A good toxin free sex toy is cheaper that cancer, treat yourself now honey!

Be aware of the additives and preservatives found in your lubrication and flavored sex goodies as well. Parabens, such as methparaben, propylparaben and other preservatives can irritate the skin. Find a good lube at your health food store that is natural and has only a few ingredients. Oils and salves work well in some cases, (not with latex condoms however). My rule has always been- If you can't read it then don't eat it, but in this case if you can't read it then don't get down with it. Once you've found your new best friend if it still rubs you raw then...well, maybe you just need to slow it down a little!

Dear Stella-

I am eight months pregnant and when me and my husband have sex he gets weirded out because he can feel the baby's head hitting the end of his penis. Is this harmful to the baby? Do other dads have the same experience? What can we do to still be intimate?

Dear Ready to Pop-

This seems to be a common issue with

parents during the last few months of the woman's pregnancy. It is only weird if he thinks it is to close for comfort, or if you are uncomfortable with it. Some dads find that it is hard to concentrate while coming into contact with his child's head during intercourse. Sort of a strange way to bond with baby, eh? He can be reassured by the fact that although the baby is aware that something keeps knocking on its head, the baby is not aware of what it is, or what you are doing. The baby is protected from the constant banging on the top of its head because there is the cervix and bag of fore-waters to cushion it. There are many things you can still do to be sexual and intimate with each-other. Maybe finger-play, oral sex or dildos would be effective, but not so close to the baby. Anal sex may be something to try, unless those friendly hemorrhoids have come to visit. Perinneal massage may be nice, kill two birds with one stone, prepare your tissue for the upcoming birth experience and have an orgasm at the same time. Don't forget about the fact that massages feel good, all over your body, have him rub you down with oils to help your skin to stretch nicely. Taking baths together may be a wonderful option to be naked and sensual. If this is bothering your sexual
