2) That one's hard because I'm trying to stop myself. If you get a manicure (some places only cost $10 for a manicure) once every two weeks or so...it can cause you to not want to bite them as much because they look nicer and you don't want to mess them up.
3) I've never had anal sex because I figure, I have a perfectly good vagina so it's not really necessary. I hear it hurts soo bad though, sometimes more than losing one's vaginal virginity. I hear people say "make sure to use lube!!" but I'd imagine it would hurt anyway. Do some more research on it and definitely don't let him pressure you into it.

2* Whenever you feel like biting your nails, put gum in your mouth. It helps a lot, and it works. That's how my mom stopped. Or, there's a nail polish that tastes horrible, but my mom said she tried it, and she eventually got used to the taste, so I think gum works better.
3* My friend tried, and she said she was in tears. So, I'm taking that answer as it does hurt. If you want to try it, go ahead. But relax when you do it.
erythisis answered Monday March 27 2006, 9:25 pm: 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. [ erythisis's advice column | Ask erythisis A Question ]
Nallie answered Monday March 27 2006, 9:25 pm: 1. Regarding the cramps. A hot bath, heating pad, exercise, no caffine and limit carbs, sugar and chocolate.
2. You can buy a paint on substance to make your nails taste bad and therefore remind you not to bite them which will gradually help you break the habit.
3. You may not be a virgin, and I won't call you a "slut" but you are setting yourself up for a life of heartbreak by having sex at such a young age. While many people talk about anal sex, and of course guys would like to try it, but there is no way it is comfortable. If you aren't that concerned about the pain, think of the colon as being loaded with e-coli bacteria and deteriorating waste from the body. YIKES! [ Nallie's advice column | Ask Nallie A Question ]
sizzlinmandolin answered Monday March 27 2006, 7:20 pm: Sometimes stretching and exercise will reduce cramps. There also medications that can help you if that's something you want to do and you are willing to talk to your doctor about. Personally, I stop biting my nails when they are painted. The paint tastes funny and I don't want it to look chipped or anything so I leave them alone. Anal sex hurts if you expect it to hurt. You have to be very relaxed and trust your boyfriend a lot to be able to do it at all. If you are relaxed enough and do enough foreplay it won't hurt at all. If you do decide that it's something that you want to do, make sure you use a condom and lubrication. That will help it go easier and keep you protected too, just in case. Make sure that you're using a condom every single time, that is so important. Good luck! [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]
