Our puppy is 8 months old now, just got fixed this last week. He's a boy, and a smallish dog. He's been fully housetrained from about 3-4 months old.

Over the last month or so, he's been defecating but NOT urinating inside every once in a while, in one room in particular. We let him out every hour or two, so that's not an issue. He gets punished for it (often we don't catch him in the act, though, since it's in a room we don't often use), and we clean it up with a special animal smell removing cleaner.

Any ideas as to why he might be doing this? Or how to stop it? Until we figure something else out, he's being crated full-time with bathroom breaks. Is this the right thing to do? I'm worried he'll regress and start doing all of his business inside.

Thanks in advance for your help. (link)
spend as much time as you can in that room with him so you can catch him at it. put newspaper by the door of the room and when he goes to poop/pee - dont tell him off! Just quickly place him on the newspaper by the door. after 2 weeks of this, he should know to only go on the newspaper in the room, then simply move the newspaper to just outside the open door and make sure he keeps using it. praise him a lot when he goes on the paper. over a few weeks gradually move the newspaper closer and closer to the back/front door where you want him to go until it is outside the house. then when he knows its there he will scratch or whine to go out. after another week or two remove the paper entirely and he should still scratch to go out.

It's important that you dont tell him off for pooping/peeing if you didnt catch him in the act as even if you take him to the urine/poop he probably wont understand why he has been bad.

Okay I'm 15 and I'm female though i don't feel like one I'm pansexual. I hate being i girl i don't even think like one and it makes me cry sometimes cause i feel like my life has been a mistake i was born the wrong person...i talked to my mom about this but it didn't help and my stupid boyfriend is a jerk about it. And i want to break up with him cause there is an age difference and also a lot of problems i was end up in fights with my mom over him and having to deal with my gender problem isn't helping either. I need to find out how to break up with my boyfriend and how to cure this need for being a boy. Can u help?? (link)
First of all, don't panic, many people feel this way, more than you might think!

You are still very young and it may be that you aren't producing enough oestrogen (the female hormone) at the moment.

However, if you have felt like this a long time then perhaps you are really a boy inside, but were just born the wrong sex. It really does happen.

It sounds like you could be Transgendered, meaning ''People who were assigned a sex, usually at birth and based on their genitals, but who feel that this is a false or incomplete description of themselves.''

Try searching Transgendered online and find a support forum, they know a lot more about this than I do and can help you find out whether you are Transgendered or not.

This site is a friendly, non-judgemental and annonymous way to talk about how you have been feeling.


About the boyfriend, I think you may need to have a chat and tell him that what you are feeling is serious, it's not some lame joke. If he still won't listen then you need to tell him straight that you want to spend some time apart, perhaps just a break so that you can figure out what you want and who you are. If he is right for you then he will see you're serious and start getting supportive!

Hope this helps, chin up sweetie, don't forget - you are NORMAL x


i was wondering .. i seem to cum really fast no matter if im masturbauting or having sex. I see guys on pornos lasting so long. How do some guys last longer than other guys? im 17 m btw (link)
That's what I was going to say =]
The other thing is that there are a lot of ways you can last longer. If you masturbate you usually aren't wearing a condom where-as during sex the condom will generally make you last a lot longer. During sex if you are straight into the sex you probably will climax quickly, so use lots of foreplay and your partner will most likely do the same. If your partner is teasing you with lots of different things then you can have all of the pleasure without the climax and then when you do have sex it won't feel like as quick as it did before. The other thing is to try out plenty of different positions as some will lead you to climax much sooner than others.

I am trying to be more green and I had found some dryer sheets that I really liked from a company called Full Circle. The dryer sheets were eco-friendly and did an extremely good job on my clothes. I really loved the fresh scent that I purchased. Well, I moved from the store that carried this Full Circle brand and I don't know any other dryer sheet brand that is eco-friendly...any suggestions?

It was a girl that sang it and it was along the lines of she walked into a grocery store i believe and she saw her ex there and he was somebody else and she said something in the song like i hope you dont do well and you two deserve each other. Thats all i can remember :(

-Thanks in advance (link)
Kady Malloy - Wish you the worst


I saw you at the grocery store.
Oh, you both looked happy.
Picking out the usual.
She's a carbon copy
of everything you lost,
of everything I'm not.
I guess you just forgot
how to pick 'em.

If she's the one I've heard about,
I'm disappointed.
If she's the reason why you left,
I'm not impressed at all.
Well, this looks like the end.
Yeah, we can still be friends.
Congratulations.

Let me be the first
to wish you the worst.
'Cause I think you deserve each other.
Let me the curse
that creeps under your skin
until your heart caves in
and you wish she was me again.

And again, and again, and again.

Well, someone had to tell the truth
and I'm always honest.
I read you like an open book
and it's obvious to me;
She's just the one between.
Heading no where fast.
Sure, it's gonna last forever.

Let me be the first
to wish you the worst.
'Cause I think you deserve each other.
Let me the curse
that creeps under your skin
until your heart caves in
and you wish she was me.

Let me be the first
to wish you the worst.
'Cause I think you deserve each other.
Let me the curse
that creeps under your skin
Until your heart caves in

And again, and again, and again.

Oh, you wish, you wish
You wish, you do

Okay I have had my new 6 wk puppy now for prox. 4 days. I love her to death. When I hold her sometimes she will take her paw and move it up and down like a wave, but instead it just goes up and down. What does this mean? (link)
Dont panis, sounds like she just wants some attention! Give her a pet or two, dogs often do this to get affection or attention.. and puppies do all sorts of stange actions just as a way of testing out what happens when they do, to learn.


okay well i appreciate you answering my question about lip peircing before, and now i have some other basic questions about it.

1) does it leave a scar if you decide to take the piercing out and let it close? if so, how bad/noticeable is it?

2) is it really hard to eat? what foods should i stay away from if i get my lip done?

thank you so much..
Katie (link)
Hi, I've had my lip peirced for many years.

There is a scar if you take it out and let it heal but it isn't very noticable at all.

It's easy to eat you can eat all the same things as before and shouldn't even notice it after a while.

When you first get it pierced though steer clear of acid foods like salt and vinigar crisps and citrus fruit because it can sting the area.

ohh ok and so wen a girl has an orgasm, THATS wen she cums? (link)
yes, 'cumming' is just another way of saying 'has an orgasm'


ok..sorry i keep asking questions
so what is the big difference between getting wet and cumming, and when does a female cum? (link)
When a woman is stimulated or aroused, for example during foreplay, a little 'wetness' will be present around the opening of the vagina. The ammount varies from woman to woman. Being wet is literally that, a wetness of the vaginal opening.

An orgasm is when a wave of pleasure rushes over a woman either from penetration by a sexual toy, finger or penis, or by stimulation (rubbing, sucking, licking etc) of the clitoris.

And don't worry about keep asking things, it's what I'm here for.

This is for girls...

I'm almost 13 ( 1 week) && female. I have hair between my breasts. Its not too bad, but I was wondering if its normal. Like, you can see it if you're right next to me and I have a low shirt on, but if you're more than a foot away you can't see it at all. I was wondering if I should shave this??

Another question while I'm at it... I have a thin strip of hair on my belly, and it gets thicker and goes beneath my navel, spreading from side to side. I don't think its pubic hair, because its too high on my belly. I'm very self-conscious about this, and am careful about shirts rising above my jeans/shorts. Is this normal, and should I shave it?

Thanks (link)
Whatever you do, don't shave it, because it will grow back thicker. It is normal to have a small ammount of hair everywhere on your body except the soles of your feet and palms of your hands. Breasts, toes, tummies, backs and bums will all have a small ammount of hair after puberty.

The hair on your tummy is completely normal too but if you are embarassed by it then get it waxed. It's not that painful and should grow back thinnner.

I wear pads and Im very paranoid about whether or not there is a smell whenever I use them and walk around in school or other places. Is there no smell or can I just not smell it? Is there a significant smell? please answer! (link)
As long as you are showering everyday and changing your pad every 3 or 4 hours (or more if you have a heavier flow) there should be no smell unless someone has thier head next to your privates in which case there may be a very slight smell, but I wouldn't worry.

I really wasn't sure what category to put this in. My family and friends have no clue how I really feel. I'm 17, and just starting my senior year. Everybody thinks I'm happy being a guy, I play sports, date girls, do everything I'm "supposed" to do as a guy just so nobody figures me out. But inside, I've never felt right being a guy, I've always wished I was a girl instead. Everything just seems hopeless. (link)
It's not hopeless sweetheart, many people feel this way, more than you might think!

You are still young and it may be that you aren't producing enough testosterone (the male hormone) at the moment.

However, if you have felt like this a long time then perhaps you are really a girl inside, but were just born the wrong sex. It really does happen.

Headbands like these (without dread falls) are usually easy to find. Check supermarkets and pharmicists. I have a few, mostly from hair sections in supermarkets.

how do you use these? they look weird. (link)
Curling tongs can be tricky to use.

Make sure your hair is dry before you begin, and try to blow dry it as straight as this will get rid of waves. Some people like to add mousse or hairspray to give volume and make the curls bigger and last longer. Divide your hair into sections and work from the bottom of your hair upwards. Take each section and roll round the heated part of the curling tongs, hold it in place for about 10 seconds. Open the curling iron and let the curl slide off the tongs. Once all the sections have been curled, gently shake the curls out and move into position with your fingers. Don't brush or comb your hair or you will pull the curls out!
Lightly spritz all over with a holding spray to keep style in place.

The easiest thing would be to print and take that picture to your hairdresser, they always know the best ways to do things.

I don't know how your hair is but colour wise, dye your hair a chestnut or chocolate brown colour and then get very thin blonde highlights at your hairdressers.

In terms of style I would suggest straightening then use a very loose curl with curling tongs or again ask your hairdresser to show you how to do that. Youtube also has good videos on how to use curling tongs and straighteners.

In terms of cut, again your hairdresser will know best, but it looks as though she has just moved a section of hair across her face, brushed and sprayes it there and tucked it behind her ear.

Im 13/f. Iknow it sounds whorish but im with a guy ive known forever and were having sex. Hes 15 and he lost his virginity to me about 2 months ago. When im giving him blow jobs and/or handjobs it takes him a while to cum. But sex, on the other hand....he cums too fast. He goes slow and hard so he wont 'lose control' too fast, but sometimes i just NEED more than that, and i make him speed up and so snd so....but he doesnt really like condoms, so he ALWAYS pulls out ahead of time, [were safe and careful though.] I just want to know, how I can still get my little extra 'fun/pleasure' and make him last! PLEASE HELP ME! Thanks.
-Kayla. (link)
I'm afraid Zoey is absolutely right Kayla.

You need to stop using the 'Pulling Out' method.

You see, during sexual arousal the penis leaks a certain ammount of sperm sometimes called 'pre-cum' and not only that but if you use this method while with someone with an STI or an STD, you could get that STD or STI. You really don't want to be pregnant at 13.

Go to your doctors alone or to the hospital even and ask about other contraceptives. The pill is a viable option. Your parents shouldn't have to know, but please sweetie, stop what you are doing.

Secondly, the making him last thing. There are a few things you can try, for starters I would reccommend condoms. Once the man gets used to them, they make sex last a lot lot longer. I would also reccommend different positions. If you are on top for example, then you can use your hips to control the speed and depth of the movements meaning you can do things for your pleasure and it may keep him on his toes enough to last longer.

Hope this helps x
