Just the Tip: The Pelvic People’s Health & Relationship Resource Center

I’m so sorry I didn’t tell you about this sooner.

Yes, I review pleasure products on my blog, and I also write for The Pelvic People — focusing on pelvic floor health, feeling good, and being gentle with yourself when navigating challenges like:

• Painful sex
• Chronic pelvic pain
• Low desire
• The medical system. (Let’s all let out a collective sigh.)

Really sweet, personable bloggers (like me) interview pelvic floor therapists and sex therapists, read medical journals, and more — to make this quick-start guide possible.

And considering most women will experience painful sex, chronic pelvic pain, or changes “down there” related to peri/menopause, I really should have spoken up sooner about this work I do on the side.

Because it would have helped more people:

• Sex positions for people with endometriosis? There’s a post about that.
• Online courses and exercise guides for managing pelvic floor health and sexual wellness
• A printable PDF to bring to doctors about your pelvic pain symptoms? Yup, there’s a post for that, too.

It’s a different vibe than you might be used to on my blog — like I’m covering up my tattoo sleeves with a cozy cardigan.

Content I’ve written for The Pelvic People

Blog posts I’ve personally written for The Pelvic People’s blog, Just the Tip, include…

How-to guides

• Great Grinding & Playful Pleasure Without Penetration (Or Entry Pain!) — I emailed my editor in all caps about this topic: YES, OMG, YES, I WANT TO WRITE 800+ WORDS ABOUT DRY HUMPING.
• Pleasure Reset Ritual: Going From Frazzled to Fiery — if it’s hard to settle into feeling sexy, that’s okay; you can focus on feeling playful and relaxed first.
  • Related post: my review of Emily Nagoski’s book, Come Together: The Science (and Art!) of Creating Lasting Sexual Connections.
• Reading Between the Sheets: Tuning into a Partner’s Pleasure Cues — often, being good in bed starts with being good at reading your partner in the bedroom.

My personal journey

• Pelvic Health Tips I Wish I Knew Sooner (From an Over-Kegeler) — the post that started it all! Pelvic floor health is so much more than Kegels.

Relationship-focused content

• What Is the Bristle Response? Why Touch Can Start to Feel Stressful — if you’ve ever thought, “ugh, this again” when your partner fondles you while washing dishes, you’re not alone

• Burnout or Spark? The Truth About Desire — nuances about “keeping the spark alive” in a long-term relationship

• When “Not in the Mood” Is Also “Exhausted From Doing Everything” — if you’re a mother managing an imbalanced division of household labor, I see you.

Other pelvic health help

• Queer Women + Pain During Sex — pelvic pain and pain during sex isn’t just a straight woman’s issue. Here’s why.

• Can Edging Harm Your Pelvic Floor? — the grain of truth with “blue balls” and “blue petals”

Pelvic health-related content on my own blog

• VWELL dilator and pelvic wand review archive
• Slick, soul-snatching, beginner-friendly sex toys — it wasn’t originally written as a pelvic floor health guide, but many of the recommendations are on the slim side, which might be helpful if you have hypertonic pelvic floor dysfunction
