Re: Sexual activities feel underwhelming
Hi there, welcome to the boards <3 I'm hearing your frustration and it sounds like you've really tried a lot of different things over a long period of time here. Reading your post, it doesn't sound like you're super enthusiastic about sex, which makes sense considering it doesn't feel good for you -...

Re: I keep thinking I’m pregnant
Hi there, welcome to the boards! I hear you're having a lot of anxiety around pregnancy and I want to start by addressing the question (is it possible you're currently pregnant), then addressing the anxiety itself. From what you've described you and your boyfriend have done, it is not possible for y...

Re: Relationship
It sounds like you're very self aware and also aware of your partner's feelings, which is great because you can have a plan of action based on that. I will say, it's not worth it to carry guilt from past mistakes, it makes it harder to actually move forward and "do better". So if you are, ...

Re: Clarification on Potential Risks and Types of Contact
Hi there, welcome to the boards!

What you are describing is extremely low risk, I would not wo...

Hi Ginger! I hear your concerns and they're valid. Truthfully, there isn't a right or wrong amount of times that it's okay or healthy to masturbate. Once a day is fine, twice a day is fine, twice a week or month or year is fine (you get the gist) If it's not distracting you from doing important thin...

Hi Demigirl09,
Thanks for clarifying! Before I move on, I want to check if the resource Willa sent re: polyamory, and the advice re: dysphoria, were helpful? Did you have any questions about what she said or anything you want to discuss about it?

Re: Overcoming feelings of sexual shame
I really don't think we can give you an average time frame because like you said it's different for everyone, and we would just be either setting you up for disappointment or making you rush the process. Yes, you can think of it that way if it helps. We don't really share our personal religious beli...

Re: vibrator use and frequency
Hi there,
This is a valid question because as you said there are a lot of people who think this, but it is in fact a myth. There's no evidence that vibrators numb or desensitize people's genitals in any way.
We have a longer post about it here: Do vibrators cause a loss of sensitivity?

Re: Sex positive but not?
You could start with having that kind of conversation 1:1 with someone you trust or feel less shy around. That will make you feel more comfortable talking about the topic in general. Remember, you don't HAVE to talk about anything you're not comfortable with. But if you're just feeling shy, it would...

That being said, it's understandable that you're a bit nervous about it. Testicles can be sensitive, but try to remember that they'r...

I want you to take some pressure off it though so when those opportunities come up, it doesn't feel like you HAVE to, or if you do and it's not as s...

Re: Bath tub fingering questions(s) - Help?
It could be, but we don't have enough information to say nor can we diagnose you. It would be worth talking to a mental health professional about this since the anxiety seems to be causing you a lot of distress, and they can help you ease your anxiety.

Hi Skybushh, I'm sorry you're feeling hurt and disconnected from your partner, as well as (it seems) emotionally exhausted from trying.

I'm glad the article seems helpful - was there any particular part of it that helped, or that you want to discuss?

This all makes sense, thanks for expanding on it. You know, overthinking is definitely a result of anxiety for a lot of people, so often when we work on managing our anxiety we can also reduce the overthinking. One way you can work on this aside from therapy is just practicing mindfulness and ground...

Would your dad be more receptive perhaps? If you approach it as Sam explained, and tell them you've tried to drink more fluids and it hasn't helped and is getting worse, that should seem important enough to see a professional. I agree with Sam that this is a pretty intense symptom of arousal and see...
