True that. It's obviously more than a day's work, trying to improve my body image. But I just am so glad that I have people like you and other members of scarleteen, with whom I can freely discuss these things without having any inhibitions

Yes, it makes sense to tell people this. Thank you, Heather, this made me feel so much better!

You're right; I'm being just too superficial here, by concentration on my physical appearance than on what my body can actually do. I think all these thoughts are coming from the fact that visually I look thin because my waist is tiny and my upper body just doesn't put on weight.Many people, especia...

I can definitely assure you that I have no wish of undergoing cosmetic surgery ever. To accept my body, I firstly concentrate on staying healthy and fit by working out because that makes me feel good about my body, albeit in a different way. I also feel better about my boobs when I wear nicer, prett...

RedRabbit, don't generalize that all boys aren't interested in this! My boyfriend does this a lot to me, and he just loves it. And I think the reason behind this is that he knows that I get really horny when he massages me. So if a guy really respects your needs and desires, he will do what you woul...

Hi, I just want to finally speak out what I've been struggling with for several years and had nobody to talk with about this. I am just not happy with my breasts. I am a 30B, and have been so for the past many years. Girls in my class grew out while I remained the same. I don't remember having to sh...

Hey Hypochondriac, I know I'm replying to this a little late, but being from the same nation, I totally understand the situation you are in and this kind of interference by others in your relationship. And boy, does it slowly start influencing your thoughts as well! Well, I just feel from what you'v...

For me, sexy is being fit. I feel the most confident or the sexiest after a good swim, jog or workout. Of course, sexy lingerie or tight clothes also do make me feel sexy, but if I feel fit and have a toned body, then I feel sexy from within.

My boobs are on the smaller side. I don't get a lot of variety in my size when I go bra shopping, and many of my friends' boobs had been growing even when mine had stopped. So there are days when I love them and days when I don't, so much. I know it's important to love your own body as it is, so I t...

Thanks for clearing my doubts. We hadn't had a situation like this before, so we plan to keep condoms handy henceforth, irrespective of whether we plan to have sex or not. Better safe than sorry, I guess! Also, I know from your articles that direct contact between genitals is a risk, but how often d...

The third one HAS to be a lie, because I really hope you've read those books!

Mine are:
- I was scared of water till the age of 14.
- I am really good at dancing.
- I do not like Game of Thrones.

Hi there. I have been in a 2 year relationship with my boyfriend. So it was 3 days after my last period got over that we were making out and our genitals were in direct contact. We didn't have sex, but he came, a little, over my vagina and vulva, not inside. We hadn't used any sort of protection sin...
