Re: Muscles twitching while masturbating?

People react differently to stimulation, so there is no "normal" or "abnormal". As long it is not painful or hurting you I don't think you have to worry much about it. :)

Re: Anal and pregnancy

Thinking about "possible" scenarios is not very productive. As Karyn mentioned, the risk would be low but there is still a risk. If someone wants to prevent pregnancy by all means their best bet is to use a birth control method. It could be hormonal or a barrier but at least one of them. :)

Re: Sex and bled

There is really no way for us to know what does "this" mean. As Sam already said, periods can change and if something didn't happen before it doesn't mean it cannot happen ever. Checking with a healthcare provider is always a good idea when someone is sexually active, anyway. If this is bo...

Re: Does missed period mean absence of ANY discharge ??

A late period is usually defined as a period which has not arrived five or more days since the very latest someone expected it. :)

Re: foreskin and sex?

Pleasure means something different for everyone so this is one of those things that you can only know with lots of communication and some trial and error. When we are starting to be sexual with someone new to us (circumcised or not), the best we can do it talk. A lot. And keep in mind that when we d...

Re: Period

There is just no way for us to tell you why or what does this changes mean. Bodies are not machines so they won't always react the same way. Periods can and often will vary and there are a lot of reasons for this to happen such as changes in food, sleeping patterns, stress and many more. :)

Re: Condom False beliefs

When a condom breaks is going to be very visible. Something like when a balloon pops, it just can't go unnoticed.

And no, there is no such thing as "microscopic rips". If it breaks, it breaks completely and you will know.

The answer is not going to be different from what you already read.
