Has anyone ever had a 5 Hour Energy drink before? I tried one for the first time and have had more suicidal thoughts than ever. I'm also feeling kinda tired and want to go lie back down for a while.

I took it to help study for exams coming up next week, if anyone is curious. I'm not even really sure why I'm asking this, I'm just a mix of being tired and awkwardly erratic, coupled with being more... I don't know, casually suicidal than normal? I certainly don't want to study right now.

I'm feeling the beginning of a headache as well, going to lie down for a while and read responses when I get up if this question doesn't get deleted. I suppose this isn't the greatest of questions, either, sorry for that.

I use 5 hour energy and other energy drinks pretty frequently. The flushed/warm feeling is from the niacin. The headaches and "out of it" feeling are from the caffeine. Caffeine stops you from being too tired, but it also prevents you from storing memories properly. It's fine for taking a test or doing mindless tasks, but you'll have a hard time studying.

Reduce your caffeine dosage next time. Drink only half of the 5 hour energy container. And any suicidal thoughts worth mentioning on Advicenators warrants concern; visit a psychiatrist.

when you get sent spam e-mails..with like it saying hot girls getting cummed on..what if you click on one..will it give your computer a virus?

Sometimes. Sometimes it just leads to an advertisement.

if you can only get STDs from another person transmitting it to someone else.. how did the first STD start? like, why only through intercourse does it get passed? how did the first person somehow get this and it kept on going on and spreading throughout the ages?

They are passed by chance. They just happen to reside in certain bodily fluids. When these fluids enter someone else's body, they also become infected. The virus doesn't do anything to help propagate itself other than existing.

The STDs came about by evolution, like everything else. They mutated from other viruses.

Human HIV specifically came from blood-to-blood contact with apes. By a hunter who was hunting the apes.

Regarding xxlilreddivaxx's answer(which should reappear here in a few days):
-STDs can be spread even with protected sex
-Many STDs can survive for hours or days without a host
-The type of herpes spread from kissing and lip gloss is not an STD. It will only affect your lip area, and might not be permanent.

As a rough percentage.. what are the chances of getting pregnant by pre-cum when there was no penetration, no penis/vagina touching.. just fingers touching lips which didnt enter either

My guess is 1 in 20,000.

Says that organisms that engage in homeostasis have needs, and one of those needs are sex. How does Maslow's Theory apply to asexual people? (Do not crave/want/need sex.)

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs only applies to normal people. Asexual people, Psychopaths, and Buddhist monks are not normal. It's a simple matter of Maslow not thinking of these people when he created The Hierarchy.

well you know how if someone you know/you're having suicidal thoughts you should tell someone or call that hotline or whatever? well is it really that necessary? i myself on occasion have suicidal thoughts/feelings and if somebody did that to me i would honestly feel betrayed and i think it would be completely unnecessary. i'm not a doctor, so i guess i would not know for sure. but if i'm having or sometimes have thoughts about suicide is it really that big of a deal that needs immediate attention? like i don't think about it all the time only occasionally..

Not just thoughts. It's when you're seriously thinking about doing it. When you get to the point of thinking about who you'll leave your stuff to, it's gone too far and you need to talk to someone.

I am looking for advice on a rape victim, keep the kid or not?

16 YEAR OLD GIRL.

Really, it's not the child's fault, they didn't ask to be killed because they were concieved wrong right?
But then again, having the kid will be a daily reminder, and ruin her future.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
ANY ADVICE?



Thank you for the time!

The population is too high as it is, there is absolutely no reason you should allow an unwanted child to be born. Since you are not financially or emotionally ready for a child, it will live a sub-optimal life and will only hinder humanity's progress.

The child is alive even before conception, just the same as every living cell in your body. It is *not*, however, morally wrong to kill it until later. Most people say the third trimester; I would go so far as to say a few weeks after it's been born.

put a pic on your advice collumm??

You can only add one picture, see lauraxomichelle. There isn't any way to add more than one.

If you use my Tri-Star layout:

okay well yesterday i went to the doctors for my check up and they made me pee in a cup ... which they never make me do and she said it was to check for any diseases ( is an HIV/AIDS test done by peeing in a cup?) or could it be a drug test


Thanks i was just curious =)

They're not lying, and they won't just "happen to notice" any drugs you're taking. Don't worry about it.

I've been watching porn on TV for the past couple of nights. Not the whole thing but just segments. Im 16/f by the way. I've never had sex, or even kissed. Im feeling pretty ashamed by it. Does anyone else watch it? Is it a common thing for teens?

Ever single guy you've ever met does, regularly. Probably 3/4 of girls do. Don't worry about it.

how many times does a teenage boy think about sex in a day. im a boy, but its not like im going to count, but im sure some sad psychologist has, so im wandering, what are the guys findnings? jus curious

Not true. See Snopes:

ok, i have a few awkward questions about sex and getting pregnant and no-no juice, and etc.

first of all, is it possible to get pregnant without the man ejaculating inside the woman? meaning, if a man is inside a woman, but pulls out way before he comes, is it possible to get pregnant from the precome?

also, can you get pregnant from semen getting on your vagina, when the man is not inside you?

thank you.

To both your questions, it is possible, but unlikely. I don't usually answer questions like this, but I wanted to clear up the misconception that precum will get you pregnant. It probably won't; precum contains a very small amount of sperm, so the chance of pregnancy is between 1% and 4%. To put that in perspective, 1% to 2% of condoms are ineffective. Protection is always better, of course, for reasons other columnists will surely elaborate on.

is it unnatractive to guys if girls dont shave "down there"? i dont normally shave it all because it comes back all scratchy and it bothers me alot. i usually just cut most of it

Yes, most guys think it's unattractive.

14/f
i have never had sex, but i just think that this is kind of weird.

Why did people wait so long to have sex? like i know the average age is like 16, 17 nowadays, but in the olden days why was it so like freaking sacred haha?

Well in the *really* olden days, the normal age was 13-15. Then Christianity came along saying that you should be married first. In the beginning people got married at 13-15, but for whatever reason the age kept getting higher and higher; and it became the norm, and later the law, for you to marry at at least 18 years old. You should be aware that the US is very conservative on this, in many countries, especially ones where Christianity didn't spread, you're "legal" when you're 13. In a few countries, you're legal when you're 8.

do guys like it when girls shave.. like down there?

Yes, almost always. While they'll say they don't mind, guys really, really don't like that.

My brother recently passed away and my mother and I were discussing suicide and the bible. I am looking to find all references to it in both testament.
I know of a fiew,
old testament Saul
Judas Iscariot

If you can help me to find others it would be greatly appreciated.

Everything mentioning suicide:
http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/says_about/suicide.html
It doesn't say suicide is bad, I don't know where that came from.

what is the age of concent in the us? and is it even if the other person is over 18?

Look at the bottom of this list, it's different for each state:
http://www.avert.org/aofconsent.htm
Both people have to be above the age of consent unless otherwise noted. If the age of consent is 18, 18-30 is fine, 17-18 and 16-17 is not.

okay these guys at my school have been asking everyone what milf means they know because they watched one of the american pie movies but i dont remember anything bout milf...can someone tell me what this means?

Mother I'd Like To F***. Generally it means an attractive older woman.

"Most guys prefer completeley shaved," if not, will they find it gross? Or how about just a little bit of hair?

Less is better. Some guys will think it's gross, most will just see it as a slight turn off.
