I've done what you've said and it seems to have made things more manageable, thank you! It must have just been general chafing I was experiencing... Do you happen to have advice on how to pick out boxers/boxer briefs that don't cause chafing?

Hey there! It's been a while since I've been on Scarleteen. I tend to feel some itching and discomfort when I move around in my boxers, so I decided to trim some of the hair to see if it was just catching on the fabric. But now it's just worse! I wasn't using any technique when cutting to be honest,...

hi scarleteen! how do i know if something's female ejaculate; would i be able to feel it happening or is it possible to not feel it and just see it afterwards? would the stain look noticeably different? what's the best way to safely and discreetly clean up stains? basically, i had a scare where i cl...

oh okay! thanks so much for letting me know ^^

yes please! maybe more people will see it there

- wearing mens' clothes, especially mens' jeans - when my chest appears flat, or feels flat when i'm lying down - being called my chosen name, especially by a new person - putting my hands in my pockets. don't know why! - when i'm sick and my voice sounds deeper and raspier than normal - vintage and...

ah, also my bad!! somehow i missed that there's a gender section! i should have put this post there

no worries! that sounds good <3

so, when i was 15 or so, i started questioning my gender and came out as nonbinary. i experimented with a lot of different pronouns and terms underneath that umbrella until I started facing some sexual trauma at 17, which freed me from dysphoria and allowed me to not have to obsess over labels anymo...

thank you so much for your response <3 luckily, i think i'm starting to get through it the way you did. i do have a good therapist, and slowly but surely, i think my social circle is widening. my mom just started dating a guy for the first time in over a decade who's really nice, and last month i ma...

thanks so much for your advice, this is so helpful!! i'll definitely see if i can see someone new!

hi there! so i have visited a gyn a few times for infections before; my most recent time, i mentioned that i get them frequently, and unfortunately it was like my gyn just ignored that completely. when i've seen doctors for it, i've been prescribed antibiotics and would sometimes purchase over the c...

hey everyone. i pretty much have no extended family left because they're all severely abusive. i don't even have family that most people would consider close. i've been waiting to cut off my relationship with my dad and was finally able to do it when i turned 18, and we had to cut off my oldest brot...

hey scarleteen! i'm already the type of person to frequently get yeast infections, but it started happening even more frequently when i started to masturbate. i will admit my hygiene with it could've been better in the past, but now i do what i can; i wash my hands before and after, change my underw...

ah, okay! thank you so much <3

hey again scarleteen! i (afab) am kind of confused right now, because i'm really not in tune with what my body likes, and i was really just doing whatever while masturbating, but an orgasm came so fast it was actually a tad disappointing LOL. i was almost feeling contractions down there, and i felt ...

thanks so much

hi there! i think it could be a combination of both physical discomfort and just the emotional awkwardness of it. and i did read them; thank you so much for the links! i've also saved them so i can go back and reread them in case i forgot anything. i've been tending to fall down a scarleteen rabbit ...

honestly, i'm not sure how i feel knowing i've been masturbating 😅 kind of uncomfortable, but i suppose it's freeing in a way. better to have done it already than to grapple with the complicated feelings of doing it for the first time. i think i mostly stop while i'm ahead because i get easily overw...

alright, so... i have felt sexual feelings before, maybe once every one or two months, but they have now increased to almost every other day after i've come to terms with having been inappropriately touched by my grandfather when i was 13. though my family nor i are religious anymore, we were extrem...
