Calories are a unit of measurement that measures energy. One calorie is the energy it takes to heat one gram of water by one degree C.

As you can imagine, this is a very tiny amount of energy. As a result, most of the time when you read labels on foods, they're actually measures in KCals, or Kilocalories, which are 1000 calories each.

okay well me and my boyfriend have sex alot but we had sex while i was on my period then right when i came off of my period and both of those times he cummed a little inside me beacuse he didnt pull out in time .

i cant remember if your more likely to get pregnant while your on your period , right before or right after your period ? some people say you cant get pregnant if you have sex during your period ? i need to know when your most likely and least likely to get pregnant !

The bottom line is, you COULD be pregnant at any time a penis comes in the contact with your vagina. "Pulling out" doesn't help noticeabley, either. Even if your boyfriend did "pull out", you're looking at about a 7-in-10 chance of being pregnant.

The people who told you that you can't get pregnant during your period lied to you. Get a pregnency test if you're not sure (And in your case, you aren't sure).

Alright so here's the deal I'm female and 20 years old,
I was with this guy lets say "X" for secrecy. Five months, I really felt a connection with him so deep that when I fell or hurt myself he'd be like ohh my hand hurt today and i don't know why... But things started to get hard and we argued a LOT and broke up. The night we broke up he was IMing my best friend and they had umm phone sex? I found out the next day and was so hurt, that I went straight to this guy who I had been flirting with while i was with "X" we'll call him "Y". So me and "Y" we have EVERYTHING in common from music to food to movies etc etc etc we haven't found anything that we don't both like. He told me he loved me and wanted to be with me and I told him I loved him... but today I just feel confused am I doing the right thing? Who should I choose X or Y???? I have no idea. Has anyone else ever been in this situation?

Nobody else can make this choice for you. Try to imagine yourself in the future and see who you'd be happiest with. Although, keep in mind that "Y" is availible and "X" is having phone sex with your best friend.

For the record, you're not really 20 years old, are you?

I need to know what is the status of a girl who has never been penetrated but has been rubbed upon. Does it still mean that she is a virgin? What if she has received oral sex but has never given it. Can this girl become pregnant if the guy came on the area around her vagina.

There is no gray area when it comes to this. No intercourse = virgin. Even if she's been fingered, and her "cherry" has been "popped". If there has never been a penis inside this hypothetical female's vagina, she is a virgin. Oral sex, giving or receiving, has no impact of virginity.

And yes, that is a way to get pregnant. Chances are slim, however. Very slim.

sorry if this isn't the right category but i have a question about my nipples. my one doesn't stick out like the other. its like inside kinda unless i'm cold. is this normal? i feel kinda dumb cause my boyfriend noticed it and everything.

I don't know if it's normal or not. It's happened to me occasionally if that makes any difference.

However, a better question would be "Does this matter?", and the answer to that is no, unless it's hurting you or impairing you somehow.

when a guy eats a girl out, what does he do with his tongue? like i know what he does but does it move around the clit or does it go inside the vagina hole? or both? my boyfriend and i want to try this but we aren't 100% sure.
thanks for the help!

Usually, he moves it around the clit.

There's nothing wrong with "tounge fucking", though. Try different things and see what you like.

Sorry I can't be more helpful or specific. Giving how-to sex advice is a bannable offence.

okay so from what i hear this guy tyler likes me a lot. and i mean A LOT!! And he has a gf which i know not to mess with if he has a girlfriend, BUT i hear that guys like when girls are confident in themselves so could that help me with that situation??

and another thing..everyone is telling me he is a player because he is flirtin with me and he has a girlfriend. I dont think so, but do you??

and some kid pulled a knife on him so tyler and his brother tj fought the kid. Now tj is in a detention center and tyler was grounded. That dont make him a bad person but people are freaking out because hearing that just makes me want him so much more... :]

can you help me?? please??

Talk to him about it. Don't let yourself be a "girl on the side". If he likes you, let him be with you.

Don't worry about his girlfriend. So long as Tyler makes his own mind to dump her for you, you've done nothing wrong. Still, she might not handle the situation as maturely as is called for.

I can't say if he's a player or not, since I don't know the guy. But, if he's willing to change girls like he's changing his current girlfriend for you, it's certainly something to be watchful for.

You've read Orwell's 1984, haven't you? Is that what your screenname is about? I know it's an awfully stupid and intrusive question, but I just finished reading it literally 15 minutes ago, and since you said you were a communist, and the book focuses on a collective socialist government, I was just curious.

It's alright. I don't think the question is stupid or intrusive at all.

Yes, I have read 1984. My screen name isn't a direct reference to it, though. Rather, I consider myself to be just another person, an equal, a Comrade, if you will, to everybody. That's kind of the idea on what this site is based on, in my opinion. People helping other people. There's a strong sense of brotherhood about the whole idea.

Usually for screen names I use "Comrade Dover" (Dover is a nickname of mine, the only one I've ever had) or "Comrade Vokasak" (Vokasak is my surname backwards), but I decided to go with just "Comrade" for advicenators.

Come to think of it. I used to have an old account on here, under the name "Dover", but I was banned for getting pissed off at a few stupid questions in a row and telling someone to just kill themselves.

If you're curious, the ban expires sometime in 2013 or 2014, and I got it back in 2005-2006ish, so don't do what I used to.

im going on one on wednesday. there will be others there but how do i act with the guy?
its the movies.
and since its a schoolnight, my dad is expecting me home earlier than a regular date. actually, i haven't ever been on a regular date.

i am just so lost. and don't know how to act. i am quiet at first and sort of socially awkward! tips please
and don't say "be yourself"
because i have 2 selves so to speak!

Group dates almost don't count as dates. They're more about hanging out than doing normal date things. I'm not saying "be yourself", but do what you would normally do when hanging out with a bunch of friends, and interact with your date on a level that you're comfortable with.

me and my boyfriend are in a long distance realatiionship.. we both want to do like.. phone sex and talk dirty on the computer.. but im not sure waht to say.,. any suggestions? or things that are proven to turn guys on?

No, there aren't any things that are "proven" to turn guys on. All guys are different, and have different tastes and preferances. Find out what your man likes, and jump on that bandwagon.

13/F/UK
I love computers, but, however, not considering Computing as a carrer.
But, i would like too have a website for Teenagers and make it a BIG hit around the world.
I havn't got any ideas of a site that can make wesites for free yet or ideas for names. I've seen alot of teen websites floating around and they look really good and they have staff and members etc.
Any ideas?
Anything will do.

Start with an idea. Without an idea, you've got nothing.

Ok so we went to the movies last night me him and like 5 other people you know we were all just hanging out...and he someone was texting him during the movie and at first I really didn't care but they still kept texting and so I decided to see who it was... and it was his Ex Ashley...now I really don't know this girl I only know what my boy friend has told me about her...She texts him all the time but last night I was kind of wondering what they were talking about and I came in like half way through the conversation and like the first one said something about dropping someone it said the word "Drop" and yeah and the next one he sent and was "idk" and then from her "you promised me you would" Him: "We'll see what happens" Her:"Please" and then the was all like "I love you" he told that to her... and she was all like "oh yeah I love you too!" but see the thing is that I don't know if they were just saying that as friends or what and I think that he might be cheating on me... but I don't know and I don't really know what to do and then after I found out what I know when he tried to kiss me it just felt wrong and I don't know what to do please help...

Confront him.

You should be able to trust each other, which means you shouldn't have to be spying on his conversations and he shouldn't have anything to hide from you.

Edit, in response to feedback:
That's the thing. You don't know. You have a peice of the picture, and although it looks back, you really don't know what's going on. Like I said, confront him, but do keep in mind he could be lying to you.

anyone who has ever been to a young life summer camp , i might be going this summer for the first time, i went to winter weekend but never summer camp and i am just wondering: at the dances and proms and stuff, do people actually dance? like normal grinding dancing? or do people just stand there or dance weird because i know it is lke a christian thing even though no one i know that goes to it is good it just seems like they would be scared to grind in front of the counselors and stuff. so yeah i don't care but i was just curious if people dance like they do at school dances and parties and stuff. probably not as dirty? but idk. and also do people hook up because i've heard of people making out at the camps but i think some people might thinks it's bad? like would people talk about it or do a lot of people hook up like what happens at other summer camps? thanks!

I've never gone to a christian camp, so I can't say for sure, however...

Keep in mind that the people who go to these camps are people too. Chances are, you'll see at least someone "grinding", and you'll hear about people making out and hooking up. It's what people your age do.

16 f, okay so i recently made a demo of my songs and also karaoke songs. i want to add them to my MYSPACE music page becuase hopefully im an up coming artist. so i want to make my page background with a picture of me you know like all the other celebrites have? is it possible? and is okay if i put the karaoke there sung by me i dont want to be sued or anything? i would also appreciate to take the time to ask you guys to request me and listen to my 2 songs i have uploaded, and tell me what you think. www.myspace.com/kittymusiic thanks soo much!!!

Yes, it is possible to put up a picture with you in the background. MySpace editing isn't exactly my cup of tea, though (My MySpace is pretty plain, and I like it that way), so I'll let someone else handle the how-to part.

To the best of my understanding, you won't get sued for putting your songs up, even if they're written by someone else, so long as you're singing them and you're not profiting.

You had four songs uploaded, so I wasn't sure which two I was supposed to be listening to. You have a pretty good voice. You sing better than I do, although granted that isn't saying much. It wasn't my kind of music, though, so it wouldn't be fair for me to say if I liked them or didn't like them.

on macs how do you get it to talk. for example;YOU HAVE A VIDEO CHAT INVITATION FROM akldakdsala

Get it to talk? You mean like, have your computer read you what you just wrote?

I'm not that experienced with Macs, but I believe SimpleText (The Mac version of NotePad) has a function like that.

i have recently having sex whit my gf from 15 ( i am 13 ) but she has some problems whit my penis, because when i got a boner its going like right to my face and it kinda hurts 4 me , is this normal on my age that your penis aims at ur face??? i dont think so please answer my question!!

There are a number of things that can cause a penis to hurt, and there are a number of things that can cause it to point different ways.

If your penis has only recently started to "point", it could be a build up of calium in the cartilage of your penis, or scar tissue on the that doesn't grow any more skin (Possibley caused by exessive masterbation, if that's your thing)

The things that can cause pain are manyfold. It could be your pointing problem causing you to not "fit right". If you're not circumsized, that could contribute, as the foreskin is highly sensitive.

Neither of these two "problems" are really all that bad, and if I were you, I wouldn't worry much. However, do seek medical help if it hurts every time, or if it hurts to the point where it's impairing your...uhm..."functionality".

in my thighs, is there any way to exercise away fat AND muscle?? because i have a very lean frame, but i havnt always been really skinny, so now i have a lot of fat and muscle in my thighs, can i take them both away to get my lean figure back??
Thanks:)

There as established ways to take away fat; staying active, eating right, etc etc.

As for taking away muscle? Uh...
Exercising to get rid of muscle is sort of counterproductive. I've never heard of any methord to get rid of muscle, mostly because I'm sure most people don't want it gone. Sorry.

there was this cute boy in this really boring club with me. we would sit in back at the meetings and talk the whole time. talking turned to flirting. soon enough we were CONSTANTLY texting. he was the one who would start the conversations. he had never done anything with a girl before which i didnt understand considering how attractive he is, then again he is a germophobe. well eventually i started to like him alot, and we admitted to liking each other. he would constantly be texting me and saying cute things but tennis invaided most of his time so we wouldnt get to chill till summer but it was okay cause it was the end of the year. he would aleays go on and on about how strongly he felt and how he didnt really know what to say since he hadnt ever been with anyone but that i was really important to him. like he went over the top a little. things with us werent public at all. finally we hung out the weekend before the last week of school and believe me, he was nothing of a germophobe. we talked about becomming official and the next time we chilled he asked me to be his girl and we ended up doing some sexual stuff... we hooked up, i gave him hand and he fingered me. all of which were things he insisted on. well anyways the next day he had people over and didnt even invite me and then he said we were moving to fast and that we should go back to just seeing each other but not being official yet. i was crushed. the texts continues where he either said sweet things or told me how horny i make him. then i left for camp for over a month. i came back and he no longer wanted me. i was crushed beyond belief. one of my friends who is also friends with him texted him asking why he didnt wanna be with me anymore and he said he never was. he wouldnt talk to me. i hated him. finally we started talking as friends. school ended up starting and i decided to find out the truth from him of why he acted how he did. he really is a nice kid and not one to play games and according to everyone he had really liked me. well he told me he never liked me at all and asked to still be friends. HAH! i cried and i let him affect me for so long thinking i wasnt good enough and feeling used. he hasnt been with enyone else this full year and ive heard more and more about his germophobia. apparently he told some people the reason he ended things with me and him is because of his fear of germs getting the worst of him. i dont know what i think. do you think he liked me ever? did he just use me even though he really isnt that type of guy? if so why would he go out of his way just to hurt me? and why do i want to be friends with him so bad again?

I can't say if he ever liked you or not. From the information you've presented, it makes it sound like he was just using you, or that he's a guy that can't control himself and his labito. I highly doubt he went out of his way to hurt you. However, it's pretty obvious that he has little regard for your feelings. In any case, he definately doesn't sound like a guy who doesn't play games--this germophobia story sounds like absolute crap. Whatever "everyone" is telling you, they're either lying to you or believe his crap just as much as you did.

In my experience, taking "steps back" in a relationship usually isn't a sound idea. For better or for worse, what's done is done, and nothing can undo it. As the great Soviet General Secretary Josef Stalin said to his troops fighting in World War II against the Nazis, "Not one step back, Comrades!" I find the same applys in relationships.

As for why you still want to be friends, I don't know. Typically, girls who have been...ahm..."messed up" (Divorced parents, abused or molested as a child, etc) tend to seek out guys they know will hurt them, or have hurt them before. For example, many notorious mass-murders get hundreds of love letters in the mail while in prison. Note that I'm NOT saying you're "messed up". I know nothing about your past. It's just something worth noting and thinking about. It's more likely you still feel a connection with him for having spent that time together, or maybe he's just THAT good looking. I don't know. This is the kind of thing you need to answer for yourself.

Okay over the weekend our school had this caraval, and me and my friends all met there & hung out. But while we were having fun a classmate of mine wasn't. You see me and her arn't really friends or anything but she's Bff's with my best friend Josh. So after the carnavil. She & Josh were talking, while the rest of us piged out on leftovers. But when josh got back he pulled me aside and said this:
"meg i HAVE to tell you something but i can't. ...Okay if you promise not to tell ANYONE I'll tell you" so I promised" And he said "okay well You know how I was talking to Chelsea (aka classmate) well she told me during the carnivall She got RAPED! She was crying and everything she said it was by some eight grader and he ripper her shirt off an started teasing her boobs, but her dad stoped him. BUT her dad won't beleive her and now she's in BIG trouble. BUT she made me SWEAR not to tell anyone so what do I do?" he told me all that. Should I tell someone or what?

Technically, Chelsea wasn't raped. She was "only" molestated.

In my humble opinion, yes. It's your moral obligation to tell someone, preferabley a teacher or some other school official (Since this was a school event). If you're concerned about staying anonymous, leave a note.
