there are no judgments - and that starts with smashing through some seriously outdated boudoir-based taboos.
1 – Sex on the Reds
The moment of dread when you check the calendar only to realise that the romantic weekend away you had planned coincides with that time of the month. Disaster! Or is it?
thinx – the company who pioneered period panties – made headlines this year for their period blanket allowing couples to brave the crimson wave and get their fix. We hasten to point out that laying down a regular towel down can be just as effective – but thinx did get people talking about Period Sex.
Did you know that many women are more horny when they’re on? The reason being that a drop in progesterone puts your libido into overdrive. Many women also experience heightened sensitivity down there, leading to all kinds of ~good vibes~.
Bonus: orgasms can also relieve painful cramps – and PMS symptoms like stress for, well, quite obvious reasons.
Don’t have a towel to hand? Spice things up and try the shower…
2 – Hairy Mary
UGH. This again. Did you know that it was only in June 2018 that an advert for women’s razors actually showed a woman with a hairy leg for the first time? Why in the year 2018 are people STILL surprised – and disgusted – that women have body hair? Sorry that we are literally mammals.
Women have been putting up with this crap for a long time. Way back in the year 2 B.C. the Roman poet Ovid told women to rid themselves of hair, so “that no rude goat find his way beneath your arms and that your legs be not rough with bristling hair.”
After more than 2,000 years of trimming, shaving, plucking and waxing, we’re pretty exhausted. From now on, shaving is my choice – and if you have an issue with hairy armpits or rocking a bush, that’s your problem pal.
