I was wondering the pregnancy percentage for people who use the pulling out method. I know it is unsafe and likely to get you pregnant but does anyone know the percentage?

I don't think it is possible to give an accurate percentage without adding on conditions. Guys can release sperm before ejaculating or pull out too late and the girl might miscarry before even knowing she was pregnant or just plain not be ovulating during usage of pulling out. Sorry if you need it for a health class or something like that.

I am glad these kids have a place to go where they may get some logical advice about sex (and some bad advice too which is sad)

I am just wondering how many of you "adults" think that too many are having sex too early? To me, they know very little about the consequences--most questions are asked after the fact. Perhaps this shows that sex education is not done early enough and it is not effective enough. What do you think?

It's the combination of young age and lack of maturity that is concerning.
I was an early starter, but I'm going on six years in a solid relationship (and about to have my first child). Age wasn't an issue because both my partner and I knew the dangers and were rather well equipped to deal with the emotional parts. However, that's unusual.
I am often surprised how ignorant my younger peers are, even with sex ed. It's not so much that peers give out bad information (even though it does happen), it's that sex is either made glamorous by entertainment or being hushed up by parents stuck on keeping kids as kids (doesn't work). It's difficult to get information untainted by someone's agenda, especially when everybody thinks you're too young to be getting any. Even while trying to protect a younger generation, we do need to remember that teens can be sexual beings too.

Since I was the previous poster where you said and I quote.

"While I disagree with the previous response for using you as a target of personal issues"

You are targeting me...as a previous poster, so thank you very much.

Now here's the question, so you do agree that a 13 year old should have sex, let alone anal sex? Nevermind that you told her how to make it more comfortable.

The purpose of this website is to answer questions people may have, not to bash their choices (whether for good or bad). Refraining from giving an honest answer is not going to stop someone from having sex, in fact it's more likely to set up the person to discover the bad side of sexuality, the hard way.
As to the poster, they do meet the rules of this community. They are of minimum age and did place the question in the "Sex" category. No, I may not care for the age, but that's not the point. The question wasn't if they were doing something appropriate and I'd rather they know the truth than the fluffy answer of "you shouldn't be having sex".

Last night my boy friend and i were havin dry sex and he got some cum on his boxers, but we were both wearing underwear, and some of it might have gotten on my underwear too..is it possible that i could be pregnant?

That depends on how much and how close it got. Provided nothing was actually in the crouch of your underwear, the chance is less than 1%. However, underwear is as good as no protection if some semen got in the crouch area. That is surprising for some people, but consider that sperm is very small and cotton "breathes" (and air isn't an insta-kill of sperm.

For the cramps, you can try eating healthier and drink more water, less caffeine in advance of each period and then take some extra strength or menstrual pain relievers if the pain is still rough. Also, hormone-based birth control can make cramps less severe once you've gone through a few cycles with them (most people, there is exceptions). Your doctor probably can give you the best advice seeing as they know more about you.

Depending on the severity of the nail biting habit, you might need to just keep your nails trimmed and/or put on lotion or nail polish that'll taste disgusting.

Finally, yes anal sex could hurt. However, more lubrication, taking things slowly, and relaxing will help. Most importantly, you need to be mentally comfortable with the act and not only doing it because your boyfriend wants to try it.

While I disagree with the previous response for using you as a target of personal issues, I do agree that it'd be best to separate future questions. That way each question can get the full attention of those who can answer it.

Two questions about pre-marriagal sex... first one, am I spelling it right? I just like to know how to spell things, sorry to waste your time. Second one, before Advicenators, I was always under the impression that pre-marriagal sex was just for the screwed-in-the-head potheads and the sluts/whores. But now I'm looking at these questions, and seriously folks, it's just insane how many people are saying "I've been with my b/f three months and we had sex last night, is that too little time?" or something like that. Are my thoughts on pre-marriagal sex wrong? Note: Smartasses get 1s and will be reported. Give me real advice.

While I find it concerning that people not ready are doing it, I don't think premarital sex is horrible in itself.
I'm no virgin or wife (yet), but I am in a long-term relationship with a caring partner that I know will be by my side through thick and thin. While we have had a pair a sessions involving another person, our attention is for one another. That's how it has been for the last 5 years and we're still going.
However, I do understand where you come from. Teens shouldn't be having sex when they're ignoring the risks and can't say for sure that they'll be okay with it in the morning. Frankly, I'm tired of hearing my younger peers saying they've been with someone for quite a while and what they mean is for two weeks.

my friend is 13 and she had sex with a sixteen year old and she got pregnant because her cheap boyfriend couldn't spare the extra 3 dollars to buy the good condoms and it ripped, so now she's all excited about having a baby and i told its nothing to be excited about and i told her that when your that young and have a baby that its not very safe and you could die is it true?

and by the way i love my friend to death and i have know clue what to say to her about the whole thing and she's mad that everyone is calling her a slut which she is!

The absolute biggest, most important thing for your friend to do is go to a doctor. Multiple studies have shown receiving prenatal care can greatly reduce the chance of complications (such as miscarriage or birth defects). Her doctor should explain the importance of eating right and following healthy behavior.
As to her being excited, let her be. Pregnancy involves a huge hormonal and status shift (regardless of whether it was planned or if it's difficult) and woman can feel a wide range of emotions, even very surprising ones for the situation.
Why is "everyone" calling her a slut? Because she was foolish with one guy? Bluntly, you need to tell people to fuck off. Pregnancy is a major life change and it doesn't matter who's pregnant, there is no reason to bash her. That's rude and stupid.
Yes, she will need to talk to her parents, but no stunts about it. Unless there is a chance of abuse, her parents just may be the best support she has (especially seeing as nobody else has the balls to stand up for her).
And I'm curious, where is the father? He has a legal responsibility to her and the child. By having sex with her, he agreed to at least financially assist in the case of pregnancy.

edit-in: Have her go to www.birthright.org or www.plannedparenthood.org to get information on services if she needs some professional help finding services. If she doesn't have internet at home (or is uncomfortable there), usually libraries allow short usage of certain computers for the internet.

Ohkay, please no stupid answers. But one of my guy friends said that "there is nothing better than to hear a girl moan when ya finger her". does it come natural to moan or do you jus do it to make the guy happy?

There's two questions here...
Yes, moaning can greatly enhance the pleasure of both parties.
No, moaning isn't necessarily what you're going to get.
Many girls do moan to show they're enjoying what is happening. Sometimes they moan to encourage you and/or themselves. Sometimes the moans are fakes. And finally, some girls will make other or no noises.
The only way to know if you're "making progress" is to talk to the girl. Ask her if what you're doing feels good and not be offended if the answer is no.

first time you have sex is it better to have it with a virgin or a already experienced guy?

It doesn't matter. First, it's unlikely you'll know the difference (even "experienced" people can be inexperienced). Second, if you're ready to have sex with someone, you're not going to care if they've done it before, they just need to be willing to share the pleasure.

btw, virgins still can have STDs. How people define virginity differs among individuals and many people think you only lose it with penetration. While this isn't exactly a wrong answer to be had, many people don't realize oral and humping (no penetration but contact) still counts as sexual activity and still counts for possibility of extra stuff being transferred.
