what does xx mean?

cuz when i was chatting some1 wrote that 2 me...??? i didn't wanna ask cuz i don't wanna seem stupid lool (link)
It depends what context its in. If someone says 'xx' when they're leaving, it is kisses, to say goodbye. But not literally kisses lol, cos I put 'xxxxxx' at the end of the message to everyone!
However, if its in the middle of a conversation, it could be a little face that is meant to look like the eyes are screwed up? Or in cartoons, when something is dead or has just been punched or whatever, it goes 'xx' for their eyes.
If neither of these apply, you could just ask them...
Hope this helps.


Does anyone know any other online games like the Hookup? Ones that you don't need to download and work on Mac computers?

The Hookup's on www.the-n.com, if you don't know what it is...


Thanks. (link)
I dont know whether its like the hookup, but www.runescape.com is an online game and you don't need to download it. It should work on a Mac too, but I have a PC so I'm not sure. Hope this helps.


what are some alternative/rock/pop songs about not many people understanding you, or being misunderstood, or feeling kind of alone, or something like that. (link)

i have the sims 2 on xbox and i cant have a baby! ive tried having them "woohoo" in the bed a million times and it never asks me if i want a baby or anything like that. how do i have one? or is there like some cheat where you can? (link)
You have to select the 'Try For Baby' option, because WooHooing won't get the woman pregnant. Despite the previous answer, you sims can be unmarried and still get pregnant.
I hope this helps!


Ok well if anyone has read my other question you would kno that i hav been daing someone for 3 weeks now and he wants to have sex with me. but i didnt know if he was using me or not.

Well he sed that he will wait but he wants to finger me and stuff. Should i let him or should i just want because im scared that he might get the idea that i want to have sex with him soon but i dont. Im going to the movies with him on saturday and he wants to feel my up my skirt and stuff should i let him do that or not? I want him too but idk if thats the right choice. Please help!! thanks (link)
The only person you should be asking this question is yourself, as only you know how you feel and whether you are ready or not.
However, three weeks is a very short time and I'm surprised you are happy to make out with him let alone go past that! I think that by letting him finger you/have sex with you after three weeks will just earn you a reputation (and not the sort that you want) and besides, do you really feel close enough to him to do these things? Is he really that special?
If you want to wait, wait. And tell him that you're not ready, or you just don't want to do this stuff yet. If he's a decent bloke he'll respect your opinions and wait for you, if he refuses to listen to you then he is definitely not worth the hassle, so chuck him right away.


hi,my penis is not streight and its allways one side like left side,i dont know,what to do, is thier any excersice to make streight and is thier any cure for that,please help me and tell me is that thing can creat any consicounsess.is it bad,?tell me
thanx (link)
It is perfectly normal if you have a straight penis like a ruler or a curved penis like a banana. So don't worry! You are perfectly normal, it is perfectly natural to have a curved penis. Therefore you don't need to do any exercises (and I doubt any even exist) to make your penis straight - in fact if you do find some they might even harm you. So, be proud of what you have!


Me and my boyfriend have just kissed, nothing else. We've been going out for a while, and I'm ready to try something more. How do I let him know that I'm ready, without really telling him straight out? (link)
As the previous answer said, you could put you hand on his leg or inner thigh, or you could even go straight to unding his belt/unzipping his jeans.
But personally, I would talk to him about it first. Then you can establish how you both feel about it, and whether you are both ready. If he's not ready, then you will just have to wait until he is.


What do you recommend a couple does after kissing? Like, do you think the next step should be the guy fingering the girl, or the girl giving the guy a handjob? (link)
Not necessarily. Some couples go onto what some people call 'petting' which is the guy feeling the girls breasts, under or over clothes. He can also kiss or lick the girls nipples.
But most couples do go onto fingering and handjobs, then I would say oral sex would come next, then full sex.


Am I the only one alive who thinks it's terrible that kids (13-16) are having sex? I'm only 18, but when I was 13, I was riding my bike and doing karate, not giving blowjobs on the school bus. But thats the norm now, and if you haven't had sex by the time you're 17, you must be ugly or way religeous. What on earth!? Am I the only one disgusted by this trend? (link)
Yes, it can be pretty awful, but you have to bear in mind that older teens (15-17) may be in very long term relationships ie over a year, and then, I think that, doing things more than kissing is ok (but sex is not always appropriate of course).
Age is just a number - I would find it more disgusting if a 19 year old slept with someone after going out with them for a week than a 14 year old giving a blow job after them going out for a couple of years.
Also maturity plays a lot into the matter - you can have an extremely mature 16 year old or a very childish, immature 20 year old.
Overall, I think that judging things on age alone is not fair, because one cannot define other things about the situation ie how mature they are, what their beliefs are and how long coupels have been together.
It takes a lot of thinking about.


i am 14/f and i weigh 129 and i'm 5'4 5'5 okay so i am not over weight but i have excessive body fat around my stomache area! i am going away in about 2 weeks for summer vaca and i want to lose 5 pounds. thats i think enough time. so right now i eat very lightly with carrots furits ect. & drink nothing but water. i run/walk 1-2 miles everyday && go to the gym for an hour every night. well most nights at least. && crunches everyo ther day. i have one more question. everyone says cardio always works to lose weight, thats running biking walking cross trainer right? i just started so if i keep this up will it work?! (link)
Yes this should work, but you should seriously think about what you are doing to your body. If you try to lose weight now, when your body isn't fully grown, it can cause you a lot of damage. So instead of trying to lose weight, why not tone up instead. To get a toned stomach, do about 50 sit ups every night - or if you would rather some variation, have a look online.
Think about what you are doing to yourself. You shouldn't be dieting at this age.


okay so...i recently told the boy i REALLY like that i liked him. we hardly talk..but we know eachother and we both have the same friends. i know..get to know him first. lately, ive been seeing him look at me..either look at me or check me out[my friends also say it too] when i either pass by or he passes by. does he like me or is he considering it? (link)
All the signs are pointing towards him liking you, but the only real way to find out is to ask him. If you can't do that, give it time and wait for him to ask you out.


okay so i've never been fingered before, but i probably will by my boyfriend soon. will i bleed? i use tampons and i have no problem using any size so i don't know if that stretched out the hymen already? also i know this is gross but what if they finger you when you have discharge down there? any help would be appreciated! (link)
You probably won't bleed. In fact the only reason ou would bleed would be if he had super-sharp nails, or if he broke your hymen (and he wuld probably have to be quite violent to do that).
And the discharge is essential. It's the body's natural lubrication, and you get it when you are sexually excited. If you don't know that you shouldn't be doing things like fingering. Besides, your boyfriend will probably find you being 'wet' a turn on - like most girls find it hot when their guy has an erection.
Lastly, make sure you're reasy for fingering. If you don't want to, or even have to tiniest doubt, say so, and if your boyfriend truly respects you and your feeligns he'll wait until you're ready.


When i've worn tampons, and i go to change it ill take it out and when i go to put another one in it hurts because its dry i guess. What can i do? (link)
Wait a little while between using them, or if you're using plastic applicator tampons, you can wet the plastic and that can help them glide in better.

And Toxic Shock Syndrome is a very rare but serious disease. Don't get freaked out by it, because as long as you change your tampons reguarly and you don't use them when you're not on your period, then you should be fine.


hi i need to know what's a tropical forest in Brazil is called and it covers 1/3 of Brazil... and it starts with an "A." (link)
Erm....the Amazon?


I have 2 weeks for my exams. and i have alot to cover. im not a bad student and generally do well. but these are very important exams and recently i have been really distracted. so i dont know what to do. i dont know any of my course and i need to start working and concentrating.

I have lots of friends who want time! and i have daily soaps to watch! and i have a cell taht is constantly rining? how do i explain to my friends that i dont have time? what do i do?

Please help me! its just 2 weeks now! i need serious HELP!

thanks a ton!!

Well, firstly you can forget about the daily soaps you 'must' watch. Exams are much more improtant. If these soaps mean THAT much to you, videotape them and watch them after your exams.
As for your friends, if they are proper friends they will understand that you have exams soon and you need to revise. Surely they can go a couple of weeks without seeing you everyday?
And yeah, turn the cell phone OFF.
If you don't start getting some serious work done, you will either fail or not do as well as you'd hoped in these exams. As you said, they are very important exams, and what is two weeks of hard work to get good grades? Work hard now, you'll have plenty of time to chill later.
