so i messeged this guy of fb and he didn't message me back:/ its been a few days and i know he's been on. not to act conceited but i'm a pretty good looking girl. what do i doo?

It's just a guy, it's not the end of the world. There are plenty of reasons why he hasn't messaged you back - he could be dating someone else, too busy or maybe he just isn't interested. Looks aren't everything.

Just leave it. Maybe he will get round to replying and maybe he won't but it's no big loss if he doesn't.

I just started my period and my mom gave me some tampons to use. I'm not really sure how to use them yet but I had a question about them. I know you put them in your vagina and stuff but when you go to the bathroom to pee or poo do you need to take it out? Obviously it's in the vagina but I looked at the instruction book and it showed that there will be a little string hanging out. Should I remove it so the string doesn't get wet or dirty maybe? I'm lost.

The hole that the tampon goes in is completely seperate from the ones used for going to the toilet. Urine comes out of a tiny hole just above it and I'm assuming you know where the other one is.

As the seperate holes don't interfere with each other, there's no need to remove your tampon but it's a good idea to hold the string out of the way so it doesn't get dirty.

I need the real answer to this and not some sugar coated lie. If a girl gives a guy a blowjob (head, oral sex, sucking, whatever you wanna call it) and he finishes up in her mouth then can she get pregnant if she swallows it?

My friend just got a blow job and the girl spit it out. She told him that she does that so she doesn't get pregnant. Is she lying or telling the truth?

Think about this logically.

The distance between the vaginal opening and the uterus is relatively small and is a direct route. In order for swallowed sperm to impregnate you, it would have to go down your throat, into your stomach (and survive the acid in there) then somehow find its way into your uterus. It's impossible.

In short :-
Sperm enters vagina = potential pregnancy.
Sperm enters anywhere else = no pregnancy

Hey Everyone:

I would like to know what happens if when your on a plane that you don't wear a seatbelt while taking off or landing?

The seatbelt is there as a precaution.

Obviously if the plane crashes, wearing a seatbelt is unlikely to make a whole lot of difference but landing and taking off can be bumpy, so it's there to keep you in place. That's why the seatbelt signs also come on when you hit turbulence.

I want to get a piercing. I am thinking clit piercing..how can i get this being under 18 without a parents permission? [RI]

It is illegal to get any genital piercings under the age of 18, regardless of parental consent.

Let me tell you now that you DO NOT want to get pierced by ANYWHERE that is willing to pierce you without ID.

This is one area of the body you do not want to mess around with. A botched job could cause you no end of problems - infection, scarring, loss of sensitivity to name but a few.

Wait until you are 18 and go to a reputable place.

How do I get rid of a keloid from my nose piercing? It's tiny, but gross.. what's the fastest way to treat it??

Go to a reputable piercing shop and ask their advice. If they're a good shop, they should be more than happy to help you.

17/F

I currently have one lobe piercing on each ear and would like to get two more lobe piercings on each ear. I was wondering if it was okay to get them done at the same time or if I needed to space out the piercings.

Just fyi, my first piercing was never infected and I hardly ever cleaned it.

Thanks :)

I got my second and third lobe piercings done at once and was fine. Although I would say that after the first pair, it did get more painful.

When you are about to get a piercing, you build up adrenaline. The adrenaline helps to lessen the pain slightly, which means that the more you get in a row, the more painful they will become. Another problem is that your lobes will become very tender and sore from the first set, so the flesh being pierced will already be painful.

It won't do you alot of harm, especially as it's only the lobes but I wouldn't get any more done at the same time and you should be aware that they will be more painful.

Okay so I think I may have an ear infection. Around the back of one of my piercings, the ear is ... well. It looks like a bubble. It's not filled with pus, though, that's all I know.

How do I make it go away? I want to keep the piercing, I just want the stupid bubble to go away.

This isn't an ear infection. An ear infection affects the ear itself, not any piercings on the ear.

What you have is a pretty common problem for piercings. The fact that it isn't filled with pus and you don't mention any pain indicates to me that it's not an infection. A hard lump is most likely something called a keloid scar, which occurs when the skin doesn't heal properly around a piercing.

I'd suggest you either go to your doctor or a reputable piercing studio to get a proper diagnosis and any necessary treatment.

hi , i want to get pregnant but my husband pull out before ejaculates i can not force him but is there any chance i can get pregnant like this

There is a chance but it isn't as large as if he did ejaculate in you.

Regardless, if your husband doesn't want a baby, you shouldn't be trying to get pregnant anyway. You should also be using some sort of contraception. The pull-out method isn't nearly reliable enough.

I was talking to a guy, trying to help him through some problems he was having, and he (sort of jokingly I think) said that I was too much like him and that he felt like he was arguing with his self? His exact words were something like "...you...you are the only person I can't argue with because I feel like I am arguing with myself. stop it! hehe." Is this a good thing? Like, I'm not TRYING to be like him. I'm just very honest and open with him and I guess we think a lot alike. So this would be a good thing right? Don't guys want girls that think like them?

I think you're reading into this far too much.

He obviously just feels comfortable talking to you, which is a good thing. Being on the same wavelength as someone is always good in relationships, whether they be friendships or more.

It doesn't necessarily mean he likes you as anything more than a friend (although he may well do), it just means you have similiar ways of thinking.

okay im only 16 and by boyfriends 19. i dont know what to do because my mom says that im not allowed to date him because she said so, but i really like him and my mother just wont see my side. so what should i say so shell let me show her that i really like him and should stay with him?

Try and see this from your mother's perspective. You are her child and it is her responsibility to take care of you and protect you. She loves you and doesn't want to see you getting hurt or involved in anything bad. She's not trying to ruin your life or make you unhappy, she's trying to do the opposite.

Three years doesn't seem like a big age gap, but the difference between a 16-year-old and 19-year-old is very different to that between say, a 21-year-old and a 24-year-old. Although it isn't always the case, teenage boys are usually keen to get their girlfriends into bed. At 16, you're probably not at the legal age of consent (assuming you live in the US) but your boyfriend is. Even if you are old enough, it's unlikely your mother wants you to be sexually active. She's probably concerned that you may end up getting involved in a relationship far more serious than you can handle at your age.

However, there's a good chance that he's not like this at all and there is a genuine attraction between you based on more than sex. In this case, there may be room for compromise.

Pick a time when your mother is in a good mood and when you are getting on. Sit her down and talk to her calmly and seriously. Explain why you like this guy and ask her to explain to you what her concerns are. Ask if you could invite him to meet her. Although it may be uncomfortable at first, meeting your boyfriend might help your mother to see what he is like and judge whether or not she trusts him.

If she lays down any ground rules - such as only spending time together when she's around or a curfew - then stick to it and don't argue. Once she realises she can trust you and more importantly, him, she will most likely ease up a bit.

Whatever you do, remain calm and mature. Getting angry if she still refuses isn't going to change her mind, it will just reinforce in her mind that you aren't mature enough for a relationship. If she really, really isn't going to shift on this then it might be time to give up. Going behind her back and lying isn't a good idea as you will almost certainly get found out and lose her trust further. Sometimes our parents really do know best, even if we don't see it at the time.

I'm 17 and I got this lady in town to let me babysit her daughter. The girl is 11 years old and I will be babysitting her this weekend. The lady said I could take her to my house if I'm more comfortable with that but that I need to have her home and in bed by 9 so she can get to sleep shortly after.

Well, I have only babysat like 5 year olds and I don't want to make this 11 year old feel like I'm treating her like a baby or something. What are some good things to do while babysitting an 11 year old? Games to play maybe or what? I figure I can't just pop a movie in and let her entertain herself with it like some of the little kids I babysat wanted to do. I want to be a good babysitter...

Try to find out beforehand what kind of things the girl is interested in. If you look after her at your house, it's a good idea to get her to bring some of her books and toys. If she's a quiet girl, she might well be pretty happy to read, play or watch TV/a movie by herself.

If she is more interested in doing things, then arts and crafts are always a good option. You could paint or draw or if you don't have access to paints etc then a collage is a great inexpensive option - just use old magazines.

Another good, simple and free idea is to play word and paper games. Consequences is a good one - where you each write a part of a story or part of a picture in secret, fold the paper up and let the other person do the next part and so on. Another good one is hangman - this is great as it also helps with their spelling and learning words.

Whatever you do - clear it with the mother first.

My mom said I could start a babysitting business this summer. I am going to make some poster ads for it. What should I write on the fliers though? I want a good flyer that people will notice and call me about so I can make some money. The only thing I know to put on it is that I can do babysitting. What do I write to get clients?

The best thing to do is to keep them really simple and clear.

Be sure to include your name, age, sex, when you are available, your rates, a contact number and any qualifications you have - if you haven't got any official qualifications then stating how much experience you have is good, e.g. '5 years experience'. Bear in mind that a short basic first aid or childcare course will really boost your appeal and enable you to charge more. You can find out about these a community centres and in the local paper.

If you have people who can give references for you, it's also a really good idea to say these are available. You don't need to include the details on the flyer, just put 'references available on request' at the bottom.

Here's a basic template you could use:

BABYSITTER AVAILABLE
(Name)
Responsible ??-year-old girl/boy available to babysit evenings and weekends.
Trained first aider
?? years experience
$?? per hour, per child
Contact: ???-???-???
References available on request.

Make the flyers bold and eye-catching but not too garish or childish. Stick to a simple colour scheme and don't be tempted to cover it with pictures or cartoons as this might make you look childish.

If you already babysit for people, it might be a good idea to give them a couple of flyers and ask if they could mention you to their friends.

Be careful where you distribute your flyers - you don't want your name and contact details getting into the wrong hands.

Okay me and my boyfriend were making out today on the bed and things got a little hot and heavy and he got an erection. So he was "hard" and i was on top of him and we were kissing and i was wearing shorts like really short and a pad just in case anything came out of my vagina and underwear. He was wearing gym shorts you know the baggy ones and there like flannel and like cloth and he had a wet spot by his penis so im guessing that was semen and i backed off a bit because i was getting a little paranoid. My lower body half didn't touch there but i might have noticed a little late and if i was on top of him and the dot was there is it possible for it to get into my vagina? it didn't get on my shorts or anything. anyway he left and now i feel queasy and tingly and clear jelly like substances are coming out of my vagina and i keep wetting my underwear during the whole situation and when i think about it to.. what does that mean? And my tummy is rumbling and i don't feel like eating really anything and i pooped and im having alot of gas but i don't feel nauseas or anything its just my tummy feels so queasy and unsettled so i feel like i'm pregnant? is it possible i don't have any money to buy a pregnancy test so i want to know if it possible and some symptoms. I am only 13 years old and i have never been sexually active before. this is the closest ive ever gotten to being active. i'm so scared and i really need some help. I just had my period before this whole thing happened so.. does that mean its more likely for me to be pregnant?

You aren't pregnant.

You were both fully clothed, it'd be a miracle if sperm travelled through his clothes and yours and somehow managed to get inside your vagina.

The wetness in your underwear during the situation and when you think about it is your body's natural response to being turned on. Just like a guy gets an erection, a girl's vagina lubricates itself to prepare for potential penis entry.

I had appendicitis last month, and ever since then I've had stomach pain and sometimes intestinal pain bad enough to make me hold onto something for support if I'm standing. Is this a result of the appendicitis? The severe inflammation it caused my digestive tract gave me some sort of condition? The pain only happens after the first meal of the day. I can eat at 6 or noon for my first meal but it still hurts. What's the deal?

I strongly suggest you go and see your doctor. It might not be serious but it could be and it's not worth the risk getting a diagnosis from unqualified people on here. Make an appointment asap.

Okay so my dad loves to get on these weird dating websites like match.com or plentyoffish.com
my parents are divorced so idrc about the fact of him talking to women but he's dating girls that are like 19 years old I have a sister who's 18!
I find it creepy for him to be talking to girls who are that close to his own daughters age.
is he just doing this to feel young again?
or what? it makes me creeped out to even be around him! why won't he date girls that are his age? (he's 39 almost 40)

As long as he isn't dating anyone under 16, he's not a paedophille.

It may creep you out but alot of men like younger women. They're often more attractive, fitter and more interested in 'young' things like going out clubbing which may well make him feel young again.

Your dad has every right to date who he likes but if it's really making you feel uncomfortable, have a word with him. He might take it on board and bear it in mind in future, he might not. If anything else, perhaps an explaination of why he likes younger women might help.

is it strange for a girl's stomach to have hair on it? i'm not sure if i should shave it because then it will grow back darker right?

The whole body is covered with fine hair, which is nearly invisible in some areas. There are only a couple of places which aren't, such as the palms of the hands.

Everyone is different and it's normal for some hair to be darker. It's a bad idea to shave it as you're right, the hair will grow back with blunt edges, making it appear thicker and darker. The best thing to do is to bleach the hair as this will make it a lot less noticeable. You can get this done professionally at a beauty salon or with a DIY kit at home.

Around 5 to 4 years ago, when I was 12 I let my dog lick my penis twice. I havent done it since then and have deeply regretted it since then. It's recently been plagueing my head because I have this close friend who I care for a lot and whenever she says that I'm amazing and unique I feel bad because what if she knew I did that? Should I feel bad for having her think I'm such a great person even though I did that? Or since it happened years ago it shouldnt matter? I'm a completely different and more mature and wiser person, so should I care about who I am now or what I did? Is she close friends with a freak? Should I be arrested for having done it? She's told me before that she doesnt care about anything I've done and that its not important to her, but everytime she compliments me, I feel guilty. Please help and please answer each question if you can.

Everyone does things they're not proud of and which they'd rather people didn't know, including your friend. It's okay to keep this one to yourself. It wasn't a brilliant thing to do but it was a long time ago and it's not going to happen again so don't let it bother you.

how do i cleanse my vagina after a yeast infection?

There's no need to do anything special.

Washing your vagina in the shower as you would normally is fine. Don't be overzealous with your cleaning, as this strips the vagina of its natural good bacteria which can actually encourage yeast infections. You might like to try a soap designed for use around the vagina, as these will be milder. There is no need to 'douche'.

whats the best/easiest brand of tampons to use?
i have a hard time using them lol

thanks!
xo

Personally, I prefer regular Tampax. I've tried their Compak and Pearl and they're nice, but the applicators aren't very eco-friendly and they're not flushable either. I hate using tampons without applicators as they're much trickier and more uncomfortable to get in.
