my bf and i have only had sex twice, but we havent ever really gotten to finish. A) it takes him forever to get it in, and B) his family always calls him down to do chores and stuff even if im over there.

but thats not really the point...i lost my virginity on the 26th of last month and then we did it again today and both times he didnt seem to be getting any pleasure at ALL. i dont expect me to get any considering it just NOW got to where it doesnt hurt as much, but is there something wrong with me "down there"?? like, am i doing something wrong? i have no experience and neither does he, really but all im doing is laying there and i dont think he minds doing all the work. but i dont do oral sex or handjobs.

but like is there something i could do (besides the above) that would make the experience a little more pleasurable for him? is there some medication i can take or something?

or is it because we're kinda young? (we're both 15) or does it have something to do with your "soulmate" or whatever?

im confused and i need answers, so any advice is appreciated!! :)

To me, it sounds like you're both just young & nervous. I highly doubt you're doing anything wrong, so please don't worry yourself over that.

Have you asked him if it feels good for him?

Are you two using lube? That can make things a lot easier and more pleasurable for both of you.

ok this might sound kinda odd, but im a little confused about my orientation.

like. im homophobic, and my friends are always kidding around and saying that im just "scared of what i really am" but i know they are just kidding around.

but the other day i started thinking and my boyfriend and i have sex and stuff but we always keep the covers over us, and i dont really wanna see his penis. ive never seen one and it just gives me a weird gut feeling if i see one. like, you know the feeling you get when you're nervous? well, a little like that, with a side of nausea.

i hate being like this because i really dont wanna be gay and lesbians scare me and i love my boyfriend to death but im just so confused!!

HELP!!!

You really have nothing to worry about.

I'm straight, but I don't like looking at male genitals either, even though I am sexually active. Honestly, I think they're just ugly.

Just calm down. I'm assuming you're young, so it's natural to be a little worried about your sexuality at that age. But by the sounds of it, I don't think you're a lesbian.

whats a good site to see if you have any personality disorders or mental illnesses??

because i want to see if i have bipolar disorder or something like that or schizophrenia(sp) because both of those illnesses run in my family. and im just wondering.

thanks.

http://www.healthyplace.com/site/tests/psychological.asp

That site has some tests, but it clearly says it's for entertainment purposes only.

If you're honestly worried about it, the best thing you can do is see a doctor. Online tests are never 100% accurate.

am i allowed to mix colors when i buy two different colors of hair coloring at walgreens or is it bad and what.

I'm pretty sure certain brands of hair dye will say on the box whether you can or not.

But I've heard of people doing it all the time and they never had a problem with it.

I'm a 17 y/o guy, and have really bad hormones. I'm always horny and never seem to find a way to stop being horny. I masturbate a lot...daily in fact. Watch porn daily as well. I have a hard time with girls because of it. I feel its because i want the feeling of being loved... I'm not close to any girls, so being friends with benefits is not really possible. what should i do? and how should i go about venting? how could i get a friend with benefits?

Most guys your age have the same problem. You're young, so expect to have raging hormones. It's probably happening to almost every other guy you know.

If you want the feeling of being loved, then why do you want a friend with benefits?

There's honestly not much that's going to help you control your hormones. You could maybe get a hobby to keep your mind off of it a little, though, but please don't just use girls as a way to control it. That's really not fair to the girl.

Try to get your confidence up and talk to a girl you like. Be a gentlemen, not a perv, and don't make it all about sex.

Good luck!

18/f

theres a boy at school who just started talking to me and taking an interest in me. the thing is he only really talks to me online apart from the occasional passing comment. we only ever talk about school aswell. i can tell by his actions and stuff that he is interested in me. i like him to but i have no confidence and i dont know how to get to know him more, he has only started talking to me like in the last 2 months.

help?

If he only wants to talk about school, why not try to guide the conversation towards other things, like ask him what kind of music he likes, his hobbies, and things like that. That way you'll know a little more about him.

If you keep having casual conversations like that, eventually you'll start to get more comfortable with each other, so he might actually make a move, or maybe you'll get the confidence to make the first move.

Good luck.

So I like music that is well unknown. But i also like alternitive music and emo and stuff. So if you could give me like bands like that or songs. thanks.

p.s. bands like brokencyde and like maybe family force 5 i like them

Porcelain & the Tramps is good. I really like Mindless Self Indulgence, too.

I love Lacuna Coil and Within Temptation, but they're a little bit different than emo music.

I could name a million others, but I don't really know if you like softer, gothic music, or heavy music, or alternative, or stuff like that.

Me and my fiance are 25 years old. My ex-fiance and I split about 3 months ago. We have three children together, a 2 year old and 6 months old twins. We broke up over money issues, trust issues (from me finding a used condom in his laundry) and me going through some post-partum despression. He still doesn't have a job and comes over to watch the kids while I go to work, full time might I add. This morning when I was getting out of the shower getting ready for work I found a condom on the floor right in the middle of the hallway. I asked him about it and he said it wasn't his. I told him that we both knew it was his and he still denied it, saying that he never used that brand. I was pissed, so I went into my room to dress for work. I knocked on the door and confessed that it was his, duh. I asked him why did he have it and he said that he was saving it for us. We have not been together like that for months, and never used that brand. Why would he have denied it at first if there was nothing to hide???? What do I do? I am so stuck!

To me, it sounds like he hasn't changed much since the first time you two were together. If he didn't have anything to hide he wouldn't have lied.

And honestly, he really shouldn't even be lying to you.

If I were you, I'd leave him before you get your heart broken again. Some guys just never change.

I don't know what version my media player is but it's black by default and just recently, it hasn't been playing the songs on my playlist in order. It plays the song that I pick and then jumps to like the 3rd song or 3rd at the bottom, etc and it's driving me nuts! What do i do? And i didn't click anything ro change the settings, it just did it by itself.

There should be a button with two arrows (one pointing up & one pointing down) under the media player screen. If you hover your mouse over it, it should say either "turn shuffle off" or "turn shuffle on". If it says "turn shuffle off" then click it.

If that doesn't work then I have no idea.

Hello everyone =)

So my boyfriend and I have been having sex for a while, but I still haven't cum. My boyfriend is starting to feel bad, I suppose, because he feels he can't pleasure me enough, though I really think he can. And our last time, he sincerely asked me if I'm trying not to cum, which took me off guard, 'cause I thought it'd be natural, and now I don't know if I have to do something as well.
Is there anyway I can help make myself? I mean, I thought it'd just happen, but do I have to do anything?

Thanks so much!

I'm the same way. I've never had an orgasm during sex. Even though I've never tried it, as weird as it sounds, too, I've heard that it really helps if you play with yourself during sex.

14/f. I've been totally crushing on this hot guy for a few months now, and he's seems like he's also totally into me. That's all great.

The thing is, he's got this older sister who's like 19 (he's my age.) and they're like inseperable!!! I mean everywhere I try to go w/ him, she comes along. And the way they act towards each other is really, really, really creepy. They don't like make out or anything, but they way they hug each other and kiss each other is...not really that far from making out. I have two older brothers, and I've never hugged or kissed them like that! Plus, his sister really intimidates me because she's sooo tall and athletic-she plays center for the college basketball team where she goes! I'm only 5'2", and she's like over a foot taller than me! Also, she doesn't say anything in front of him, but she's like made it clear to me that she doesn't like me and doesn't want me around her brother. When we used the bathroom when we went to the mall last week, she threatened to flush me down the toilet if I kept hanging around her brother!

The guy is so perfect for me-how do I deal with his creepy psychotic Amazon sister that hates me though?

Have you told your boyfriend what she's been saying to you?

Situations like this are really tough, because it's basically family vs. girlfriend. But you really need to just sit down with him and tell him that it makes you uncomfortable. It just seems kind of weird that he'd actually want her to come along on all of your dates.

but im a teen girl and it itches really bad around my vag lately just around it
and im not sexually active and i am so not ready to shave down there
but i dont think i have an infection and i will not at all go for a check up

There are a lot of creams you can buy for that. If that doesn't work, though, you need to go to the doctor for it.

OK so yesterday i went on a date with blind date. It was really nice...we were supposed to go this party. but didn't know what time is was gonna start. well it was like 7...and the party until 9:30 so we parked near his friend house and waited for him to get home(until 10!) the hole time we were just talking about everything. As if we known each other for ever. Like around 9:45 he asked me if i wanted to be his girlfriend. I couldn't believe it i asked him like 20x if he was 4 real. well i said yes cause i felt really good with him...his friend got home and went inside to take a shower wile we were in his car making out! I feel kinda weird sine i never had a real boyfriend i told him to call me today...but he hasn't. so i don't know if he was being 4 real or not. am i his girl friend or did he just want to get me in the back seat. but its not like he got any...we just made out...idk help

I'd say just give him a little bit more time. You two just started dating. I know how nerve-wracking it can be, since it's your first real relationship. I was the same way. Just don't freak out on him or anything. You'll seem way too clingy. I'd say give him until tomorrow and if he hasn't called by then, maybe call him.

15/ F/ Virginia, US
School starts this fall and Im your plain Jane I guess;; one or two best friends, annoying quite critical overprotective older brother, and Im always having a bad hair day. Welll I wanna be a scene kid. Theyre so confident and always absolutely stunning but Im not allowed to dye my hair. My moms always been OCD about it. No joke! And no odd piercings. Thats my brothers rule.

But around here you dont see girls with ginormous hair teased in all directions looking like they survived some big crayola bomb.
The hair IS cut with a side bang, some fringe, little bows, skinny jeans are a necessity, but I guess they mostly dress...indie/boho/beachy chic? I dont know. Any tips on how NOT to be a poser would be appreciated.

Please no rude remarks
if you cant type anything nice, then dont type it at all :D

Please don't try to fit in with the "scene" trend. I know you think it looks good now, but you'll regret it when you're older. I know that's really not what you're asking, but why not make your own trend? Wear what you think is cute and be unique. You don't have to dye your hair or get piercings to stand out, either.

i want to be on a TV show or commercial how can i do that?

You need to look for acting or talent agencies in your area. If you're good enough, they could offer you a contract with their agency. If you're not really good at acting yet, though, try taking some acting classes.

ok well how much does a chocolate box cost well ik there will be a variety of costs but i need to know about how much it will be so i can get one for my bf plz help :D

It honestly does just depend. The prices really vary depending on how big the box is and where you buy it from. My grandma bought me a small box the other day for like $2 or so, if that helps at all.

I'm pretty sure it's something from Resident Evil, but I'm not sure. Anyone know?

It is a song, but the picture is from the Super Mario Brothers games. When Mario gets the flower, he can shoot fire balls.

hi i have raynauds disease and its difficult because no one understands the severity of it. like they all know i have it, i told them when i was diagnosed with it, but they just don't understand ( i mean like my family&relatives). does anybody else out there have it? what do you do to help treat it. can you please just tell me about personal experiences or provide me with some insight on it. thanks so much. oh and please dont tell me to talk to them, because it just wont work,theres a communication barrier between us. so thanks again. really appreciate it.

I don't have raynaud's disease, so I can't really help you with trying to treat it, but I do have a kidney disease called FSGS, and I know how it feels to have to deal with something that you can't really talk to your friends or family about since they don't understand.

First of all, though, have you talked to your doctor about ways to treat it? You can also find a lot of sites with information and possible treatment options for the disease.

And if you want to talk to someone with the disease so that they understand, try looking for online support groups. That's what I did to help me.

Good luck.
