I just read your vaginal discharge column in the Voice and I have to say that you have got to get some better sources of information about women. Yes, various glands in the vagina produce wetness when a woman gets turned on. That part was fine. As for vaginal “discharge,” I refer to a very good book called Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler, which is an extremely cool book about secondary fertility signs in women, how to chart your menstrual cycle, and lots of other information about the female reproductive cycle.

Cervical fluid looks and feels almost exactly like raw egg whites in the fertile phase of a woman’s cycle. At other times in a woman’s cycle, the fluid is creamy, watery, or nonexistent. If you have sex during a nonfertile time without birth control, it’s extremely unlikely you will get pregnant. The cervical fluid is entirely separate from the stuff that is created when you get turned on, but obviously they can be there at the same time.

Um, thanks for sharing, PW. If anyone else would like to share their unusual masturbation methods, please feel free to write them down and send them to Dr. Laura Schlessinger, c/o Premiere Radio Networks, 15260 Ventura Boulevard, fifth floor, Sherman Oaks, California 91403.
But since you wrote in twice, here’s my advice: Your butthole is a delicate flower, and if you wanna jam a cock into the middle of it without knocking the petals off, you have to take it slow and use lots of lubricant. There are some delicate mucous membranes back there, FF, and when you bang a cock through ’em a little bleeding isn’t uncommon. If there’s a lot of blood, then you’re going too fast or you’re not using enough lube. Or it could be that you have a particularly delicate delicate flower, or perhaps you have an anal fissure–a small tear–that’s easily aggravated. And you know what? You could’ve found all of this out for yourself by cracking open, if you’ll pardon the expression, any one of a dozen books written by gay men about sex. Buy yourself a copy of Anal Pleasure & Health by Dr. Jack Morin or Living Well: The Gay Man’s Essential Health Guide by Dr. Peter Shalit.
