Re: Got catcalled at a mall (CW/TW: Catcalling, harassment)
Hi AQ, What strange and rude behavior from these people! From the questions about your relationship and gender to the dog noises... I'm sorry you had to deal with all that, and I understand why it might have made you feel uncomfortable or even afraid. Still, I really hope this won't discourage you f...

Re: cosca + ocd
Hi Angelsswings, You deserve to get the help you need, I'm sorry that money is proving to be an obstacle. I'm wondering if there may be some more affordable ways for you to access therapy. Some therapists offer sliding scale options for payment, for one. Universities and other places that train ther...

Re: Guilt from childhood sex play
Hi Letsgooooo1234, I'm sorry you've been struggling with these feeling of guilt for so long! I agree that this just seems like child sex play, not any kind of sexual abuse. You didn't do anything terrible or nastyy. You were just being a curious kid. It is normal for children to be interested in peo...

Re: how to tell parents im in an online relationship
Hi Deerofrot! Welcome to the boards, and congratulations on your relationship! It is good to hear that your mother would support you dating in general- that should make it easier for her to listen to you about this. As with any sensitive conversation, try to have this discussion when everyone has en...

Re: I can’t feel sensitive touching my own skin
Hi Azulin, Just to clarify, when you say that your mind is in the right place, do you mean that you feel turned on or aroused? If you are not aroused (or perhaps aroused enough), that might be what is causing this. It is not that you don't have erogenous zones- only that touching yourself when you'r...

Hi Trixieandtoast, You know, if he has made you a part of his chosen family, it means he cares about you and your feelings. Even if he has moved on, or if he thinks you don't want a sexual relationship, that doesn't mean he won't listen to you and treat you respectfully and kindly. So, how can you s...
Re: okra
Hi Jaxmang,
I think it is unlikely that drinking okra water will decrease the effectiveness of the pill, but to be sure, you could check with a healthcare provider.

Hi Stone, It is possible that he doesn't have the ability to fully recognize how his harmful is behavior is right now. He may be so focused on his insecurities around relationships and sex that he isn't seeing (or is ignoring) the manipulative nature of his actions. That doesn't change the fact that...

Re: Late period
Hi Cyprns! I don't think you have anything to worry about right now. You're correct that there are no risks from fingering, and since you had protected sex, it is highly unlikely that you are pregnant. Being stressed is worth noting, that can cause a late period all on its own. Give it a few more da...

Re: Should I see the doctor?
Hi CasWasHere,
You are right, that is what you are supposed to do. I think starting with the school nurse is a good idea- if they believe you, you may be able to ask them to speak to your guardian. Keep advocating for yourself until someone takes you seriously and gives you the help you need.

Re: numbness after using a toy??
Hi there, Anomalocaris
Don't worry, I don't think there was anything wrong here. Temporary numbness can sometimes happen as a result of pressure and stimulation, and usually goes away on its own.

Re: when your mom finds your "Things"
Hi Anomalocaris, welcome to the boards! One option is to be honest. You don't have anything to be ashamed of, because it is okay for you to have a sex toy. It might be a bit awkward, but since your mother is cool with sexuality, there shouldn't be any negative consequences. Even though she doesn't k...

I couldn't say how likely or common sensory issues are, but they do happen, in response to both semen and vaginal fluid. If someone has a strong sense of aversion to these...

Hi there, AlwaysLearning!
Washing with water should dilute semen. As Sofi said, you don't need to worry, since this situation is still low risk.
