My girl can't come with me or anyone. she can come on her own in a matter of minutes. I've used fingers, tougue, vibrators, and don't know how to get her there. What should we do? (link)
Hello there,

This is most likely an emotional hang-up.

It is obvious that all the parts work, since she can manage on her own.

Find out if she has been abused sexually, emotionally or physically.

A woman needs to trust you. While she may say she does, and even THINK she does, some repressed emotional damage may make it difficult for her subconscious mind to relax enough when someone else is involved.

ok im a young female...i know a lot the basics and terms about sex and whatever, and i know im not ready to do it, but i dont know like how it works. is it weird that i wana watch porn, not to get horny from it, but just to see how its done? is it wrong? dont say im too young to watch it, but its bugging me of thinking about how to do it (even though i wont for many more years). just help me please. thanks.

Hello there,

Learning sex from porn is a lot like learning romance from a soap-opera. They are both completely made-up and have nothing to do with reality.

I strongly advise you to look into more educational pursuits. The internet is loaded with info, but finding it just as you have asked it here is difficult.

Sex-ed books/videos are your best bet for learning the actual physics of sex. The act itself isn't very complicated.

Sex-ed books and books for married couples can show you how all the bits fit together, but you should be aware that 98% of the good part of sex is in your head.

There is some good info in this "first time" quiz:

http://teenadvice.about.com/library/blsextest1.htm

... I will tell you straight-out that watching porn before you understand how it is supposed to be will set you up for a lifetime of dissapointment and regret.

Sex isn't like it is in porn, and more than romances are like they are in the movies.

Look at the people around you, they act like everything works the same as their favorite filmed romances... and are crushed, over and over and over again when thing don't turn out like the movies.

Same thing.

Real life is very different.

*********EDIT**************

I went looking for a sex-ed video that didn't have a political swing to it, but just the birds and bees facts are layed out, like we got in school.

The only place that you don't have to pay, and get all the info are the sex-ed films from the past as held at archive.org

Nothing has changed since these films were made. It is amazing how honestly they just tell the facts without any social bull.

So how does sex work?

Here's one:

Another:

Another:

A few more in a list. Be careful, some stuff is bad.

http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=sex%20AND%20mediatype%3Amovies%20AND%20subject%3A%22Sex%20education%22

It is amazing how much has changed, and how much hasn't changed.

I was thinking about making a website that would have links on the side with the answers to frequently asked questions. Such as STD and sex and health facts. I have pamphlits(sp) and things like that. I will make sure to put the websites where I got the online info. And the phone numbers/addresses on the pamphlits(sp). I will photo copy the pamphlits(sp) so that way I won't mess up any of the info. I was also thinking to add stuff on Periods. There are a few good sites on that. Also, I was going to make google a link to go to. As well as links to common sites like AZ lyrics and LyricsNow(I think thats what it is) because there are alot of questions on here about lyrics. I know that these are alot of the questions here on advicenators, but they are not really "advice" questions, and the ones about sex and STD's should not be answered by most of the people on this site, but by profesionals. I was thinking that maybe this could be helpful, but I wanted to run it by you before I got to work on it.

You can "tweek" it before you use it, if you even want to. but I was going to start on it today, so if you could please get back to me on this as soon as possible, that would be great. Thank you very much!

Hello Kelsey,

I am all for it.

You could make it a series of pages for the faq, or stand alone pages.

I am interested to see what you come up with.

Thanks,

This guy I like (A) was walking in front of me and his friend (B) passed him. A sort of half-grabbed, half-cupped B's butt cheek. B glanced behind and greeted A. A nodded at him and proceeded.
I sort of smack my friend's asses sometimes but I only see other -girls- doing this. I have never seen that happen before.
Now is this some sort of display of masculinity or something? Or is he attached to the friend> (link)
Hello there,

This is usually a kind of "Way to go bud!" kinda thing.

If you watch some professional football, you will see a lot of it.

If it were a sign of being homosexual, a football stadium would be a dangerous place for a straight guy. ;-)

I wouldn't be surprised if you wandered over to watch the boys at your school practice for their football games, and saw this happening all over.

Hello, this is Saint_Gasoline.

I'd like to apologize for offending you in the moderator's forum. Please know that it wasn't my intent to offend you. I simply wanted to have a discussion with you about whether the occasional off-topic response should be considered acceptable. The fact that both you and I have very viscious, sarcastic arguing styles led to a major misunderstanding. I respect you as a person, and I never intended to insult you personally, but sometimes when I visciously lay into someone's arguments it causes them to become personally offended. If that is what happened, I apologize. But it wasn't my intent to bait you into "fighting me". I honestly thought that I could convince you to be accepting of off-topic humor.

At any rate, why should we hold ill-will towards each other simply because we disagree over something as trivial as "off-topic" responses? I know that, at heart, you are a reasonable person, and I think you and I can both agree (even though we agree about so little!) that if we have personal problems with each other simply because we disagree about this ridiculous thing, then we are both in the wrong and reacting childishly. So we disagree. It doesn't really matter. If you'll notice, I've followed the rules in practice, even if I do argue in a manner that seems to imply that I go around insulting people and answering their questions evasively with off-topic, bad advice. My arguments do not reflect my real actions, I think you'll agree.

Anyway, can we put this behind us?



(link)
Hello there,

I don't really know if I want to start any further conversations with you. Every attempt to reach you with logic has failed, and I am afraid this would turn into more of the same.

As for offending me in the moderator forum, apology accepted.

Unfortunately, what you have written here is not much better. I have been viscious, but I guarantee you haven't seen it. I outgrew that some time back, thank God. There was a point that I wouldn't turn loose no matter what. That was about 20 years ago.

As for wanting to have a discussion WITH ME. That is what my e-mail is for. Had you wanted to have a private conversation, that would have been the protocol for the situation.

The whole thing comes across as an attempt to destroy what little I have accomplished in the last couple (going on three)months. That is all the longer I have been here to try and pull this back from the edge of chaos.

If it wasn't your attention to destroy this site, which is the end result of your proposal, then I apologize for taking it that way.

I think you came late to the party... Practically everything was off topic just a short time ago. There was quite a lot of pointless funny and making light of people's problems.

It didn't work before, and it will not work again.

As I stated, and you ignored, there will be a new version of this site setup specifically for people to do whatever funny, hateful, or mindless things they want.

I am sure it will be a real hit. Seriously.

The code isn't yet near where it needs to be to do that, but when it is I am sure you will have a blast there. I know I will. ;-)

Re: "Personal problems with each other."

I don't have a personal problem with you. I have a personal problem with the extremely destructive, (been there, done that, barely survived) idea you are championing.

Yes, we can put this behind us.

I have one request:

Most of the hate mail I recieve in response to your antics revolves around your compulsion to tell anyone who even entertains the thought that their might be some force greater than themselves, that their beliefs are stupid.

Unless a question is asked directly to your column, I ask that you restrain yourself.

Engendering hate in others who were not so when they arrived, is counter-productive.

I know that you feel the need to evangelize your belief that Christians are stupid. I understand it is a compulsion, with which you may have a great difficulty coming to grips.

For the sake of the site, I suggest you find a way.

Now, in case you haven't noticed, there is a real lack of people on here trying to shove Christ down someone's throat. Ever wonder why that was, considering the fact that I believe wholeheartedly in Christ and his teachings?

Because Christ never tackled anyone and held them on the ground beating them until they confessed an undying love for Him.

Most of the so-called 'church' today is so far from what Christ taught that it would be funny if it wasn't life and death.

In truth, the people in the average American 'church' are farther from the God they pay lip-service to than the people who have no concept of Christ.

What you are hating about people like that, I hate also. God hates it doubly so.

In short:

Badgering and belittling people who have already been decieved by a group of beliefs that have nothing to do with the Bible they hold claim to, doesn't help them, and it doesn't strenghten your position.

You want to turn someone away from "attacking people for Jesus" send them over here:

http://www.dangernerd.com/raycomfort.zip

Christianity today is a hypocritical joke. It wasn't always so. That file will stop any decieved pseudo-Christian from badgering people in a hateful manner.

If you want to know how that bit of wonderment happens, listen to the file. The guy is a riot.

We don't allow well meaning people to jam unwanted religious views down anyone's throat.

There is no reason that a proselyte of the voidist persuasion should receive preferential treatment.

Translation: You don't have to have anyone jam their beliefs down your throat, because I remove those posts.

Nobody should have your beliefs shoved down their throat either.

The real hateful stuff that comes from you, always seems to be in that vein. It can't continue. Since 'mat rakers' left, you are number one in my complaint box. I have barely enough time to get everything done without having to handle those complaints.

If you can deal with that, I don't see why we cannot finish all this on a high note.

You still have a lot of years ahead of you. In 10 years, I don't think you would recognize yourself in what you have written here.

I had that experience from the days of Commodore BBSs Found some archive containing posts from when I was 15-17, and was left slack-jawed about what that know-it-all prick was on about.

Your day will come. ;-)

Hello There,

Some people have just a tiny bit of intelligence, and the ability to spell...

Rather than trying to educate people who aren't as lucky as they are, will put down everyone beneath them in any respect they can.

This makes them feel good about themselves.

You see, in truth, they aren't really that smart. They cannot fit in with people in a high-IQ club, because they don't have what it takes.

Since they cannot manage that, they beat up on people less intelligent than themselves to get an emotional 'high.' They soon become addicted to it.

Unfortunately, there is a psychiatric disorder by which people fall in love, or at least admire, people who are cruel to them.

Most commonly this is exhibited by people who have been taken hostage and tortured, but it is the same here with people who humiliate others, only to find that the very people they have humiliated add them to their favorites list.

It is a disease.

DangerNerd.

P.S. If you see it happening, make certain to rate the abusers a '1.' If it is bad enough, submit an abuse report. We are serious about this being a healthy place.


I just finished watching the Exorcist. Is this stuff real? Has this ever happened? I know back in Jesus' time it happened because he performed an exorcisms, as it says in the bible. But does or has this happened lately or around the 60s-70s? I have read many things and there are some stories of exorcisms being performed, but the weird thing is when I watched this movie I don't see how all those things can actually happen to someone innocent whom ingaged in the Ouija board a few times, how does it happen? Im so lost and scared as well. (link)
Hello there,

Yes, I believe it is authentic.

The problem with what you said about the Ouija board is that a person who uses one cannot be considered innocent.

You are summoning a 'spirit' to posess your hands and 'guide' you.

What is innocent or ok with God about that?

If you are interested, and have a p2p client such as limewire, shareaza, bearshare or the like, search for "malachi martin" (without the quotes.)

You will be looking for a file called:

"Malachi Martin (exorcism) (complete) 18October1996.mp3" or something along those lines. The file could have a variety of names, but that will be the theme.

The file should be about 55 megs.

If that doesn't help you to understand, nothing will.

Something you should know... I have had some small exposure to this, and I can say this with certainty:

There is nothing on earth anyone could do to make me believe that these things aren't real after having a guy I outweigh by 150 pounds chuck me across a room with one hand.

I have no doubts.

If you have questions, feel free.

Hey, quick question. I need to look up a columnist, I know the exact column name, I typed it in the name, and its not getting it up, do I have to type it somewhere else, or what?


Thanks in advance. (link)
Hello there,

The odds are you have mistyped something, or you are searching for something with odd characters that screw up the search. If you post the username in the "additional info" I can check into it further.

You might also try using a wildcard search:

For example, instead of typing DangerNerd into the search, you could type %nerd% and see a list of everyone with a nerd name.

Thanks,

I was wondering if we could change the feedback system to arrange the feedback by the newest one given to the oldest, instead of by questions. I was reading a mod discussion about this and I agree- it's hard to find your new feedback in the giant list. It would be easier if the new ones were at the top, or maybe in bold so that we could find them more quickly. Is this possible? (link)

Believe it or not, I am not in the getting out of gym class phase, and my mom is not making me run track. I am actually not trying to get out of anything. I am trying to be able to do more than I was before.
I have 2 reasons for why I want to tear my ACL. My first reason is to solve the knee problems I already have. These are stuff like tendinitis and bursitis. My parents at first did not believe that anything was wrong when I first complained about the pain associated with it, and did not allow me to see a doctor until 2 months after it happened. An MRI revealed Tendinitis a Bursitis, and suggested a few sissions of physical therapy. Well, they held off for 4 months due to my heavy schedule, and thought everything was perfect until the day I told them so. Throughout SEVENTEEN sessions of physical therapy, and little improvement, they thought I was cured. They brought me to the doctor, who said that I was fine, even though I still had pain, and was still unable to straighten my knee.
Well, as a result, I have been in a sort of constant pain ever since. They are unnegotiable in taking me to another doctor (The first was obviously inept), and believe that nothing was wrong in the first place. So, the only way to get the treatment I actually need is to do something drastic, that is noticable. ACL is easiest to rupture, so I chose to work on that.
My second reason is Marching Band. I do not want to get out of it, I want to get more involved in it. I want to be drum major. However, our band is notorious for picking people who are physically unable to march and making them drum major. Heck, that's happened with 6 of our last 7 drum majors. Some of them are the worst leaders ever, yet they change and become the leader they want to be.

It's not getting out of things. I love gym. Favorite class of the day. But I just see these to be more important... (link)
Hello there,

Thanks for the response! What I can tell you is that when your parents see you put your own money up, that may do the trick.

Parents can at times be all too willing to take someone else's word over yours.

Find another doctor, pay for it yourself.

Present the results, see what happens.

The ACL business can literally ruin the rest of your standing life.

The drum major business is well and good. If you really want to learn something about leadership... Have you considered ROTC?

The thing to consider here is that the drum major position is a slim chance.

The injury you are talking about has a 100% chance of making your life less than it could be.

ACL is subject to constant danger of a repeat.

One day you are walking down the stairs and when you put your weight on that leg, ZAP! ...you go down the stairs.

The odds of falling down stairs without getting hurt are proportional to the angle of the next landing and the number of steps between you and that landing. You fall down a single story while not prepared (stunt man kinda training) you are going to get hurt in ways you really don't want.

Ride a bike? Hop up on a pedal to get up a hill, and WHAMMO! ... no more knee.

Like to jog? Too risky for an ACL patient.

Once you get a serious injury like that, your parents may opt you out of all sports. Drum major could be out.

Picture this: The doctor says "Well now, he shouldn't spend any time on his knee that he doesn't have to."

No MATTER WHAT you tell your parents, they aren't going to let you march. NOTHING you say will outweigh what the doctor tells them.

You already know that is a 100% fact.

Your chances are so much better finding a different doctor.

Go to a rehab center and ask if they can suggest a good one.

Your options are many and varied, don't limit them.

DangerNerd.

P.S. Please read the rest of the FAQ while you are there. ;-)


I sweat alot from my underarms. Is that a problem. Uhm...some details. It's mostly during the warm months (but its still more than everyone else is sweating) and it can sometimes form like a pit to the bottom of my bra (rarely). I wear Mitchum Deodorant for Women. I weigh 130 and I'm 5'4. I like salt, but I dont eat ALOT of it. I mostly use a lot on corn, mashed potatoes, and chicken soup (but I dont have those on a daily basis. Usually once or twice a month.) I cant think of any other reasons why. Does anyone think any of those things could be the reason. Any other reasons? Is this unhealthy?? Could I die or anything? (link)
Hello there,

It is called "Hyperhidrosis" and you are not alone. Many many people have it to varying degrees.

Can you die from it? Absolutely.

Anyone who tells you that you cannot die from dehydration is an idiot.

Keeping your electrolytes balanced can be a chore, but you would do well to try a sports drink type thing as well as keeping your water intake up.

You talk about salt as if it was causing the problem... that isn't true. Not having enough salt in your diet with a condition like Hyperhidrosis can be really bad. :-(

I could send you link to treatment info including medication and surgery (only for really bad cases) but the links to all the info you need are on this page. Bet you can find them... they are "pretty" and on the right hand side of the page. :-)

Something to chew on...

Let us say for the sake of argument that you borrow a car from the lead engineer at Ford.

Then let us also say that you wreck said car.

You have to answer to the engineer who designed the car you wrecked.

It doesn't matter where he went to school, you still wrecked HIS car.

---

Let us say that you are given a lollypop by a little boy.

It is his favorite flavor, and he really thinks he is doing you a favor by giving it to you.

For some reason you don't like the sight of it, so you rip it out of his hand and stomp his present into the dirt, thereby hurting his feelings as well as making him cry.

He asks you why you did that...

... Let us assume the little boy has a dad ...

So, you have to answer to the person who gave you the lollypop, not his dad. (Aren't you glad?)


As such, I conjecture that we have only to answer to our immediate superior. That is certainly enough for me.

Thanks for reading,

DangerNerd.

P.S. Now it is time for you to explain where the gasses involved in the big bang theory came from. Which one takes more faith to believe?
