Disabled people are not going to all agree on everything, especially when they are pretty diverse. Some will like gen ai, and some will not.

I'm using [email protected] and can see the pinned post. I can also see it via browser, both normally and with tesseract.

Ok so let's talk about conception briefly. You cannot physically remove the sperm from a female's reproductive parts (fallopian tubes) after ejaculation in an attempt to prevent pregnancy. Sperm travels very fast. Douching does not prevent pregnancy and can even push sperm further into the uterus. Hormonal birth control can prevent ovulation and thicken the cervical mucus to prevent pregnancy (sperm has to enter the cervix to get to the fallopian tubes). Condoms should be self-explanatory as a physical barrier.

Sorry if you meant this as a joke because I am going to take this literally (lol) but yes semen can impregnate people with uteruses but this can be mitigated with birth control. Oral birth control pills, IUD, arm implant, depo shot, etc. I have never had a pregnancy scare or unexpected pregnancy (nulliparous). Some people are into breeding fetishes or quiverfull, but I'm more of "I'll have one kid in the future, maybe."

At that point, condoms are probably better. It's easy cleanup and you don't have to deal with semen.

I think the disconnect here is that washing your hair usually doesn't lead to health problems the way washing a vagina does (douching even with water causes pelvic inflammatory disease, for example). It is your choice, I just wanted to provide information about vaginal health because this mentality sounds like it comes from shame rather than any health reason. It's not nasty (again, shame), vaginas do have smells like when you're on your period. Mine only smelled weird with one partner, and even then I've never had a smell for very long unless there was an actual infection going on. Smells are usually no big deal, assuming there isn't an infection. I know you mentioned it smelling "rank" before, I think you might benefit from visiting a gynecologist. Again, no shame, vaginas are a normal part of life for some of the population.

I understand you might feel self-conscious about after unprotected sex if it causes a smell, but it is not good practice to rinse your vagina with water, vulva is ok but not vaginas. Vaginas are self cleaning, semen is taken out with vaginal discharge.

Vulvas can be washed with water and unscented, mild soap if tolerated but not vaginas, they are self-cleaning.
