my bf wants to eat me out & he told me that he was going to but i told him that i thinks its just kind of sick. Am i wrong? Dosnt it smell bad, especially if their down there? I just dont get why they would want to.

It's your opinion. There are some guys willing to do it & others aren't. When you love someone, you'll make sacrafices to make that person happy & feel good. Guys (as well as girls) love being able to have the power of pleasuring their partner. I wouldn't say that you are wrong for thinking it could be disgusting. But usually younger kids don't grasp the concept of why these kinds of acts are shared. But no matter how old you are, you are still entitled to choose whether or not something is on your list of things to do in the bedroom. Only do what you are comfortable with.

What are some good tricks for when you go down on a guy. My boyfriend and I are looking for some new things to try when I go down on him. Please and thank you.

Be spontaneous, catch him off guard, try different positions & different/random places. Vary your speed, tease, bring in stuff from the fridge. Don't be afraid to ask him the little things he likes!

this might not be the best place for this question and im sorry. but im 5'5" and i hate it! my dad is really tall and my mom is 5'8". how do i keep myself from growing. people say vegies help you grow so do i not eat vegies (bc i do eat alot of vegetables) so could someone help me.

There's nothing you can do to keep yourself from growing. Cutting out veggies isn't going to do much & I don't think it'd be wise to not eat nutrients your body needs for that simple theory. Let your body grow & accept the fact that you are beautiful no matter how tall you are.

i want a belly button ring sooo bad. but my mom said no. i need advice on how to get my mom to say yes. i also need some tips like: does it hurt, what EXACTLY will happen, and etc. Plz help me!

What are the reasons behind her answer? You could do the research for her & offer to pay for it yourself. But if her answer is still no, accept it & wait till you're 18. I promise you won't die without one before then.

I got $150 for graduation .. would that be enough to buy a laptop maybee? haha if not it's cool, I just want one really bad. And if it could, where would I be able to get it? And about how much would it be? cause if its like $175 or something or a little more my mom would most likely let me get it.

I don't know where you would find a laptop for that cheap unless you bought it from someone who was selling their used one for a very low price. You can get a decent one for about $600 @ Best Buy, but not much less than that.

I am redoing my room this summer and i have a queen sized bed, and i might get a full instead.
I am looking for really good sites with teen bedspreads on them. I have googled a lot, and i have only found one bedspread that i like (Seventeen seascape). I dont want anything with a lot of flowers. Polka dots are good and so are some stripes. I like these colors for it: Green, orange, pink, blue. (if there is beds with other clors and those i mite like it) does anyone have a any good sites for me to look at?

Try department stores & Target. They actually have a good selection. :)

i think i have a phobia. i cant calm down before presenting stuff to the class. is there anything i can take to relax

That's actually such a common fear that it's not necessary to be on any kind of medication. The only time you should ever consider taking anything is if it's a phobia/fear that interrupts with your daily life. (For example: Stepping outside your house.) Take plenty of deep breaths & practice your presentation down to every line so that you're VERY comfortable with what you have to present. Just keep in mind about 3/4 of your class shares the same nervousness. & that, in the end, none of your classmates are going to grade you. The only one grading you is your teacher.

Hey sam,
I have recently turned sixteen and I am in a long term relationship with my boyfriend (we have now been together for over 19 months). We are both sixteen.
Thing is, whenever he comes round to my house, he is not allowed in my room, so we don't get that much privacy. It wouldn't be so much of an issue but whenever I go round his house, we never get privacy either as he has two brothers and a sister!
I want to ask my mum and dad if he is allowed to go in my room now, as we are both sixteen and been together for ages, but they're wuite strict with this sort of thing so I'm scared. We don't want to have sex or anything in my room, because I'm not ready for that and he is happy to wait until I am. We just want some privacy!
Also, I want to ask them if I can go on the pill to make my periods easier to deal with and so I am on contraception when we do have sex. Again, I am scared to ask them about this, and I don't want to go behind their backs because I repsect their opinion.
What can I do? Help!

There is no other solution other than to ask your parents. You're right - you don't want to go behind their back because if you get caught, they'll suspect you're guilty of something & you might lose all priveleges to hang out with him @ your house. So talk to your parents, explain to them that you don't plan on having sex with him & that you just want your privacy. Tell them that if they don't fully trust you, you'll leave your door halfway open. (It's better than not hanging out in your room at all.) I'm sure they'll consider your wishes as long as you come up on some kind of agreement that'll ease their minds. If they still don't agree with it, all you can do is accept it & wait till you're old enough to move out & make your own rules.

Is it true that guys tend to get more emotionally hurt than girls when it comes to trust?

Thanks

Not necessarily. Everyone is going to vary depending on the person & the situation. In my opinion, girls are more emotional than most guys, so I would assume that they'd be the ones who had a harder time trusting. But then again, most girls are idiots these days & trust anyone & everything. It all depends on the person. But that assumption is definitely not accurate.

Hello ,

Okay lets say you have it with a guy and he has a condum on will it break ? Is it more likely to get pregnanat? Is it safe if the guy wears a condum cuz if anything happens i rele dont want to get preganant.

Thanks ,
Betty.

If you do not use the condom properly, yes it's more likely to break. & yes you're more likely to get pregnant if it's not used right. Of course it's safe if the guy wears a condom, but just remember it's never 100%.

Okay so this may sound strange but i need to ask.

Im white and NOT racist whatsoever. But whenever im describing a person to someone its easy to say he/she is black or white.

But when i say someones black, a part of me inside feels like im sounding racist. Im not sure what to call African Americans in a non-racist nice way.

I will take any anwsers but anwsers from any thats african american would be nice.

You're white & they are black. No one should be offended unless you are using it in an offensive way. Don't feel guilty. No one refers to whites as "caucasions" or "european."

So I'm getting kind of tired of dressing like everyone else. All of the stores have the same things around here. Everyone is either wearing Abercrombie, American Eagle, or Aeropostale. Anybody else have any ideas? Even if you dont think I'd like them.. just throw them out there so it is something I could consider. Thank you :] Any ideas are appreciated.

P.S. 15/F Avg. Body

Try stores like Wet Seal, Charlotte Russe, Forever 21, Target or even department stores. Yes, they are "trendy" stores, but atleast they have a HUGE variety of things you could mix & match to create your own style. Have fun! :)

welll i just got my hair cut. and the lady didn`t layer it how i wanted. is there any ways that i can layer it myself. that are fast and easy ?

Chances are..you will mess it up & it won't be fixable. So it's just better to avoid that situation & go to another lady & see if she can do it the way you want. Perhaps, bring in a picture to make sure you get what you want.

18/f.
My bf and I have been together for awhile. He's my first one and I'm pretty sure he's the one. The farthest we've gone is making out but I think I'm ready to go further. The only thing is is that I'm not experienced nor am I very educated when it comes to sex. He is, but he's very respectful on the fact that I'm not and that I'm still a virgin. We've never even TALKED about having sex yet. I have a few questions that I would like to have answered before I go to him and we talk about the idea of having sex.

Of course we would use a condom. But as far as the second method of protection (because I believe you should have more than one), what would be the best one? Most girls take birth control. How soon should you start taking it before you actually have sex? And once you take them, how often do you take it? I believe there are many different types of birth control as well, isn't there? And how would you go about getting it?

And being tested. Should he be tested for any STDs or anything before hand? Should we both be tested? Where would you go to do that?

Thats all the questions I have but is there any other information that I should know?

I think I'm ready to be with him but I'm still kind of clueless. But even after I get answers to all these questions I'm not going to rush into anything. I haven't even talked to him about it yet so I still have a little while.

But thank you for taking the time to help me :o)

Hi! :) Well that's really good you are looking into this before you jump into anything. I'll get straight to the point as far as your questions.

There are a few forms of a birth control out there - they have the pill (of course), the shot, & the ring.

To begin with - the shot prevents you from having your period for so many months. Although doctors say it's safe to go without a period, I believe we have our period for a reason. (Remember, that is just my opinion.) I know a couple girls who tried the ring & just had too many technical problems with it. Everyone is different, so maybe the shot or ring is good for you & not everyone else. But in my opinion, birth control pills are probably your best bet.

You take them everyday at the same time (so every 24 hrs). It's considered late if you take them 4 hours late. (Example: Say you take your pill at 8am every morning. Then the next day you forgot it & took it at 2pm. That would be late.) To avoid missing your pill, set your phone for alarm to remind you a few minutes ahead of time. That's what I do & I've never missed one pill.

The birth control pills are 99% effective with perfect use (meaning never missed a pill & were never late.) With typical use (ocassionally missing one or two in the week or two before sex) it's about 92% effective. There was a theory that you needed to be on birth control for about a month (before having sex without a condom) to give the birth control time to "kick in." But according to a recent issue of Cosmopolitan, studies show that's not necessarily true & you should be okay the first couple of pills of starting birth control.

Just go to your local Planned Parenthood clinic & ask them what's best for you.

As far as STD testing - absolutely! Both get tested. Even if you know you've never had sex or done anything sexually with anyone. It'll only be fair & safe. That's available at most clinics including Planned Parenthood.

For other information I suggest going to their website.

were getting our yearbooks in a week and i would like to put in my boyfriends yearbook that i want to kiss him(accually kinda make-out) but i dont know how to tell him in his yearbook. im to afraid to ask him in person so i want to put it in his yearbook. we have been going out for almost two months and we havnt kissed yet and im dying to make-out with him.it would be my first time making-out(ive alredy had my first kiss) and for some reason i really want my first time to be with him. can someone give me some ideas about what i could write?i have one idea and that is to put after p.s. im still waiting for my kiss but thats all ive got.thanks to anyone whoe trys!

Don't put something like that in his yearbook. A yearbook is something he's going to look back at in 5, 20, 30 years & it'd be so lame to see something like that written. If you can't communicate with him, how can you have a good relationship with him? Either have the nerve to be able to talk to your boyfriend or just kiss him.

I'm 15 years old and I can't swallow pills. :(
I can swallow pasta whole and recently I swallowed a vitamin that was coated in something that made it slippery so it was easier to swallow but not everything comes like that, of course. And I don't remember how I did that. It's really annoying because I just got these pills but I CANNOT swallow them. I've practiced with tic tacs but even they don't go down. I try putting it in my mouth then gulping water and tilting my head back but it doesn't work. What's wrong with meee?!

Everyone who is capable of swallowing food is capable of swallowing a pill. It's just in your head & something you think about when you really shouldn't. If swallowing it with a lot of water does not work, try swallowing it along with your meal.

is it true that if you dye your hair while on your period that your hair turns green or yellow or whatever?

Noo. False. The only time I've heard your hair turning green or yellow after dying it is if it's blonde & you go swimming (or your hair has any contact with chlorine.) You should be fine!

sorry if in wrong catagory...

i need to buy a cheap digital camera that will just take decent pictures. i don't need some big fancy thing...i need one priced like 100-200$ or something that will just take simple pictures that i can upload to my computer. any suggestions?

I actually just bought my mom a digital camera for Mother's day @ Best Buy. I got her an Olympus 7.1 megapixel camera for $150 & I think it's very good for it's price. But like with most digital cameras, the internal memory will only hold like 5-10 pictures. So you will need to buy a memory card. I think one of the smallest memory cards @ Best Buy is 512MB & holds ATLEAST 100-300 pictures depending on the size of your photo. & that's about $35.
