Hey Kayo, Nothing to be embarrassed about I promise! Here are some answers: 1) When it comes to changing positions, most of the time nobody knows what position comes next. If you change position during sex (and lots and lots of people never do) you usually do it because one or the other partner...

Your partner has no way of knowing for sure that you've had an orgasm if you're a person with a vagina. None, save you telling them so. Sometimes, if your partners have their hands, mouths or genitals inside ours or right on them, they can feel some uterine and vaginal muscle contractions when we...

There are a few likely possibilites for this. One might be plain old vasocongestion -- when a person becomes sexually aroused, the whole pelvic area fills with blood, which is how erection happens in penis, and vulval engorgement -- swelling of the clitoris and vulva -- happens in those body parts...

Hey, Katie. Well, in most people with vaginas there is a "skin thing," at least at the beginning, and that's the hymen. But it rarely is "popped" or needs to be "broken" by sex. The hymen is made up of thin folds of tissue that, when we're young, mostly covers the vaginal opening. It's right there...

Anon, it's never wrong to not want to do any given sexual activity. Everyone has their own wants, needs and preferences, and you get to have yours just like anyone else. While it can take a little adjusting for sexual partners to find middle ground in terms of what both want and prefer, a partner...

You know, it's not often going to feel good to anyone to have someone just stick a finger into the vagina. There really aren't "tight girls" and girls who aren't tight. The tightness of your vaginal opening and vagina is mostly to do with how sexually aroused and relaxed you are, and if what someone...

Well, I feel you shouldn't fake it in the FIRST place, and would say it's time to stop faking NOW. I know: it can be really hard sometimes to tell a partner we care a lot about that we're dissatisfied, because we don't want to hurt their feelings. But faking pleasure or orgasm is one of the best...

Not an easy question, but I'll do my best. I'm going to assume we're not talking about infibulated women, but in the case you are, just write back and we'll tackle that, too. One thing to understand is that one unfortunate aspect of defining virginity by the state of the hymen is that it just isn't...
