A frantic friend of mine wants to know:

She had unprotected sex about two days before the start of her period. She hasn't actually missed a period yet, but I told her I'd ask this fabulous community. The guy never came inside her. What do you think the odds are? I've tried assuring her but she won't listen to me.

(frozen) Safe Space Warning

Hi, [livejournal.com profile] brightflight. I'm writing on behalf of the VP Team to express concern that the attitude and/or wording above do not foster what we consider safe space (http://www.vaginapagina.com/index.php?title=VaginaPagina_FAQ#What_is_.22Safe_Space.22.3F_What_does_.22empowerment.22_mean.3F) in this community.

Telling another member that her post is "an extremely unintelligent way of approaching the subject" is extremely disrespectful. VP exists to provide accurate, factual information -- much of it comes from the medical texts, reference books, and reputable websites you mention, and all of it is evaluated not only by VP's maintainers but by the community as a whole.

While the OP and her friend may wish to seek additional sources of information, there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking questions such as this one in VP, and suggesting that a question is wrong or foolish is both disrespectful and disempowering.

Please consider this a warning as well as a friendly reminder to take this opportunity to review VP's policies. You can find more information on safe space (http://www.vaginapagina.com/index.php?title=VaginaPagina_FAQ#What_is_.22Safe_Space.22.3F_What_does_.22empowerment.22_mean.3F) in our FAQ (http://www.vaginapagina.com/index.php?title=VaginaPagina_FAQ), as linked here:

--What are VP's rules? (http://www.vaginapagina.com/index.php?title=VaginaPagina_FAQ#What_are_the_rules.3F)
--What is "safe space"? What does "empowerment" mean? (http://www.vaginapagina.com/index.php?title=VaginaPagina_FAQ#What_is_.22Safe_Space.22.3F_What_does_.22empowerment.22_mean.3F)

You are more than welcome to make a post over in [livejournal.com profile] contact_vp or to contact us via email (http://www.vaginapagina.com/contact.php) if you'd like to talk more about this matter or clarify any points; we only ask that you refrain from commenting further here out of respect for the OP. For that reason, replies to this thread will be frozen.
