My boyfriend doesn't know how to kiss!! It's slobery, he actually licked my face!!! It's so weird!! I don't want to kiss him! I don't want to kiss my own boyfriend! I've tried giving him hints on that he uses too much tounge (i couldn't breathe once!!) But I have never told him directly. I don't want to hurt his feelings, he loves kissing, he even said so the otherday. And I hate it, it's so wet and slobery! How do tell him without hurting his feelings?
(link)
Okay you need to be direct but subtle too. I know, it sounds hard right?

Before you tell him what NOT to do, compliment him on something that you like him to do.

For example, if you like how he kisses along your jaw or strokes your face, say something like, 'I really like how you trail kisses along my cheek, but I think the kiss would be a little bit better if there wasn't so much tongue.'

This way, he hears what he's doing wrong, but the compliment softens the blow.

I hope it works out for you!


hi.
so i've had a boyfriend for almost 4 months & we go to school together, and usually kiss after school and everything. i'd said we kiss at least once or twice a day, but not every single day. we've only made out once..in march. this was at a dance. he never makes a move to make out with me! but i really want to! maybe go further [not sex! maybe just like, feeling up & stuff like that]. most of the time, it's ME who makes the move to kiss him, since he's 8 inches taller hahaha. but i don't know. i want to do stuff, & i can't read his mind. what should i do? (link)
Talk to him and tell him that you feel like he isn't attracted to you because he never makes a move.

Or you can tell him that you're just not going to kiss him again until he learns to make the first move. I'm sure this one will work.

Hope it works out!


My heart was recently broken any suggestions on how to fix it and to forget about the girl? (link)
Well, you can't fix your broken heart overnight. It may take a while but eventually you will move on and find a girl that you can give your heart to that won't hand it back in a thousand and one pieces. If you remember this, it will be a lot easier for you to get through the day.

To help you forget about her, you should take everything that reminds you of her and put it in a box and store it somewhere where you won't stumble upon it every day (like in the back of your closet or in your basement).

(I don't think you should completely get rid of it because you may want to sort through your old memories when you get older)

The first couple of weeks will be the hardest for you. But each day that goes by will be easier, you will think about her less, and one day, you will be able to see her and not think about how much you miss her and want her back.

I hope your heart heals so you can get back out there.


how can you tell if a guy likes you ..? (link)
Okay, there are a lot of ways to tell, but I will list a few here for you right now.

He may like you if:

he tries to catch your eye.
he takes your advice.
he wears something all the time that you said he looked good in.
he looks for ways to talk to you.
he touches you even if it isn't exactly 'necessary'.
he compliments you.
he tries to get in good with your friends.
he tries to make you laugh.
he tries to help you.
he calls just to say hi.
he acts jealous or 'weird' if you mention another guy.

There are plenty more, but it would take forever to list them all, but these are the most common.

Hope this helps you!!


i just got a new bf, i'm his first gf, and i've had another bf before...he has braces and i dont. most likely i will have to make the first move..but i dont want to start making out and something happen w/ his braces...is it possible for my tounge or lips to get caught on his braces? if yes how can i avoid it? and what should i do if it does happen?
thanks (link)
It is possible for his braces to snag your lip or tongue. It may bleed a little but it won't be too tragic. It is even more likely for his braces to snag you if you have a tongue or lip ring. If it does snag, stay calm, so you don't rip it any more.

Although I said it was possible, it isn't very likely, so don't fret about it unless it does in fact happen.

Hope this helps!


Hi, I am a 13 year old girl, about.. I don't know.. 5ft.7in.? And I already weigh 125.. all my friends say I'm not fat but yet they are all thinner than me. I Don't care what they say, I'm going to loose weight. How, do you think, is the best way for me to lose 20 in.... 1 week. That's when 2 of my friends are having pool parties and I don't want to go unless I've lose 20 pounds.. I've been trying for a long time and haven't lost but 2 pounds. I'm impatient, so work with me here! Lol. (link)
If you're 5'7", 125 pounds is actually a healthy weight. The most you should lose is about ten pounds. Losing twenty pounds will leave you at 105 pounds which will make you underweight and may make you dizzy, lightheaded or even faint.

You should drink more water. When you drink water, you are hydrated, but you also pee it out of your system. Ice cold water will burn calories even faster. Carbonated drinks actually make your stomach swell and juices or drinks with sugar in them will make you gain fat in your belly region, even in '100% fruit juice'.

You should run or jog for about thirty minutes every day. It is best to go in the morning because your metabolism is slower then, and when you exercise it speeds it up, which will help it speed up all day, burning more calories.

Eat 'good fats', such as bananas.

Try doing squats or lunges for your legs. It will help burn fat while also building muscle to tone them.

Also, it will help you to look slimmer if you use self tanner. Use some on the outside and inside of your thighs and the outside of your stomach to make the muscles look more toned.

Hope this helps


I'm on my period and my dance recital is tomorrow. I'm going to wear a tampon but sometimes I still leak even if I have one in.
I can't wear underwear since it sticks out under the costume when i'm dancing but I wear this nude colored leotard thing underneath. Do you think if I put a pad there it would fall out or something? (link)
If you put a pad in there, it would probably be easily seen. If you wear a tampon and it still leaks, you should use one with a higher consistency.


is there a difference in intelligence between babies who have been breastfed and those who subsisted on milk powder formula stuff? how about even soy powder formula stuff because they were allergic? ( (link)
I have heard that children that are breastfed turn out to be smarter and have a slightly higher IQ. I wouldn't think that it is much difference though.



ok so im 15, female, and i've always heard of people talking about masturbation, and i'd never tried it. So one day, about a month ago, I tried it, and it felt SOOO good...but as I kept doing it, the feeling decreased and it actually started feeling wrong. I feel guilty because I consider myself a fairly good Cristian, and also because sometimes I'll do it even 3 times a day, but I don't wanna get addicted. Sometimes I feel so ashamed of myself because I'm basically having sex by myself, and I wonder if any of my friends do it (and dats when i really feel pathetic)... I just dont know what to do...Thanx for reading... (link)
The Bible says that it's wrong to have sex before marriage. This being stated, sex is the joining of the genitals. Masturbation is NOT sex. There is not joining of the genitals.

You shouldn't feel guilty about making yourself feel good. I have never seen anything in the Bible about masturbation being a sin. (I also go to Church and read the Bible, and I have never personally seen or heard anything about it being a sin.)

Hope this helps you!!


I'm 13yrs old and I'm a female.Me and my boyfriend have been going out for almost 5 months and he calls usally everyday and do when he calls one day we have nothing to talk about the next so the phone conversations are silent......!We've already talked about the basics like our likes and dislikes,and the future,even random things like CHEESE!So if you have any advice than please help me!
(link)
Talking every single day makes you run out of things to talk about. Instead of talking every day, try talking every other day or even every third day. That way, when things happen to you in the day or two that you don't talk, you'll have something to talk ABOUT when you DO talk.

Try doing this and see what happens. If you need more help, pop me a question in my inbox.

Hope this helps you!


my friend knows i like this guy but she keeps talking to him. she even told me many times that he's all mine. how should i approach her and let her know that i really like him and that i want to her stop sort of like leading him on to her. please help because this has been bothering me for a really long time and i cant get it off of back. thanks! (link)
Okay, there are a few things I think you should hear.

1. Your friend can talk to anyone she wants to talk to. She's allowed to have guy friends.

2. If you keep telling your friend she can't talk to one of her friends, she's going to stop talking to you.

3. This guy isn't your 'property' so you cannot stop him from talking to other girls or stop other girls from talking to him.

4. Even if he was your boyfriend, you still cannot stop him from talking to other girls, or he would dump you for being controlling anyway.

5. You can't get mad at your girly friend for talking to a guy you refuse to tell you like to his face.

6. It doesn't matter who he talks to anyway. He likes who he likes.

7. If you refuse to tell him that you like him, you have no right to tell other girls they can't talk to him. HE IS NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND.

8. If you like him, tell him. If he likes you back, it will work out. If he doesn't, then his life is none of your business so stop trying to control someone you don't even know.

Hope you grow a backbone to confess to the guy and quit being a bitch.

OKAY, THEN, IF YOU TOLD HIM YOU LIKE HIM AND HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING, HE OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T LIKE YOU BACK, SO GET OVER YOUR FUCKING CONTROLLING SELF YOU STUPID FUCKING DILF!


15/m

i always see these questions about people making out and feeling each other up and such. . . .

my question is how would one go about this without seeming too aggressive or, even worse, looking like a sleazebag?

i'm just asking because i want something to make making out a little bit more interesting, and i've read all these things about "oh, you should feel her up while you make out," but i don't exactly know how to go about doing that . . .

i know it's kind of a weird question but i just don't want to seem like a jerk to my girlfriend. i mean, we love each other a lot and i don't want to jeopardize it. . . .

thanks in advance (link)
Okay, Sparky 1 has a point about letting the girl call the shots, but if you always do that, a girl will think that you're not that interested in her because you're not making a move.

Before you go under her shirt, you need to see how she reacts to you touching her on top of her shirt first.

To go about doing this without seeming like a 'sleazeball', start by having your hand on her waist. While you're making out, slowly drag your hand up towards her breast. She'll know what you're going for, so she'll stop you before you get there if she doesn't want you to touch her there.

Hope this helps you!!

theres this guy that likes me and i kinda like him too and im going to a party tomorrow night and i heard some rumors he was going to kiss me and this is my first kiss. im really nervous what happens after we kiss? like i just dont wanna do something stupid can something help me out and like how do you kiss. ah im soo nervous. thanks soo much. (link)
A good kiss comes naturally. If you take advice from anyone other than the person you're kissing, it's usually bad. Just go with the flow. Guys usually take the lead with a kiss, so just do what he does.

But if he starts with his entire tongue forced halfway down your throat, just pull back gently and then start kissing him softly on the lips before starting to french again.

If you're nervous about where to put your hands, you can either: put them on his shoulders, put them on his hips, stroke his cheek or neck, or clasp your hands behind his neck.

After the kiss, put your hands on his shoulders or waist and lean back; look him in the eyes and smile. Then you can say something like, 'that was nice,' 'you're a good kisser,' or 'I really liked that.'

Hope it's good for you!!


The other night was my first kiss. I was hanging out with a group of my friends and everybody went home except me and this guy I've liked for a while. We sat in his car listening to music and talking for a while, and when I got out of the car, he commented that he didn't need to be home for 5 more minutes (we were just up the street from his house). I asked if that was an invitation, and he said that depended on whether I was interested or not. After a few more minutes of playful banter and me almost leaving again, he finally shut up and kissed me. This is with 2 minutes left on the clock. There was tongue involved, there was necking, it was very nice, but only two minutes long. When we broke for air I said to him "time's up" and he pulled me close and asked how late I wanted to make him.

I kissed him on the cheek, told him I needed to get home (I didn't, but it was his curfew and I didn't want to get him in trouble even if it meant more fun for me), and said I'd see him at school the next day.

I really like him, so I'm wondering if I came off as a tease there at the end, if that's a good thing, and if it isn't, how can I make sure he knows I didn't mean to brush him off?

17/f (link)
You didn't brush him off and you didn't seem like a tease. You just seemed playful (in my opinion). So, if you like him, I think he likes you, I think you should go for it and kiss him again.
Or tell him that you like him, that he was a good kisser, that you would like to continue what you started the other night, or ask him out.

Hope this helps!


i have been having sex with my boyfriend for over a month now. we have sex just about 6 times a week. i have yet to orgasm. we are trying. but what is something that i could do to help out? and i have never masterbated or experienced an orgasm. i would like to experience one. haha

just some kind of tip for us. thanks. (link)
For most women, it is easier for them to orgasm while also massaging and caressing their clitoris while having sex. You can use a vibrator, your fingers or have him put his hand between you and caress you while he his stroking inside of you.

Also, you should try pleasuring yourself first, so you know what to do and what to show your bf to do to make you orgasm. Think of something that is very arousing to you, (a fantasy), and close your eyes. (Make sure your door is locked or you are home alone) Massage and roll your nipples between your fingers and then stroke down your belly and your sides like you would like your bf to do it. Now, you can stroke lower through your pubic region until you get wet and your lips plump up. Stroke your clitoris with your thumb and finger yourself with your middle and/or ring finger(s). (This will help you get used to having an orgasm with something stroking inside you also.)

When you finally have an orgasm, it will feel like an explosion.

I really hope this helps you!!



15/m.... me and my boyfriend (16/m) were having sex and he had a condom on. During the sex, which was my first time, and I loved it, his condom came off and when he pulled his dick out the condom wasn't there and we couldn't find it.. like I don't even feel it.

What should I do? (link)
The condom probably slipped off a stroke or two before he noticed it, so he could have pushed it a little deeper inside you. If you couldn't find it under you or around where you were having sex it is probably still inside you. You may not feel it where it is, (just like you can't feel a tampon when it is inside you). You can either reach inside of you with your fingers to see if you can get it out or you can go to a doctor or gynecologist to see if it IS in fact still inside of you. If it is, they can get it out.

If your period is more than a week and a half late, you should also be checked for pregnancy.

If he didn't ejaculate, it is more unlikely that you are pregnant but it is still possible because of his preseminal fluid.

Hope this helps you!!


my friends step brother is 25 and my friend is 13 ... he is 100 % philipino and my friend is half ... well he lives in the house with my friend and well ;awhile back like a few months ago she only told me a few things that happenedsuch as he was forcing her to touch his penis , and play around with him and other dirty stuff like that .
well her sister told my older sister that she got molested.
and i was wondering , does that me he put his penis inside of her , or did just playing with his penis also count as molestation ?
i wanna know
im scared for her
because my sister found out that she was molested and im not sure if i understood !
(link)
Molestation is when someone forces someone else to touch his/her genitals or forces someone else to let them touch his/her genitals.

Rape is when the attacker forces his penis inside her vagina. It is also possible for a woman to rape a man if he is aroused, but it's not very common.

Hope this helps!


Well I am a 17 year old female and have never really done anything with a guy.. not even kissed


well i was laying down with a "friend" watching a movie today and he started fingering me.. how do i react? i just kinda layed there and put my hand on top of his

Should i do anything back? I am comfortable with whatever but tonight was the first night we were more than just friends and my parents were upstairs.
what should i do? (link)
If you feel comfortable doing this with him, then it's okay to keep doing it.

But I think you should talk to him about whether you just want to keep it a physical relationship, or friends with benefits or if it was just a one time thing.

If you liked what he did and you would like to have a physical relationship with him, you should tell him so. But you need to be up front first off about what exactly you want and don't want.

But if you're going to go farther, just remember to be safe.

If you need more advice, pop a question in my inbox.

ps: Don't listen to www google com. You will not ruin your life by having sex if you're safe. You will not automatically get pregnant just because you like to have orgasms with another person.

Hope it works out for you!!!!


first off i wanted to know the percentage or being on birth control and the chance of getting pregnant? Me and my boyfriend had sex and the condom slipped off. He blow it up and it didnt seem to have any holes in it? I still want the percentages though just incase. (link)
The average percent of not getting pregnant while on birth control pills is about 98%.

I know there wasn't any holes in the condom when it slipped off, but that doesn't mean that nothing dripped out of it when it slipped off.

See, when a condom slips off, the preseminal fluid or semen can spill out of it and get inside of you.

The percent of this actually happening is only about 1-3%, however.

So, since you are on the birth control pills and also used a condom, I would say that it is highly unlikely that you will get pregnant, about a one or two percent chance.

So, unless you actually see signs of pregnancy, like missing your period, by more than a week and half, or getting morning sickness and food cravings, you shouldn't fret.

Hope this information helps!!


i was over my boyfriends house and we were sitting on his NEW white couch. and talking and everything then we started making out. and then i had to pee really bad so i got up and went to the bathroom and relized i got my period and it was all on my clothes. and then i relized i was sitting on his white couch =/ and i ran out really fast but i looked and i saw a red stain on the couch. whenever i see him in school he always comes upo and gives me a hug and everything but i cant tlak to him cause im still embarssed and he always asks me whats wrong and why i dont talk to him anymore. i wanna talk to him again and not be embarssed what should i do? cause i know he saw it for a fact. what shoudl i do? (link)
Laugh it off and get over it. Guys know that girls have periods. It is nothing to be embarassed about. He's not embarassed about it or he would be acting weird towards you also. He is acting like nothing happened because it wasn't a big deal to him.

Just act normal towards him from now on and everything will go back to normal. He may know when you have your period but it's only natural for it to happen, so don't sweat it.

He got over the little mishap, so should you.

Hope this helps you!!
