An estimated 30% of people with vulvas experience chronic pelvic pain at some point. Sexual pleasure when you have pelvic pain can be challenging.

Trying to be dominant feels like acting for me. This isn’t to say there is no acting during scenes when I’m bottoming, but there’s a reason why I preferred working backstage when I did theatre in college—I don’t like pretending to be something I’m really not. It isn’t comfortable. It doesn’t feel natural.
