Why don't I self-lubricate enough?

Anonymous asks:

I am 22 and had my first sexual experience with my boyfriend 6 moths ago after a year of dating. We have a very nice relationship and love each other. I have taken pills and we always use a condom. For some reason, even though it doesn't hurt, many times I am very turned on and have natural lubrication but end up drying up completely after a few minutes. It is very frustrating for both of us because KY is not the same, plus I'm too young to be dry. I want to be with him and we make love at least 2 or 3 times a week. This problem has been going on for months now and it has been more noticeable lately. It has happened while I have been in and out of the pill. I feel we have enough foreplay, if not why do I start very wet? Is there any reason why this is happening? I don't see any signs or have ever had an infection... Can stressful situations in life bring this at all?

Is masturbation healthy?

Jose asks:

Is it masturbation healthy or does it cause some diseases?

I don't think this is normal, can I just cut my labia off?

Anonymous asks:

I'm a 17-year old virgin and something has been bothering me ever since I was 13-years old. My labia are huge...and the thing that is bothering me the most, is that I have three labia! The third one is connected to one, I don't really know how to explain it, but I really hate it. I have never told anyone because I'm very embarrassed about it. I'm too shy to even tell a doctor, I won't let anyone look at my vagina. I am wondering if its ok/dangerous to freeze my labia and cutting it myself? I have no idea what to do please help me.

Switching pills and douching

Dixie asks:

My boyfriend and I have had a sexual relationship for over 5 years now. I've always been on birth control, but recently (1 week ago) switched to another pill. The past 2 weeks he has been ejaculating inside of me.
Two questions: does my risk of pregnancy go up since I am in the middle of transitioning between pills AND how do I clean myself since he has been finishing there? I hear so many different views on douching, but I don't feel clean and would like to do something about it. Thanks so much.

Can she orgasm from penetration when she previously only orgasmed through clitoral stimulation?

Christofero1012 asks:

Is it possible for a girl to orgasm from penetration when she previously only orgasmed through clitoral stimulation? Meaning, my girlfriend tells me she orgasms after we have sex through penetration, but rubbing her clit only distracts her from orgasming through penetration. Is this at all possible?

What is the "g" spot?

What is the "g" spot?

No bleeding with intercourse and changes to my vagina have him making false accusations.

Anonymous asks:

I was a virgin when I got married at 26 years our first sex experience was very disappointing. I did not bleed as I thought would have happen it was not painful and I also taught and my husband became very curious about this (if I was truly a virgin). Since then I noticed that my vagina has gotten bitter and my husband also noticed this. It has created problems in the marriage as he thinks that I am sleeping with other men with larger penises than his. I am very frustrated as I have never had sex with anyone but him.

Water-only diet plus pregnancy risk -- why is my bleeding so off?!

Andi asks:

Ok. So, I'm 19 and have been sexually active for 2 years. I have always had irregular periods since I started but my doctor says that it is normal. I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend but he pulled out and about three seconds later, he ejaculated. I saw it start and stop. After, he took a shower, I used the restroom and we didn't touch down there the rest of the night or next day. Even though I am irregular, I estimated my period to start about two weeks ago however, i wasn't very concerned because I've been known to go up to 70 days between periods, again my doctor says its fine. My cycles normally last about five days with a normal to heavy flow. Three days ago i got brown discharge that I assumed meant the start of my period. But the brown discharge has been continous and I've only had a spot of blood. No cramps or anything. I have started a new diet where I only drink water and i am an intense caffiene drinker, could this be affecting my period and making me have brown spots rather than blood?? OR How likely is it that i am pregnant???? I haven't taken a pregnancy test yet, but I plan to. I just want to know your opinon before i do take the test. I need advice immediately!!
