Is it normal for girls to experiment with sex together when they're not lesbian?

Sam asks:

A couple of years ago I was over at my best friends house and we were in her living room ready to go to sleep and we were just talking and she asked me if I masturbate and I told her I did and then she started to rub her clitoris and then she started to rub mine. After that she asked me if I had ever kissed a girl and I said no then we started to make out and stuff. I know I'm not a lesbian but what we did was a lot of fun, is this normal for girls to do this sort of stuff together?

She's a tomboy, so she likes girls, right?

Elaizha asks:

My friend Chanel is a tomboy but isn't sure she likes girls because she isn't sure of herself what should I tell her or what should I do to make her come out her shell?

Can dried ejaculate get me pregnant?

Love11 asks:

This may sound very stupid. My boyfriend fingered me twice the day after my period ended last month. I never gave him a hand-job and he says no pre-cum ever came out of his penis when he got an erection. He washed his hands thoroughly before I came to his house and he took a shower. The last time he ejaculated was 24 hours ago when he masturbated in his bed. The first time he fingered me was about an hour after I arrived at his house (mostly just heavy petting, no penetration). The second time was about 2 hours after the first time. He went to the bathroom and washed his hands before this. This time he stuck his finger in about 2 inches for a few seconds. He also ate me out for a few seconds. I got what seemed to be my normal period except for the fact that breasts hurt for 2 weeks beforehand instead of the usual 1 week and my period was about a day short. My breasts stopped hurting once my period started.
Could I have become pregnant from any dry sperm that was left on his bed sheets from him masturbating the night before?

Why won't he orgasm?

prepbeautii asks:

Every time I try to make my boyfriend ejaculate (whether it be a hand job or head) he never does. I have done it for up to 10 minutes constantly, and he never ejaculates. Am I doing something wrong, and what can I do to fix it?

Are my fantasies normal?

Amy asks:

Hi my name is Amy and I'm 21. When I masturbate I like to watch lesbian porn. I'm straight and everything it just turns me on. Is this normal? When I watch straight porn I don't get aroused. So please help!

We're ready, but are we REALLY ready?

William asks:

Hello, I just turned 16 this summer, and my girlfriend and I have been talking about having sex recently. We just decided that we're ready a couple days ago. But I was just wondering, is there anything I should do, outside of the sex itself? Things like medical exams?

We fool around, but then I feel bad. What should I do?

anxiety asks:

I'm totally confused about my relationship, where it's going, I mean. I'm 14 years old and I have a 16 year old boyfriend, he's turning 17 in a few months. Since he's older, I know he has more sexual feelings and things like that, but I don't think I understand completely. We always fool around...kind of sexually...but not completely. We haven't had sex yet, and I think he might want to. I really don't know if I'm ready, mentally. I think it might ruin the relationship, I don't know what to tell him, or what to do when we start fooling around again. I mean, I enjoy it, but don't know how far to go with it, or where to stop. I feel like I need to talk to him, but no words come out. Whenever we "fool around" he asks like, "Is this okay?" or "Do you want me to stop?" I always let him do whatever, I don't mind at the time. But later on I really regret it, and wish I would have said something. What should I do?

How do I make my partner talk about sex?

imran_meteora asks:

Hi. I have been going out with my girlfriend for about a year. Actually we have this commitment thing going and we really love each other The thing is that she feels very uncomfortable talking about sex related topics or even talking about kisses. I kind of get frustrated sometimes but never let it out because I understand. What I actually want to ask is how can I make her talk about sex? How can I end this uncomfyness in her? Please know that she fully confides in me and truly trusts in me as well. Your help will be really appreciated. Thank you.

A few choice words about "tightness"

Mariah asks:

How long does it take for the "vagina opening" to get tight again after sex? A few days, a week? Do PC muscle exercises help? Say I hadn't had sex for about 5 months and then just had sex about a week ago, am I "looser" now then I would've been if I didn't have sex at all? And if so, how do I make it tight again and how long does it take? Is it already "tight" again...Does that even make sense!?? PLEASE HELP!!
