Hey, Jessie. You know, it’s normal for anyone, of any gender, and with any level (or lack) of sexual experience to feel attraction or a desire to have sex, and then to change your mind, or feel uncomfortable about pursuing sex, at any time, for any number of reasons. For instance, it may well be…

“In 2005, 47 percent of high school students (6.7 million) reported having had sexual intercourse, down from 54 percent in 1991. The rate of those who reported having had sex has remained the same since 2003. Of those who had sex during a three-month period in 2005, 63 percent – about 9 million – used condoms. That’s up from 46 percent in 1991.

Good on you for doing so much research, but if you’re using the birth control pill, then you’re not ovulating, nor most fertile at any given time. The combined pill suppresses ovulation, so there’s no sense in charting when you’re on it, because there isn’t anything TO chart: your fertility status -…

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…

Anon: first things first. Obviously, on top of giving oral sex when you don’t even want to, you’ve also been doing it unprotected. So, the very first thing I’d advise you strongly to do is to go into your doctor or sexual healthcare clinic and get a full STI screen, including a screen for your mouth…

The short answer is that it is techinically possible, but is not likely. The longer answer is that there are a lot of variables, and we still need more study to be done on this to give a better answer. Do we know that pre-ejaculate fluid can contain sperm? Yes, we do. We also know that there are far…

Most topical antibiotics state on the label that they aren’t to be used on mucous membranes, alas. But you can certainly check the label on any topical antibiotics you have around the house to see. So, with a genital injury – I’m assuming you mean you have an injury around your vaginal opening? –…

Since sex is more than just physical – it’s also psychological, emotional, intellectual, and when you add another person into the mix, social – it’s normal to experience partnered sex and masturbation differently. They’re different things! And certainly, upping the emotional intensity of things…

Ideally, after something like this, you’d want to flush your eye out with a lot of water, as an immediate measure. But more ideally, you don’t want to get semen in your eyes. That absolutely poses a risk of infection – as well as hurting like nobody’s business – including sexually transmitted…

There is no data to support that caffeine reduces the effectiveness of birth control pills or other hormonal birth control. However, since the pill can cause breast tenderness, and caffeine can make that worse, if you’re having any issues with that, you may want to cut back on the java some. Too…
