Healthy Sex Support Group
This community is dedicated to an open discussion about healthy sex and sharing thoughts and feelings about sexuality and improving one's sex life. Most active adults desire to have an active and fulfilling sex life, both for themselves and also their partner. Here we discuss common sexual challenges faced by both men and women.
Growing up in the i980s, in school during sexual education we repetitively heard one of our teachers say, "There's no such thing as safe sex even with the protection in the use of a latex condom."

My Bipolar Disorder is a result of family violence, but I didn't know until I was educated at Mujeres Unidas. Some of the stuff I encountered they called domestic abuse and strictly between spouses.

I've also learned...
He respected my moral beliefs and didn’t push me until I was ready and it was 6 months after being in a relationship I am guilty of masturbation.
I wish we had married in a church.
The implication was clear. You are paid by the Archdiocese. If you want to continue to work with the Archdiocese you better support the assertions made by the Church
