THIS is what it means to use a powerful platform to make a difference in young people's lives, especially young women. Mad respect.
Maaaaddddd respect
One sex health tip I always give out is to pee after sex (it flushes out bacteria) and clean with a wet wipe. If you don't, it can cause UTIs, which are incredibly painful and can cause real damage to your bladder and kidneys, if left untreated.
Kelsey Fleming I agree with this !!!!!
Always do that👍🏻
Totally agree It has worked for me ever since
Kelsey Fleming yes! As a teen I kept getting UTI's after sex and I didn't learn that for a while
I also agrre with this! Always try to pee:)
You are such a strong woman, I applaud you for being so open and sharing such a personal experience so you can help others out. Can you do a storytime about your first serious relationship and what you learned from it? Thanks
Proud of u Dulce. So brave
My sexual education came from my parents. They always talked about it openly. I never felt sex was something to be ashamed of or anything. I waited 'til marriage. I have only been with my husband and I am really happy with my choice :)
Gabriela Centurion Neumann I LOVE your profile pic :D it matches your comment! So cute and I love your comment! I'm just like you except my parents didn't give me any sex talk :( they just said 'dont do it'
Truth I love Up! so very much... Ellie & Carl are goals, LOL! For real, though, I hope our love story stands the test of time as well
i wish that my parents were like that:// they're super religious (catholicism) and anything to do with sex is a big no no until I'm married
Gabriela Centurion Neumann you are very lucky
Elle I am sorry that is the case for you :| My parents are Jehovah's Witnesses and so am I. We believe that when someone wants to make a conscious choice, that person needs to know about the subject so as to be able to decide if they will or will not do something and the reasons why they decide that. That is why my parents talked about it with me openly and I was able to make a decision for myself. Maybe you could try to find a moment when your mom or your dad are able to talk with you calmly and tell them that there is a lot of information about sex going on everywhere and that you wanna know from their perspective, that you want them to talk with you about it and not hear it from someone else? It is just an idea. I truly hope you will be able to have a healthy talk about sex with your parents :) All the best to you!
I had got chlamydia when I was 18-21 twice and was so afraid I would never have children , I tried and tried and nothing until I left the partner I was with at the time come to find out he the one that gave it to me I got treated and been with the man I’m gonna marry and now I’m 18 weeks pregnant , god truly does miracles and it took me only 6 months to get pregnant , also cause I was irregular on my period so maybe that’s why it took a little longer but i was so blessed that I could be a mom . Now due in February 18 2019! NEVER GIVE UP !!!
I love her 😍 I love how honest she is. I respect her so much now.
Erica Blessed she's a boss for the realness of this video. Im subscribing
I had the same story, exactly the same. Got surgery in my cervix too. Lack of education brings us there. Thank you for educating 💋💋💋
hi, would you mind sharing how long your dr made you wait for the surgery? I was diagnosed with HPV last year and told I have abnormal cells but that they should clear up on their own and to follow up with a obgyn in 6 months to a year, going for an appt soon but I am terrified that I waited too long to follow up.
You have to do it ASAP, I got it done after a month, good luck!
Not everybody that has hpv needs “the surgery” your doctor would tell you if need a biopsy done. Best practice is to follow up with regular paps.
I got pap smear positive for HPV then they took biopsy and it was positive too, then after that like in 3-4 weeks I had the surgery done. After surgery which was 9 years ago I'm fine.
HPV never goes away..even if u had surgery to take it out.just means that it was forming and u got that part out..it’s Like chicken pox it gets locked back inside and comes out when ur immune system is weak..for guys u can’t test Becuz it’s not 100% accurate..so it is a killer! Be careful if u have it becuz U can spread it..even through kissing!
Thanks for your candor. It takes a real strong woman to speak so openly. I know this video will make such a difference in so many peoples lives. Nuff respect 💕
Thank you so much for being so RAW and AUTHENTIC. I am 21, latina, and still a virgin simply because i havent found someone i trust with that part of me. This video not only made me thankful for how ive chose to live my life but also educated me more. Its women like you, who change other peoples loves and also remind them that there is nothing wrong with being careful because at the end of the day we only have one life and one body so we should cherish it. Thank you dulce for this video ❤️
Wow...So brave of you to talk about this publicly. Thank you for sharing and spreading awareness to your audience.
I think it happens in a lot of Hispanic households where parents don’t talk about STD’s and sex. They just always say to be careful but they don’t mention the consequences. I learned about everything when I was in high school and took a health class. I was always the one that told my friends that they needed to be tested and I would even get tested myself to make them more comfortable.
Minerva O To be honest,I think its probably a lot of first generation households. Because my parents were born here. My mom always talked to me about sex and Stds since I was quite young. I mean yeah she is old fashioned and she prefers if I wait til marriage but she doesn't want me pregnant or to have to go through the pain of Stds. ( Yeah I'm mexican)
Girl for me, my parents didn’t even have to tell me about it. Just the fear of getting something or doing something stupid and them finding out scared the living shit out of me.
My parents never told me about stds
Minerva O I totally disagree with you. STDs are all around the world so please don't be shaming a certain population or race that is just wrong. Discrimination
Thats true they dont talk much about the consequences
this is what people who are sexually active need to hear. Thank you dulce for being the mature adult and example that young people and people of all ages need to hear from. And thank you for using your platform for something so important for all humanity.
This video totally made me cry because I was one of the ones that thought it would never happen to me and I was carrying the HPV virus for a very long time because there isn't a whole lot of symptoms and unfortunately I did not know and the HPV virus turn into cervical cancer for me. So yes it's so important to get tested and to just make sure you're okay
Melinda Watkins hpv is very common /: i got it last year fortunately it hasn’t turned bad but I have been checking
Lightbeing1111 keep up on checking. They told me I had it but most just fight it off and my body probably will just fight it and I'll be fine..that's all I heard "most body's fight it off and it doesn't turn bad" so I thought ok I'll be fine let's not go back..didn't go back I for a couple years and when I did, I had cancer :( I promote getting checks to everyone and anyone who will listen. Prayers to you that everything turns out good for you! It was a hard battle.
Melinda Watkins are you okay now ? I checked earlier this year they told me to come back after 3 years
Lightbeing1111 I have been in remission for going on 3 years cancer free... But I get my scan in a couple weeks they think it may have resurfaced, I'm staying positive. Anyways just my opinion I'm not a professional but my advice please get checked yearly especially if any signs came up.. or if you have the slightest concerns. I have to see my oncologist every 3-6 months for another 3 years.. then it will go back to yearly unless the cancer is back.
Melinda Watkins girl me too I was on the last stage of squamous cells before it completely formed into cervical cancer. People need to get tested whether they’re shy or embarrassed or ashamed. Anyone reading this please just go in
Dulce, thank you so much for using your platform and honesty to help other women take control of their sexual health. You are so real and genuine, it radiates from my computer screen.
Incredible respect to you for talking about this in such a public platform. Let's hope this informs and educates people of all ages. No nasty or judging comments should be left as Dulce has spoken about an important and personal subject on the worlds Internet. I'm sure there are people who wouldn't have the courage to do so!!
Opening up and educating like this is amazing Dulce!! Such an example. I hope more UA-camrs spread messages like this. Knowledge is the best form of empowering!!
Wow it is so good to hear you stand in your truth and say it without shame. I've worked in HIV/STD for over 10 years and I'm in my 30's. This is such an important topic that young people need to be educated on and you are definitely doing your part! Thank you!
Huge respect for you, hermana! Well done for tackling this and being SO BRAVE to talk about your own experience. As someone who's also been inspiring latina women full time for a few years now, this is something that fills me with pride. Eres ESPECTACULAR, mujer!
Dulce, I applaud you for sharing your story 😀 Thanks for putting a real face to STD awareness. Ladies, empower yourself and take care of your body.
I was in middle school in Massachusetts in 2005-2008 and we discussed STDs a lot. I never realized how grateful I'd be for that until meeting people that weren't given that knowledge at a young age
Omg I feel so connected to you right now. I thought I was the only girl who had a cervical surgery at 18 😢 I was so ashamed too but now I know this made me stronger and to love my body even more. PLEASE TAKE CARE EVERYONE and if you have an STD already, give your body GOOD FOOD so your immune system keeps you healthy 💕
Love that you're bringing light to this topic, and that you're brave enough to actually talk about it!
Thank you for bringing awareness to your audience! You got so much respect from me love!
I love how honest and confident you are!
I salute you! First person I see in UA-cam doing this. Very admirable and thank you for bringing awareness
Thank you so much for this video. This is definitely beneficial for a lot of women who are not educated in this area
Forever appreciating how open and profesional you are about everything.
Love that you are so open and candid and that you are expanding and using your UA-cam platform in such a meaningful and powerful way! Absolutely love all of your videos!
Thank you for using your platform to educate, and prevent this from happening to someone else. Love you Dulce!!
Omg!!! Same thing happened to me at 18!! I was so young and naive. Wow, God bless you!! Thanks for sharing your story. ❤
When I thought I couldn’t get any more reasons to love and admire you... I am so proud of you Dulce. You are helping others with your honesty. A big hug for you💕 Blessings💕
It takes strong confident woman to speak about this and to be so honest! Dulce, Ive been watching you for soooo long! I feel like its been 10 years actually. I always thought of you as a friend, thank you for being such a good role model and inspiration and always using your platform for good!
love that you're talking about this! Nobody talked to me about this growing up and I think parents are often afraid that they are encouraging their daughters to have sex ( or "approving" it) by addressing these things but I caught chlamydia as a very young woman and this is a real issue. great topic!
Good job I'm proud of you
I was informed by my mom and school-- and my own googling research (LOL) about sex education.
My very protective Hispanic mom would always scare me and warn me with photos of severe STD symptoms and remind me that if I ever chose to have sex to stay protected or if no protection was present to just abstain. I love this video Dulce! So happy that there are people like you willing to discuss personal experiences to help others in the younger generation! I wish you the best of luck in starting a family soon as well ❤️
Thank you for being so open about this. It helps destigmatize the community so others won’t be as afraid to get tested early on. It helps to know there others out there going through similar experiences as me even if I can’t talk on it. I applaud you for sharing and helping others with your story and info.
You are so brave, thank you so much for sharing, and being a mom to your viewers especially the ones who won’t speak up and use their resources. We need women like you. You are an inspiration!
So proud of you for doing this video!!
Thank you for being so transparent and sharing your story!
This is exactly the kind of honest advice and perspective that young people, especially, need! You are so beautiful, respectful, and wonderful! Thank you so much for this video.
so much respect for you Dulce. I've been in a very similar situation and it is so nice to see someone i look up to talk about such a "taboo" subject that should be talked about more often. love you girly... thank you for being you.
Thank you for stepping up and spreading this awareness. I wish I had known as much about std testing now than I did 2 years ago. I trusted the person I was with and hey lied about having STDs and I found out later that I had herpes type 2. Something that I will have for the rest of my life. I hope a lot of people read up on STDs and take testing seriously. Regardless if you’re only with one person or exploring your sexuality it’s good to know
Hey my ex lied too and I got it. It’s such a stressful situation but it definitely puts things into perspective. You get to choose more wiser about what you allow in your life
I was dating a police officer and was very careful and didn't know he was cheating on me. Where I live the Planned Parenthood changed the policy at that time that when ur birth control prescription was up in 3 months, u had to go in and get STD testing before a refill. I got the call I got chlamydia. I was devastated and that ultimately how I found out he wasn't being faithful. I learned that even in a good profession, one where they are supposed to protecting people, can do harm to people themselves without realizing the true damaged they cause.
Angelina Bennett that's so sad to find out
qubanmaggot yes it is and I hope that no one else has to go through that
Did he knew he had it? ??
Claudia Medina idk but he denied cheating
Angelina Bennett did u get tested right after u had unprotected sexual intercourse with him and came out negative and then got tested again later and came out positive? If not, maybe he caught it from a past relationship and didn't know he had it and transmitted it to u, and u only found out because u had to get tested or vice versa.
I respect you sooo much dulce! You have no idea how many lives you’re going to change by informing us and reminding us once again on how to be safe about our bodies and sex. Thank you💕
Can't even begin to express how much respect I have for you, for everything you stand for. For using your platform to give people a voice. Normally this is taboo in our society where it's even more common than we can truly understand. Keep being amazing and breaking barriers!!
I dont normally comment in to youtuber videos ! I truly love you and all youtubers and admire your work ! But this video literally saved my life ! I have had pap smear that and came out positive with Hight risk HPV ! I was suicidal i did not want to live anymore ! Dolce you saved my life If you are alive fine and happy i can be better too ! Your video gave me a hope to live a hope that i am not dirty that i have HPV ! I cant thank you enough for making this video ! You made me hopeful for life ! Thank you ! Love you ! ❤️❤️❤️
Shab Jan HPV is very common but most of the people don’t talk about it.
So glad you saw the video. You have so much joy to bring to the world. And you might be the next to save someone else.
When I was 18 I was a freshmen in collage and I took a Human Sexuality class, I'm so glad I did, I learned a lot from that class. At that age I lost my virginity to my now husband but because I knew he had been sexually active with other girls prior to me, I took it upon my self to have him get checked and I myself got check. Thankfully we were both okay. STDS are a very serious issue. I'm glad your using your platform to spread awareness.
Wow you are incredible brave to talk about this on your channel and I applaud you! I too had a similar experience. When I was about 20, I had a abnormal pap. I was told that I had HPV and I was so incredible scared. I had to have a biopsy done, which confirmed that I had pre cancer cells. I was incredibly lucky that it was caught early enough to be treated. I had to have a Leep procedure done to remove part of my cervix. I have continued to get Pap smears every year since then and have not had any other abnormal paps, Thank GOD! I think it is so important to openly discuss these issues so that people become more educated. You have inspired me to not feel ashamed and to tell my story to as many people as I can.
Omg I LOVE all this info! We need MORE people to talk about these things! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing and using your platform to help and inform others! Much love and respect Dulce! ❤️
Today's my birthday and i just found out I caught chlamydia from someone who promised they got tested recently and did not have anything. I've watched your beauty videos for years and was surprised to see your face pop up when i went to go look for videos about dealing with an STI. thanks for speaking out about the topic!!
Thank you for this video ❤️ I lost my sister to cervical cancer caused by HPV and it was because of lack of knowledge on this topic. This video is SOOOO important. Thank you so much for speaking out ❤️
Also to add to your question in the video, I wish my sister had the chance to get the HPV prevention shots. Luckily I was able to get them and I will forever be grateful for that but many people don't even know these shots exist. This shot could save your life!
Love how mature and strong you are about it. I think this video really touched many others.
This is amazing, thank you for speaking about your experiences and dismantling the stigma surrounding STDs. Been following you since high school 💖
Thank you for this video! I have a similar story & I feel less alone now!
Wow thank you so much for your honesty. When I was younger well when I started being sexually active. I got in trouble and ended up having a probation officer and told her I was active. And man she gave me the run down. But so thankful for her advice and being like what a bigger sister or mom would of done. Because I didn't half to experience std but I probably would have if it wasn't for my po. FYI I haven't had trouble with the law ever since. Be careful out the ladies. And be good to your body.
Thank you for being so open and talking about this topic. Major props! Thank you for educating women and not making them feel so alone.
Wow wow wow. I've always respected you o much..opening up like this really increased my respect for you..I love how open and honest you are. You're amazing ❤️
This is important!!!
Unfortunately, I have 2 cousins that got chlamydia in there younger days and they both cant have kids. One cousin is extremely distraught about it and has done thousands of pregnancy tests throughout the years. One just adopted a little baby girl.
S Fort I wasnt completly sure but i googled it and it said its curable, all i know is that if you wait too long to get treatment on it, it damages your reproductive system and it usually cant be reversed.
😢
This is what YT should be about. Important issues of the peoples. Respect Dulce for sharing such a personal story!!
I’ve been following you for years and I really love the evolution of your channel and of you as a person of course, always trying to do something good out there. 💕
Very proud of you
Thank you for the awareness dulce 🍬 you keep it real 💜
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Most people usually feel invincible when it comes to STDs or even unplanned pregnancies until it happens to them especially when they are young and care free
I swear my respect for you grows with every one of these videos in this series. I feel like I'm getting to know you on such a personal level, and you are reaching so many people. I feel like God is using you to help people, and I'm so happy for you!
Thank you for making this video and opening up, this was extremely helpful thank you so much dulce❤️
I wish I knew how easy it was to get stds and how easy it can be to be safe and practice safe sex. I feel like parents should educate their children or even high schools should offer class. So many people, including myself, are sexually active at a young age and don't know anything at all. I think it's better to be young and safe than young and unaware or unaware at any age. I took a class in college on human sexuality that taught me so much I wish I had known three years prior when I was actually making decisions that I probably shouldn't have. Thank you so much Dulce
I just came across this video. Kudos to you for being so honest and open about your personal experience.
Thank you so much for this episode. STDs is a very important topic that rarely gets the attention it requires.
Thank you for talking about this ❤️
Nessy Ness WELCOME TO MY CHANNEL GUYS
I definitely did NOT have the talk from my Mexican parents lol shoot I didn't even get the period talk. Like damn my mom could've at least given me a warning so I wasn't walking around the mall in my white shorts and red stains appearing all over 😳but that's beside the point. I'm 30 and have always been prone to frequent UTIs after sex. when I started having sex at 17, I would get that intense burning after peeing and when I would tell my mom, she would all of a sudden get mad, not acknowledge the issue and hand me antibiotics from Mexico to take. At the time I was so confused as to why she would get all mad. Like HELLO I'm the one in horrific pain when I'm peeing 😂 She never did tell me what that pain was. I didn't know until I was pregnant with my first and was constantly getting them. It's when I learned I'm one of the unlucky few that gets them no matter how careful or "clean" the hubs and I are. Now that I have 10,8,3 yr olds it makes me nervous to have all "the talks" but I know it's important to not send them out there in the world doing things blindly. They need to know all the risks and to never be afraid to come to us for anything.
Thank you so much for making this kind of content, Dulce. So many young people look up to you and you are normalizing these conversations. That is important work. You're the best, girl!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I applaud you for talking about something so personal and for a lot of people embarrassing. I think it's great that you're telling us about your personal experiences not many people are willing to talk about something so private to everyone thank you so much for providing information for people who are embarrassed to ask their parents or simply don't know where to get answers. You're so humble and a great person been following you since 08' keep doing what you do!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Gosh you are an amazing woman I get tested after every partner even when I use protection luckily I’ve only had reoccurring yeast infections from sex but thank you for speaking up and luckily I think I got the vaccine for HPV
I got extremely lucky on having an amazing mom who is a nurse! When I was 6 years old she sat me down and opened this fat ass book about the reproductive system and as I got older she would show me more fat ass books about sexual health lol I got really lucky, i was always very aware about things like this. I got my period when I was 9 so when I was 10 I got the the vaccine that prevents hpv. Since my mother was like that with me I know I'm going to be like that with my daughter because it's so important for everyone to be more aware about sexual health and the reproductive system. Our bodies really is something that we have to protect
Wow takes so much guts to share and talk about it.. love how honest u are thanks for raising awareness
You’re so honest and humble. Thank you for this.
My mom was the one who told me not to have sex with just anyone. She would always tell me it just takes one time to get pregnant. I was always scared to have sex because I thought I would get pregnant. But thankfully I waited and Ive only been with 1 person, my now husband and Im really happy I didn't give it up so freely. Its been 7 years and thank God no babies yet.
Emily Marie 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I wished growing up I had someone tell talk to me about sex cause the whole " one time to get pregnant is very true" it happened to me. All it took was 1 time
Isabella Rose yeah a baby really is a gift but unfortunately for me I had a misscariage 2 weeks ago
Isabella Rose Thank you. Your words mean so much. It is really hard and emotional but I hope one day I can have my children in the future. 💖
The main tip I was told by my parents was to always no matter what use protection. I'm 29 yrs. and I have never experienced any STD. So that's my advice to young girls... always always always make him wear a condom
This speaks to me so deeply dulce thank you for having the courage to talk about this. I went in for what I thought was a UTI and when I got the call a few days later saying I had chlamydia I was shocked I was ashamed and felt dirty too. What's worse is that my husband of 8 years gave it to me, meaning he has been with women unprotected. You are right it does not define us xo
Love how positive you are ! You are seriously a role model .
I have HPV too. It’s turned into cervical cancer and I found out about the cancer at 13 weeks pregnant. 😩 I had the biopsy but can’t have anymore of my cervix removed because it would terminate the pregnancy. I’m 29 weeks now.. We wait now, until the baby is born to see what’s happened with the cancer.
How did it go
@Brookesobasic I'm sorry to hear that you had to go through that.😔😔
Thank you for sharing!!! Btw where did you bought that shirt?? Cute
Thank you for being so brave! There’s nothing to be ashamed of! We need to stop the stigma.
Thank you Dulce!! This was so brave of you to talk about especially being Hispanic well my parents were so old school they didn’t discuss anything about sex growing up bc in a way it was so shamed apon ! You really opened up and shared and explained and opened our eyes these things do happen and I just want to thank you for being so honest! And for also using this platform to help and talk about real life situations that matter! Thank you girl!! Love you and tons of respect!!
I wish I would have gotten the Gardasil shot when I was younger. I never thought I'd get HPV so I never got the shot. However, HPV can last for 1-2 years in guys/girls, so even if you're with a partner, and you're exclusive, you can still get HPV from him even if you wait a year after dating to start being sexually active with each other. Seriously. That's what happened to me. When a guy gets tested for STDs, they don't check for HPV (it's difficult to test in men). So, even though I thought I was being responsible by waiting 8 months to have sex, making sure we both get tested beforehand...you can still get HPV! So get Gardisil. I have my 6-month follow up pap-smear next month and am hoping I'm now HPV-negative (90% of HPV cases resolve on their own in 2 years), but there's still a chance it could turn into cervical cancer or I may need surgery like Dulce had. It's scary to be worrying about your health.
Gardasil can cost infertility and there's no science approved that it's actually works, it just it might work. Also there is a lot of side effects and even deaths. Please read more about it.
mle011 I was told that the hpv that's causes cancer doesn't go away.
My doctor told me 90% of the time it goes away on its own within 2 years, and you'll start to get HPV-negative results again.
With all due respect, it's scare tactics like this that made my mom not want me to get vaccinated with Gardasil when I was younger. Cervical cancer can also lead to fertility issues and even death, and since Gardasil, cervical cancer rates have significantly decreased. I'll take my medical advice from medical professionals (i.e. my doctor) and not from UA-cam comments.
mle011 haha doctors and farmacy make money from those vaccines 😊 and in my country they only vaccinate girls 10-13 age who are still virgin, because there's no point after that cause this vaccine are not a cure from hpv. It's just a thing which MAYBE prevent hpv. Hovewer it's your life and your choise so be smart 🙄
also important to note that HPV vaccines can be life saving! great video.
Thank you Dulce! Yes these subjects need to talked about and not stuffed in a closet or swept under the rug. You make it a point to me when my son becomes a teen that I need to talk to him and educate him and instill good values into him. Thank you again Dulce.
I love how open and honest you are!💝
Yeah I have hpv and recently found out I have herpes recently. was really low and felt really sad. Sucks when you make wrong choices and just realize. I am 25 and 80 percent of the population have oral herpes or herpes in general. Sad but I wanna check all the time now.
Zayneb Love how are you coping with having herpes? I cry all the time because I’m afraid no one wants me anymore :( the psychological aspect of it is killing me
Dulce Candy,
I will like to know more about the surgery on cervix. Was it painful?
Thank you! Beautiful ❤
It’s called a colposcopy. A Tylenol should help. It depends on the severity of the case when anesthesia is needed.
No, a colposcopy is only a tiny sample to see if you have Carcinoma in Situ I, II, or III. Carcinoma in Situ grade III is non-invasive cancer and requires surgery, either with a scalpel or a laser. Or you could have invasive cancer and need surgery. A colposcopy is just like using a paper hole punch to get a sample while you are awake.
I am a registered RN in the women’s health and OB/Gyn field. I am also a survivor of cervical cancer.
Whoa, im blown away by your maturity Dulce to open up about your past issues and how you are trying to help others.
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 yes !!! I'm a family planning health worker and this is what we need. People that have a platform to be brave and share their stories/correct information. Thank you!
Love you gorda chula 💓
I wish the clinics have the HPV vaccinations back when I was younger. The leep procedure isn't painful... the BIOPSY is the one that hurt like a m... trucker! I had 4 normal pap smears ( yayyyy) so now I can try to become pregnant. Wish me luck! . I felt the same way when I knew that I had HPV 😢
maquillajeatuestilo sO HPV can stop you from getting pregnant ?
lalayou11509 kinda. What about if it gets worse? Pregnant women can't take much medications. The baby needs a strong and healthy mommy
You’re so amazing for being so open despite the negativity of the internet! I respect you highly
I love that you made this video! I love your honesty and you are so strong for opening up about this “taboo” topic. Growing up in a Hispanic household my parents, mainly my mom, scared us about sex and would constantly yell at us “you better not get pregnant!” And it made us feel like that was the only thing that can happen from sex. This was instilled in our minds but here was never any conversation about safe sex. And I wish my mom would’ve had a warmer more in depth conversation about it instead of yelling at us and making us feel dirty about it. I am now 30 years old so I’ve learned a lot on my own through mistakes and I really hope young girls who are curios can see this and learn about it the right way. Again, thank you for this.
I got one with my boyfriend of 8 months who lied to me over the whole relationship because I was ever vocal about geting tested and I was clean before I got with him. Even If u r in a trusting relationship get tested, now a days even married people need to get test once a year at least. I'm all good now antibiotics got rid of it but every new partner I have I get tested. #yestotests
Wow that's a rough experience with std's, don't even want to know where that dude you dated has been o.O it can be extremely dangerous guys! Please please protect yourselves! I work in a hospital, and one of my patients was sleeping around and somehow caught the flesh eating bacteria. He lost half his pelvis/groin, all the flesh needed to be cut out asap to save his life. It all started with just a small sore spot he thought was a boil. So take these things seriously!
keepinitreal good god what in the fuck???! Im never having sex again wow
just be responsible about who you're with, and about what you do. All actions have consequences.
Anybody can carry these diseases - even handsome men who didn’t sleep around. They could get it from the first woman they ever slept with. And women can get it from the first man they ever sleep with.
I have always been appreciated that you talk so openly about very important topics and share your personal story with us!
I had no sexual education at home and very little in school. I grew up feeling ashamed of my sexuality, and once I became sexually active, I contracted HPV. Like you, I had a leep procedure on my cervix. Thankfully it cleared on its own and I've had a clean bill of health ever since, I'm 41 ys/o now. Thanks for sharing so openly and honestly! It helps me having gone through it, and those who need to know before they become sexually active. ❤️
