Ive had my period for almost a year now and basically im sick of pads. They are soo annoying and I dont think they work very well. The problem is im afraid of tampons. Do they hurt? This is really embarrassing but Im afraid ill hurt myself and I dont know how to put them in. I looked at the instructions but they seem soo confusing. How do you without hurting yourself and I was wonderring which is better tampons or pads?

Trust me, they are much more convenient, dependable & sanitary. No, they do not hurt. If you insert them correctly, you'll hardly feel them & eventually not feel them at all. The only advice I can give you is to buy a box of Tampax Pearl tampons & practice. Find the right angle & you'll have it down in no time. Not a big deal. :)

My best guy friend led me on & I was completely hooked, then he just cut off all communication with me. He basically dropped off the face of the earth. It hurt like a bitch, and I've been crying for 2 months straight.

How can I make him feel BAD for all the hurt he's caused me? I don't want to do someting equally as bad to him, because believe me, the pain he's caused me is something I could never wish upon another person. I just need some ways to make him feel BAD without actually telling him he should, thank you!

Revenge is usually immature, especially in this kind of situation. Why not continue with your daily life as if he had no affect on you at all? He wants to bring you down & he wants the attention. Don't give it to him & show him he means absolutely nothing to you.

what are some interesting things to do with a boyfriend besides having sex? we've done everything except it but is there any techniques or stuff to make it interesting.. we've been going out for 9 months..thanks

If you are old enough, rent a porn video. Even if porn is not your thing, it can be very educational as far as positions & different techniques. You can also purchase sexual games, toys & books/guides @ Spencer's or any sex shop. If you are too young, ask your friends for any tips or advice they may have. Or just sit down with your boyfriend & ask him what his fantasies are & go from there. Good luck! :)

well when me and my boyfriend have sex it's pretty good. but he always asks how we can make it better. so i said that if massages my clit and can hit the G-spot then that would be really awesome. so he did and then i realized that i miss it when he massages my breasts too. so how can he do both? and am i being too greedy?

No, it's not being greedy. He asked for your suggestions & you gave him one. He clearly has a desire to improve things in the bedroom & if there's something that you're missing, you should be able to talk to him about it. Instead of bluntly saying everything you want from him, compliment him & tell him you love it when he does this or does that. (Or does this & that at the same time.) He wants to please you, so I'm sure he'll find a way to do both or switch off. To make it fair, ask him if there's anything he'd like for YOU to do. :)

I want to go to texas for a vacation, but my family is covinced there's bothing to do in Texas. What are the must-see places, or Tourist places in Texas?

There's nothing to do in Texas? Ha, I used to live there for 13 years & I can tell you there's plenty to do! I'm from San Antonio & two places you can visit there are the ALAMO & the Riverwalk (downtown.) Or just downtown San Antonio in general. You can also visit the capital in Austin. Try searching a travel/tourist site for other locations since I'm not sure which city you plan on visiting. :)

im a virgin and i have been fingered 2 times and ate out 2 times will the doctor be able to see that?

No, it's impossible for a doctor to look at you & be able to tell what you've done sexually. Unless they find an STD, they can't tell whether or not you're participating in any sexual activity to begin with.

im in 8th grade, in a really small school. there is only 8 guys in my whole 8th grade. there all shallow, and will only go out with "hot" girls. sometimes they say, "if you cant supply, we will deny." Is that true about all guys?

Geez, I can't believe guys that age talk like that. I can say that: a majority of guys are immature all the way through junior high & high school. Don't ever bother with anyone who has that kind of mentality. Not all guys are like that, I promise! There are guys out there who will respect you for who you are & don't expect you to put out. Those are the guys you should go after. :)

what things could i do to look hotter and make guys notice me and be like wow that girl is hot? i know its kinda weird but i wanna know thanks!

Be flirty, confident, experiment with different make up, but most importantly..be yourself. There's nothing hotter than confidence.

I am dating this guy and we really love each other and we're both 13 and his mom gave him 2 condoms that she got for him and has aloud to make out on the couch and stuff...we've talked about sex and stuff and we both this we're ready but I dunno how its supossed to happen ? Any tips,comments to suggestions ?

I'm going to be quite blunt & get to the point. You aren't ready. How would I know? Being ready to have sex is being ready to deal with the consequences that may come after. & in today's society, no one at 13 is ready to be a mommy. Even if you use a condom, it doesn't guarantee you 100% protection. I can't even imagine losing my virginity at 13. When I was 13, sex was something we discussed, but nothing we acted upon. It's sad to see people this young are actually considering doing something that should be shared later on in life. You're still young & you should enjoy being 13. Don't worry about these kinds of things till you're physically & mentally mature enough. I was 13 once. I know sex may seem something you're "ready" for now, but later on you'll regret it.

so basically i got out of this relationship with this guy i was in love with i lost my virginity to him and everything. Now ive moved on to liking someone else well you see i figured out he liked me back which for awhile was great but then i just started to not be interested anymore because i went somewhere last night and there were a lot of good looking guy there. Now i duno but i am in fear of him asking me out, i guess it would only be fair to be completely honest with him. Another thing that worries me is my ex boyfriend before the one i was previously in a relationship still likes me(sorry so confusing) and now i feel it is affecting the guy i use to like and my previous ex boyfriends relationship bec. What should i do?

I can first say that it's completely normal to feel a little awkward after getting out of a [what seemed to be] serious relationship. Moving on isn't going to be easy & commitment to someone new might be a little scary. From what you said, you don't seem to know what you want or you're just not ready to jump into another relationship. & that's completely okay! If you are nervous this guy is going to ask you out, just let him know ahead of time that you aren't looking for a relationship right now. But why is it that you're not interested in him anymore? Is it the fear that things just might work out? Is it because you're scared to be happy & have a chance with love again? Or is it because you enjoy going after what you can't have & when you do have a chance with it, you don't want it anymore? Sometimes I think it's great to trust your first instinct. If you have no solid reason for a change of feelings (besides that there are plenty better looking guys in this world), give it a try. I know I did & I'm very happy with the relationship I am in now. Of course there are gonna be other guys who are more physically attractive. But if you like this guy for his personality, then that's all that should matter. Figure out what you want in a relationship. If he can offer what you want, take a chance. If you're not looking for anything right now, then enjoy the single life till you're ready & know what you want. :)

Okay,so I am turning 14 in liek 2 days.
and i kinda want to get a little job. for some extra cash. I dont want to have to keep asking my dad for money. During the summer i worked in a resturant.
But I dont really want to do somethign like that.
I just want somethign small to get me some cashh.
does anyone hava any ideas ??

Since you're only going to be 14, your options are very limited. The only places I can see is: a grocery store or a restaurant. Most places hire 16..15 if you're lucky. But when you're 14, your only other choices are babysitting & housesitting. But if you're really desperate for immediate cash, try going through your closet for gently used clothes, shoes, & other items that you don't wear or use anymore. You can either bring them into a secondhand store in exchange for cash, or put them up on ebay. (To use Ebay, you'll need a parent or anyone 18+ to make you an account.)

What is the best, non-rudest, least akward way to tell someone you want them to get tested before you sleep with them?

Agree to BOTH get tested so they aren't being singled out & can BOTH feel safe before sharing something intimiate. Tell them you care about your health (& his/her) as well & want to be safe. I can't understand anyone going against that.

Is it ok to ask a guy out?.. ok I like this guy and we flirt all of the time.. but I want to get to know him more, besides at school. we are both busy with sports after school... and i just wanna hang out.. what should i do?? i really like him.
15/f

Definitely. These days, it's becoming more "acceptable" for girls to ask guys. Guys usually like a girl who'll make the first move move anyway because it takes off any pressure on them. I'm sure there's a time or day out of your week within both of your schedules when you can both hang out. Just figure that out & go for it. :)

how can i get my boobs to get bigger or grow faster. any ideas? ? thanks!

You can't unless you go under the knife. Instead, try going for a push up bra with some slight padding. :)

i havent started my period [EVERRRRRR]
but i was wondering if its still ok to have sex
my friends mom had sex before she got her period and nothing happened to her .
could that have just been her

can i still have sex and get my period ?

Yes, you can still have sex, but always wear protection. Just because you don't have your period yet, doesn't mean you are guaranteed absolutely no chance of getting pregnant.

i died my hair to day and my best friend thinks i look kinda of ugly what should i do??????
helppp

It's one thing to say that your hair looked better the other color, but it's another thing to call a friend ugly. Don't listen to her. & perhaps, find some friends who will love you for who you are & not by your appearance.

How do I tell my bf that I don't want to have sex with him? I don't want him to be hurt..

Just tell him straight out. Tell him you want to wait or whatever the reason may be. Don't feel guilty. It's YOUR body & YOUR decision. He'll have to respect your choice. & if he doesn't, then he's not the boyfriend for you.

So my boyfriend hasnt done anything but kiss a girl and feel up and stuff. And i have gone all the way. Well, this question is for guys, but girls can answer too. The first time a guy gets a blowjob what should i be expecting? I have done it before but he was experienced. And Will he last long? My thinking he wont, but you never know. And with sex, i dont think he will last long but what should i be expecting? Like should i worry about anything? Like him getting hard, it hurting him, ect?

Thanks so much

Guy who are just starting to experience those sexual things will be typically be turned on faster & won't "last" as long. Getting him arroused & hurting him won't really be an issue. Just make him feel comfortable to make it more enjoyable for the both of you.

Okay so me & my boyfriend had sex last weekend (2-17-07 to be exact) and right in the middle of it the condom popped. As soon as it popped he threw it away and got a new one and it also popped before he came. But lately my stomach kind've hurts sometimes like im hungry and sometimes i get like tightness feeling pains and my vagina itches sometimes. Is there any chance at all i'm pregnant? I really do NOTTTTTTTTT want to be. Is there anything i can do without my parents knowing to reduce the chance of being pregnant? Ahhh. Please please please please please! help.

Your stomach could be hurting for a number of reasons. & if you were pregnant, you wouldn't have an increased appetite in less than a week. The itching could be a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection), which is not uncommon to get from sex. I'd suggest scheduling an appointment with your doctor/gynecologist just to be sure & get treatment if it turns out to be one. There's always a chance you can be pregnant - whether he ejaculates or not. I cannot tell you if you're pregnant or not. The best solution would have been to visit Planned Parenthood to get the morning after pill (effective 72 hrs after sex.) But since it's too late for that, you have no other options at this time other than to wait for your period & take a pregnancy test. If you continue to be sexually active, I suggest using a condom AND getting on the birth control pill (schedule an appointment with your local Planned Parenthood, plannedparenthood.org). That way, if this situation ever happens again, atleast you'll have a backup form of protection.
