Thank you Carmen!

So I was sexually abused as a child by a man. That's about all I know. Sometimes I worry I'm still being abused. I wonder if it is my father and since I still live with him if he could still be hurting me. Would a gynecologist be able to tell if he raped me recently? I mean I guess there could be sc...

So I'm 22 but I don't have any friends and I've never been on a date. I have some challenges which make relationships hard. Does anyone else not have any friends or not date? How do you cope? I'm so lonely.

Sorry if this sounds really basic and stupid but long story short I kept switching schools so I never had a sex ed class. My mom told me some things about sex but I think she forgot some things. Anyway, I'm just curious, if a man and a woman have intercourse, what do they do? I've heard of men thrus...

Hi,

I see Father's Day passed but I just wanted to say that must really hard. There are other holidays that bother me for other reasons and what I do is I try to do something special for myself during that time of year.

It's fine, I didn't find you insensitive. I need to bring that up with the doctor. The thing is, as much as I hate this side effect, the medication really helps me and I've been on similar drugs that either didn't work or had worse side effects. I'll have to ask her if there is anything new on the m...

I've only been masturbating for about a year. I've learned a lot about my body but still have a lot to learn. I think the most important thing I learned is that medication side effects make it hard for me to feel pleasure. It's sad but good to know.

Totally awkward for me. I couldn't even get myself to write the name of a body part out before.

I just felt sensations in my private area like I had just masturbated. It felt the same as masturbation felt the night before. I don't feel much and tend to be too rough when I masturbate because I need to be rough to feel anything due to medication side effects. I did it hard but I thought the feel...

So I masturbated last night in the early evening. As I went to bed I didn't feel anything afterward. But when I woke up I felt like I had just masturbated. Is that normal? Or could it be impacted by whatever was in my dream last night?

Yes, that makes sense. Thank you.

How long is it supposed to take to feel pleasure when masturbating? I'm female. It seems to take a while for me. I also need to apply pressure until it hurts to feel anything. I'm on a lot of medication so I'm wondering if it's from that. But just wondering what normal is. Thank you.
