Hi there, Tanc. Chances are good that this is nothing to worry about: more penises have some bend to them when erect than not. It's not because of anything anyone did, it's just because the way erection works (effectively, tubes within the penis filling with blood) and the way that bodies aren't lin...

I hear you, but what I am suggesting is that this isn't a beneficial question to ask or to try and get others to answer. It sounds like you are saying that you struggle with self-worth or self-esteem, and that you feel like relationships or being with someone is some kind of competition where someon...

Hi there, Wendy. I tell my girlfriend to stop for a second but she's already been going at it for 30+ mins so she thinks stopping is going to lose all the work she put in if you know what I mean? Is this something she has actually said to you, or is this something you are assuming she thinks or feel...

Hi there, Wanjee. If this is the same relationship you've talked about before, I think we should figure there are a lot more layers to this than this post. However, I would personally suggest never having conversations about who is or has been "the best" person. In most people's lives, the...

I would not use a ziploc bag as a barrier. They both don’t offer the kind of real barrier from pathogens condoms do, and they also aren’t a soft enough material to not cause abrasions.

You can get condoms through places like Amazon just like toys, though!

I also want to add that most places that ship toys do so in ways that are incredibly discreet. Unless your family members open your mail or packages -- a thing you can ask them not to do anymore, if so -- no one will know what you have ordered.

The differences here are most likely because you took the BC pills, but ultimately we can’t say for sure.

What we can help you with, though, is no longer having unprotected sex when you clearly don’t want a pregnancy. Would you like help negotiating condom use with your partner?

Hey there. I’m afraid I don’t know for sure why it lists that one specifically, save that that may well be the only one that showed any issues in studies. Since it doesn’t list Depo, and since you were prescribed this while you are also prescribed Depo, I would not assume there are any issues. It al...

(fantasybaby08: I moved this thread to an area where you can talk to staff and users and deleted the copy of it you made to start a new one with the same questions just because you also wanted user interaction. Now you get both your ongoing conversation and anyone else can chime in if they want.)

Hey there: the better way to make that switch is just to move your previous/duplicate thread. I'll do that for you right now!

I also want to add that having a period due 7 days after apparent ovulation tells you that your tracker isn't giving you accurate information, because that would be much too soon for a period to come after ovulating. None of those trackers can give very accurate ovulation information, just so you kn...

Runmelon, given that you're very clear you don't want to become pregnant, would you also like to talk about other methods you can back up condom use with in the future, ongoing methods rather than EC? I'm happy to walk you through some options, if you like.

Hey there, Arghdaq. So, I'm thinking that it might be that the bigger issue at hand here isn't about what you are or are not doing physically, but what's going on in your head. We can be doing things that have felt amazing in the past, and using sex toys that we love, but if something is afoot psych...

You're welcome. I hope that you can feel better about this soon. <3

Hi there, random. I'm having a little bit of trouble ascertaining exactly what the legal rights of a minor in the Philippines are when it comes to this kind of medical treatment, but let me start with what I know for sure first. There is no such thing as "virginity testing," and that's bec...

I didn’t tell you this is the only way you will ever masturbate. I said quite the opposite, actually. I think you are stressing about a thing you just don’t need to, truly. You can experiment and explore new things over time: there is rarely only one way anything feels good to someone. But if you’re...

I hope that you can start to feel better about this soon.

Hi there, and welcome to the boards. So, there's no one "right" way for anyone to do any sexual activity, whether someone is using their hands with another person's genitals or doing something else. There's only what does and doesn't feel good to the people involved, and how responsive eve...

I think that whenever you explore sex with a partner, you'll discover that there are a lot of things you might do together that create this exact same or a very similar kind of stimulation. Also, people who are okay enough with themselves and us to be good sexual partners won't have issues with the ...

When you are back in school after your break, does your school offer student mental health services, or other services to help students manage stress? If so, how about looking into those for yourself?

Again, I would say "are" in the example you gave is what is more common.

How do you feel about trying to find yourself some real time and space for the next time you masturbate and seeing how much that makes a difference? Too, if you can try to just focus and stay focused on feeling good, rather than on orgasm or otherwise "getting somewhere," that often makes ...

Sure thing.

I've already answered you about the length of her cycle. I understand you're feeling anxious, but circling back to it again and again is something we know only helps KEEP people in anxiety, rather than helping them out of it. We also need to ask people not to ask us to keep explaining the same thing...

Like I said, it's fine to wait to masturbate or not to do it when you want to. Am I misunderstanding what you're asking?
