Will i feel it if a guys ejaculates in me?
(link)
No you won't. You will feel the warmth of his semen in you (or not; some women don't). But you won't feel his penis start to spurt, though you may feel the head of it getting slightly larger.


I've been daring my boyfriend for almost 9 months. He's madly inlove with me and a few months ago pressured me into saying "I love you too". We say it daily but I know I don't mean it. The thing is I'm in high school and I feel like I shouldn't be tied down to one person. I just know we aren't right for each other but I DO like him. I Know he'll never break up with me. Atlases not any time soon. Our families are different, he is rude to me severly sometimes, he has no desire for planning for his future, nothing about us is the same. What do I say that sounds not so much like an excuse? (link)
I think you need to sit him down and tell him you guys are breaking up because that is what you actually want. You are effectively friends masquerading as lovers. And you're right, someone your age should be exploring and tying herself down (same goes for college, btw).


I am a junior, 16, female. School is over June 11th at my school. I did not take my SAT's yet, I was just planning to take them maybe three times next year. But everyone is telling me I made a big mistake. I should have taken them my junior year. I kind of don't even understand what they are? Do you think I made a big mistake? Or is it not a big deal that I waited? (link)
It depends on what the university you want to go to requires. I never took them and graduated a state college with honors. The SAT is actually a scam anyway. For me, it is akin for academia to the kind of swindle that the E-meter is in Scientology.

You can take them your senior year, though. No worries. If you're going to JC, I would just pass on them.


Okay well I am a 15 year old girl. I have always been taught to wait until marriage to have sex but I feel like I am always having to masturbate and watch "porn" I really want to have sex(with my boyfriend and i know he wants to also) but I am afraid that my mom will be ashamed if I try to explain that I want to have sex and I want birth control to prevent any unwanted pregnancy! and I dont think vaginal sex will hirt to bad but does anal sex hurt? HELP PLEASE! (link)
Yes, anal sex will hurt and more than when you get your cherry popped.

Just keep in mind that your 15 year old boyfriend is unlikely to be psychologically and experientially equipped to make your first time that pleasant. I respect that you love him and he may indeed truly love you, but at this point, I think you should wait at least another year just to see if you guys will still be together since high school relationships are usually shortlived. You guys can have oral sex (believe me, at that age he will gratefully take a bj in lieu of sex--and btw, if he cums in your mouth, let it drip out if you don't like the taste, don't spit it out) and masturbate in front of each other or you can give him a handjob and he licks your clit.

As for your masturbation habit, no worries there. Carry on. Totally normal.


Ugh. The same old A+ staring back at me. No one to talk to except a stray piece of paper, or a napkin; something that will listen. As a kid I would talk to a ragged teddy bear, which got lost. Everyone hates me. If I start a conversation or try to join one, they move away, wrinkling their noses. Is it really my fault that at eleven-almost-twelve I have the worst complexion in the world, along with the facts that I'm twice their height, can't play sports, and am just a failure. I can't even swim! Everyone believes that I'm not getting picked on just because I'm tall! Tall people can get picked on just as much as short people. I've been so stressed lately, and my dad wants me to be perfect. And then last week I got a C-! I've been too afraid to tell anyone. My life is a train wreck. (link)
Unfortunately, adolescence for some kids can be a very difficult ride indeed. What is especially frustrating is that for all the bs that some children experience as teenagers, after you become an adult none of that will matter.

Here is what is going on: teenagers are bundles of insecurity. And boys are all about domination. So since all boys want to be top dog and don't want to be seen as weak, they project that on weaker, gawkier kids by harassing them. It's really just a sign of insecurity and mental weakness on the bully's part. Not your fault. You can even use it as motivation to do well in school and then it may be that one day your tormentors might have to come to you begging for a job when you're running a big firm.

Bill Gates was a major weakling nerd, the multimillionaire radio personality Howard Stern was about as unpopular as bubonic plague when he was a schoolboy, Ann Wilson, the lead singer of Heart, was a fat kid and a loner in high school and Colonel Sanders was a huge failure, couldn't do jack right, before he hit it big with a chicken recipe in his elder years. Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) and James Hetfield (Metallica) had parents who were majorly screwed up in the head and both were abused as kids. Winston Churchill was pretty hopeless as a schoolboy, too.

So don't get caught up in the horsecrap. Step back emotionally from it and look at things in the longterm. You'll fill out physically and get stronger. The pimples will disappear. Your understanding of the world and how people work will deepen. Thus, better times ahead as long as you keep your eyes on the prize.


What are the adverse/negative effects on your body from taking LSD. I already researched it and all I could find was that it can mess you up psychologically but couldn't find any physically damaging properties. I need to find this for health class. thank you (link)
For someone who has used it heavily, it apparently can cause schizophrenia and, in women, birth defects in their offspring.

For once in a blue moon users, it has no effect over the longterm. The wild card, though, is the chemist/organized crime outfit manufacturing the stuff. You never know what they are formulating it with. I have never taken acid myself (not a good personality type for it, I'm afraid). My brother has used it a few times with no ill effects, but the last time he used it was back in the 1970's. Make of that what you will.


I am a teenage male and I was thinking about shaving my genital area and I was wondering is there a better/easier way to remove hair down there. It seems kind of uncomfortable and frankly scary to put a razor to my scrotum and also do girls want you to shave your butt or rather behind the testicles. Ha sorry wow this is more graphic than I wanted it to be. (link)
I shave my penis and scrotum. Feels nice and clean and some guys think it makes their penis look bigger when it isn't partially obstructed by hair. YMMV.

The first thing to do is to trim it with scissors. Just the main part of the bush.

Then jump in the shower and let warm water run over it for a few minutes. Then take some pre-shaving cream and lather it over your pubic area (do NOT use products like Nair, which will burn). Use a brand new razor and make sure you are shaving with the grain of the hair and not against it. It will take a few minutes the first time. If you don't want your parents to find out, pick the shavings out of the drain and put them in a plastic bag (since it will be wet) and then put it in the trash bin (not your room's waste basket) yourself.

The scrotum will not be cut as long as you use easy pressure. I don't shave my butt because I don't see the point, but I'm not that hairy a person to begin with.

After that, you can shave it once a week to keep it bare there.


IM 13 and my boyyfriends 13 aswel. He wants to show me how much he loves me and he said he would never presurre me.

He has had sex before.
Im sure im ready. im just scared that its going to hurt. (link)
Here is the thing:

Given the rampant immaturity of junior high boys, your relationship with him is not going to last very long. Almost nobody marries their junior high sweetheart. You have a better chance of being struck by lightning and winning the lottery on the same day.

So seeing that, is giving your boyfriend, who is mostly interested in improving his macho rating at that age and "putting points on the board" at that age, your virginity really worth it?

Guys are pretty much genetically programmed for aggression, be it sexual or otherwise. Thus the browbeating you for sex. This will be a good lesson for you in learning to fend him off diplomatically. If he still doesn't take the hint then you have to learn to tell him to go fuck himself. It's all part of growing up.


Is mastrbating bad for grls nd boys of age 16+?? (link)
Thank you to religion for screwing up the sex lives of billions of people.

Yes, masturbation is okay and totally normal. Nobody ever got an STD or a pregnancy from stroking it or diddling it. So enjoy!


me and my boyfriend have been together for half a year now and things are changing a bit. usually we only see eachother over the weekend cause he lives far away but recently we've been seeing eachother every day and ever since we dont get along too much anymore and it seems like he doesnt care about me as much cause things got "boring" so we decided to only see eachother over the weekend again but what else can i do to spice the relationship up a bit and make it more exciting like it was in the beginning? (link)
This is the dating conundrum. Being out on dates with someone is totally different than what happens when you are with them everyday or 24/7. I'm afraid your relationship is pretty much doomed. You aren't as compatible as you thought.

The thing is that when you see each other only once or twice a week there is some build up and anticipation. But when you see them everyday it becomes more routine. You can't have a big event date seven nights a week unless you are rather wealthy and more creative than average. Plus that is just a lot of pressure to put a guy under.

So think about this before you say yes to a marriage proposal.


I am 17 years old and all new to this sex world. i would like to know what "i'm going to eat you out" means. (link)
Actually, the oral sex will be mostly focused on the clitoris and not on the vagina (though the vagina is tasty). While he is licking and sucking the clit, he can insert a couple of fingers and GENTLY stimulate the upper vaginal wall just inside the opening (the G Spot). There will initially be an urge to urinate, but that will quickly disappear and start feeling better and better. You can have both vaginal and clitoral orgasms.

For you, you just need to relax and concentrate on the sensations. Also, every women has different preferences as to what, when and how they like to be licked. So feel free to give your boyfriend directions. Believe me, he will think that is hot. Men love to hear women talking about sex. So don't hold back.


I was wondering how you'd keep your vagina clean. My boyfriend wants to eat me out and I wouldn't mind him doing it, but I just don't want to be dirty down there or smell the wrong way and we usually hook up like that in the afternoon or in the evenings and i'm usually not at home so i just want to make sure that it's completely clean. So any tips? (link)
Just regular soap and water on the outside of the vagina and that's it. Don't douche. It doesn't really do anything and may even irritate the lining of the vaginal canal.

Btw, here is a hint: a women fresh out of the shower smells so amazing. If you guys take a shower first, it's good foreplay and you will smell so killer while he eats you in bed.


Okay well I want to dye my hair but I'm afraid its going to fall out, I dyed it once but the lady didn't know wat she was doin so it came out a lil then I got it done professionally and it didn't really come out so will it come out if I dye my whole head again? I'm african american by the way.. I also heard there are vitamins that help your hair get and stay healthy and strong would it work if I took those & dyed it ..thanks in advance! (link)
African-American women have beautiful black hair. So why so many of them insist on dying it is beyond me. Don't dye it anymore. Just let the color fade naturally to avoid any problems with your scalp and the hair follicles.


The title pretty much says it all. I need to become better at singing for my band. We write songs that are meaningful and Im one heck of a guitar player. How can I become a better singer? (link)
If you really want to learn to do it properly, you will need to find a professional vocal coach. Even well known singers hire vocal coaches to help keep their pipes in top shape.

The problem with trying to learn on your own is that you can fall into bad habits too easily without anyone there with you to correct them, which can lead to injury of the vocal cords, including incurring things as severe as throat polyps (Stevie Nicks and the Scorpions Klaus Meine had surgery for that, for example).


What would you say to someone about how you feel about your bestfriend dieing? (link)
I'm kind of a private person. If it was a mom or dad or sibling or grandparent, I would tell my friends about that. But unless it was somebody the people in question knew, I wouldn't tell anyone about a friend's death. I don't see the point.


I'm talking to a guy who is a little bit older than me, and I am astonished. He and I live in totally different states, but I feel like we have a good connection. He's really playful and goofy and immature, just like me, and he always makes me laugh and has such a sweet, romantic side. I really think I'm beginning to like him a lot. He has told me he likes me a lot and whenever I get scared or insecure of screwing up he assures me to relax.

I just recently got my phone service cut off and a few days ago it got turned back on. We didn't talk for a couple days, and he has said he's been busy, but still texts me back. I took that as a sign to text him. But today he told me I don't understand how busy he is and I got pissy and he told me he doesn't appreciate my passive aggressiveness and if I can't handle him being busy, then he doesn't know what to say. I realize what I did wrong. I got upset for all the wrong reasons because he has a less laidback life than I do and I can't accept that he has other things besides me. I apologized but he never answered. I really feel like I screwed us up. I feel like I made him mad and he'll remember it and not want to talk. I just like him so much I don't know what to do with myself! He's a really amazing guy and it overwhelms me that I could get such a sweet sexy guy. I plan on sending him an apology later on before I go to bed, but now I just feel so upset because this all my fault. Any advice? (link)
There is too much missing here for me. The "passive-aggressive issue came up all of a sudden with little background information as to just what shape it took and what provoked it. It is entirely possible, though, that he has merely heard the phrase and doesn't really know what it means.

If he is getting increasingly irritated at the imposition of your phone calls on him I can understand that to a degree, but that is also due to his failure to communicate when good times to call are or devising a method by which he can tell you on any given day when you can phone him.

You don't say how you met this guy, but one of the pitfalls of long distance relationships is that it becomes too easy to project on the other individual what you want them to be rather than realizing what they actually are in the flesh.

If this thing comes to naught rather than being gutted by it try to focus instead on what you learned. Sometimes it is meant to be and other times it is not.


Firstly. We're both 17.

So my boyfriend had a party last night, and a couple of hours before he went he decided to call me. The call consisted of me asking him if he would please please skip any flirty, snuggly, huggly, kissy dares, because he had been very liberated about that, even when we're together.

His response was basically that there was something wrong with me, that I wasn't all right with that. That "no-one else seems to have that problem but you". Followed by "Why can't I be with you, AND have fun?"

I then asked him how he would feel if I had my lips pressed up against someone elses', and he said he wouldn't mind, which tore my heart out.

He kept repeating "I don't want to ruin everyone's night by chickening out of a dare just because I have a girlfriend", and "why does it have to be either A or B with you..hy does it matter if it wouldn't mean anything anyway."

I'm just very hurt right now, that he doesn't see kissing as a special thing that I only want to share with him, and he replies with "you've been with plenty of people and kissed them too." which is true but only before we got together.

I'm just extremely upset and hurt. Is this normal? Am I over-reacting?

I appreciate any advice/help.
Thank you

He's 17 and still playing "truth or dare"? When I was a kid, only middle schoolers played that.

Why don't you find a boyfriend who acts his age and not like a 13 year old?


things have been rough with us the past few months after a phone convo in which after i stated my weight, she made some rude comments and asked if i felt healthy. later i left an angry message on her facebook and deleted her from my friends list

it's been awhile since all that happened, so i thought maybe things could be forgotten between us.

but i just get the feeling, she really doesn't like me , and in fact, looks DOWN on me.
whenever she calls the house (she lives in another country) she fakely asks how my job search is going, then asks if our mom is there. when my mom isnt there, she quickly gets off the phone, making me afraid to try and make conversation with her.

today i tried messaging her on yahoo messenger, to tell her about some weird job i decided not to take. after a few minutes shes like :p good thing you didnt take that one. i write her some other things, and she just asks me a couple generic questions like "so got any other interviews" then very abruptly, right after i had messaged her something , she writes "got a web cam meeting with liam bbl" [her son] then ceases the conversation.

i felt kind of hurt by this interaction, his ambivalence, and her abrupt "be back later" response.

my whole life i've felt she looks down on me and she's some kind of elitist or something, because she has more friends than me, and i weigh more than her. i feel this is silly for her to think because i am a college student with straight a's and she dropped out of college after one semester to go off to europe to be with some guy she met on the internet, had a baby, got divorced, and went to go live with some other european dude she also met on the internet (abandoned her kid)

i try to be nice, i don't get it. do you think she's just absent minded, or do you think i should just not talk to her from now on

do you think it was kind of rude for her to just say "web cam with liam bbl"

can't talk about this with other people that know her and with whom it would be relevant because they always side with her. (link)
Kiddo, the number one rule about women such as your friend is, "losers like taking others down with them." The best thing you can do is write her off. She is projecting her frustrations on you and you continuing to absorb that negativity is not good for your mental health. I know that sounds cold, but you gotta take control of your life and stop being such a doormat.

Your weight isn't an issue (God, I wish women would get it through their heads that they are genetically predisposed to have some fat on them and, in fact, a girl with a soft body is more fun to hug, kiss and do the wild thing with than some bony thing with no boobs, butt or hips). Don't obsess on it. Just exercise regularly and you're good to go.


Hi, I just wanted to ask a question about bass guitars. I have always had a 'thing' for bass guitars. I think that they are awsome so I previously started to go on youtube and looking up ways to learn how to play bass guitars. I have already decided to get a 4 string bass but I don't know what brand to get. Can someone give me a good brand of bass to get and some websites on which I can buy them?? My price range is close to $200 but I can go up to $250 please no more than that. And prefferably I would like it to be all black. Thanks!! I really appreciate it!! P.s. I am currently playing a trombone so would it be a very hard switch?? (link)
Ibanez and ESP both make good beginner instruments in that price range.

What you need to do is go into a Guitar Center, Sam Ash or some other shop and play different basses and see which ones are most comfortable and have close to the sound you want. GC has a good sized selection, but I also don't recommend that you buy from them since me and friends of mine have had bad experiences with them.

Once you know what you want, go online and use American Musical Supply or Sweetwater (you don't have to pay sales tax at AMS since they are in Delaware) and order it from them. You will also need a cable to hook your axe up to a bass amp and an amp (you can play electric basses acoustically and while you can hear them, anyone standing more than a few feet away won't be able to). I play guitar, so outside of the Fender Bassman amp, which is out of your price range, I don't know enough to recommend one.

The standard bass for professionals is the Fender Precision bass. So once you get your basic technique nailed you can aim to start saving your money for one.

As far as teaching materials, you can order those from Amazon, though learning under a teacher is usually a better way to go (but a lot more expensive, obviously). There are tab books, which show you what fingers on what string for the basslines in a song, but make sure you read the reviews before ordering so that you can ensure that the transcriptions are accurate. There are a lot of tab books out there which are just straight botch jobs, unfortunately.

The good thing about being a bass player is that you will always be able to find a band to play with because everybody else wants to play guitar or sing. So stick with it. It's fun and totally worth it.


I like this boy at my school and we hang out every weekend pretty much and he always flirts with me constantly. I finally got around to telling him that I like him but he said that he just doesn't want a relationship right now. His actions are speaking much louder than those words though. I'm pretty sure that he likes me and I feel like we connect! How can I get him to ask me out already?! By the way I'm 14 going on 15 and a girl:) (link)
Dude is a player. Move on.
