But the experts at Lorals say dental dams are “awkward” to use and “reinvented” the device. 

Dental dams do not always protect against herpes and pubic lice or herpes, which can be caught from skin outside of the vulval area.

It is not clear if Lorals for Protection do – but the knickers cover the whole nether region and prevent all fluid leakage.

Lorals also states that research has found 80 per cent of women report saying no to oral when they really wanted to say yes.

Women are most likely to turn down oral because they’re concerned about hygiene or menstruation.

They also say no due to their shower schedule, bathroom visits, or grooming habits – but Lorals can “solve these problems”.

On Thursday, the company will begin selling the underwear explicitly for infection protection.

Courtney Lias, director of the FDA office that led the review of the underwear, told the Financial Times: “The FDA’s authorization of this product gives people another option to protect against STIs during oral sex.”

“Oral sex is not totally risk-free,” Dr Jeanne Marrazzo, director of the division of infectious diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, said.

There’s growing need for such protection because more “teenagers are initiating their first sexual activity with oral sex,” she said.

The products may also make life easier for people who carry herpes, who are told to wear a dental dam or condom if they engage in oral sex.

People with herpes can have a normal sex life, but have to careful with their partner to avoid passing it on.

Supporting Ukraine Through Purchasing Power: The Initiatives Keeping the Country’s Economy Afloat 0 173

Alice Trout

Amidst the Russian invasion, Ukrainian creatives are launching initiatives to keep the country’s economy going by harnessing consumer power. Spend With Ukraine is one such online resource that connects consumers to Ukraine-based businesses across various industries, while the Ukrainian Emergency Art Fund allows for donations to support artists. Co-founder of Spend With Ukraine, Andrey Klen, emphasizes the importance of supporting the Ukrainian economy through purchasing decisions. He states, “Armies win battles, but economies win wars.”

Ukrainian brands are still operating and many are donating a portion of their sales to different needs to support the country. To sustain interest in supporting Ukraine through spending, increasing the visibility of these initiatives is key. As Klen says, “We want it to blow out.” These efforts not only help Ukrainian creatives but also support existing industries and provide a sense of normality in these difficult times.

Ensuring Safety and Consent in the Adult Film Industry: A Vital Discussion 0 258

Alice Trout

One topic that may be of interest to readers in the adult film industry is the topic of workplace safety and consent.

The adult film industry, like any other industry, has a responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of its workers. This includes providing a safe working environment, protecting workers from physical and emotional harm, and ensuring that all acts are consensual. However, the nature of the adult film industry can make it difficult to ensure that these standards are met. Actors and actresses may feel pressure to perform acts that they are not comfortable with, and there have been instances of abuse and exploitation in the industry.

To address these issues, it is essential for the industry to have clear guidelines and policies in place to protect the rights and safety of workers. This includes providing education and resources for performers, implementing strict consent protocols, and holding producers and directors accountable for ensuring a safe working environment.

Another important aspect of this topic is the importance of consent in adult film. Consent is a crucial aspect of any sexual encounter and must be obtained freely, enthusiastically, and without coercion. In the adult film industry, where performers are engaging in sexual acts on camera, it is especially important that consent is explicitly obtained and respected. This can be achieved through the use of consent forms and communication between performers before and during filming.

By discussing these topics, the industry can work towards creating a safer and more respectful environment for all performers and ensure that the rights and well-being of workers are protected.
