I'm not here to tell you what to think or do, but to give you as much honest, accurate information as possible. If I don't know an answer to a specific question, I'll research it before replying. I won't sugarcoat things; my job is to tell it like it is.

I've got a particular interest in sexual health and sexuality. I know a lot about fertility and pregnancy - and firsthand now, as I've just had twins. I'm also an accredited sexual health worker.

How do you know when you are having an orgasm? (link)
Orgasms. They're different to every person.

In very general terms, a person will experience a building of excitement or pressure - this can be a sense that activity is 'leading' towards something.

Orgasm is that something. It is a release of that pressure, and it is also highly pleasureable.

It can be felt just in the genitals or in other parts of the body. It can be one big wave of feeling, several smaller waves of feeling, tingling, explosive....and on and on and on. Each person experiences them differently.

It may sound cliche, but if you've had an orgasm, then you would know it. It's a unique feeling, and if you're doubting whether it's happened, there's a good chance it might not have happened.


Hello! I am a 21 yr old female and I have never had an orgasm during intercourse. However, I have also never had an orgasm with masturbation. When I was 14 or 15, I began to have orgasms without touching -- usually they happen when I get into bed and roll onto my side. I don't necessarily even have to be thinking about anything to make them happen.
I've shared this with a few of my friends and they don't really believe me. They say that if I haven't had an orgasm during sex, then how do I know I'm having one just by rolling over in bed. I don't know what to say -- I just know that whatever it is that's happening I like it. I used to get "orgasms" like this every night (now I'm taking anti-depressants and don't get them at all).
Are women able to orgasm without any physical stimulation? Is it possible that I'm NOT orgasming in this manner? OR is it possible that I've had an orgasm during sex, but just because it doesn't feel like what I've always THOUGHT was an orgasm I don't recognize it as one? Also, I recently started taking anti-depressants and I have not been able to orgasm (or what I think are orgasms) at all. I know this is a common symptom, but is there a way to get passed it?
I know I've asked a lot, but I'm just really confused! Thank you! (link)
Okay, let's see if I can break this down and answer some of your questions. First, you're right - a common side effect of anti-depressants is a lowering in arousal and an inability to orgasm (in both men and women). The only person who can help you with this is your doctor; some anti-depressents might not affect you this way, or your dosage may be able to be tweaked to help your body function more normally.

As for having orgasms without being touched, yes, it happens. Some women will experience orgasms during sexy dreams, thoughts, etc.

If you had had an orgasm during sex, there is a general sort of assumption that you would have known it. Because you have not felt 'that way' during sex, you genuinely might not have had an orgasm. Equally, you genuinely may have had orgasms without any overt sexual simulation.

Orgasms are uncharted territory, particularly with women. They vary in intensity, how easy/difficult it is to have them, if female ejaculation happens, if they can have multiple orgasms, etc. It's hard to give very specific advice about them because of this.

I understand your confusion, but you are the best judge as to what you have felt - regardless of what your friends say.

The biggest obstacle to helping yourself achieve orgasms is your medication. I would see your doctor as soon as possible - he or she is probably used to people having this problem and should be able to recommend a cours of action that will help. Without being able to physically orgasm at all, it's hard to be able to explore yourself more in depth (emotionally and physically).

Best of luck.


I'm a virgin. I thought I would start out with that.

I am 15 years old and I masturbate sometimes. But the thing is, after I do it, I feel really guilty and stop and don't do it for about a month.

It feels good when it's happening but after, I feel sick to my stomach.

I have never had a boyfriend and I'm not sexually active at all besides masturbating.

People say it's normal but it's not really publically accepted for teenage girls.

I just want to know if it's normal how I feel. (link)
Many women and girl feel this way about masturbation. Religion can influence people's ideas - and many religious systems discuss sex only in terms of marriage, making all other practices 'wrong.'

Society also tends to congratulate boys/men for having sex, masturbating, and generally conquering the sexual world. Women are not given the same messages. They are sometimes told they are there only to please men, and that they do not deserve sexual pleasure in their own right.

This is all crap. Infants often touch themselves, and around the age of 2 or 3 many toddlers engage in masturbation. They have found part of their body that makes them feel good, and they want to explore. Surely no one can say that a child this young is doing anything dirty, wrong, or sinful.

Masturbation is normal and healthy. It may even help you later in life when you start having sex with a partner. If you know what you like, it's easier to tell someone else. And if you're comfortable with your body and your sexual feelings, so much the better!

Best of luck.


Do you think its wrong to be bisexual? (link)
Being bisexual can't be wrong, because it's simply a fact of nature. It's like asking if having brown eyes is wrong.

Some people are strictly homo or hetero, but many other people fall somewhere between the two. You are who you are, and that's the end of the story.

Of course, some people are prejudiced and that can make life difficult. But remember, the problem is their ignorance, not your sexual orientation.


Ok. I'm 14 and I resently had sex with a guy I had never met before. He was around 21. I have rented a book over being pregnant and I have all the symptoms. I took the pregnancy test and sure enough I am. Well anyways I don't know who he is and i'm really scared. I don't know how to tell my parents and I want him to be there when I tell them! Well if you can help me or give me ideas to tell them and find him...Please HELP!!!

I rate 5's on every one
(link)
Having a man who is basically a stranger to you help you tell your parents you are pregnant might not be the best idea. First of all, there's no guarantee this man has any interest in your other than sex. He might run 100 miles per hour in the opposite direction when you tell him.

Next, if he is 21 and you are 14, than that's legally rape.

I understand that you are terrified about telling your parents, but having the guy there won't necessarily make it any easier. In fact, it might make it a whole lot worse.

You'll need to tell them as soon as possible. If you choose to keep the baby, you'll need to start attending doctor's appointments. If you want an abortion, the sooner you have one the better it is for your body. If you want to offer the baby up for adoption, that will require a lot of parental support.

If you don't tell them, your body eventually will. Better to just get it out of the way, as some researchers have suggested that the feelings of anxiety or extreme stress can have an impact on a developing baby.

You can talk to your parents face-to-face, or perhaps choose only to talk first with the one you are closet to. You can also write them a letter.

If you feel you need a helping hand, do you have an aunt or another older woman you feel close to?

I wish you the best.


a couple of people in my family have died in the last 2 years, and some people in my family smoke "a pack a day". i'm really worried that they will get really sick and i won't get to see them again, but i don't know how to express my concern to anyone (link)
There are two main ways to let people in your family know how you feel - talking directly to them, or writing. These can include writing emails, making telephone calls, or whatever you are most comfortable with.

Telling people how you feel can make you feel better, but it's also important to understand that your family members are responsible for their own decisions. While it's reasonable for you to worry about their health, if they aren't willing to quit smoking there's not a lot you can do.

You CAN offer to support them if they want to quit, but other than that the most helpful thing would just be to have open and honest conversations with them.

It can be hard to open up to people, but it's usually worth it.

Best of luck.


Me and my cuzin have been best friends since I was born. He also is really cocky. He always tells me how horrible I am at everything I try. Sometimes I can try really hard to impress him, but everytime he tells me I suck. Two nights ago I rode a mechanical bull and rode it all the way through. Wen my turn was over I got off and he yelled over everybody..."Kelsie you suck!" I about cried. I walked by him and tolled him he was a douche and I never wanted to speak to him again. Last night was a dance and he tried talking to me about how I..I over reacted!!! I told him I was sick of his shit and now we aren't speaking! Wat can I do? (link)
It sounds like you were just getting more and more frustrated and hurt, and you cracked. Ways to prevent this in the future include letting someone know as soon as they start to hurt you...letting out a little bit of steam over time will stop a huge eruption of anger.

You had the right to feel how you felt. If you do not feel ready to talk to your cousin, that's your perogative. The fact that he has tried to talk to you means that he cares, so when you feel ready you might have a receptive audience.

When (and if) you DO decide to talk/write a letter, let him know exactly how you feel when he says certain things. Keep the focus on your feelings and how you perceive things, rather than trying to lay all the blame on him.

It might take him time to change his habits, but once he knows he's been hurting you he has no excuse to not change if he cares about you.

Best of luck.


I know a lot of people can relate to this. My first time was wit my "First Love". We broke up like 4-5 months after my first time. I mean now I regret it or whateva but can I actually get my mind back to thinking like he's not really my first because my cherry didn't bust. He didn't put it all the way in. I mean I really dislike him. Is that bad? Can someone help me to get my mind off of it. Please no DUMB, Smart answers, if you have a smart comment then keep it to yourself because I am already hurting in the inside and to come on here and get jugded by ppl I don't know is even more devastating. THank you (link)
If his penis went inside your vagina at all, then you are not a virgin anymore. This might make you feel worse, but it is a fact.

However, you made a decision that you may or may not have felt comfortable with at the time...and now it seems like you are unhappy with what you decided. While you can't go back and change time, you can try to apply what you've learned here to future relationships - it's a given that every relationship will not last, and that it will hurt when they end...but also that one day you'll find the right person for you. It's a long, bumpy road and you've just hit a very big lump.

How to get over a relationship? Whatever makes you feel best. Pamper yourself, talk to a friend, paint, write in a journal, write poems, learn a new language. All of these things will help vent your emotions, and they will also help time pass. Time will help you gain more perspective, heal the wound, and be ready to move on.

I wish you the best, and no - it's not bad to feel angry or dislike your ex. It's one way people cope when relationships end, and you don't need to feel bad about it.


Hey I'm a guy and was just wondering about something...
I know its normal and not exactly their fault and everything, but when a girl goes through monthly stuff, what are we, the guys, supposed to do. I really don't mind it, but sometimes I feel like I need to help out my g/f with whatever the problem may be...but I can't. Should I just be there to talk and listen? That's what I've been doing so far. I mean I can't think of any good advice other than lie down, take some medicine, try to relax, and stuff like that. Should I try to help, or just stay out of the way? Is there any way I can help or no? I know I don't or ever will understand what it feels like or anything, but I'd still try to help with anything. Will rate, thanks in advance. (link)
It's nice that you're so considerate and caring towards your girlfriend. That alone probably goes a long way towards helping her out, no matter what time of the month it is.

As for periods, every girl is different. Some might get a bit teary, some might feel argumentative, some might feel physical pain or discomfort, and some might be absolutely fine. As a general rule, if the hormones are going to affect your girlfriend, it'll actually happen the week or so BEFORE her period, not during her period.

If you're comfortable asking her, why not see what she'd like you to do. She might want to carry on as normal, she might want you to leave her alone, or she might want some TLC. Ask her during a time of the month when she isn't feeling PMS and can give you an objective opinion. Listen closely to what she says, and then act on what she says if you are comfortable with it.

Because periods affect everyone differenty, the only person who can tell you what's best is your girlfriend.

Good luck!


Hi I'm a 27 year old woman but dress like I'm a lot younger. I was wearing a pair of tight track pants that showed off my figure. They were not slutty, but just the style right now and I also wore a black jacket. Anyways these two older men were sitting on a park bench when I walked by, one man said "that's a little tight".
Also two days ago me and my friend who is 33 (but looks 25) were at Tim Hortons having a coffee. We were sitting outside and these old men were sitting behind us. We were not talking to them but they were eavesdropping on our conversation ( which was about men). When we left they jeered at us and said BYE GIRLS.
Why do I always get this reaction from older men? I am not a slut and not a flirt. (link)
You say you 'always' get this reaction, but I bet you probably are around many older guys every day/week/month who don't say anything to you. It's natural to pick up and focus on the ones that DO, but really think about whether you think these few guys are representative of all older men.

If you feel comfortable dressing as you do, then you'll need to find a way to feel okay about yourself if people make comments that make you feel uncomfortable. You might decide to confront people, or you might decide they simply aren't worth your time or energy.

The fact that you're thinking so much about this might mean that on some level you are thinking a lot about how you dress. Are you happy with it? If so, then rock on! Wear what you want and look fabulous. If not, then think about what you'd like change and how you could do it.

Best of luck.


I'll try and condense this. There's been this guy who I've been chatting to online for years (nearly 3) and we are really, really close and truly do love each other. We are planning to meet soon as well.

But here's my dilemma. He was going on today about some girl who he is really worried about because a guy has been pestering her. He was asking me what to do about it and kept going on about how he thought the guy was objectifying her and she deserved someone great. I finally asked him whether he liked her and he confessed he does have a bit of a thing for her. This is not the first time this has happened either - 6 months ago he liked another girl and it started lots of problems for us. Then he thought he was just confused and it wasn't really a crush at all.

I can't help but think that he would drop me in a heartbeat if a girl liked him back in real life. The other girl he liked told him she didn't like him, and this one doesn't seem to either. I feel somehow I'm just there as a backup. Do you guys think I'm being paranoid? I know we aren't together and I'm really not usually so defensive - I encourage him to have female friends! But I feel really torn up inside over the fact that he likes this girl when he tells me every night that he loves ME. I understand that guys are always going to be attracted to girls even with they are with someone else, but it's really depressing me and I don't know what to do. Should I say something to him? Am I justified in feeling this way? Is it alright for him to do this?

Thanks a lot for your help. (link)
Let me start by saying that I do understand how deep emotions can become during an online relationship. But that's always different than the hands on, daily joys and gripes of a face-to-face thing. Because you've not met in real life, there's not the same sort of commitment that might be had if you saw each other at least weekly and had gotten used to each other's physical quirks and behaviours.

Are you a backdrop? I don't know. I think it's interesting that he does tell you when he likes other girls - whatever he is, he appears to be really honest. People will always be attracted to other people, but it's important that you feel secure that his main committment is to you and you only.

However, that's hard to ask of someone when you don't know what they look like when they chew, how they compulsively play with their hair, etc. If you feel you might be dropped if 'something better' comes along, perhaps you should have a conversation with this guy about your fears, worries...and your hopes.

Honesty is huge in ANY relationship, and you are also entitled to your feelings. Why not try having a discussion? After all, if he doesn't know you are upset, then he can't change anything to make you feel better.

I wish you all the best, and if things work out I hope you meet soon!


Ok. I am a 13 year old girl and i dont know why but when i go to sleep i think about sex a lot i mean a LOTT. I feel like i am the only one that does it. I feel like a porno-freak and i dont know why i do this it kind of comes naturally. Is it normal? I dont have my period yet and can anyone tell me what masturbating means??? i know a lot about sex but i dont know what to do about this. I think that if people find out they will hate me. I dont want to finger myself or anything. I just want to be a normal kid. I dont have a boyfriend and i dont think about anyone in paticular. I just think about sex. HELP ME!Since this was very long i will reat high if you try to help!!! (link)
It's normal to think about sex. At your age, hormones are flooding through your body, the media is always showing sexy stuff, and your friends are probably starting to talk about it more. You're perfectly normal.

Other girls and boys your age are thinking about sex, too, and some may masturbate. Masturbation just means touching yourself in a way that feels good - that might be fingering, touching your clitoris, or anything else that feels good. It's harmless and a healthy way to explore your body. You don't need to tell anyone you do it, but be assured that most everyone tries it as least once!

While starting to think about sex can be scary and confusing, it's best if you have someone who knows what they're talking about to talk to! Your school may have a guidance counsellor or a nurse. Many areas also have sexual health clinics that will see teens to offer advice and support, and there are also fantastic websites on the subject.

Best of luck.


i'm 15 & female, and i think i have a problem, this may be a little long, but i promise i rate high for good answers. I lost my virginity when i was 14, yes i know a little young, please don't lecture. but it was my boyfriend & mine's first time. after that we ended up having sex 7-8 times, within 7 months. but for some reason, i couldn't ever get an orgasm? sometimes, i had to even fake it, just because i was afraid he was waiting too long. i just figured that maybe he was finishing too early or something? But then him & i break up, and i get a new boyfriend, to whom i've had sex with twice. and he knows that my old boyfriend never got me an orgasm so he tries, so hard. and we even last 2 hours, yet he can never get me one either? sometimes i think it's because of the way i masturbate. i can't seem to get an orgasm by fingering myself, but by only rubbing really fast. i don't know if something is wrong with me? is there anything that i can do, to help me get one faster? please help! (link)
If by 'fingering' you mean inserting a finger into yourself, then it's really common to not be able to have orgasms from that. Rubbing your clitoris is often the easiest and most common way to orgasm. There's nothing wrong with you, so relax.

One thing you can do is explain to your boyfriend what women like - and that it's rare for a female to be able to orgasm through regular sex alone. Many require a guy (or herself!) to touch her clitoris, or to give oral sex before or after sex. There are different positions that can also help, as the G Spot can also help women orgasm.

The most basic thing to remember is to relax: you aren't alone or weird. You're perfectly normal. Show your boyfriend what you like, and hopefully that will help.

Being stressed about pregnancy, not feeling ready for sex, being worried about orgasming - all these things can make sex less than perfect.

Best of luck.


hello..i am 16, and turn 17 in february.. i was wondering peoples outlooks on me. i lost my virginity when i was 14 to the first 'highschool sweetheart'.. then i didnt have sex until this past summer. and once i did i was addicted. my sister said it probably runs through the family but im not sure. i have now 'hooked' up with 4 guys, including the highschool sweetheart. thing is, two guys were only when i was totally wasted so i dont know what to think. please tell me your outlook on my situation and why i might be 'addicted' to sex. (link)
While some people are addicted to sex, they are few and far between. It seems to me that you just like sex. As for why? Well, it feels good. That's the common sense answer.

It seems like you might not be very happy with the choices you've made, since you're asking this question. Only you can decide how you see yourself - whether that is as a 'slut', a normal teenager, confident, beautiful, mixed-up...and on and on and on. It's up to you.

You may or may not have been choices you aren't happy about, but that's a human thing to do. From this point forward, you have the ability to choose who you have sex with, when you have it, and how you feel about it. The amount you like sex doesn't run through a family, but if your parents and sister have modelled a certain type of behaviour to you, then it might affect your life decisions.

Best of luck.


I'm glad I can let this out and no one will know who I am or bug me about it, but I really need someone to talk to. I've been broken for years upon years, my elementary school life was alright yet I always seemed to be the loner kid who did stupid things to get attention yet was never acknowledged. When I changed schools, it made me sad that the card I had received from my classmates was only made because we do that to everyone who goes away, that the words they said to me were false and untrue. In my new school, the very first day I was tormented and they hit me with carrots at lunch time and beat me up in recess. During lunch time wen i went to the washroom they emptied out my backpacks contents in the schoolyard and burried my pencils and stuff from my pencil case in the sand box. My closest girlfriend, the last one I had and my second was someone I really loved and was happy with yet that relationship ended and destroyed me even more. Though I finally made some friends in high school, the people from my previous school and others still continued to torment me for no reason it drove me insane and alone. this is a summary of my childhood torments and from those experiences i came to the following conclusion...

I envy those who have good friends, whenever I see friends with photos of each other, hanging out with each other and always wanting to be around each other... whenever I see people who have others that will support and protect them... I feel jealous. In all my years I have never had anyone but my loving family I can fully trust, that calls me instead of me bugging them, that wants to be around me and support me, that would stick with me to the end.. a true friend. I am destined to be alone, to have no friends, and to experience no love. There have been other experiences in my life besides what I described that have affected me so.

I have trouble in my studies, I can never fully concentrate until last minute though I seem to do pretty well. There have been many things I have wanted to achieve and changes i'e wanted to make to myself but I have failed to do so and I hate myself for being so careless, irresponsible, and stupid. I acknowledged that there is no personal reason for myself to exist in the world, besides become someone good so my parents can be proud that they did a good job raising me. I love my family they are the best parents to me and gave me more love than I could ever handle. I can never live up to my parents love, the only way I can repay them for loving such a useless thing as myself is through completing my school and becoming what they want me to be. I also live for children, I want to have children and have them live a good life strayed from any problems that I have already faced myself.

THe problem, I recently got into my second car accident, things are going so horrible and expenses are rising. My parents are already paying so much and are struggling, I am forgetting to do chores and because of that I am just being a freeloader. As for my studies, it seems i've been slacking off, yet I find it so hard to concentrate until it's last minute. Though I try to do things it seems I am just a lazy failure. I failed my parents, I failed myself, I am nothing but a burden withot motivation to succeed. the best solution is my own destruction, but I am too weak, so instead I will leave the house and fend for myself, removing the burden from my family of having such a useless son around. I don't deserve them and surely i've been shown that since the life I lived is proof enough my existence is pointless. Why shold I continue this unhappy life where everyday all I do is become hurt. People think I am a happy stupid kid because i'm always so hyper, yet I put on that mask to hide my sorrows. No matter how good I am to people, no matter how sociable, I can never get what I want or be truly happy. I either am disappointed, left alone, or betrayed and used.... why does life suck (link)
Wow. You have a lot to deal with, and you've obviously been through some things in your childhood that are still having a big impact on your life.

Have you ever heard of a self-fulfilling prophecy? It basically means that what you expect will happen, will. This breaks down to mean that if you feel you'll never have close friends, then you might not until you change your mindset. If you feel worthless and like no one will ever like you, those are the vibes you are sending to people around you. They will pick up on these and act on them, which only makes you less likely to attract vibrant, caring, genuine people.

One solution might be counselling or therapy. It does sound like you have a lot on your mind, and often a good way to help work through these issues is by talking confidentially to someone. Having space to just be yourself - to laugh or cry or just tell your story outloud. Counselling can be difficult, but often it can help people figure out who they are, who they want to be, and how to get from A to B.

Your parents sound as if they deeply love you, and I'm sure they would be willing to help you find a therapist. They only want the best for you, but YOU need to want the best for you as well.

You are worth something. You are a unique person. No one has ever or will ever see the world exactly as you do. Find a therapist and start to explore yourself and your life a bit more - you might surprise yourself.

I wish you the best.


My boyfriend and I had sex last week and my period usally comes on around the 24 or 25. It is the 27 and my period still haven't come on. I have been have cramps and back pain. So am I pregnant or not? (link)
Cramps and back pain are also the signs that your period is coming. It could be late because you're worried about being pregnant, and stress can mess your cycle up.

Wait a few days and give your period a chance. If it still doesn't come, then you're going to need to take a pregnancy test. Make sure you read labels carefully - these tests are checking for pregnancy hormones, and some might have guidelines as to how long you need to wait after a missed period to take it.

Finally, get on some birth control if you are not pregnant. Using condoms AND another form of birth control is as safe as you can be while still having sex.

Best of luck.


Is there a way to turn the color off of my computer when I print things with a lot of color?


Thanks. (link)
Yep, and it's called 'greyscale.'

If you're using Windows, then when you click 'print' a new window should pop up. Near the top should be a button marked 'properties.' Click this, and then click greyscale. It uses less ink and prints in black only.


my friend is so chubby and i want to help her get skinny but she wont listen what should i tell her. she thinks shell get skinny when shes older but the truth is if she keeps on eating like this she will be obese for the rest of her life! (link)
Sometimes being a good friend means keeping your mouth shut. If your friend is okay with her weight and doesn't want to change things, then that's her choice to make. Hearing from you about how overweight she is will only make her feel bad.

Depending on her age, she might actually grow into some of her weight. Puberty and just post-puberty are funny times, and the result can be a slightly awkward looking body.

But whatever happens, it's ultimately up to your friend to decide how she feels about herself. If she's only chubby and still healthy, she might be perfectly happy with her weight, and that's fine.

If she ever does decide she's unhappy and wants to lose weight, then she'll need a supportive and caring friend. So, my final advice? Let her worry about herself in this case. It's admirable that you care enough to try to sort out her life, but her life might not actually need sorting.


What actually IS a thrift store and where on earth can I find one?
I'm English lol so I'm really not getting this and it would help if someone English could explain it to me...no offence if you are another nationality, but an English person will be more likely to be able to give me examples of these 'thrift stores' :) (link)
American thrift stores = English charity shops.


Hey,
I have been asked to consider what subjects I want to do at A Level next year for college. I am thinking about English Language (I have already completed the GCSE and am currently doing the AS level and I enjoy this a lot), perhaps English Lit, Psychology and Philosophy of Religion and Ethics. I'm also doing Childcare as I want to be a nanny. Has anyone done any of these subjects? What are they like? And do you think they'll be relevant to being a Nanny or will look good on my CV? Have you got any subjects to suggest that were a lot of fun or would be relevant? Because I want to have some fun as well as do well :)
Thanks, and please only answer if you are English as people from other countries won't understand our crazy messed up education system :P (link)
If your heart is set on being a nanny, you might want to explore more vocational qualifications. You can go to college to get a CACHE award, you can do GNVQs in Health and Social Care, etc. It might be worth doing some research and/or having a chat with a tutor in your college.

Of course, A Levels are fantastic things. If you want to go to uni and already are doing AS Levels, then sticking where you are might be the best idea. A Levels give you a good chance to explore areas you are interested in - and any A Level looks good on a CV, regardless of subject.

But exploring where you might go AFTER A Levels could be helpful - direct qualifications are always a good way to show your dedication to an area.

Best of luck!
