The V-Word

One concept we hold very dear at Good Clean Love is that of ‘Equal Pleasure’, so much so that we made it a tenant of our sexual health initiative, Make It Good. Why? Because we shouldn’t just settle knowing our partners have been pleased, we should also expect to be pleasured in return. It is the simple idea that the individuals participating in a sexual encounter are equally satisfied....

“A riot is the language of the unheard.”  Martin Luther King Jr.

I am a fan of historical fiction and almost always in the midst of how other people lived through the challenges of a distant time. Witnessing history through fictional personal stories makes it real for me and has often left me marveling at how my own existence has never been swept up in any of the vast sea changes that political...

Yesterday in our article, Because Women’s Health Matters, we mentioned that gynecology clinics and universities are the two most common sources of sample requests. Today we wanted to highlight one of our favorite sample recipients, Praxis Clinical- an unlikely combination of the two. Alexandra Duncan, the founder of Praxis, takes female reproductive health into her own hands. Literally. “I use my...

“Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.” Simone Weil

I am a daily meditator, which is another way of saying that I work with my own attention every day. As anyone who has ever tried to sit in quiet will attest, for as many days as I get to fall back into a deep pulsing vibration of stillness, there are the minutes of watching my mind flit from one thing to the next, repeating old...

The older I get, the more I appreciate how long it truly takes to be able to understand, articulate and define what we know. Partly this is because what we know is continuously evolving as we grow.

Successful aging, I think, is when...

There are many good reasons to slow sex down but without question, the most meaningful is that we can bridge the orgasm gap through extending lovemaking time. The orgasm gap is the misunderstood and often overlooked time span that most women require to turn on their arousal mechanism in comparison to their male partner. It’s easy for sex to become just one more thing that we rush through- immersed, as we are in a culture where we are always on the go, double-booked and multitasking. Reading a slow sex book can offer valuable relationship advice on how to enhance intimate relationships by taking things at a more mindful pace.

Since I started working at Good Clean Love, I’ve grown more conscious of what I use on and put inside my body.

Every day we are exposed to hundreds, if not thousands, of chemicals. Between my shampoo, lotion, makeup, and toiletries, there is no way I could keep track of them all. That’s normal, and I assumed others would do the heavy work for me (the FDA, for example).
