I had an interesting question land in my inbox the other day – from a woman who wanted to know whether to use yoni eggs or yoni steaming for a certain sexual health issue she was wanting to address. There is obviously a lot of overlap between the two practices. So that got me thinking … [Read more…]
Pic: Nicky Newman Photography For those of you who live in South Africa, you will probably be very aware of the public protests against violence to women that were held outside parliament last week. South Africa has a horrifically high rate of gender-based violence – and women here have had enough. Triggered by a string … [Read more…]
I think there is still a very common belief (in society at large) that if women are in a relationship, there shouldn’t be a need for her to self-pleasure. Here’s why I don’t agree with that – and also why I feel self-pleasure is so important for all women, of all ages. First of all, … [Read more…]
Anyone who’s ever suffered from a urinary tract infection (UTI) will know just how painful, debilitating and outrageously irritating they can be! And although men can also get UTI’s, women are far more likely to experience them mainly because the urethra (the tube between the opening of the urethra and the bladder) is shorter in … [Read more…]

The best way I can sum up how I feel about the effectiveness of yoni steaming is to say that gynaecologists really should throw away their textbooks and just prescribe yoni steaming instead! That might sound a little extreme to some people – but once you have looked into this practice for long enough – … [Read more…]
It is always fascinating to me how much time and money gets spent on all kinds of aesthetic self-care but so little on our not-quite-so-visible sexual self-care – the importance of which has, up until recently, been so seldom spoken about. At one time it really did seem like the “hidden” taboo subject of our … [Read more…]
So many of us are far more familiar with sexual shame than we would like to be! So what are the root causes of sexual shame and, most importantly, how do we go about releasing it? Growing up in most cultures teaches us a level of non-acceptance – or an inability or unwillingness to see … [Read more…]
One thing that I notice becoming more and more prevalent nowadays is the idea of making someone else responsible for our own individual circumstances.
