Q: I'm a freshman in high school and turned 14 about 5 months ago. Over the summer I started dating this guy, whose name will be X for the sake of saving space and keeping my identity somewhat hidden. X is my first boyfriend and he's a great guy. Our problem is that we go to two different schools. I barely get to see him. The last time we hung out was about 2 months ago. We've been keeping our relationship a secret because my parents are extremely idiotic and think that their daughter (me) shouldn't have a boyfriend until she's 16 at least. So because of this I can't leave my house to see him because I know they won't take me anywhere. A few weeks ago my dad found out about me and X because my brother was a snitch and told him. My dad yelled at me for a while but never told me to break up with X so I haven't. I love X but its pretty much impossible to see him unless he sneaks over like last time. What the heck should I do?
I agree with babegyal.
I think you should sit your mom down, by herself.
Tell her about this relationship with this guy, tell her he's a really great guy, and you'd atleast like to spend SOME time with him.
Your dad's just being a dad.
My dad still has problems with me going out, and I'm almost sixteen.
Your mom may be thinking of how she acted as a kid your age, maybe she thinks she done something that she dont want you to make the mistake of doing, early sex maybe? I don't know.
You definately don't need to let your brother know anything about the relationship, brothers tend to twist things a little.
I dont think you should bring up sex however, unless your mom does.
Good luck with your boyfriend!
Hope I helped!

Q: should you straighten your hair after your hair drys when you get out of the shower, or the day after? Which one would look better.
It really just depends on what type of straightener you have.
When I straighten my hair, I blow dry it a little, to get most of the water out, and I let it air dry the rest.
When its dry I partially straighten it, I don't make it perfect.
I sleep on it so it will lay flat to my head the next day.
Then the next morning I straighten it again.
I wouldnt recommend straightening it on a high heat level.
A CHI brand straightener is a good straightener.
Be careful not to frizz your hair.
If it helps, I use heat resistance, it causes less damage, and makes your hair look even healthier.
I suggest VO5 Heat resistance, you can find it at walmart, in the shampoo and conditioner section.
Hope I helped!

Q: 16/m
Two questions
1.) Do girls like it when a guy shaves their stuff?

2.) What's the best way to shave down there?

Thanks in advance.
1) A girl loves it when a guy shaves, it shows that he cares about his body, and has good hygiene.
2) When shaving your area, I usually let it soak.
Then after the hairs get loose, and not so stiff, I moisturize it with soap, and massage the hairs, this also helps to loosen them up.
Then, I rinse the soap off, and cover with shaving cream and just shave away.
Be careful not to shave too fast though.
When you shave, shave from bottom to top, but not so much straight up and down, shave at an angle, this prevents rash, and cuts!
Hope I helped!

Q: ok sometimes when my boyfriend and i are making out and stuff, he kinda almost gets some kind of rash around his upper chest/neck area. is this normal? someone told me that happens when the guy is turned on?
Thats normal.
My boyfriend does that.
Its even worse during sex.
Its not really a rash, its just lots of redness.
Nothing to worry about.
It just means he's really horny.
Hope I helped!

Q: when a girl gets wet, does it have any kind of smell?
It doesn't smell unless you have bad hygiene.

Q: what are some ways a female can prevent an odor "down there" or make that area smell good without using vagisil or any other kind of drug? any ideas?
Summers Eve- Towlette- Dont use while on period, cleans vaginal area, leaves smelling fresh.

Douche Kit- Squirts up into vaginal area, use after period. Cleans vaginal area.


Many women take the issue of genital hygiene very seriously, to the extent of sometimes becoming obsessed with it. The vagina is something that is very simple to clean.
The external part of the vagina, the labia, should be cleaned twice a day using clean cold water. Since the genital area is moist and warm, bacteria can grow easily. When you use hot or warm water you are creating an atmosphere for the bacteria to grow more irrevently.
Women often use perfumed soap and other products with strong scents in a hope to change the smell of the vagina. This can cause infection. Washing the inside of the vagina with soap disturbs the natural balance of substances.
When the natural balance is disturbed you are at risk of developing an infection that is caused by bacteria.It is also important for the area to be cleaned following sexual intercourse. Washing should be performed using a singular front to back motion to avoid bacteria around the anus from coming into contact with the vagina or urethra .
Cleaning the vagina is just one thing but there are things that you needs to take into consideration. The kind of underwear one wears and the way it is washed makes a difference. Cotton underwear with good coverage help reduce the likelihood of perspiration and the transfer of bacteria from the anal region to the genital area.
The vagina has a self cleaning process, normal vaginal discharge is usually clear to white and it is a necessary part of the body's regular function. As discharge leaves the body, it takes bacteria with it which helps in keeping any vaginal infections at bay.
Excretions from the vagina, perspiration, and urine can build up making it even easier for the bacteria to grow which is why one needs to clean the vagina after urinating. These bacteria can cause urinary tract infections (UTI's) or other vaginal infections.

Q: I've had sex with my boyfriend and i love him more than anything but i don't like the thought of giving him oral. I have gave oral to another guy before i started going out with my recent boyfriend so he never really lets me live that one down. Now i'm kind of easing up and would want to give him a bj but if he cums does that not mean we can't have sex? like i wouldn't want to give him one and it be done with. When i done oral for the first time the guy warned me when he was going to sum so he didn't do it in my mouth which i was so relieved about. Also if i have my mouth down there and then we have sex i don't think he'd want to kiss me which is also kind of offputting. Is there a happy/medium anywhere lol

I think my question is alot of questions in itself so answers to any would be grateful.
OMG! I was in the same situation.
Me & my boyfriend have been dating eleven months.
We had sex and had done everything else, besides me giving him a BJ, around 4 1/2 months.
About 3 months ago I started giving him head.
I really didnt want to at first, but I knew he would go along with what I said.
I think your saying that you don't want him to cum in your mouth, that you want him to cum else where? You should be able to have sex after he cums, maybe not directly afterwards, but yeah, you should be able to have sex.
He shouldnt care to kiss you as long as he doesnt cum in your mouth. Because if he has good hygiene he should smell, or taste bad (lol).
My advise, you don't have to do this, just a suggestion.
Steps ... lol...
1- Give him head, but dont let him cum.
2- If you have unprotected sex, then just climb ontop of him, without letting him get off from the BJ, and go at it.
-If you have protected sex, have a condom nearby, and put it on him, use your mouth, this is a turn on.
3- After you have sex, and YOU get off, move back down to his lower area, if he has a condom on, take it off, and start giving him head.
If he isnt wearing a condom, give the penis time to dry and then give him head.
I promise theres no taste as long as you have good hygiene also.
4- Give head, until you want to stop, or he gets off.
Good luck with everything!

Q: ok so i really like this guy and he said he likes me (he even said he loved me) but were not going out officially, were just friends with benefits really. we've hooked up a few times but we've never really talking about being in a relationship, but i kinda want to be in one with him.. idk it sounds retarded but i dont know what to do. any advice?
My advise is to tell this guy how you feel, you've said yourself that he's told you that he loves you. However, there may be a downfall to this. You say your friends with benefits at the moment, consider if he doesn't want to start a relationship. Hopefully he's not a jerk & he really finds hope in you guys.
Maybe he's not made the move, because he's unsure of where you stand, if you want to be with him or not.
You should most definately talk to him.
Goodluck!

Q: I am married and have been having an affair with a married woman. I am a complete fool as I fell in love with her. She repeatedly spoke to other men whilst with me and admitted she did. She also has a very dubious past, as she possibly worked as prostitute in her homeland. She worked in showbiz and admitted she had taken certain'steps' to ensure the furtherment of her career. I know I do not have a leg to stand on morally. The affair has ended as she claimed she had found God. She has done this in the past but always seems to find other men to speak to. I know she is is contact with another man at this time but do not know what has happened between them. Should I tell her husband? My motivation is revenge, and I know it`s wrong. I am thinking of commiting suicide, as I cannot let go of her. Iam so deeply in love with her. I have tried it in the past but was unsucessful. I pray to God each day to end my life as I cannot bear to be without her. I accepted the end of the affair, but begged her to at least let me text her once a month, but she went back on her word and this has left me desperate. I know I`m in the wrong as well here but what should I do? I`m lucky to have a loving wife, but I do not deserve her. If I tell her husband I will have to tell mY wife and she will leave me. The only thought that gives me any peace or solace is the thought of suicide. I cannot bear to live a moment longer. I am 32 but have high BP and have been very ill of late. I mentioned this to her (not to get sympathy) but to finally establish whether she cared or not. She said she was busy and did not want to talk and this told me all I needed to know, depste her always claiming she loved me. I just want to die. I am a worthless human being with nothing to offer anybody so what is the point of going on? I really wanna know whther I should tell her husband as well, though I know this will end her marriage. This is wrong is`nt it. I kow she won`t shed a tear if I left the world. I just cannot go on.
Dont kill yourself, thats never the solution.
You have a loving wife at home, and probably kids that you haven't mentioned.
Yes, you are in the wrong, by wanting to tell her husband, for revenge, and by having an affair.
If you tell anyone, I think it should be your wife, she's earned more honesty that anyone.
You won't kill yourself, or you would have already done it. Turn to God, don't think of suicide. God's always here to help you, no matter what.
Don't say you cannot go on, when you can. & dont use High BP as a pity act.
You need to get this prostitute out of your mind, and care for your family!
I hope you make the right decisions.
Goodluck!
Have faith.

Q: does anyone know anything about labioplasty?
Labioplasty, is a surgical procedure that reduces the size of your labia.

Q: OKay...umm can you get pregnant from dry sex....i mean if the guy his has penis out but the girl was wearing underwear AND pantyhose...my friend told me that her bf didn't ejaculate but h di earlier when she gave him a handjob but it went in the toilet...then like 10-15 mins later they did the whole penis showing/underwear & panty hose thing.
Please answer she's FREAKED OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She cant be pregnant.
The only way she could have got pregnant, was if he ejacuated near her vaginal area, and some of the semen soaked through the pantyhose, and underwear, and that would be a 1 in 100 possibility.
Your friends safe.
Reassure her of that.
Though, if she plans on going further, go with her to your local health clinic to set her up on birth control, her parents dont have to know.
Hope I helped!

Q: 15/m I've been single for a year and a half now and i am not sure what to do. I have had offers but none of the ones that asked me really appealed to me. Does this mean i should try and ask ones i do want to go out with me? I hate getting rejected it leaves a knot in my stomach. The ones i ask out and reject me are always the ones i cant get out of my head. What should i do?
Maybe no one appealing has asked you, because they think that you dont want a girlfriend, seeing that you havent accepted any of your offers. Or maybe, they like you, but they're like yourself, and their afraid of rejection.

My advice, have a very close friend with you, that you never fight with, and doesnt make fun of you.
Sit down with him, and call the girl of your choice.
Say "Hey, this is -Jake-(example name). I was wondering if you'd like to catch a movie and dinner this friday/saturday night. My treat."
Give her time for her response, and if she rejects you, dont get all torn up about it.
--Accepts say "Thats cool, I'll pick you up/meet you there.
--Denies say "Oh, well I'm sorry to bother you, maybe some other time"
You have to think of rejection in other ways, maybe her parents wont let her date, or maybe she just doesnt feel like she's ready to date.
And when you think of rejection, dont think of it as harmful, think of it as she just wasnt for you.
Hope I helped
& Goodluck with those butterflies!

Q: So, I'm 15, 4'10'', and 93 lbs. We did BMI and Body Fat Percentage in health, my BMI was 19.5, and my Body Fat Percentage was 20. Is that bad, considering my size? I saw kids who were technically over weight with percentages of like, 18-29, so obviously I'm sort of curious. I mean, I've got the common girl issue of the lower stomach being kinda ehh, and I'm a 32 C. Does that make a difference?

Your most definately not fat.
You wear a 32 C. So thats got to be atleast 5 lbs of boobs lol.

Go to www.myvirtualmodel.com & see for yourself that your not fat.
Goodluck with your findings.

Q: Okay...

Basically I'm 18 & have been in a 2 year relationship with my partner.
I DO NOT want any advice saying ''Your not old enough, Your not ready etc etc.''

Because in my eyes, your never ready to become a parent until it happens.

We have decided we would like a child, I'm coming on 19, and I have very supportive and some what well off parents who would be there for me in any situation.

What I am actually asking for is some advice and some signs of pregnancy, coming from someone who has experienced it.

I have joined up to a website that tells me basic dates that are best for falling pregnant, according to my menstrual period, however is there any particular things that may ''encourage'' pregnancy??

Sorry if this is too graphic but..
I had sexual intercourse with my partner on 25th/26th & 27th (today) December, and on the 25th I felt something almost instantly, and that feeling I have carried with me for the last 2 days, its like a heavy feeling in my stomach, and like a constant bloated feeling, is this my mind playing tricks because I'm so desperate for a baby?? Or is it a tell tale sign??

I don't think my chances of falling pregnant just at the minute are very high because I only stopped taking the pill 3 days ago, however I had forgotten to take it here and there beforehand, so the chances of me being completely protected are very little.

I haven't ever felt this heavy bloated feeling (along with the weird pains and noises) before ...

Can anyone help me and suggest things to encourage and recognise pregnancy?

Thank You!
I'm not pregnant, nor have ever been, and theres some questions that I cant answer, but I'm going to answer what I can.
My cousin got pregnant at eighteen, she had a hard time doing it though because she had been on the pill for 4 years.
I dont think your too young, and no one on this site should be able to tell you that your not old enough to make your own decisions.
However I dont think you can become pregnant only being off the pill for 3 or 4 days.
It takes a month for your pills to become active, so my assumption, it probably takes a month or two for them to become inactive.
You said you have very supportive parents, thats a good thing.
When you have this child, if you and your boyfriend cant support it fully, financially wise, then I'm sure your parents will help you, and besides you will support it will all the love that it needs.
I know from the experience, the fright of becoming pregnant, which in your case it isnt fright, its hope.. I felt the same thing though, I felt like my stomach was bloated, and thought it was getting bigger the very next day, when I knew it wasnt. Thankfully, I'm not pregnant, but I hope things work out for you...
I'm sure your not completely protected, where you've skipped pills, here and there, but your still protected.
I encourage you fully. I wish you luck, and hope you get the answers your looking for.
Goodluck!

Q: I am 14 years old and i am 3 months pregnant...as if that isn't a big enough problem i have another big one. I am pregnant but not with my current boyfriend. How do I tell him that im pregnant?
Well, obviously, your allowed alone with a boy, because of your current situation. However, you just need to bring your boyfriend over, tell him you need to talk to him, and its very important, I'm sure your parents know, because your three months. Sit down with him, dont beat around the bush, tell him your pregnant, but its not his. Tell him you DIDNT cheat on him, unless you did, and that you understand on whatever actions he takes.

Or if you cheated on him, tell him you have bad news, and if he doesn't want to continue being with you that you totally understand, because if you cheated, then you should understand.
Tell him your pregnant, and who the father is.
If thats such a good idea.
& maybe consider telling the father, if you havent already.

Best of luck to you and your baby.
Good luck with your boyfriend.
Hope I helped.

Q: I have a pug that is almost a year old, but not quite and I was just wondering if there is anything that I can do with my pug to keep it active, besides playing tug-a-war,walking it,and playing fetch. And maybe something we can do together that will make us 'bond' more as owner and pet.
Feed it IAMS atleast twice a day, nothing too drastic though, not alot of food. Keep water in his/her bowl. Be active with the dog. Play with it, make it happy.
To bond with him/her, when you walk it, dont leave it on a leash, this makes the dog feel tied up.
Give the dog all your attention when with it.
Buy some treats, they dont cost much, and when the dog does something you like, reward him/her, when s/he does something you dont like, dont give him/her a treat all day.
Hope I helped.
Good luck!

Q: i need a quote about someone who was very close toyou dying. most likely about my sister who died very young and i love her so much and i need a quote. thank you.
I'm sorry for your loss
I really like this one...


My sister couldn't be here,
Because she lives so far away.
But I know she wishes she could be,
Since this is such a special day.
And though you cannot meet her,
I wanted you to know.
All about my sister,
And how much she loves me so.
She loved to tell me stories
She taught me to ride my bike.
She surprised me with pink roses,
And taught me to fly a kite.
We used to share fudge sundaes,
and ice cream in a cone.
And though you cannot see her,
I'm not standing here alone.
Cause my sister's always with me
Even though we are apart.
I know because she told me,
She'll forever be in my heart...



Again, I'm sorry about your loss.

Q: After seeing the twilight movie i became very depressed..Edward and bella's love is so strong and he actually cares about her. I really want a love like that but i dont think i ever will. I felt very depressed after the movie..What is wrong with me. I havent had a boyfriend in like 3 years can that be the problem.
Honey, I'm going to be brutally honest.
No one, will EVER, have a love like that. I'm soo jealous of Bella. I've read all four books, watched the movie, unlimited times.
Edward is a dream guy. Completely and totally irrationally perfect. He's flawless, and he's so sweet.
Don't worry though, I felt the same way, like no guy could ever be soo perfect. No relationship will be perfect like Edward and Bellas.
I don't think anything's wrong with you, I just think your another girl, thats just inlove with Edward Cullen, like myself.
Lol.
Hope I helped you.
Goodluck.

Q: i'd like to hear from people who have experience in going away to college while you were in a relationship? what happened? did it work out? my first love and i dated for a year and a half, we were inseperable, then had a BAD break up, were broken up for a year, and just got back together a little over 2 months ago, and everything's perfect again. in the fall, im moving to alabama for college [we're from georgia], and i dont know what to do. he said he is NOT going to lose me again, but i dont know how i feel about trying to maintain a long distance relationship in school. we talked about him moving there with me, but i highly doubt that will happen because he'll be in school here, and i'll more than likely have to live in a dorm my first year. i honestly think breaking up would be best, but i dont want to break up with him. that would hurt us both so much because we love being together. i just dont know what to do, and college is quickly approaching. any experience on this?
I've not been in this situation, so I know that my advice is not what your looking for, however, this coming June, I will be in your situation. My boyfriend is leaving for Nashville, Tennessee, and I live in eastern Kentucky. So I'll only get to see him on weekends =[.
I know how you feel, about not wanting to be seperated, and how you both would be devestated, however, I don't see why you all should break up, if your inlove with this boy.
If everythings perfect, then you should atleast give it a chance, when you go to college.
If you don't know how you feel about maintaining a long distance relationship, you should atleast try. I mean, college will be hard, but going to college and losing someone you love, may be even harder.
I don't know what I would do without my snookums. I just hope you make the right decision.
Goodluck.
I know my advice is confusing, mainly because I'm not who your wanting to hear from, but I think you should atleast give it a try.

Best wishes!
AA
