what positoins can i have sex? (link)
This is a great site for sex info:
http://www.sexdictionary.info/sexpositions.html


im not really hairy....but whenever i shave my armpits, theres still little, little black shadow

i want it jsut to look like theres absolutly NO HAIR under my arms and its all just normal skin...

how can i do that?

is there any way to shave it differently or hold my arm when doing it? (link)
Alternatively, you could try waxing. It's possible that the part of the hair that remains under the surface gives that '5 o'clock shade' look. Another possibility is that your skin is just naturally darker under your arms, like mine (I tried both, shaving and waxing.)


im 16/f & ive had sex twice,& i didn't bleed. how can i tell if my cherry/hymen is already popped?? where is it anyway?? any websites or anything would be great. thanks :] (link)
A great site, there you'll find all information you need :)

Ok, I heard that a guy's ejaculate is supposed to taste a bit like tears. Then what is the analogy for a girl's ummmm... pussy? (for lack of a better word) What is it supposed to taste like?

Only for people who have tasted one.... lol.

Lemonade!



okay. me and this kid have a history. we've dated on and off. but he's the only guy im fully comfortable with.

he asked me if id have sex with him.
and i want to .. bad.

but at the same time. this is gonna seem weird. but i get really bad ingrown hairs and their red and gross. i dont want him to think i have some weird disguisting disease .. i'm not sure how to go about it. i've avoided all stuff like this so i dont have to tell anyone. its embarassing and ugly.

so its either dont do stuff. or do it like udner blankets wit the lights off. i dont know .. (link)
Razor bumps are hard to prevent, they are almost inevitable when you shave if you have sensitive skin (and skin in that region is more than sensitive.) Try not to shave daily, because that irritates your skin. But here's something that will help you short term - before you meet with this guy, apply Visine eye drops to razor bumps. They will disappear in about five minutes. It's harmless, and it helps.

However, if I were you I'd really consider waxing instead of shaving. The reason why we shave our pubic region is because we want it to look good, and if it doesn't look good, we should try something else. If waxing isn't an option for you, let the hair grow and trim it short. Shortly trimmed pubic hair looks decent and isn't something you would want to hide by turning off the lights when you're making love. DON'T continue doing something that makes you feel self-conscious about your body.


just a concern.i've just noticed that wenevr i get fingered i bleed a little...it does not hurt i just see a little blood. i've only been fingered 3times...the 1st time i bled a little and the the 2nd time i didnt at firts but after my boyfriend and i stopped i noticed some blood on his fingers. the same thing happend the 3rd time. is something wrong? i am 17 years old. (link)
You're not losing your virginity, your hymen is being stretched. There is a difference, mind you. Stretching can cause minor tears which bleed. The same thing can happen from intercourse, some girls' hymens won't tear completely the first time, maybe not even the second or third time, but there will be a little bleeding from these minor tears caused by stretching. And some hymens won't tear completely at all, if they're elastic enough.

It's good that you've tried fingering before having intercourse, that's one of the ways to make your first time truly enjoyable for both of you.


What happens if your partner's penis is too large for your vagina? Is there anything you can do to prevent this? (link)
I assume you're worried about the girth of your bf's penis, since almost every vagina can accomodate very long penises. If his girth is really impressive, say more than 4 inches, there are some things you can do to make your first time more enjoyable:

1) Use A LOT of water based or silicon based lube.

2) Stretch your vagina by fingering at least a couple of times before you try intercourse. If your partner's penis is normal size, penetration won't hurt if you're able to insert two fingers into your vagina without feeling discomfort. If his penis is really bigger than average, using a small dildo would be best - choose one smaller than your bf's penis. Both fingering and penetration with a dildo can be very enjoyable activities you can try with your partner or alone.

If you take time and use gradual approach - first inserting one finger, then two, then a small dildo, with a lot of lube every time, your hymen won't tear, it will just stretch. (But keep in mind that the presence of hymen doesn't mean that a girl is a virgin - some hymens are so elastic that they just stretch, they don't tear even from intercourse, so women have them until childbirth. On the other hand, some virgins have torn hymens or they don't have them at all - a girl is a virgin until she has had sexual intercourse, i.e. until a penis penetrates her vagina.)

3) Make sure you're VERY aroused before you try any kind of penetration. Not just because your vaginal wall will be wet and therefore more elastic, but also because your pain threshold will be higher.

IMPORTANT: I am not saying that your first time will inevitably hurt, I am talking about extreme cases of penile thickness - I wasn't a virgin when I had sex with a guy whose girth was 5.9", but it hurt.

4) Repeat the same process before you have intercourse again, because it takes time until your vagina can stretch enough to accomodate your partner's penis, one intercourse is not enough.

5) Last, but MOST IMPORTANT - have fun, be relaxed, and enjoy yourself :)


ok so i was having sex with my boyfriend and i was already having an amazing orgasm but then we both thought it would be fun to add my back massager into the mix, when he put it on my clit i squirted so hard it was like i peed. was it pee or was it vaginal fluid...it shot out of my body as if i had been tickled too much and pissed my pants but it didnt feel like it came from my urethra. so what was it? (link)
When you ejaculate, that fluid comes from your urethra, but it's different from urine, it has different smell and colour etc. I suggest you visit this site for more information:

well i have a bump on my vagina that kinda hurts wat could it be
fyi: i never have sex b4 (link)
By vagina do you mean the part where pubic hair grows (vulva), or vaginal opening? If it's vulva, it's probably just ingrown hair. However, keep in mind that some STIs can be transmitted through sexual activities other than intercourse. You can get genital warts if an infected person fingers you or if you touch their genitals. (Your partner can be infected even if there are no external signs of it, so they may not even know it.)


okay, well know how on mypsace people have those pictures in their about me section, or where ever? well, i want to do that with one of my pictures,but i dont what people to be able to "copy" it. you know? like right click and then copy it to paint. so, my question is how do i make it so no one can copy my picture at all? like its not possible,theres a sheild or whatever? whats the code? thanks so much! (link)
Even when photos are protected so that you cannot right click/copy them, people can use simple applications to take the snapshot of the whole screen, which they can crop then so they have your photo.


I was wondering if there was a documentory (preferabley actual footage) of the prison simulation conducted by zimbardo in 1971. I'd really like to see it! (link)
Yes there is, but it's pricey

im a female. and i cannot orgasm. like masturbate. but i have had an orgasm, from a guy. but never by myself. is this because a guy can only achieve this for me? or cause his fingers are longer perhaps? or am i "sexually repressed"? (link)
Try to do exactly what the guy did. Did he stimulate your G-spot? I don't know what your masturbation technique is, but some girls can't orgasm from clitoral stimulation alone. It is likely that you need your G-spot stimulated too. It is placed close to the vaginal opening, so you will be able to reach it if your fingers are normal length (by normal I mean longer than 2") For more information I suggest you visit this site http://www.the-clitoris.com/f_html/anat_indx.htm


Hello ,

Okay lets say you have it with a guy and he has a condum on will it break ? Is it more likely to get pregnanat? Is it safe if the guy wears a condum cuz if anything happens i rele dont want to get preganant.

Thanks ,
Betty. (link)
Condom is pretty safe, if used properly. It means that it should be stored in a cold place, and used before its expiration date. Be careful not to scratch it when putting it on, and use water based lube like KY jelly because condoms are more likely to break when there isn't enough lubrication.

If it does break, go to your doctor as soon as possible (or you could go to your local Planned Parenthood) so you get prescribed the morning after pill.


Hello ,

Does it really matter to the guy about the breast or does it matter if the girls lower area is hairy? Because my friend said it does and im just wondering.

Thank you :)
Betty (link)
Some guys like big breasts, some prefer really small ones. On average, they like medium sized breasts (by this I mean B or C). The same goes for pubic hair, it depends on the guy. Some guys will find it weird and ugly if that area is shaved, but some won't like any pubic hair at all. On average most guys will be happy with nicely trimmed pubic hair (for example half an inch long).


Hello ,
I'm just wondering what do you think true love really is ?
Thank you ,
Betty. (link)
True love is when you would never consciously do anything to hurt the person you love and you would rather suffer yourself. It's when you tell your partner they're great and beautiful even when you see all their flaws compared to people greater and more beautiful then them, but you want to make them more self-confident. And you would always choose them over all those greater and more beautiful people! It's when the most important thing in your life is for the person you love to be happy.


This might be long. Bear with me, please.

All the time I read questions about your best friend having feelings for you and you not knowing what to do. I just gave a whatever answer. Now I'm in the same situation and I guess I know how those people felt when they came here to ask their questions...

I'm 18/f. I've known my best friend (17/f) for about 2.5 years. Friends haven't lasted for longer than a year with me since I move a lot with my family, so this is just wow for me. We've been through everything together. We hang out a lot and most of the time, we talk about homosexuality and all that. She's never had a bf before, so she thinks she's better of being a lesbo or a bi. I have a bf (for a year now) but I still joked around saying that I'd like to try it with a 'she' one day.

One day, my bf called me and said that he thinks that my best friend is his 'competition'. I was like, wtf...Anyway. And I never really knew why my best friend hated my bf.

So on Friday, me and my best friend went out and we had something to 'drink'. I had 2 sips even though I'm addicted to alcohol like hell. She had way too much to drink, and she drank fast. She got drunk and I had to drive her home with her car, blah blah. We got home, and she was all giggly and dizzy and she threw up 4 times. I was with her through this whole thing, helping her, bringing her water to wash her face, etc. Now, they say that drunk people speak 100% truth when they're totally wasted. So after she finished puking, she closed her eyes and said "I love you". I sensed a different tone in her face - not a drunk one, but a really innocent honest one. I told her "No, I'm your best friend". She opened her eyes, looked at me and said "No, I love you". At that point I broke down and started crying, I dunno why...

I'm really confused because I think I might have feelings for her too. Next morning, she woke up and told me she didn't remember anything after she got home. I told her what happened, but I didn't tell her about her 'confession'. I don't think I want to. But that's not fair for her...also, I don't want her to think I'm abusing her or her decision of being a lesbo or bi and 'trying' it with her just because she's the only one available.

Keep in mind that i have a boyfriend who i'm in love with so much. He jokes saying "if you're gonna kiss a girl, make sure you do it in front of me" and stuff but I know he'd be so heartbroken. I need help. How do I confront her? I'm scared to face my best friend. I haven't seen or talked to her since Friday. And it's summer and the schools are over and she expects to hang out with me like ... everyday!

She's a great person but I don't want our friendship to be ruined...should I just wait till she tells me about it when she's not drunk next time and not tell her anything at all or ... should I forget it happened?

Thanks in advance even if you're one of those people who read the questions but don't answer. (link)
Your friend is single and you're the closest person she has in her life. You've been through so many things together, you can talk about everything, and naturally she started having feelings for you. For most people it's hard being single, and she is probably yearning for a romantic relationship.

The good thing here is that she doesn't EXPECT you to fill that place in her life, and by all means don't give her hope unless you really feel the same about her! This is what you have to ask yourself - who do you want to be with, her or your boyfriend? I assume your answer will be 'boyfriend', so the best thing to do is let your best friend stay exactly what she is, your best friend.

I don't think you have to confront her about what she said. While it helps sometimes, there are situations where it would cause more damage than good. You already know deep in your heart that she meant what she said, and you know it's not her fault. Neither of you did anything shameful. But it's necessary that you make it clear you're in love with your boyfriend and you're not going to become romantically or sexually involved with her. So no more 'I'd like to try it with a girl' statements, because she will read into it more than you would want her to. I'm all for experimentation, but breaking your boyfriend's heart and losing your best friend aren't worth it!

If you want to talk more about it, feel free to message me at any time :)

Love,

Agnes


14 f

my boyfriendd really wants to finger me. neither of us have before .. ive givenn a hj hes gotten one and then hooking up and all that junkk.. but i don't know what to expectt on this one. like what am i supposed to do? how much is it going to hurt? what happenss if/when like he pops my cherry or something lol idk i feel raelly stupid asking this but i dont knoww anything about this. im kinda scared but i lovee him and im ready to move onn . help! xo (link)
You're scared because you think he is going to insert finger(s) into your vagina and that it's going to hurt. So it's important that you don't rush things. Here are some ideas how to avoid any discomfort:

1) You'll feel more relaxed if you're in control. So ask him to gently rub your clitoris, and insert his finger ONLY IF/WHEN you ask him to (technically, it's still fingering even if clitoral massage is all he does). It's extremely important that you get aroused first by clitoral stimulation, because thet way your vaginal wall won't be dry, and inserting fingers won't hurt. Just to be sure, let his fingers be moistened with saliva or KY jelly. And make sure he washes his hands before he touches your nether regions! ;)

2) It will be most helpful if you masturbate by yourself first. That will help you know how you like to be touched and what can make you orgasm. Many girls don't know how to touch their clitoris, and most boys (even older guys) are absolutely clueless! So knowing how to do it yourself will enable you to communicate your likes and dislikes to your boyfriend.

3) A girl is a virgin until she has intercourse, which means until a guy's penis enters her vagina. So don't be afraid to explore your body. Feel free to insert a (lubricated!) finger into your vagina. When one finger feels comfortable, insert two. All this will help you feel less stressed out when your boyfriend does the same thing. The rule of the thumb is, before you try intercourse, you should be able to insert two (lubricated!) fingers into your vagina without any discomfort. You get there by practising.

Enjoy experimenting, and feel free to ask if I wasn't clear about something in this answer! :)

Love

Agnes


I'm a 16-year old, junior girl, and I'm dating this 18-year old, senior guy who I recently met. We first went out about two weeks ago, and we've been on 4 (I think) dates altogether. We are "officially dating", and so far we've made out with some upper-body fondling and a bit of dry-humping. I've had some sexual experiences, but I'm still officially a virgin. He seems to know what he's doing, but it seems like it's usually a "taboo" to ask someone if they're a virgin, or how many people they've slept with. I know that he wants to take it further into lower-body fondling, and that's fine with me, but I think that gives me the right to know if there are any potential things I should be concerned about, like STDs and such.

Basic question: How long should I wait before asking him, and how should I ask him if and how many girls he has slept with before? (link)
You might want to initiate this conversation when you feel you're ready to engage in more serious sexual activities with him. The moment when that will happen entirely depends on you - the only rule is that if you don't feel comfortable talking about sex with your boyfriend, then you're not ready to have sex with him and you should wait until you know him better. Don't ask him how many girls he has slept with, as he may be embarrassed if it "wasn't enough" by other boys' standards (ego thing). A convenient way to start this conversation is to tell him that you like him and that you would like to try more things with him. Do it in a quiet place, sit next to him and maintain physical contact. If his reaction is positive, just tell him that you'd be more relaxed if you were sure that there is no risk of STDs, or whatever worries you, that it's the reason why you would like to know if he has had previous sexual experiences and if he has, has he been tested for STDs.

You should let him know that you are a virgin (in case he feels that it's a taboo to ask that too), because it's important for him to know that before you take your relationship further.

Happy communication!


how do i get people to answer my questions i gave out so much advice and no is has answered my qeustion and its been on hear for five days (link)
It's hard for me to focus on a long text without any punctuation. I suppose many other people can't do it either and that's why they don't answer it. It looks like one big sentence to me and I can't understand it. I tried reading your first question again, and I failed. Sorry :(

If you want to have your question answered for sure, pick a columnist that you like and you believe their judgement, and inbox them. I think everyone will take time to answer questions directed at them personally.
