Which sleeping style is more popular in males?
Naked or shirtless&wear boxers (link)
Gunner below is spot on. You don't analyse what is popular and then do it, comfort it the rule to use.

For example, in the summer I sleep with just boxers because its warm. If its mega hot, I will be naked.

In spring/autumn I wear boxers + a t-shirt.

In the winter, i'll wear pyjama bottoms and a t-shirt.

I don't quite know what made you believe that you had to ask what was most popular and then do it. Really don't.


I'm trying to decide between the 16GB Iphone and the 32GB. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance! (link)
It really depends on how much space you use! How much music do you have? And how much space will you need for apps?

If you have an mp3 player of some sort, see how much music you store on there. If not, just check how much of your computer space is music. If most of your space will go on apps, then it really depends if you do games/new/books or whatever!

So like it really does depend on you and your needs. Obviously go for the best you can afford, but no point spending money on GB's you wont use!

But 16GB seems to be plenty for many people that I know.

Hope I helped :)

I've decided to buy myself a Nintendo 64 from Ebay as a Christmas present to myself. My old 64 broke years ago, so I completely forget what type of things I need/should have for it. I vaguely remember something about expansion packs. What are they/what do they do?

Also, if anybody could list other things I need/should have besides the console, controllers, and games that would be great. Game suggestions would be nice, too.
(link)
Make sure you have all the cables etc. I remember having a rumble pack, an expansion pack, a transfer pack (to play gameboy games on). You can get a dance mat too, but there weren't many dancing games on.

I loved all of the Pokemon games! I remember having 'WCW' (a wrestling game) and James Bond games were amazing. I had things like Armageddon 64, Mission Impossible, and some dinosaur shooting game but I didn't play them as much.

I say the best option is to go to a game shop or website and just see what looks good/what you remember. I see them everywhere for around $4 each max!

But here's a great wikipedia link:

Hi guys, this question is just one that im wondering about. I made a deal with my mom about me getting a new piercing. I can get my tongue or my belly button. i'm not sure which one to get. Neither of them are to seduce people, i just really like them both. But which one should i get? i just want to see what people have to say about it. thank youu! (link)
Do the belly button. I find the tongue to be trashy.

That way, at least you can show it to people only when you want to, rather than people being forced to notice it every time you open your mouth.


how do you know if she really is cheating on him (link)
You only know by asking.

A girl can act differently because a variety of reasons. The best way is to talk about it.


Alright, so i had an ipod touch(w/o camera) and the touch screen got ruined. I plugged it up to the computer and i synced (sank?? Idk.) it. All that worked and all my current music etc. Are on my itunes. (But idk how to get to my apps i have put on there through itunes? so how do i do that?) ANYWAYS: i'm getting a new ipod(w/ camera) for christmas, so my question is: Can i plug up my new ipod to my computer and sync all my apps and music onto it so i dont have to go back and buy all new ones/start over? I know i can wih music but what about apps? If i can't, please explain why and if there is a way to get around it...if i can please say how. Thanks so much!! (link)
Yes you can. Like you say, simply plug in your new ipod, and sync it to your itunes.

You can access your apps on itunes by the option at the top. It will say "music", "pictures", "videos", "apps" etc etc etc.

Just click apps.

Hope I helped :)


I've heard that if guys eat alot of fruit their cum tastes sweet .. Is this true? Anything else that changes the taste to make it taste good? Lol (link)
Fruit such as pineapple and mango help to make it taste sweet. But you need to eat it on the day, a few hours before.

Avoid red meat, fatty and spicy food, smoking, and salt in excesses which don't help.

Keep in mind that semen will never taste amazing. It won't be bodily chocolate flowing from your penis. It'll just be more bearable. I hear its something that one must get used to. Being a straight guy, I wouldn't know.


Okay so my mom is all old fashion and doesn't let me do anything. But I really want to dye my hair. She says it will damage my hair so I'm like FINE whatever! So then I found out about dying my hair with kool-aid but she still wont give in I'm soooo mad about it. So what should I do I'm 12 I'm not a child anymore! (link)
"I'm 12 I'm not a child anymore!"

Of course you are! You're 12! You're ATLEAST 6 years from being an adult. When you are a child, you are incapable of making long-term sensible decisions. That is why when you are 18, you are an adult and can make such decisions. Until then, you have to abide by your mothers rules.

If your mother says you can't dye your hair, then don't dye your hair. An adult understand that it is being done for their own best interest. A child complains and moans and gets upset and replies with "FINE whatever!".

Kool-aid doesn't seem like a good idea: its not exactly natural. I say you wait. You're 12: you're not supposed to dye your hair, and it does damage it (kool-aid or not).

I don't suppose this will be the advice you're looking for, but that's reality for you.

Good luck.





How do you make cum taste better? (link)
Avoiding red meat, and smoking can help, and also eating sweet fruit such as pineapple, as this will make it taste sweeter.


I just bought this tonight; http://www.lushusa.com/shop/products/hair/henna-hair-dyes/caca-marron-mama
I've never dyed my hair before, and was against it for years. But for about a year now I've been wanting to dye my hair a more richer/auburn red color.
Naturally, I have red hair. It looks brown in the shade, but orange in the sun; http://tinypic.com/r/2mfmamw/5
I was going to keep then henna in for about an hour in a half, maybe two hours to get the richer/auburn-y color I want. But I wanted to ask others for their opinion.

Also, is this permanent? Or will it eventually wash out after a few months? (link)
It will eventually wash out, depending on how often you wash it, usually after a few weeks, so its great if you just want to test it. If you don't like it, wash it a few times and it will start to run out. Head and Shoulders is a good shampoo for taking out hair dye.

In reference to the length of time you should leave it, I recommend that you follow the instructions. The dye itself is described as a chestnut, and so will be a dark brown rather than the auburn you want. The problem with some types of henna hair dyes is that leaving it in for too long can make your hair orange. As in bright orange (like the fruit). I don't know if this is with all hair dye, or just some henna ones that my friends have tried, but its definitely a possibility.

My advice to you is to leave it in for the recommended time, and see what colour you get. The chances are that you probably won't get a henna dye that gives you auburn, as most natural authentic henna usually is just to dye your hair a dark brown-black, or orange if that's what you want.

So use it for the recommended time, and if it doesn't work, try and find a new one that does. If you have a LUSH store near you, you could ask as their staff are usually very friendly and knowledgeable. Alternatively, you could e-mail them before you buy the product, asking if they have any advice.

Hope I helped :)


How can I take better care of my body to keep everything smelling good? (link)
You should shower/wash everyday at least once. At least twice in a hotter climate preferably with a perfumed shower gel/soap. My favourite is Bitter lemon and ginger.

Try to shower rather than bathe. When bathing, the water is dirty and stagnant. A shower uses fresh flowing water. Also use hot water.

Use deodorant or anti-perspirant, and personal, feminine wipes for such areas.

Also drink alot of water to flush out the toxins which release such smells.

Also avoid fatty and spicy foods as such foods can release bad smells.

Hope I helped :)


worried after i went to the restroom and saw a slight trace of blood on tissue when i was done
(link)
This can be all sorts of things such as hemmeroids, a little tear, or something worse such as bowel cancer.

Chances are that it is an anal fissure:a tear or rip in the anus or skin, and it is common. This is usually accompanied by pain in the area, and is made worse by dehydration and hard stools. Hot baths, a high fibre diet, and stool softeners may help.

This condition usually heals with time, but may re-occur again, and there are products for it such a ointments etc.

But the best option is to see the doctor if you are worried about it: Like i said, it may be worse, and no-one can fully diagnose it over the internet.

Hope I helped :)


Hey how heard is it to download songs to a mp3 player? My sister sad i'm not old enough to download thing to my mp3 player. In been four months and she's had not got then time. Or when she hs it she does not fell like doing it. If it's easy I doing at my self! (link)
It really depends on what kind of MP3 player you have. A normal MP3 player usually just uses drag + drop. So you copy the music from the folder it is in, to the folder for your MP3 player (after connecting it to your computer via a USB cable).

If you have an iPod, then you need to install iTunes, and then add the music to your library. Then you just sync.

The instructions are available widely online, for either iTunes, or any other type of MP3 player. Your best bet is to check the instruction manual, or just google the model and make.

Alternatively, post the make + model on this question for more detail specific to the mp3 player.


I am 19/f and my bf is 17. I graduated high school this past year and had no choice but to move (another long story) and so we are in a long-distance relationship. We are both very faithful and much in love but I have been Having this problem lately... He has a crappy phone so I can't talk to him ear to ear on the phone, all we can do is text. Well when he finally texts me we don't talk much. I try extremely hard to carry conversations with him but the majority of his responses are yea, idk, what, why?, lol, or smiley face. It's like he doesn't know what to talk to me about and I have brought up the subject and we will have a understanding and he will change for maybe a day or two but then just goes back to texting me one worded messages. I just don't know what I can do or say to keep him talking and making sure our relationship isn't going dull???

Thank you, One Word Annoyance

P.S. Would like to not only have advice from girls, but also if any guys can answer please do! (link)
20/m

I used to be like that (your boyfriend). But if i'm being quite honest with you, it was because I was bored in the relationship, and I didn't really like the girl I was with any more.

I'm not necessarily saying that, that is what is going on, but you should definitely talk to him about it.

And also try to have conversations about things where the answer can be open. e.g. 'how was school?' instead of 'was school good?'

Good luck, and I hope I helped :)


What is it whenyou have a sharp pain in on the right side of your stomache ? And what can i do about it? (link)
No-one on here is a doctor, and so wouldn't really be able to help to in great detail. Even if there was a doctor, it would be impossible to diagnose such a general issue without seeing you and asking.

Things like this depend on other symptoms such as other pain, faeces,swelling, temperature, etc.

Your best bet would be to go to a doctor. Pain in the abdomen can be serious, but it could be nothing. Just check to be sure.


how to stop masturbauting, i just fed up by trying many ways but i could'nt give me some tips to avoid this... (link)
There really isn't a reason to stop. You may think that it is wrong, or unnatural. But it is perfectly normal, natural, and healthy. There really is not reason to stop unless your life is being affected by is, e.g. if you never go out with friends because you are busy masturbating.

So yeah, if its that serious, seek help. If not, carry on and enjoy.


I heard that i need an espresso tamper to go with this product. the product does not come with one, and in order to make good espresso is needs one. what measurement should i get to fit this machine? thanks! (link)
I say you just use a handheld tamper, maybe a 49mm one. Not expensive at all. All it will do is compress the coffee, and so even if it is too small, just move it about. Its hard to know what size without having the basket directly in front of you. You could just contact Mr. Coffee though, and ask. Maybe they do one that fits the machine perfectly. I haven't seen one however.

But just measure the basket, and see what size fits. Make sure you buy an aluminium/steel one, not plastic.

Hope I helped :)


Okay, I know I should have respected his privacy, I feel bad about it, but I was just so curious! My older brother (I'm 14, he's 19- almost 20) is my best friend. We are super close, I love him more than anyone else in the world, and we tell each other everything-- EXCEPT things that involve our love lives (kissing and sexual stuff.) We never talk about that kind of thing because it would be too awkward. My brother is the nicest person in the world, and I would never have expected him to do some of these things... even though I guess he's old enough.

Anyway, my mom instructed me to read his texts if I got the chance while he was home from college, because she said that she should know what he's doing. He left his phone downstairs today, and to my horror, he and his girlfriend had been texting about how he "made her underwear wet and sticky" and how much she loved his "crisp, hard dick." Ahhhhh!!! I was actually horrified. I did not mention these texts to my parents or brother, nor do I intend to, but I am honestly emotionally scarred. I can't look at my brother the same way. I mean, I know people his age do stuff like that, he doesn't know what I've done with my boyfriend ( nothing like that!) but still. I'm just having a hard time coping with this. He's the sweetest, most innocent kid. I don't exactly know what advice I want... just something that will hopefully make me feel less disgusted and traumatized. Haha. I don't know how far this means they've gone... Ugh. (link)
If you go and do something stupid like that: invade your brothers privacy because 'your mom told you', then you deserve whatever you get. Its wrong and illegal. Get over it.


All right so me and my boyfriend having been dateing for about a month now. We have kissed and I let him feel me up while we were making out. Now though it seems he "hints" toward wanting to do more. Like when he is touching my chest, he will move his hand down and kinda linger on my belt. I know what he wants and he knows I want to take things slow, but I feel guilty when he doesn't get what he wants(my past b/f's made me think we had to do things). I eventually give in and end up feeling like s*** afterwards. How can I tell him no and stick with it? My self-esteem is not that high do to past experiences. I am always the one who has to say no. He has never said no, or "well we don't have to". (link)
Hello :)

I'll deal with the 'I love you things first'. The problem with this is, he was probably lying. Either that, or he doesn't know what love is. Love doesn't kick in after a couple of dates. It takes years! Now that's is love. Lust, or liking someone a lot has no boundaries. I think (to be honest) from where I'm standing, he must have said it to get one step closer to having sex.

But you have the power to say no, if you don't want to! You're perfectly within your right to do so! And if he cannot accept that, or forces you, then he is not right for you. You should not have to settle for someone like this for whatever reason.

But do explain that you don't want to, and that you're not ready for that.

Good luck, and I hope I helped :)


Ok, this sounds kind of stupid and weird, but every day (almost) my friend says in spanish(shes NOT spanish) "For why are there no more green bathrooms, you cocoroach!?" And i wanted to have something to say back next time she says it. I decided on "What did you do with the purple swimming pool you jack rabbit?!" And i need to know how to say it. Please help me and pronoinciations would be helpful-i dont know to much about pronouncing spanish. Thanks! Any advice would help. Oh and this probably fosnt matter but i am 11 years old (link)
¿Qué hiciste con la piscina púrpura que Jack Rabbit

You just use google translate. Enter it into google translate, and then it has an option to speak it to you so you know how to spell it.
