It might be because you're getting used to it, it might be that it's a little bit low. That doesn't mean you should take it out immediately, you could simply try gently pushing it a little bit further with a clean finger. That might very well help.

" I can't really control who does or doesn't like me, so how can sex not be something that might or might not happen? " Well, it IS something that might or might not happen, but you get to have a say in that. You can't decide single-handedly that sex with another person is definitely going...

I don't think that's a ridiculous question at all. I'd think about it this way: what are the pros and cons? Cons are, as I see it: - that you might buy some condoms or other barriers that will not be used before they expire. - ??? Pros are: - that you might feel better / more at peace knowing that y...

Hey Marlowe, Our styles are pretty similar! I don't generally do bow ties, but everything else sounds like we could share wardrobes. And I've got the young-looking face thing going on, too. Short hair, flat shoes, pants or sometimes a kilt, no makeup. That's me. I can assure you that none of this ha...

For me, it always helps to interact with animals in some way. If I can't get close to real animals, watching videos also makes a difference.

Hope you'll feel better soon!

GingerPhoenix, that all sounds really rough and I'm very sorry to hear you are in such a bad place right now. I can't help, but at least I wanted you to know that someone has seen your message and that some people care! Can you maybe call the RAINN hotline again?

That sounds rough! You know, you might be on to something with the apple sauce... when I had no appetite, I usually felt that it was much easier to stick to soft or even liquid foods, that go down easily. Soup, milk, liquid yogurt, things like that. Fruit juices and smoothies are nutritious, too and...

Have a good break! Y'all deserve one.

Sam, I'm sorry to butt in, but my cervix is certainly no further than one or two inches in, so that can be normal.

Some people's clitorises can be too sensitive to be touched directly. That might be the case here. You could try keeping a little bit of distance between in and your tongue, or maybe add a barrier such as a dental dam. Also, does she have any suggestions? Maybe she has some idea of how she likes to ...

I'll assume you are not talking about your feet ;-) Water is the best option for cleaning one's genitals. If you like, you can also use a bit of soap on the external parts, but make sure it's a mild one. But using nothing but water works fine too, and since it's so safe you can do it several times a...

What happens is the exact same thing that happens to almost all of the ejaculate when a woman is not pregnant: it drips out of the vagina some time after intercourse.

If all is well and the pregnancy is progressing as normal, penetrative sex during a pregnancy is usually just fine.

w00t! This news made me really happy!

From thinking about it, I'd say no. My reasoning is:
Gaviscon is a medication that acts inside the stomach. The pill goes into the stomach. Other hormonal methods do not. So they won't be affected.

What do you think? Does that make sense?

Hi Prettyskittle,
You are just as protected during this week as you are when you are taking your pills. If you want to understand how that works, here's an article that explains it.

Hey Hearth,
So you took it as soon as you remembered, and then your next pill at the regular time. This meant that you had two pills in one day.
Looks to me like you followed the instructions to the letter.

Also, some people actually prefer partners with a penis that's on the smaller size. And many others don't care all that much.

Oh yes, that is a pet peeve of mine for sure! We're so often talking about the penis doing things (such as entering, penetrating) and hardly ever about the vagina doing things (such as engulfing, enveloping, or even kneading, gripping or massaging the object inside). And yes, we tend to see the peop...

It might be interesting or good to know that it's not true that one specific partner has to do the thrusting. Either, or both, partners can make lower body movements during intercourse. It's perfectly possible for the person with the penis to stay completely still and not thrust at all, and still ej...

I don't think we've talked before, but I just want to let you know that this is wonderful to read. It makes me very happy that you managed to do these amazingly great things for yourself. You did something terriffic, and I hope you're proud of that, because you deserve to!

I've been using cups for six years now. And I'll be honest here: I'd rather eat a tampon than start using them again. That's how much I love my cups!

I believed that having different kinds of sex for the first time (including intercourse) with my (then) boyfriend would connect us in such a deep way that we would probably always remain together, or at least feel a deep connection for the rest of our lives. That turned out to be... not the case. We...

I'm not saying the heavier discharge is due to the pill; I'm saying that fact that the patterns of your discharge are becoming more like they usually are, may be due to your body getting used to the pill. Make sense? You seem very eager to keep talking and thinking about this. Any idea why could tha...

No one says the pill is irreversible. It can be reversed easily: you stop taking it, you become fertile again. Maybe you misread? People say it's effective. That's because it is. :-) The changes in your discharge could very well be because your body is getting used to the pill, and settling in, so t...

I believe we talked about that before, right here http://www.scarleteen.com/bb/viewtopic. ... t=25#p5973.
