Re: Urinating when I am horny

If you feel the urge to urinate and the stream of liquid comes out in a steady flow, instead of gushing or shooting out, I think it is probably just urine. And yes, maybe because you're concentrating more on the genital area and thereabouts, you subconsciously get reminded of other functions that go...

Hello Buddyboi21, Everything you've said and the decisions that you've made are perfectly clear, yes! I'm really sorry to hear that you've had a horrid invalidating time of it during your last few therapy appointments. Highly understandable, too, that experiencing that sort of ableist toxicity from ...

Re: Can't orgasm with my boyfriend

Hi Melanie, and welcome to Scarleteen! I'm sorry that you're in this upsetting situation. It's true that orgasms shouldn't be considered the end goal of sex, but it's so valid to want to orgasm together, and to share that wonderful feeling with someone you love. Would you mind going into a little mo...

Re: Can’t find my clit

Hi, welcome to Scarleteen! The clitoris is a very long organ, and most of it is internal. In full, internal and external combined, it's almost the same size as the penis. The part that is external is called the glans, and it is under that hood that you mentioned. Your clitoris may be smaller, which ...

Re: Boobs

Speaking from personal experience, it may help to seek out role models with small breasts, such as actresses, models, celebrities, or just people in your life whom you find beautiful. There are so many gorgeous people with small breasts!

Hey TS6249, Good to hear that you'll be seeing a doctor about this. Unfortunately, since we're not medical professionals, we can't give you a completely reliable answer to your question about curvature, but treatment is usually only necessary when the curvature is 30 degrees or more.

Yes, Paroxetine does inhibit orgasm and arousal. It's highly probable that going off SSRIs will change things, as you said, so good luck!

Hello Rose_confused, For fingering advice, please scroll up to the first response in this thread, by Elise. If you're scared three fingers are going to hurt, try using lube.
