Hey Cadelle!

So I hate using the term PSA, but I guess, when the shoe fits...

I'd just like to remind everyone that if you ever are in need of medical attention, or advice, or anything related to your health, a clinic is open every day at the hospital. You don't need insurance, or an appointment (although you can make one), and it doesn't need to be an emergency, either.

Also, on a related note, boys and girls: the clinic does offer free contraceptives, and I urge you to use them if you are sexually active! Condoms are your friends. Even if you're on the pill, it doesn't protect you from STDs!

However, we also offer Plan B for free, in case of emergency, or an error in judgment. And I'm always happy to discuss other contraceptives with you, should you want to.

That's it! Have fun, everyone, but be responsible!

[ Alllllll right. Let's do this, then - Sansa isn't her first to not know anything about safe sex. ]

mainly, this is about safe sex. Pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases can be prevented by using condoms. And if you are having sex, you should be protected.

[theladyofwinterfell]

I am not laying with anyone. I'm not married right now, I don't have to.

[nursetemple]

[ Eek. ]

Okay. Well - if you ever decide to do so, married or not,
just know that there are multiple ways to prevent pregnancies, and diseases.

would you mind if I asked you a personal question?

[theladyofwinterfell]

I suppose the nature of these things is naturally personal. I don't mind answering a question.

[nursetemple]

okay
I'm reading between the lines of your earlier message, here, so correct me if I'm wrong, but -from what I gather you consider sex to be a marriage duty, right? and you've had to do it before, and disliked it?

[ The I don't have to was a pretty big clue. ]

[theladyofwinterfell]

Yes, it is a duty of marriage and a particularly distasteful one in the form I had to endure it in.

[nursetemple]

I am extremely sorry for what's happened to you.

I'd like you to know that here, in this place, even if you do get married, you don't *have* to have sex if you don't want to. There is no duty attached to it, here, and your body is entirely your own, and you can do with it as you please. No one can take that from you.

You may be relieved to know that forcing anyone into sexual acts is entirely illegal, here.

[theladyofwinterfell]

One of the reasons I feel comfortable and safe here is that I know the law protects me. The law protected me in Westeros, too, but I sense that it is different here, isn't it? That there will be some sort of physical restraint to prevent it from happening?

[nursetemple]

I'm pretty sure if anything like this happens here, this person will get kicked out of Cadelle entirely.

[theladyofwinterfell]

I don’t think Baby would force me. He has promised to respect me and I believe that.

[nursetemple]

oh, so you're seeing someone? I'd encourage communication.If you don't ever plan on having sex with him, he probably needs to know.

[theladyofwinterfell]

He's different than my husband was.
I don't think he'd force me. I just don't want him to - perhaps a conversation is in order.

[nursetemple]

I'd hope that someone that was allowed in Cadelle wouldn't be a rapist. But if you're not planning on having sex with him, he deserves to know. Not that many men are willing to become abstinent, even for love.

[ She feels terrible saying that, because the girl should protect herself first and foremost. But it's the truth. ]

[theladyofwinterfell]

I know. He'll not want me any longer if I don't but he deserves to have the conversation all the same.
It's only fair to him to discuss it even if it means I'll lose him. I do thank you for your help, Claire. I don't intend to be so maudlin.

[nursetemple]

I genuinely hope that things work out, with your boyfriend. He might be more understanding than I give him credit for.
