Re: Dealing with violence thoughts / fantasies (on me)

Hi Kittylemon0, As others were touching on fantasies can be a way for us to explore our sexuality and understand ourselves, but do not have to be something that will happen or something that we want to happen. If you have a concern that you would not be able to hold on to boundaries set to keep your...

Re: questions about sperm

Naurmi008, Sperm cells are very delicate and need very particular conditions in order to survive. Anything that is outside of the conditions of the body, such as temperature, causes the sperm cells to die.

Re: am i pregnant ?

Hi Sarah22,

Sperm is very fragile and can not survive outside of the body for very long, so there is no risk of pregnancy in this scenario. For there to be a risk of pregnancy there needs to be direct contact of ejaculate/pre-ejaculate and the vagina or vulva, which did not occur here.

There are a few different ways to approach what you are asking. One thing I want to start with is that not everyone enjo...

Re: Feeling being rude and offensive

Hi Mika.m,

Yes it is fine to remember experiences you have and things you saw to use them in times like during masturbation. This is common for people to think about certain people they know or have seen to become aroused. Doing this in private is fine.
