The Supreme Court's overturn has changed the sex talk.
a national focal point. So, it makes sense that people now think it's especially urgent to be on the same page with a partner about how they'd handle an accidental pregnancy before having sex.
Experts are encouraging people to have more up-front talks about how they plan to prevent an unintended pregnancy and how they'd deal with the situation if it did happen. And while that can seem like a heavy conversation to have with someone you think of as a potential hookup, it's never been more critical. Here's where to start.Yes, sex conversations can be a little awkward. But try to avoid overthinking it, says sex and relationships therapist, LMFT.
It's best to have these conversations when all parties are in a clear headspace — so not necessarily when you're in the midst of a hardcore make-out and dry-humping session . Plan to hit on the following questions:Can we talk about what the risks are of us having sex?In your opinion, in what circumstances is it OK to have an abortion?Jennifer Litner, PhD, a sexologist and the founder of, notes that this conversation may be different depending on the relationship.
Or, you could simply have a frank conversation about what sexual acts you are and are not willing to do that night, with or without going into exactly why. POPSUGAR's survey found that, of the respondents who were not in a monogamous relationship, 68 percent said they'd be less likely to have casual sex given the risk of pregnancy with someone they're not committed to.
If you're having the talk with a long-term partner, you may want to go a little deeper. If you mutually agree that you're not ready to have a child and would likely seek an abortion if one of you became pregnant, the conversation shouldn't end there.

Let's talk about these Portland Trail BlazersIn an NBA season that packs 82 games into six months, it's always wise to take early results with a grain of salt — to react to what you're seeing, but not overreact to what it all might mean in the grand scheme of things. With one month down, though, those small samples are starting to get larger … and as we near the quarter pole of the 2022-23 campaign, it doesn't seem like much of an overreaction to think that the Trail Blazers might just be for real.
