I was swimming today and my nipples kept getting really hard when I got out of the water. My crush was at the pool too and I didn't want him to notice because I think it's embarrassing and might give him the wrong impression about me. How can I hide hard nipple when wearing swimwear or bathing suits so I feel more comfortable about myself? I was thinking maybe some sort of tape but I'm not sure if that might work when hiding them when I am in the pool water. Thanks everybody! (link)

I'll answer from a guy's perspective - if you don't ACT embarassed, you won't BE embarassed. If anything, your crush or any other guy will be the one who gets embarassed if they know you're catching them looking at them.
It's not comparable to a guy getting a boner at a public pool. That is an actual lack of sexual control. Your nipples getting hard (in this case) is just a reaction to the cold. Any girl knows that, and so do guys. So don't worry about it - just swim and have fun!

There is a dance coming up this weekend and my boyfriend is going to go with me. I plan to grind with him on the dance floor but I'd really like to give him a boner when doing it. I think it could be fun to make him horny in public like that. This is our first time grinding together and I don't have much experience at it anyway. Is there any certain move or something I can do that will make him get hard fast? :) (link)
|
Just mve your hips into his (or waist if he's much taller)and dance reeeal close. A slow song should work great. Also, move his hand on your waist down a few inches while loking at him and smiling.
If that doesn't do the trick, the boy ain't right.

I'm dating a 25 year old man, I'm a 20 year old woman. We are both very similar in many ways, more importantly though, we've both had bad experiences being in real relationships. We're completely exclusive, but neither of us has admitted or even hinted towards boyfriend-girlfriend status, or anything remotely close.
I stay at his house every night. I spend my days off with him. We do all the couple things, dates, dinners, cuddling, sex. Everything. We have every aspect of a real relationship without all the problems I guess. I don't really even know what's going on, or what to think of any of it.
I want to approach the subject of "us" without actually having to bring it up to him, I almost want to find a way to get HIM to unkowingly start the conversation himself. Does anyone have any ideas on how to go about doing that? Or any ideas/input/insight on this "relationship"? I'm at a loss for what to do anymore. (link)
|
You're dating. You're in a relationship. Both of you are avoiding calling yourselves or each other 'boyfriend' or 'girlfriend,' but that's what's going on. There may even be a sort of magic in not naming it - like it'll go away if you look at it too closely. But it won't, or at least it won't any quicker than it might anyway. Go ahead and call a spade a spade; say "hey, I noticed that we seem to be going out. You wanna make it official? Be exclusive and all that? or do you wanna see other people?"
It might be hard, but you'll have to say some variation of this sooner or later. Get it over with and I think you'll be glad.

im almost 15 my bf is 15 and he's nervous about showing me his penis he says it's small i told him i love him for him i want to please him and do more like give him a handjob but hes insecure how do i get him more confident? how big does a guys penis get? (link)
|
Average penis size is 6 inches. He probably knows this, and is just slightly smaller, so he considers himself "small." But chances are he's in the normal range.
Even if he's not, it's not a big deal. He just needs to know that from you. So tell him again if he brings it up, and tell him he needs to relax! When you guys get to that point, just act delighted with whatever he's got. He can make you feel good any number of ways, and he needs to know that too, when the time comes.

So I'm in college, and I just failed one of my classes. I'm not exactly a spectacular student, (mostly b's, some a's, and an occasional c). My GPA was a 2.945, now it dropped to a 2.2 or something extremely low like that. Problem is, I'm pretty sure my other class grades will be more c's (there may even be a D. Just awful).
Am I screwed? I'm not on scholarship, but I am a junior, and I'll still be in college for two more years. Oh, and do I tell my parents? My parents said I'm going to be taken out of college if I fail anything.
Oh and I do plan to work my butt of for the rest of the time I'm here, really need to get my GPA up. (link)
|
I did my share of screwing up in college. But I also had periods of great success, and I can tell you for an absolute certainty what made the difference: communication. When you do well in a class, it's because you're paying attention, taking notes, and asking questions - in other words, actively communicating with your instructor.
The same principle applies with your parents and the school. Don't let a situation like this fester. Call them, tell them EXACTLY what's going on, and explain what your options are and how you're going to fix it. Talk to an academic advisor about whether you can retake the class you failed, or if you can recover your GPA and the necessary credits without doing that. Make a plan, then execute it.
You can get past this. Talk to your professors, the administration, and your parents to figure out the best options. Everyone makes mistakes; the smart ones learn from them.

Yesterday I've started noticing a mini red bump near my clitoris, and today I felt another to the right of my vagina.
I've only had one sexual partner, and the last time I had sex was 3 weeks ago. Is it possible that I have herpes?
Please help :(
Rachel/Female/16/Australia (link)
|
It's possible, yes. However, since you're 16, I'm wondering how old your partner is and how many people he/she has been with. I take it you're not his/her first. But if they've only been with two or three (young) people, the odds are good you don't have it.
Even if you do, don't freak out. HSV-2 (genital herpes) is EXTREMELY common, and the majority of people who get it don't even manifest symptoms (if you did have an outbreak, it's usually more severe than one or two red bumps). The fact is, if you have a long, sexually active life, chances are better than even that you're probably going to get it sooner or later. And it's not a big deal. You can get tested when you have what appears to be an outbreak.
Good luck, and don't worry too much!

this is hard to say.. but im a cutter. Everytime i get upset, thats what I do.. that or go get messed up, but a razors a lot easier to get.. I cant ween myself from the blade. what do you guys think of cutters honestly ? & what should i do.. my parents know but think i stopped months ago.. ugh... wwhy am i doing this ? (link)
| |
Dear Susie said it best, but everyone is saying more or less the same thing - you have some sort of unresolved problem that you need to talk about - with a shrink or your parents or preferably both. Cutting is very much like anorexia in that it's about mastering your own body - conquering hunger or pain to prove you can control these most basic functions. Oddly, even though you're hurting yourself, it's really about a kind of power. The problem is, that feeling of power and accomplishment can be addictive, and you can end up seriously hurting yourself. Therapy and honest talk can help you learn to get your feelings of power and accomplishment in and from the world outside you, instead of just your own body. Good luck! I'm sure you can get past this and have a fuure with no more scars.

I was married back last June to my wonderful husband. We dated for a couple of years and everything was just like the perfect fairytales you hear about. I know fairytales aren't true though...
My problem is that I have no sexual desire or drive. I don't really care if we have sex or not. I'm fulfilled in all ways without sexual interaction. I don't "get horny" and I've never had ANY desire to even masturbate. We've had sex before but it's not pleasurable for me at all (it isn't painful or anyting either).
My husband is concerned as to why we never have sex. We've been married all of this time and we've had sex just a handful of times (maybe 4 times total). I know that he desires sex and I want him to be fulfilled but it's strange for me.
How do I tell my husband that I don't have sexual feelings? I need to explain to him that the reason I'm never turned-on is because I simply don't GET turned-on by anything at all, ever. He deserves to know why I never desire sex with him, I understand, but I don't know how to tell him this without sounding like a freak. It really isn't him at all, it's me.
We've had a few slight arguments about sex recently because of my disinterest. Since I never think of it, I cannot predict when he might be interested in it. It isn't that I'm not attracted to him either...I think he's a wonderful man inside and out. I just...don't care about sex? I don't want it, really? Should I see a doctor about this because surely it isn't normal, right? Help? (link)

True asexuality is rare. It's worth the time to go see a shrink and see if you have some issue or trauma that's interfering with your sex drive. However, if you make a sincere effort to discover a problem, and you and your shrink agree you can't find any, well, maybe you're a true asexual. If that's the case, you have two choices: 1) Get amicably divorced and make do with friends until and unless you can find another asexual to make a long-term commitment with, or 2) Ask your husband if he'll stay with you if he's allowed to get some on the side. Not telling your husband is NOT an option, and neither is telling him but insisting that he stay in a "monogamous" - i.e. in your case, sexless, marriage.

Well, being honest, I am 16 years old/M my girlfriend is 17/Fm. Any who we've have sex twice now both our first times. The first time we had sex she skipped her period for over month, This time shes late, or at least I think she is. Shes getting a "very light period" so she says, I'm curious if she may be pregnant being as though it took so long for her period to start. I'm not really worried at all, but she is, (She was also worried the first time we had sex.) (Yes we use condoms) But anyway she is like I said earlier getting a light period and I think that means shes not pregnant. She also says, its never been this light before? Help me out so I can put her at ease please? :( Its been around 16 days since sex, and her period skips around a lot. (link)
|
You're right that she's probably not pregnant, but I agree - no harm in getting a pregnancy test. They're not very expensive and it'll put your minds at ease. In the future, you might consider adding ovulation timing - the "rhythm method" - to your condom use. The rhythm method is a relatively high-risk contraceptive strategy by itself, but in combination with condom use it can be pretty effective. And maybe before long your girlfriend can go on the pill! Anyway, good luck.
The 'rhythm method' just timing sex so it's as far away from her monthly ovulation as possible. Ovulation is usually somewhere around the middle of the cycle - i.e. about halfway between her periods - but exactly where it usually falls is different for every girl. There are ways of figuring this out by measuring body temperature and mucus thickness - you can google it. But bottom line, it only IMPROVES your chances of not getting pregnant - it's not foolproof. So add it to condoms.

Okay, recently (Id say for about 2 months) Everytime my boyfriend and I have had sex it has hurt an incredible amount when we start, and after were done, ive bled. Not like ALOT, but its there and its noticeable.
I dont know what to do, we've tried using lube and everything. Could it be somethigns wrong with me? I mean he is alot bigger than im used to...But it didnt hurt when we started having sex, its only been these last 2 months. Which is just so strange!?
What do i do to stop the bleeding and the Hurting everytime we have sex, i want to enjoy it, not be nervous everytime it starts! (link)
| |
Honey, you've got to go to a gynecologist and get this checked out. It's possible that it's psychological - i.e. you're clamping up and not getting wet, so the friction is making you bleed - but it's also possible that you have a cyst or something. See the doctor; and don't worry about being embarassed, they get asked about stuff like this all the time. Good luck!

My best friend is dating an older guy and has been for almost a year now. I know she is a little older than me so I thought she knew what she was doing but they had SEX and now she's PREGNANT at 19! She didn't even tell me that they actually did IT! Well, he's 35 though and now she's all about marrying him so that he can be the baby's daddy on paper too.
I keep telling her that this is a really bad idea because he's much too older for her. My mom is so shocked and thinks it's disgusting that he took advantage of my friend like that and I agree! I don't think there are any real laws against this (is there?!) so I don't think there is anything we can do except try to talk her out of this mess.
What can I do to help her get away from this creepy older guy? I have to convince her that he is NOT good for her. What 35 year old actually goes out with a 19 year old anyway and then has sex with her?! What is my friend thinking ruining her life like this and actually having this baby and thinking of marrying the man? Please help me help her (link)
|
There 's information you don't provide here: 1)Have you met this man? Does he seem like a nice guy who'd really into her? 2) Does he want to marry her also? 3) Does he know she's pregnant? 4) was it an accident on both their parts, or was it a deliberate decision - of hers or both?
I agree that's a big age difference, and there's a good chance that they won't be compatible for the long haul. But there's no guarantee of that. You should know the answers to all these questions before you form an opinion and express it to your friend. There's a child involved now, assuming she's not having an abortion. Your friend needs, at the very least, to form a solid foundation with this man on some basis so that he can be a supportive father for years to come, whether or not they get married.

I read somewhere that all humans have parasites and worms living within them and that they should be removed to lead a healthy life. I am really freaked out by this and I want the parasites out of my body!
How can I remove the parasites that are living inside of me though? Should I see a doctor for some sort of parasite-cleansing or human deworming treatment? How do I tell a doctor that I want to be de-wormed or something without them laughing at me? I'M SERIOUS! (link)
| |
I can't really improve on Xenolan's answer - I can only support the fact that, at least in America, internal parasites larger than microbe-size are quite rare. If you're in the habit of eating a lot of cheap, rare meat or wild game, your odds of getting a round- or tapeworm are slightly elevated, but still small. You can ask to be tested for them, but I wouldn't seriously wouldn't bother unless you're noticing some kind of symptoms. On the off chance you ever do get something, large parasites are easily killed and pass through the system. Don't worry so much!

i'm 14 years old female. i had sex with my boyfriend 4 days after my period we did it with a condom then i gave him a hand job and about a hour later we did it a little without a condom and he didn't cum in my though. is there still a chance i can get pregnant from when he cumed before the 2nd time? (link)
| |
Xenolan is being a little overly scary, but he/she is basically right. Yes, you can get pregnant from what you describe. Buy a test, use it. Assuming you're not pregnant, the next order of business is to SLOW THE F*CK DOWN and think before you have sex the next time. There is NO good reason for you to be having sex without a condom right now. And if you've decided to be sexually active, you should talk with your mom about going on the pill. A pregnancy before you're done with high school - really, I'd say before you're done with at least your first three years of college - is going to slow down your career and life like you wouldn't believe. Be careful, darlin'.

heyy so i have a question that needs to be answered by saturday because thats when the date is!!! This cute guy asked me outt and we've been texting. I only met him once at a dance (but don't worry i know him through friends) so i really only talked to him in person for a little bit and i know he wants to hook up with me this weekend. I mean he seems really into me but we only met once and pretty briefly! I'm just nervous because i've really only hooked up with a guy once, i mean i've kissed guys but never really in a date like situation except one time, where its just us together, one on one all night.
I know he wants to hook up and i do too its just that first of all I'm really self conscious about my body. I'm short but not really thin so I'm worried if we're laying down and i get on top of him I'll just be really uncomfortable same with if he tries to feel me up just because I'm not comfortable with my body. Also I'm worried about being a bad kisser! i mean the last guy i hoked up with didn't have any complaints! But I'm just worried since I only met this kid once and we're gonna hang out and he won't like em or will think i'm a bad kisser.
I know this is stupid and I guess it's just nerves but doesn't anyone ever feel like this or have any advice!? Thanks so muchhhh (link)

I agree with parts of what Ninjaneer and lucydarling are saying - that you certainly own your own body and don't have to do anything you don't want to do, etc. etc. - but they are being just a little sex-negative here. I think you should feel free to kiss this guy if you like him and even make out a bit. Why not? Just wait until you know him a little better before you have sex (with protection!) - It will take a few dates to know for sure he's not a jerk who'll tell all his friends and try to make you look like a slut. So have fun, kiss, touch each other a little, and save the rest for a second, third or fourth date. And be confident! Nothing's sexier than knowing what you want and going for it.

ive been dating a guy for about 5 months and we fool around sometimes like fingering and me giving him a hand job. well he texted me the other night saying that in the shower he saw nail marks and it was scabbed over. i was shocked because i didnt scratch him while i was playing with his thing so i dont know how it got there. can you give me any hints why that would happen and how?
and he also plays with my boobs but recently it gets rough and i end up with bruises, is that alright? can he still fool around with them or not?
any advice would be helpful (link)
| |
It sounds like you guys are being just a little too rough with each other! Make out with the lights on - see what you're doing to him and vice versa. If your hand is too dry and you're going too fast or squeezing too hard, that could do it. Slow down, lube up (spit, pre-cum, astroglide, whatever) and watch that you're not rubbing the skin raw. As for him, he just needs to lighten up, again, watch what he's doing, involve his tongue as well as his hands. Assuming no one's intentionally trying to be rough here, you'll work it out. You're probably both just nervous.

Let me first start by giving you a little back ground information. My ex wife became pregnant when she was 20 and I was 19. Even though it was earlier than we both expected to become parents, we were thrilled and so excited to start our family together. We got married shortly after she gave birth to our son Matt. Soon after that, we had another son, and then a daughter. From my perspective, everything was great. That's why I was so blindsided when my wife came to me 9 months after our daughter was born claiming she wasn't ready to settle down and be a mother with divorce papers in her hand. Almost overnight, I became a 23 year old single father with a 4 year old, 2 year old, and a 9 month old. After the divorce was final, I rarely heard from my ex wife. She had begun living a life that I didn't necessarily approve of filled with drugs and alcohol and, while I wanted to keep my children as far away from that as possible, she was their mother and I didn’t feel like I could entirely keep them away from her. The last straw, however, came when I let my daughter, Alyssa, (who was 6 at the time) stay with her when I took my sons on a hunting trip. I was supposed to pick her up at noon the Sunday we got back. I spent the entire afternoon calling my ex wife’s apartment with no answer. At 5 that afternoon, I finally just went over to her house where I found her front door wide open and her passed out on the couch from mixing a few too many drugs with alcohol. Her neighbor came over to the apartment and told me that my ex wife had taken Alyssa out one night and come home completely plastered. Thank god her neighbor had woken up and decided to take Alyssa back to her apartment. And this is just one example of many. After that, I told my ex wide that I didn’t want her to see our kids anymore which devastated her so much she entered rehab. She got clean and for the past ten years has seen the kids a few times despite my hesitance. My kids and I have been living a great life together away from my ex wife. A few years ago I began dating another woman whom I am now engaged too. She gets along great with my kids and is an amazing person who I know will be a good influence on my kids’ lives. My oldest son Matt is now in college, but Colton (my middle son) and Alyssa still live with me. Since I have become engaged, my ex wife has become crazy about spending time with the two of them. She wants them at her house every weekend and doesn’t want my fiancé to parent them at all. She is trying to tell my daughter all kinds of lies about why she left, and how I am a horrible person for trying to keep them from seeing her. She tells her that the entire thing was my fault and all kinds of horrible rumors about my fiancé, who went to high school with my ex wife. She has asked both of my kids to move in with her. Colton told her absolutely not, but Alyssa is confused about the whole situation and doesn’t know what she should do. I have full custody of them so essentially it is my choice about whether or not she can see them. I don’t want to take them away from my ex wife, but I don’t want to lose them myself. I am still worried that she will resort back to her old ways and put my kids in danger like she has their whole lives. Am I right to not let my daughter move in with her mom? (link)

Um, I already answered this one - it's the 5th one I did. Not that my advice necessarily provided everything you were looking for, but it seems like you may not have read down that far. Take a look at my advice, and if you have any further questions, I'd be glad to try and offer some more ideas. Thanks!

I'm a 21 year old female and my husband and i got married a little while ago a year to be exact. i keep track of the money and were doing well so i asked if we could try for a baby. he said one day but i can't stop thinking about it. i see babies everywhere what can i do to convince him to have a child now?

Oh my goodness honey, don't be in such a hurry. Seriously. You've only been married a year, you're only 21 - now is not the best time to have a baby! It's not the worst time either, granted, but you've got sooo much time to enjoy life, enjoy each other, get to know each other better, take classes, travel... you will NEVER have this kind of freedom and autonomy again. Don't throw it away!
That said, since you know you DO want a baby eventually, make sure you and your husband are on the same page about that. You could even discuss what year you want to start trying. Personally, I'd recommend being about 25 or 26 when you have your first, but that's just me.
So there's my two cents. But best of luck no matter what you and your husband decide!

About how much do you think it costs to re-size a ring that's about a size 9, but needs to be re-sized to a 10 or 11? I also have two smaller rings from when I was younger, they're about size 5 and need to be re-sized to a 10 or 11. Any idea about the pricing? They're all real gold, one is white gold. So I'm not sure if it costs a lot more to add gold onto the ring to re-size it. (link)
| |
I just did this to my ring! It cost me about 45 bucks after tax. I only went up about a size and a half, however. Those ones going from 5 to 10/11, I don't know, probably twice as much or more, especially if they have to add material. Let your fingers do the walking - call jewelers and they'll usually give you an estimate.

15/f sorry if this is in the wrong category..
Okay, so I met this guy on Deviantart (a site where you post artwork and such). We talk a lot, and I think he may be interested in me. I would be fine with this, but he is an adult. He knows I am only 15, but he keeps flirting with me and e-mailing and calls me by all of these cute nicknames. Is that bad? Should I stop talking to him? I dont know what to do. I feel guilty, like I'm doing something bad. But at the same time, I see all of these girls that date older guys. Someone please tell me what to do! (link)
|
The only POSSIBLE way this could work out is if by "adult" you mean this guy is, like, somewhere between 18 and 21, AND you're willing to be pen pals for at least a YEAR or whatever amount of time will get you to the age of consent in your state. However, during that time that you're pen pals and you're underage, your chats have to be strictly G-rated, or this guy could get in a LOT of trouble.
Do you see how unlikely and difficult all of the above is? Hey, he could be a nice guy, but it's really not worth it. Find someone under 18 to chat with (but be careful with them too!) They're out there!

can you contract an STD from giving a blow job?say that you gave someone a blowjob and you swallowed can this make your tonsils flare up and get infected2-3days later or am i just getting the flu? (link)

Erinn the bamf is right - you can get an STD from giving oral sex, and getting tested is a good idea. However, if you're worried about HIV, you should know that a) it's hard to get from oral sex, and b) it takes more than a few days for symptoms to show up. So I wouldn't worry about HIV so much, but gonorrhea, chlamydia or - unlikely but possibly, even syphilis - are possibilities. All of those are curable with antibiotics, however. Plus, don't forget that fear and worry can create symptoms for diseases you don't have! If you're really worried, call some clinics in your town and see who has free, anonymous testing. You'll find someone and can get in and out in no time. Don't stress too much - I bet you'll be fine.
