recently my boyfriend and i had sex. i wanted to try to be on top, but i wasn't very good at it.

anyone have any tips? thanks. (link)
I used to be the same way. It bothered me to be on top because i felt i wasnt very good at it. In my experience it gets better with confidence and practice. Now i prefer me being in control on top with my boyfriend rather then the other way around.


I love my boyfriend but how long in a relationship do u think u should wait to have sex? (link)
this question is very hard to answer since you give very little information. The most vague answer i can give is when you have both talked about it and decided it would be the next step in your relationship


"Horrors" by Lewis Carroll

Methought I walked a dismal place
Dim horrors all around;
The air was thick with many a face,
And black as night the ground.

I saw a monster come with speed,
Its face of grimmliest green,
On human beings used to feed,
Most dreadful to be seen.

I could not speak, I could not fly,
I fell down in that place,
I saw the monster's horrid eye
Come leering in my face!

Amidst my scarcely-stifled groans,
Amidst my moanings deep,
I heard a voice, "Wake! Mr. Jones,
You're screaming in your sleep!" (link)
Maybe its just me but i think its about jealousy and envy being the "lil green monster".


So, I was dating a guy in the fall, and it didnt last long but we spent so much time together i pretty much just fell in love. He didn't, and still doesnt, have a very good home life, he and his mother do get along even on a respectable level. He used to be a bum(not literally). But even now,5 1/2 months later, my heart still wants him. I think from his childhood, he doesnt really know how to show affection and show he cares. I'm willing to accept that and just hope he learns. Because now he's on his feet, working, just got a car, and actually going to college next year, and i'm really extremely proud of him for making those choices. Lately we've been talking a lot more, and we both ended it with the people we were seeing. I thought this might change things with us, and for a few days it did. He was the sweet guy I hardly ever got a glimpse at. And then he started being the creepy guy who wanted to know who i was hanging out with, how i know them, and why he doesn't. That didn't last long. But then he started with one-word answers to all my texts, which is practically the only way i can talk to him because he works almost every day of the week. Because i'm me, i called him out on it and he stopped. Everything was fine for a couple days, then I would see on his facebook him commenting on all these other girls pictures saying how cute they were and stuff, but he NEVER did that to mine. Even when we were dating. Last night i asked him if he's just looking to hookup, and he basically said "i dont know" and i told him i wanted him, but i didnt want to attach myself to someone who wasnt going to feel the same way in return. He said he understood that, but i just want the old him back. And the worst part is that i'm totally under his spell. if he told me to jump off a bridge i'd probably do it if he promised me his heart would be at the bottom. Basically its like i'm the only one trying here, and he isnt making any effort at all. But when i see him at school, he hugs me and kisses me like its nothing. What do i even do about this? I want to keep trying until he realizes how much effort i'm putting in and puts some of his own in... (link)
My advice to you is your young and not to get hooked on one guy this early in life. Since you are however i'd tell you he's using you and you just don't want to see it (which i understand ive been there praying he would notice how much i cared and start caring back) but it doesnt work that way. Your going to fall "in love" several more times before you understand what it really is. I dated the same guy from 12-18 and thought i was in love but once we split up and i did fall in love with someone else i realized he was more like a great friend. All i can say though is stop trying so hard don't give him 100 percent of your attention because thats what he wants but he wont give it back while your doing that. He is obviously looking into other women so he isn't into you at all the way he should be in a relationship.


i have been dating this boy for five months and we have been long distance for four of these months. his birthday is coming up and since i can't be there i want to get him something really romantic. the problem is, i make a little bit more money than him so he is really sensitive about me spending a lot on him. any romantic or cute ideas are greatly appreciated! he is turning eighteen! thanks so much :) (link)
To give a great answer id ask one of his friends personally because they know him hard on here to say. Otherwise you could put together a small scrapbook of memories you two have so far for him which would be cheap. Make a collage of photos of yourself for him, write him a love letter and put it inside a birthday card. simple little sweet things to let him know your thinking of him.


I love my boyfriend and we have unprotected sex all the time. Hes ready for, and wants children but we are not married yet, and I am completely not ready to have kids right now. I want to finish college first. So every time we have sex, he never finishes inside of me because I don't want him to. I should be on birth control but I do not have insurance right now and cannot afford it! Problem is I know he really wants to finish inside of me and I want him to especially in the moment because it is such an intimate, close feeling, I just don't want to get pregnant. Anything I can do? We hate using condoms by the way and never do. Please no lectures about that, I'm not a little kid having unprotected sex, getting pregnant would not be the end of the world I just am not ready for it at the moment. (link)
Seeing as your already having unprotected sex as you said no point to give you a lecture you already know about so here is what you do go to wal-mart go to the condoms section somewhere around the condoms they will have something called VCF which is "vaginal contraceptive foam". it is a spermicide which kills his sperm but not the stds read instructions and use. Hope you two enjoy it.


what is the average age that a man's penis stops getting bigger? (link)
No sure its the perfect answer but women general mature physically faster then males and our average maturity is at 18/19. I would assume most males finish physically maturing around 21


i know what your thinking... "is this chick stupid?" but hear me out. me & this boy were messing around & he was fingering me. then he started rubbing his "head" on my vagina. he told me i was too tight to even go in ,but through out the time i guess i kinda got a little loosened up or whatever. he said that "only the head was there." no idea what that meant. i just kept telling him to please not go in whatever he did. i don't wanna lose my virginity at 15. so did i just have sex? :/ i wasn't meaning to go that far. OH & he was cumming while rubbing it on my clit. so could i get pregnant? he told me no. idk.
please help . :( (link)
Scientifically lossing your virginity is breaking your hymen. If he did not enter you far enough to do so then scientifically you are a virgin still. Obviously there are different views on this some religion views and personal uneducated views. There is a slim chance of pregnancy so i would watch for a missed period if i were you and i would also be checked for any stds. I lost my virginity at 15 as well and i know i was uneducated about sex. My advice to you is to educate yourself before trying to be a adult. Virginity is somethign you can only give away once. Educate yourself before trying anything else sexual if you choose to become sexually active.
