This article should begin with a disclaimer: in no way am I an expert on women\u2019s health, nor do I claim to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, like many men, I find the topic to be pretty intimidating. Discussing female sexual health feels uncomfortable. And in the midst of an often-ignored social topic, the unattainable pressure of getting every bit of terminology perfect means that I would have rather avoided the discussion altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That said, regardless of where we may fall on the gender spectrum, each of us has a sister, daughter, wife, or friend that we care about. These conversations – talking about sexuality, menstruation, STD prevention, or abortion – are essential to these women\u2019s wellbeing. When we give in to stigma (or the belief men shouldn’t talk about these things), we lose a little integrity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
