I'm so excited! An organization in Rhode Island called the Centre for Sexual Pleasure and Health found me and my research online, and they asked me for permission to post it on their website. I said yes of course, and now it's gone live.
So behold, my research on the qualities of many personal lubricants that was a part of my fourth year social work practicum at YouthCO in Vancouver, BC. My research is at the bottom of the page, in the spreadsheet.
A big, huge thank you to the CSPH for hosting my research and sharing it with everyone. I am so honoured and humbled to have been invited for this.

London Drugs Now Carries Vibrators!
Totally awesome. :D When I was there last week, I spotted some new lube brands in the local store too. I know where I'm getting my goodies from now on.
Pics of the new lubes are up top, and the vibrators and new Trojans are on the bottom.
I really like the condom cases (middle picture) - I think they're a neat idea, but they're way too expensive at $15 each. My workplace sells simple cases for $4 and they come with 3 Durex condoms in each. Those are more affordable for what I have planned.
On another note with the condom cases, it'd be neat to see something geared towards guys as well, and not just women. Whether it be different colors/designs, I think making them more appealing to men would be a good idea. Birth control and contraceptives shouldn't (and isn't) entirely the woman's responsibility, or one person's responsibility. Both people in the relationship need to think about it and plan for it.

I totally want to try the new Trojans. Maybe I'll start a product-rating series of posts or something. Hmmm...

Article: Why Neither Liberals Nor Conservatives Can Crack the Teen Pregnancy Problem
Read it here. Also worth a read is the academic paper linked titled "Why is the Teen Birth Rate in the United States So High, and Why Does It Matter?"

Article: 11 Year Old Girl Gang-Raped in Texas
Read it here. The guys who did it range in age from middle school, all the way up to 27 years old. And to make matters worse, the whole thing was recorded on cellphones, like the attack in Maple Ridge, BC.
Not impressed with the victim-shaming and the blaming of the girl's mother in the article though.
