‘I'm 42 And I've Never Had Sex!’

I'm 42 & I've Never Had Sex. Is It Too Late?

Virginity is both very real, because it is something that personally and emotionally impacts us, and very fake, because we literally made it up. “We’ve been exposed to way too much messaging that suggests that someone wanting us sexually is the absolute zenith of worth, that being able to turn someone on is one of the greatest things we have to offer other people.

Conversations With Friends’ Endometriosis Scenes Are As Brutal As It Gets

Even in 2022, it’s rare to see a woman taking care of menstrual pain on screen, endometriosis-related or otherwise. When it does make an appearance, it tends to be either the butt of the joke (Superbad) or related to a pregnancy scare. But in the adaptation of Sally Rooney’s novel, Frances’ struggle with endometriosis, managing the discomfort (and the blood) it causes, is front and center — even as she tells her friends not to worry about her because “it’s just period pain,” which is all too real for anyone who’s experienced it.
