Sexual Health: Why I Care

I was fortunate enough to attend an RH forum last month, a joint venture of Sex and Sensibilities, Mulat Pinoy, and Young Public Servants at the Filipinas Heritage Library in Makati. The forum was a four-part which focused on the hottest topics of sexual health today: teenage pregnancy, LGBT and HIV/AIDS, men's involvement and parental guidance in safe sex and sexual health. Overall, it was an awesome event. I learned a lot, and it makes me look forward to other similar events I can attend.




This post isn't really to talk about that event, though: it's more of an answer to the theme.


Why do I care about sexual health? 

1. Because of definitions

The World Health Organization describes sexual health as "a state of physical, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality. It requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence."

It isn't just about avoiding the cringe-worthy wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am, successfully giving head, or finding the elusive G.


At the end of the day, caring about sexual health means caring about my health holistically.

2. Because, regardless of how residents of the Idiot Society see it, cover it, and be ashamed of it, we are born with either a vagina or a penis. Babies have one of them. I have one of them. You have one of them. Religious individuals preaching about the commandments and tenets of their beliefs have them. And we're damned screwed if we don't know how to take care of it (pun unintended). 

Sexual Health isn't just about the proper use of condoms. 
Contrary to popular belief, it's also about how 
sexy abstinence can be. Safe sex IS sexy sex!

Some stats:

• According to the UNFPA, teenage pregnancy  the number of teenage pregnancies rose 70 percent, from 114,205 in 1999 to 195,662 in 2009. 
• UNFPA's 2011 report states that at 53 births per 1,000 women aged between 15 and 19, the teenage pregnancy rate in the Philippines is the highest among Asean's six major economies.
• Just this June, 295 new cases of HIV was reported, with 16 AIDS cases. The June stats is 66% higher than case numbers in the same period last year. Sexual contact, particularly MSM or men having sex with men, remains to be the predominant mode of transmission.
• The Philippines is only 1 out of the remaining 7 countries in the world with increasing HIV infections.

Reality check: sans creative positions, porn is NOT the best way to educate hormonal teenage kids about sex. Boyfriends and girlfriends are even worse teachers. Parents are still the best when it comes to guiding people about the birds and the bees. A close second are health care professionals and educators. People's concern about sexual health, and the ability and willingness to share it to the younger generation is essential, especially if we want to do something with the stats above. After all, knowledge about healthy sexual relationships and how our bodies function is the front line preventive management for Sexually Transmitted Infection (STIs) including HIV/AIDS, teenage pregnancy, and sexual abuse. 

3. Because we need to know how to address our (future) 6-year-old kid if we ever catch him/her playing with his or her genitals, and not confuse an entire future generation by referring to these genitals as "birdies" and "flowers".

I'm sorry to shock everyone with that statement, but, YES, kids as young as 6 years old do have tendencies to masturbate. However, unlike us hormone-driven adults, they do so without malice; they do it because they find it pleasurable, just like sucking and nibbling makes babies happy (check out Freud's psychosexual theory). The problem is, a typical ultra-conservative parent would probably half-faint, shriek at the child's supposed promiscuity and scream threats like, "mapuputol kamay mo sa pinaggagawa moooo!!!" Translation: "your hand will fall off because of what you are doing," and yes, with THAT much exclamation points in the end.

Apathy (or even distress) directed  to the discussion of sexual health and sexuality is the primary cause of why people still wince or cringe or stupidly grin upon hearing Parokya ni Edgar sing, "Don't touch my birdiiiieee!". How hard is it to say penis or vagina?

A bit of psychiatric nursing for you: if you do catch a kid playing with his or her nether regions, kindly DO NOT freak out and scare the heck out of them. Instead, calmly ask him what his feelings are regarding what he his doing, then emphasize that it is not wrong to want to touch himself (because, seriously, has there ever been studies supporting that moderate masturbation is bad for you?). BUT: this act must be done in private. 

This little bit of psychological treatment does wonders: one day kids will not look at sex as something taboo or evil, but something to be smart about.

4. Because we can never separate ourselves, our being, our personality, and our choices with our sexuality.

Whatever we do, and whatever we choose to be, we are bounded to our bodies (at least, until we die), and we can never be truly complete without our sexuality.#

Kalerking Beki Itech

Warning: Kabaklaan to the max, teh!

Beki. A man who wants another man. A man who’s willing to marry another man. In the eyes of the Idiot Society, the primary target of god’s wrath in the form of AIDS. Comedy bar staple. Laughing stock. Beauticians. Someone whacked ‘round the head and put as romantic-comic relief opposite to the likes of Vic Sotto and Aga Mulach (oh, media). Curse to a homophobic society. Gay. Queer. Bakla.

I freaking love them. And the many idiots in the world think that they are only good for making us cry while giggling our heads off and curling our hair (they are good at that, but if you haven’t noticed, they are good at other stuff too?).

We always slide back to the myopic outlook that gays are just gays and they can never be more than that - which, just like all myopic outlooks in life, turns out to be grave idiocy.

I have heard one politician say that the ongoing discrimination against gays is due to their reputation as laughing stocks. (Seriously media, must they have this role almost all the freaking time?) So they look stupid and silly and not to be taken seriously.

And because this way of thinking annoys me, I have decided to feature some of my most respected people who are proud of their bekihood and to see what are their takes on some pressing issues on sexual health, discrimination, and all stuff concerning LGBT.

Readers of Codswallop, it is my pleasure to present, Mr. Mark  Donald Renosa.

One of my kaututang dila sa Facebook, and ex-workmate (I have moved on from my previous employer, thank you very much) Mark is the epitome of kabaklaan. Yes, he and I would have long, insanely funny conversations about sex that would send me giggling like a schoolgirl, and sometimes the guy would comment on my make-up. But I have also experienced speaking to him about my concern about the increasing HIV stats, and my very blatant opposition to victim blaming in rape cases. It was, to be honest, quite arousing, and people know how much a sucker I am for neuron orgasm. (Plasil, Mark?)

Quick Bio: Mark Donald Renosa is graduate of St. Paul University, finishing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. There, he was the recipient of many awards: Primary Health Care Award (gold, medal), Socio-cultural Award, Departmental Leadership (bronze  medal) and the Journalism Award (gold  medal). He took his Masters of Science in Nursing major in Adult Nursing at the University of St. Louis. Always a fan of continuing education , he is now pursuing his Doctor of Nursing Science at St. Paul U.

Also an advocate, Mark has been involved in several medical missions and relief operations, acting as a nurse educator to several typhoon-affected areas. He has continuously pushed for gender equality, eradication of hunger, poverty, and HIV/AIDS. He is the Board of Director and elected as the Vice Chairman for Administration and Finance of the Informatics Nurses Society of the Philippines and the Research Consultant of Own Wellness Research Center in Manila focusing on producing complementary and alternative medicine. 

Mark Renosa, super secret identity of Nurse Batman, works for the RITM
as a Clinic Research Nurse. He is also a national reviewer for the Nursing
Licensure Exam. 

Obviously, the credentials are yummy.  

Codswallop: How do you think society stereotypes gays?

Mark Renosa:  Ang society kasi matalino. Perpekto, sa sobrang linis pedeng ng i-alay sa Bulkang Mayon. Natatawa nga ako minsan, iniisip nila… kapag bakla? SALOT na agad? Hindi ba pwedeng, Nurse, Doctor, Attorney muna? Teka lang naman, naisip ba ninyo na, nagbabayad din kami ng buwis? Para may ipakain sa PILIPINAS at kurakutin ng mga politiko. Mag-isip isip din. We deserve equal rights.

Hindi lang po kami… Stand-up comedienne (I tell you, it takes intelligence para magpatawa ng tao.) at mang-kukulot (aba! Kung walang baklang mag-aayos sa mga mukang palakang STRAIGHT kuno, magiging masaya at maganda ba ang mundo?).

It matters with the bitterness of reality that we really need to make something for a living and it’s the main reason why these gays strive hard by every means to gain this kind of work para may ipakain sila sa pamilyang nagugutom. Respect is the key.  Kesa naman mag-tulak ng droga diba?

Codswallop: How do you define "being gay"?

I believe I have already reached the point where I see true beauty in Gay-ness. Where I no longer care of some people’s insensitive remarks. It is my way of life. I am happy. Do you have problem with that? J

Codswallop: Waley teh, you know I love gays.  Could you talk about recent issues regarding how LGBTs are treated in the country? Let’s start with Pacman's Bible quoting argument against gay marriage.

         

Mark: It pissed me. Eh kung magtrabaho ka, gumawa ng batas, kesa bumurgis-burgis ka ng kung anu-ano. Di natuwa pa sana Pilipinas. Nag-react ba kami ng may mga unfaithfulness issue ka? So don’t discuss about morality and GOD. Pareho-pareho lang tayong madudumi sa MATA NG SOCIETY. Who’s to say you are in the RIGHT world anyway? Apology accepted but that doesn’t mean OKEY na tayo PACMAN. End of conversation. J

Codswallop: And what do you say about Miriam Quiambao's anti-homosexuality tweet?

Mark:  Ayoko siyang pag-usapan. Wala akong pakialam sa kanya. Kung ayaw niya ang pagiging bading. Nirerespeto ko siya. AYOKO DIN SA KANYA! Ayokong mahulog siya ulit. Masakit yun. Period.

Codswallop: Here’s a good one that affects more than the LGBT community, but also people on all age groups: Ultra-conservative groups barring the passage of the RH Bill.

Mark: Oh di sila na ang conservative. Nakakahiya naman sa kanila. Basta ako gusto kong isigaw ang VAGINA at PENIS with feelings. J

Codswallop: Korek ka jan. Va-gi-nuh! What about movements against the inclusion of LGBT rights in the Anti-Discrimination Bill?

Mark: We are paying taxes so I demand respect and equality. J

Codswallop: And if you were to have your "famous last words" to uphold the dignity of the LGBT community, what would they be?

Mark: Aba! Makibeki wag mashokot! Kidding aside, continue to spread your spirit. Basta Masaya ka at wala kang inaapakang tao… ipagpatuloy mo yan. Basta mahal mo yang ginagawa mo… ipagpatuloy mo yan. Mahal ka ng Dyos… kaya ipagpatuloy mo yan. Madapa ka man minsan… bumangon ka… at ipagpatuloy mo yan. Tumawa ka ng tumawa.. ipagpatuloy mo yan. Magpasaya ka.. ipagpatuloy mo yan. Lahat ng bagay sa mundo na alam mong tama… ipagpatuloy mo yan. Basta at the end of the day, uuwi ka at matutulog kang Masaya at magiging eggzited sa pagbangon kinabukasan, aba’y karapat-dapat kang mabuhay… ipagpatuloy mo yan. Mabuhay at kulayan ang mundo…ipagpapatuloy natin ito! J 

A beki to be taken seriously, a beki that shatters presumptive stereotypes. We have so many of them in the country, contributing to the betterment of our world one nakakalerking step at a time.

Mark Donald Renosa is just one of them. Official beki and damn proud: “I am Gay. Bisexual. Bayot. Bading. Bakla. Shokla. Salot (as the society shouts.) But I am a person, made by God and definitely not a liability to the society. I am changing the world to make it less difficult. Bakla ako, and I mean it. J”#

What Advocacy Taught Me

There are many misconceptions about advocates. Kesho, aktibista daw kame (partially true), mahilig daw kame magrally (it’s kind of fun, actually), marami daw kameng pera at sikat (paminsan-minsan, oo, sikat, but mapera? Where the heck did that come from?).

There are a lot of myths and misconceptions about us, and about the definition of advocacy, so let me define that last bit for you:

Advocacy is waking up at 4AM in the morning, taking and paying for a cab so you can get to a meeting place on time, and using your brains and your hands to actually accomplish something for what you believe in – despite coming and being at work (that actually pays you) until 9 in the evening.

Advocacy is rushing through flooded streets, amidst rain, and despite pissed off parents to the most important event of your organization.

But that’s okay. In my short time as an advocate (I’ve only pursued it for a little over a year), I’ve come to feel that, for someone like me who doesn’t have a lot of money, and who’s not necessarily the best in my field, there is still so much to do.

 In advocacy, I found selfless purpose.

Advocacy is also a lot of work– so much work that you barely have time to catch your breath – but there is also so many things learn. And here are some of the stuff I picked up along the way.

That, damn it, my parents were right all along!

They said I can be a nurse AND whatever else I want to be (which is to write and share my thoughts, to make use of my considerable English skills, and to be a modern Gabriela Silang for women everywhere!). Well, here I am: nurse advocate, English educator, and self-proclaimed revolutionary heroine for women (operative word is "self-proclaimed")

         That hating my course is stupid.

If you’ve read my post A Change of Heart, you’ll know that I wasn’t much of an enthusiast for my degree before, and I used to have a “who the hell cares” attitude toward whoever I thought was stupid enough to pursue the same path as I did. Hell, I didn't want to be a doctor's servant! I didn't know nurses are NEVER that; I didn't know that we can be leaders, educators, change makers.

But being an advocate, and being able to meet all the amazing nurses that broke the barriers of definition, has given me more than enough insight to come to respect the people in my profession.

         That fighting for what you believe in is more effective as a group.

I’ve learned how to network, to talk to different people, and to come out of my shell as a schizoid chick and mingle. I’m quite glad to be part of the Alliance of Young Nurse Leaders and Advocates, who, more than colleagues, turned out to be really cool people to hang out with. I’m more confident in going all revolutionary and blatant in saying what I want to say, simply because I know they’ve got my back.

Tip! If you’re really an advocate, my friend, then KNOW that you won’t succeed alone.

       That we can teach how to put on a condom and how to use pills, be funny about it, but not  break down to hysterical fits of maniacal laughter.

For demonstrations and/or advice for contraceptive use, kindly leave a message.

That advocacy is fun.

It’s certainly no-nonsense, but working with like-minded people, enriching yourself as a person, and the just the thought of being able to do something that is selfless are a different kind of high.

       That I have the capacity to be so much more than I am.

Because you can never be an advocate if you succumb to weakness and mediocrity. Only those who can rise about their own expectations and perceived limits can truly speak for others.

What about you? What have you learned from advocacy?#

So You Like Purple?

I must have gone crazy at some point today, because I am writing this.

This one’s done by request – my very first (and probably the last?) make-up tutorial. Yep, you've read it right. This post is about make-up. I’m not much of a fashion/beauty blogger, but I was chatting with a couple of kikay girls (my babe Tina Siuagan, who is a model, and make-up guru Jessa Magcaling) last night and I thought this would be a cool thing to do for them (so they can laugh at my silliness!).

So, before I lose the courage to post something as insane as my own make-up tutorial in my blog, I’ll start telling you the step-by-step process of doing an elegant purple eye make-up using mostly drugstore finds. Meaning we will be using stuff you can generally find at Watsons at very reasonable prices. Here’s a list of what I’ve used. You can customize/improvise  of course! Use whatever you have in your beauty kit!


Myra E Tinted Face Moisturizer (Beige)
Mary Kay Sheer Mineral Face Powder (Beige)
Nichido eye shadow and blush compact
Cover Girl Instant Cheekbones Contouring Blush in Rose Radine
Nichido Color Eyes Mascara and Liquid Eye Liner(black)
Nichido Satin Moist Lipstick in Candy
Avon Dual Ended Lipstick+Lip Gloss in Rose Quartz and Rose Shine

The How To’s


       1. Prime your face for make-up with foundation and concealer. Hide away your dark circles, and the dark/reddish areas around the nose and the mouth. I prefer using tinted moisturizer for this, though, because it has triple purpose: it prevents my skin from getting dry, it can be applied fast, and it gives me a good base to work on.


     2. Set your base with your favorite powder. Using your brush or your sponge, lightly dab the powder all over face. I use mineral make-up for this step, because it’s water resistant, and it doesn't crease.

     3. Define your eyebrows. Since this is a day look, make sure that it’s not overwhelming. There are many ways to do this: using a chisel brush, pick up a dark brown or gray eyebrow make-up and fill-in your eyebrows; or you can use your eye pencil. Don’t color your eyebrows in! Flick the pencil lightly for a more natural look. Follow the direction of the hair. If you have unruly eyebrows, try this trick: take an old mascara that you have lying around and use the wand to comb the hairs into place.

     4. Now the lids. Using your brush, sweep the lids with a light pink or white eye shadow. This will serve as your base, and the light color will help open up your eyes. Also, dab some on your brow line to highlight the area. For this part I actually used my Cover Girl blush. (Hey, it’s pigment, you can use it any way you like!)

     5. Pick out the second darkest shade and, starting from the corners of the eyes, apply it going towards the middle. Blend it to the light pink eye shadow, and sweep some over your crease. Of This will add definition and contour to your eyes. Do this only to the outer half part of your lids. Be careful with using too much pink, though, as it might make your eyes look irritated.

     6. Take your blending brush and swipe a thin layer of gold eye shadow over the entire lid. Gold is a warm color, and it complements most skin tone.

     7. Apply your purple eye shadow to the outer V’s of the eye and sweep it into the middle. Blend it in with the gold and the pink.

     8. Dab some gold eye shadow to the middle of the eye to highlight the area.

     9. Put some white eye shadow on the inner corners of your eyes. This will open them up further and make them look less tired. I promise it makes a difference!

    10. For a pop of color, use the purple eyeshadow to line the upper and the half lower lash line. Lining the lower lash line creates balances our eye make-up. I also like to line the inner half of the lower lash line with white, just to open the eyes more.


    11.  Using your favorite liquid eyeliner, line your eyes as close to the lashes as possible and wing it. The wings will lift your eyes further. Don’t pull on your lids, though! That would cause premature lines and wrinkles. Instead, use a q-tip.

    12.   Curl your lashes to prep them for mascara. Here’s a tip if you like using water-proof mascara: these products can actually dry your lashes! After taking the make-up off, use Vaseline to restore the moisture and keep your peepers healthy.

    13.   On to the cheeks. I’m using the same blush that I used on my eyes. Take your blush brush and use it to contour your face. Sweep it in the hollows of your cheeks.

     14.   Use the white eye shadow and sweep some on the bridge of your nose and on the apples of your cheek to highlight the areas and give you a dewy look.

     15.   Moisturize your lips and put on your favorite gloss or pink lipstick to complete the look. I'm using Nichido Satin Lipstick in Candy. I blotted it then topped it off with Avon’s Rose Shine lip gloss for a light shimmer. For fuller lips, dab some white eye shadow to your cupid’s bow. 

To turn this look from day to night, simply darken the colors.

Have fun with your make-up and I hope you enjoyed that tutorial. ^_^




PS: Happy Birthday Nr. Tina Siuagan! I don't know HOW you convinced me to do this, but you did anyway. So this one's for you ^_~

Codswallop's Blog Award Nomination

If Codswallop were to be nominated for any blogging awards, I think that the best it can be nominated for being chaotic in its range of topics. You see, Codswallop doesn't have a niche, a definite faux pas to bloggers who talk of specific things. 

This baby started out as an online venting medium because I was too lazy to put my thoughts down with pencil and paper.(I preferred typing - my brain is faster than my hands, after all.) Thus, the topsy-turvy topics. One day it can be about Nursing, rape, and health care, the next, it's about how to not look like an idiot when you're pissed off. I'm even planning on putting up a make-up tutorial one of these days!

So when I got a serious, straight-face nomination for a blog award, I all but fell off the bed. 

Quoting from my idol, the great Miriam Defensor Santiago: WHAA?!

Grabbed from Tina's blog, which she grabbed from Lawrence of Colors and Greys

Lo and behold, a blog award that is actually okay with my niche-less rants!

The nomination came from the sexy owner of When Writing Means Sharing, Tina Siuagan. Seriously, the fact that she reads my stuff means so much to me that if I go on about it here, I'll probably turn this little post into a script worthy of our prime-time telenovelas! 

I am one of her fifteen (15) picks for the Versatile Blogger Award, including a few others I feel very lucky to be in the list with. 

So, here we go. As part of the mechanics, I have to write seven (7) totally random things about myself. 

1. I'm not afraid of touching giant snakes, tarantulas, and geckos, but expect me to run out of the room, screaming like a nut, regardless of whether I am decent or not, if confronted by a flying cockroach.

2. When I study (or work), the notebook I use MUST have some form of personal art in/on it. Otherwise, I don't get motivated to work.

3. I play the Rubik's cube, I have a level 40 Assassin for Diablo 2 (Expansion Pack), and Charmander is my favorite Pokemon.

4. I love arts and crafts, but the last time I seriously painted was about a year ago. I also enjoy making masks. 

5. You can feed me isaw from UP Diliman for an entire month, and I'd be happy as a chipper.

6. I think Filipino authors and literature ROCK.

7. My heart goes to to every single rape victim who has been victimized not just by their rapist but by the Idiot Society that dares to blame them. And I'm taking it as my mission to educate the  Idiot Society what the difference between a consent and a dress is.

Well, that was fun! A lot of those stuff have probably been mentioned or implied in my previous work, though.

Now comes the hard part. Who are the fifteen (15) bloggers that I really love? 

1. Yuri Baral of Yaya,Where's My Tsinelas? (http://losttsinelas.blogspot.com/)

2. Ana Santos of AnaSantosWrites (http://anasantoswrites.com/)

3. Nr. Tina Siuagan of When Writing Means Sharing (http://nursetinashares.blogspot.com/)

4. Nr. Alvin Dakis of The Nightingale Chronicles (http://nightingalechroniclesph.blogspot.com/)

5. Axle Cano of Acid Sublimations: Reality and Illusion (http://www.theunknownthreshold.blogspot.com/)

6. Karl De Mesa of Destroy Thee (http://destroythee.wordpress.com)

7. Lourd de Veyra of THIS IS A CRAZY PLANETS (http://www.spot.ph/this-is-a-crazy-planets/)

8. Grace Bondad Nicolas of Empowerment (http://empoweredgrace.blogspot.com/)

9. Irene Palma Pagaduan of Home Econanay (http://homeeconanay.blogspot.com)

10. Klitorika Isis of Klitorika (http://klitorika.blogspot.com/)

11. Carlos Celdran of The Living Room (http://thelivingroom24.blogspot.com/)

12. Michelle Phan of Michelle (http://www.michellephan.com/)

13. Ronna Ayson of Tongue Tied (http://tonguetiedblogger.blogspot.com/)

14. Aira Medina of La Vie Est Belle (http://airaevianmedina.blogspot.com/)

15. Charry Camantigue of Selective Reality (http://selective-reality.tumblr.com/)

THAT part took me hours to complete! Although some of these bloggers wouldn't really need awards, would they?

 So, if you've been featured, here's the mechanics: 

(As for the featured writers/bloggers, it's now your turn to spread the word about the Versatile Blogger Award and choose the ones you think will deserve such title. Paying this forward can be done with these simple steps:

• Thank and mention the blogger who bestowed upon you the Versatile Blogger Award by linking your blog post to his site;
• Make sure to write about seven random things you're comfortable to share with your readers; and finally,
• Give the award to 15 other bloggers you love and let them know you gave them this award by messaging, tweeting, or commenting on their pre-existing posts. 

Easy right?) 

Good luck and have fun everyone! ^_^
