Re: I want to have sex but im 15. Is it normal to feel this way

Hey! You're totally right about stigma- that's a huge reason why a lot of people feel guilty for having sexual feelings. The feelings you're having are normal and extremely common, but sex and masturbation are both completely normal and healthy. Your mom seems like she is very open to talking to you...

Re: Can’t Orgasm…but wait. Was that an orgasm?

Hey! A quick solution for this would be to consider buying a sex toy like a vibrator. This would definitely take some of the work off of your hands. If this isn't something you'd want to do, I'd also suggest switching things up a little in terms of what you're doing to masturbate. Sometimes repeatin...

Re: Can't feel him during sex

Hey! What you’re experiencing is not only completely normal but also very common! Most people with vaginas do not experience orgasms or even pleasure from penetration alone. Here’s a little excerpt from an article that I’ll also link below: “The back ⅔ of the vagina has essentially no sensitivity, w...

Re: GF is ace, unsure of what to do

Hey Spider_queen, I want to say first of all that your feelings are valid. You’re right, terf ideology and transmisogyny exist in those communities and elsewhere, but that also doesn’t mean that there aren’t also people that will see you and appreciate you as a woman.

Re: Questions about vaginal canal

Hey there! For the first question: what you’re describing isn’t unusual. You’re right that dryness can definitely be a factor, and I’m glad that you’ve gotten some lube as that would help. Another really important factor is being relaxed. If you’re feeling uncomfortable, it’ll be a bit more difficul...

Hey there, I agree that it's a good sign that your friend/manager apologized and is back to talking about other things.

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear you're struggling, but it can be confusing sometimes to identify parts of our body, especially those that can be hard to see! The clitoris is located where the inner labia meet and form a hood. If you lift up the hood, you may be able to get a better look. This article ha...

Hey Otter8! Ask as many questions as you'd like! For cleaning up afterwards, you can really do anything that works. A cloth, like your friend said, would work. Masturbating in the bath would also work, but I'd be sure to clean the tub a bit afterwards, since semen is a bodily fluid. You could also j...

Re: Porn addiction

Hi,
You can get used to orgasming in a particular way or with certain stimuli that may make it more difficult to orgasm using other methods. However, it won't affect sensitivity of the genitals. You may be used to certain methods, making other methods feel not as good. Does that make sense?
