From Cory Silverberg, your Guide to Sexuality
I'm aware that the clock is ticking on April, and I've yet to spend an appropriate amount of time celebrating STD Awareness Month. I promise to rectify that next week, and in the meantime, this week brings a difficult question, some highly recommended homework, and tips on how to bring up the hard stuff. ~ Cory

Sexual Pleasure and Female Circumcision
An About.com reader writes: I am a lady from Africa and I was going through your site and I thought of sharing my problem with you. In our community they circumcise women and Yes that was done to me. Apparently I lost confidence to be with men in bed especially those who want to touch my clitoris (I refuse because I don't want them to know that I don't have it). I have been watching some porn movies and I wish I could feel how they feel. I need to have oral sex but I just can't because it is shaming. Please help me. My response.

Writing Your Sexual History
If you've ever had a sexual history taken by a physician or therapist, they probably asked you a lot of questions about what you've done, when you did it, and who you did it with. That kind of sexual history is really for the benefit of your provider, as it allows them to better understand some aspect of your sexual health and then help you with whatever difficulties you are coming to them with. This kind of history is for you.

Starting a Bad Sex Talk
Whether you're in a brand new relationship or have together for forty years, when you want to bring up a sexual complaint, problem, or concern, panic can set in. This is probably one reason so few of us do try to share the really difficult stuff of our sexual lives. Here are ideas on raising those hard-to-raise issues.
