I have had my fair share of life's lessons and learned from them. I come from a family filled with divorce and family problems so I have a rough idea on how to personally handle things.

As for matters of the heart I can tell when a relationship is or isn't going to work. I understand the importance of communication and give and take after spending around two years in a relationship were I almost ran my ex boyfriend's household and looked after his siblings.

I understand that in certain parts of the world I am not yet of legal age to have a sexual relationship and that in some religious circles it is frowned upon for an unmarried woman to do so. What can I say? I have been in love and I have expressed that love but I have always been careful to avoid any trouble. I know how most contraception works and how the system works so don't be afraid.

I'm a young teen girl and I want to take better care of myself down there. How do i do that safely?? (link)
Use low PH shower gel or ones specially for "down there" such as the 'Femcare' range.


Hi, I have been in a live-in relationship for 4 years. (Both in our 40's) We live in Canada. My boyfriend who likes to drink every night (5 or 6 beers) maybe more on the weekends. My concern is not the drinking right now. Its my job. He likes to invite certain people who also like to drink over to our house in the middle of the week. They come over around 8pm and drink until around 12. I do have a few drinks as well but had noticed lately that it has been affecting my work. I call in sick the next day or I'm exhausted at work and cant function fully. I'm gaining weight and I feel awful. I tried talking to my boyfriend on numerous occasions asking him to hold off during the week and how this affects me. He says he understands and agrees with me then when the next week comes, they call and he answers the phone and lets them come over again. I'm not a big drinker, even on the weekends when I'm off I may just have 1 glass of wine or nothing. I cant keep up with this anymore. My job is important to me and I have people that rely on me at work to do a good job. The only peace I do get is when my job requires me to travel which is once a month for a few days. Where I can get good sleep and rest. I am losing sleep over this, tossing and turning at night worrying. I have turned off the phone on week nights sometimes just so he doesn't answer it. But I hate doing that in case people are trying to get a hold of us in case of emergencies. Do you have any advice? I have no one here to talk to. We live in a remote area in the north. Really small community where everyone talks. I appreciate any advice. Thank you to all. (link)
I think you have to be a bit firmer with your other half and explain the severity of the situation such as what he plans to do if you lose your job and you start to struggle with the bills? Not to mention the emotional problems losing a job can have on a person and is he willing to help you with that? Of course you deserve to have fun and have friends round but not at the expense of your job.


I'm 16, turning 17 in a few days. I have a 1yr old. and I believe I'm addicted to sex. I started when I was 15. I didn't start having actually sex til after my daughter. I have had sex with around 15 guys. I have never had sex with more then one guy at a time but some say they ran a "train" on me. which never happened. I have had sex with a set of brothers but at SEPARATE times, I REGRET IT ! I have had one night stands and regret that also! alot of the dudes I've had sex with were my regrets!! Sex makes me happy, but not all the time. Am I a whore for this?? (link)
It is a common misconception that women who enjoy sex are sluts/whores. Women have just as much right to enjoy sex as men as long as you are responsible and careful especially as you have a child and try and protect him/her from your more adult life-style.


I'm 16 , I hate young dudes . what would be my age limit to date an older dude ? (link)
It depends which country you live in; I have always had a taste for the older man. At 16 your parents will not approve of you dating an older man, I did this and my folks accused me of all sorts of things I wasn't doing.
I'd say you can only have a 2-3 year age gap when you are in your teens to be 'socially acceptable' however love comes in all kinds of ages, shapes and sizes.


How do I figure out what everything is going to cost when I get married? There are so many things to keep track of, and I guess I just need to figure our what the biggest wedding expenses are going to be. Can anyone help? (link)
Make a list of what you intend to have, all weddings are different depending on religion for one thing but the basics to sort out are Reception and if you are paying for everyone's drinks or not. Then move on to the outfits for bride, groom, bridesmaids, best man, mother of the bride, flowers, bouquet,flower pins,cake, wedding rings, photographer, does the church require a donation?


My macbook is 6 months old. Even in just normal usage (surfing the Net, perhaps with a Word document open and iTunes playing), the computer gets too hot to keep on my lap and I can hear the fan blowing kind of loud.

Keep it clean and watch out for the laptop getting too hot and turning off altogether.


I'm 13 n I want to be fucked:(! How can I relieve my horniness (link)
With respect can it wait a few years depending on where you live? I understand that your body is developing and we all go through changes and that is probably all it is down to. Sex isn't everything, I am sure you would rather have a connection with someone before you take that step rather than just anyone. You are only innocent once and once it is gone it is gone and you don't want to look back and wish you had waited.
Please take my advice and wait until your body is more developed before you decide to have sex, you are barely a woman, not very much more than a child.


Hello!

There are about a bazillion books on puppy training out there, so which one do you choose? More than one? I am so lost. Can you share your best dog training experiences with me? (link)
Puppies can be hard to train as it can be difficult to be strict with something that is considered cute but if you are not firm it will never learn. Get as many books as you can depending on the dog breed but take care as one book told me that my Greyhound would not bark or sit...he did both.


Sorry to ask here but I have been through a lot recently and am having a hard time keeping going. :( Do you have any quotes that have inspired you to keep on going when it seems like there really isn't much of a point to trying anymore? (link)
"That that doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

"It will get better in time"

"There are people in the third world worse off"


I am writing a story, and I have cast the villain as a German girl, but none of the names I have tried sound right for her. Can you give me some German names you think are villainous, or point me to like a complete list of all German last names? Pretty please? :) (link)
Von-Mal sounds good to me for something basic, "Mal" meaning bad in German.


Can a relationship survive on not so good sex my boyfriend is 22. I'm not sure if it's because he was in a terrible accident when he was younger but he can't stay hard and if he does get off its not very much. I enjoy sex a lot. Could these become a problem. (link)
Relationships are not just based on sex, there is affection, trust, love, fun and helping each other through good and bad times. I confess that my sexual appetite is greater than my partner's but I do not feel any less about him and we are due to marry in a couple of years time because in the great scheme of things it is not that important as a life without him.


18/f
So here's the thing. My boyfriend just doesn't know how to have sex. We've tried about ten times now. But he just can't put the condom on correctly. We've tried different sizes and everything and he just says its very uncomfortable. He is still a virgin (I'm not)

Obviously I love him which is why I want to help him with this. But idk how as its not like I'm experienced either?
He just can't stay hard as soon as he attempts to put the condom on...

Are there any other contraceptive methods we could try? I have asked him if he's sure he's ready and he said he'd really like to try. I just feel like we both don't really know what we're doing!
(link)
My better half had the same problem with his ex but not with me. Make sure boyfriend is at ease with you and trusts you, try putting it on yourself during foreplay so that he doesn't notice it as much.


Do you have any suggestion for a birthday gift that ALL men like? I don't know him that well, but I want to give him something he will really remember. :) (link)
Most men are like children in that they like sugary sweets say in a keep sake tin or jar with a message in it to make it special.


When do you stick your pinky out when you're drinking? (link)
It is a British stereotype that is false, I have lived in the UK all of my life and eaten in different classes of places and never seen anyone do it.


Is yogurt gluten free? If not, are there special kinds of yogurt that are because I can't have any wheat products at all since I got sick. :( (link)
My nan is ceoliac and she eats muller with no problems.


I would like to know what foods help loose weight :) i feel quite self concious about my weight. I am not overweight but i would like to have a flqt stomach :) (link)
General fruit and veg and keeping an eye on your calorie intake.

Sounds like you were a touch aroused, perfectly normal.


Everyone knows that water is good for you and it helsps you with all sorts of things including your skin. But how much water do you need to drink every day to see an improvement in your skin? How long does it take? Days? Weeks? Thank you :) (link)
Weeks but also generally keeping clean is good for it too.


Lately, I've been having really scary dreams. Once I dreamed that I was watching babies drown, and in another dream, I was drowning in bubbly water. In another another one I had there was this crazy snake-lady trying to kill me. (Anyway, you get the idea) Now I'm scared to sleep, because I'm scared of what I'll dream. They feel really real too, like I'm actually in danger. Please help me! I'm really scared! (link)
You sound like you have a possible water phobia or are a very anxious about something. Try and think about more pleasant thoughts when going to bed, maybe with a warm milky drink. If the problem continues seek medical help as sleep is important.


I just got off my period it was a light period so I've been scared I'm pregnant . Now I just got off my period and I've been having brown stuff in my underwear not alot but what do you think . Could I be pregnant (link)
Periods can change depending on a few factors such as diet and stress levels. Brown discharge is sometimes a sign of a period starting or ending.
