What Is LADYist?

()
Are you a woman who wishes "the talk" had covered a few more things? LADYist is here to fill the gaps in your sex education. It's sex ed for grown women.
Our authors will update you on a monthly cycle:
- Michelle Faust weighs in at the time we'll call ovulation (early in the month)
- Lita Martinez drops more information during menstruation (two weeks later)
We're here to take the shame out of asking questions that no one has ever taken the time to explain to you. Do you want to know more about how your vagina works? Or about anything that comes out of it?
From breast health, to hormones, to your monthlies, to sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy, if it's related to female reproductive health, we're here to break it down. (We're also here to look at anything else important to women's health.)

There are 5.2 million girls and women in L.A. County alone. Each of us could use a little help staying healthy. So let's work together. Send us your questions. We'll be happy to investigate them.
You made it! Congrats, you read the entire story, you gorgeous human. This story was made possible by generous people like you. Independent, local journalism costs $$$$$. And now that LAist is part of KPCC, we rely on that support. So if you aren't already, be one of us! Help us help you live your best life in Southern California. Donate now.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.

Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
