Need to check out what your sexually transmitted disease or infection risk might be in a jiffy?
Using a condom is generally easier than it looks (especially if you can relax about it), but the first couple times, it can be tricky, especially if you're nervous about knowing how to use one.
What's a "boyfriend" or what's a "girlfriend?" It all depends on what you and yours decide it's going to mean and what works best for you.
I'm not gay, but I like my butt and anus played with. Can someone tell me why?
Need to know what the age of sexual consent is in your area?
I'm 17yrs old, not sexually active, never had a boyfriend (and I'm more than fine with it). Ever since my friend came out as bisexual, I've had this horrible feeling that I might be too. I've thought sexually about women for a few years now, and occasionally look at female porn. I just assumed this was normal, straight-girl activity, even though I don't think about guys as, um, graphically. Since my friend came out I've found myself attracted to certain women, not just sexually but romantically, as well as guys.
I just DON'T WANT to be lesbian or bi. I have no problems with them, but I don't want it to be part of my life. I'm terrified I'll have to acknowledge it - my family's loving but straight-laced and wouldn't accept it, for one thing, and it's just not the way I planned my life to run. I don't know how to explain it without sounding bigoted, but I don't want to deviate from the social "norm". I don't know what to do. Is there any way of...checking, some how? Is the Kinsey Scale accurate? Am I just imagining it since my friend came out?
Please tell me what to think, because I don't know what to do. Thanks in advance. I'm so glad for this website.

Genital Attraction & Sexual OrientationA dialogue on the fluidity of sexual orientation labels... from a different angle than "usual." (Or how it's possible for people who ID as queer to have opposite-sex crushes.)
