As a person with a vagina reaches puberty, yes it is common for an increase in vaginal discharge. I will link this additional article that talks about the connection to puberty in more depth: https://www.scarleteen.com/article/bodies/not_everything_you_wanted_to_know_about_puberty_but_pretty_darn_cl...

Hi Ayn534, It seems as though your current options would be to stay with your friend or stay with your aunt and uncle. The first step could be discussing your options for your situation with your friend and/or your extended family. Is this something you feel you are able to do? This would be helpful...

Hi Staysoft, Just to reiterate what Latha told you, there is nothing inherently wrong with fantasies that we have as well as we often have sexual fantasies that we have no interest in enacting in real life. Sometimes one of the pros of fantasies is that they are a way to explore different scenarios ...

Hi Naurmi008, It can be very difficult to come to terms with the ways negative messaging has affected us so I commend you for taking the steps to work through that. The use of the word "internalized" here would mean that you are queer in some way and are applying homophobic biases to yours...

I'm so glad ! Let me know if you need any other assistance and have a good day as well !

Yes. Just keep an eye on it over the next couple of days. If this is something that is causing you anxiety or you feel fixated on, we can also discuss ways to understand and deal with that as well.

I can't say for certain how long the pain will last and also can not diagnose you in this setting. I would say take a break from clitoral stimulation for the moment and if the pain does not go away or decrease/if new symptoms arise then that would be the time for get help from a health care provider...

Hi Ginger!! Clit sensitivity after masturbation is normal, especially if you are masturbating in a way that is touching or rubbing the clit directly because it is such a sensitive area of the body. A good rule of thumb for this sort of thing is if you are attempting to masturbate and it is causing p...

Hi Flowerviolet001, There is no one "normal" or right way to masturbate, masturbation is all about doing what feels good physically and mentally. As you saw, that is not an incredibly uncommon way of masturbation. If this feels good this could be something to consider once you are able to ...

Hi Rodya,

Of course, let us know if you would like to talk about or prepare for the conversation of if you need help with anything else!

Hi PleaseHelpAsap, I'm sorry this has still been a source of stress for you since your last post. Would you say when this happens, your clitoris becomes too sensitive to touch? Clitoral stimulation is very pleasurable for some, but can become too intense or even painful for others if experiences las...

Hi Terence,

When you close your blind, is there a light in your room you can access so it is not so dark? Even just a small desk lamp could be useful in this instance so you can have some light to see what you are doing.

Hi Rodya, Thanks for the added context. I agree with Heather's assessment that this relationship may be causing more stress or anxiety than positive influence to your life. It must be very tiring to have to be so vigilant in your responses to him to feel like you deserve kindness or just normal aspe...

Hi Skybushh, It is pretty natural human behavior to not want to bring up things that we feel may receive a negative response, but if these feelings are continually coming up in a relationship that is often cause for concern or pause. Something like making a new friend or spending time with this new ...

Hi Chocolate Moose, There are glands located on either side of the vaginal opening, small glands called Bartholin's glands. There are also the Skene's glands below the urethra. These glands produce fluid that lubricates the vagina. I will link a source where you can learn more: https://www.scarletee...

Hi Wynntxr, Can you tell me a little more about how that part of your brain decides what is cool or uncool? For example, if you were to explore more with masturbation (something extremely normal and healthy), what would this part of your brain be telling you? Are these reactions rooted more in shame...

Hi anonymous2354, Welcome to the Boards! Thank you so much for sharing how you are feeling. It can be extremely difficult to have someone in your life you are close to and admire, but can not help comparing yourself to. When I was your age I felt similarly about myself and my best friend, and I felt...

Hi Ryan111, Welcome to the Boards! Sperm are very delicate, so they can only survive outside the body for so long and could not survive the trip from the penis to the hand to the condom to the vagina. The only time there is a risk of pregnancy is if there is direct genital-to-genital contact or if e...

Hi Cool-person-22, Welcome to the Boards! What you are experiencing is unfortunately a relatively common aspect of growing up and becoming comfortable with one's sexuality. Due to things like sexist body standards, depictions in media, or just societal myths- many people are often left unfairly comp...

Hi Chailover2, I know we have discussed in the past that you were searching for professional help for your anxiety- how has that search been going? It seems like your anxiety is taking a significant toll on your life as well as your relationship. Also, did you want to expand on how you feel not bein...

Hi Mreoww, Let us know if you would like any help or advice in either finding a doctor or talking to a parent about receiving medical care for these symptoms. Also taking a look at the post that Sofi linked for you can give you a good idea of how to proceed safely with these forms of DIY toys that y...

Hi Chailover2! In general, in romantic relationships, it is very normal to develop crushes on other people. There are so many people in the world there is nothing wrong with acknowledging attraction to others, even if we have no plans to act on it and are secure in our current relationship. That bei...

Hi Thisisplore, Welcome to the Boards There is no risk of pregnancy in this scenario. Sperm cells are very fragile and can not survive the trip from the penis to the hand to the vagina. The only time there is a risk for pregnancy is when there is direct contact between genitals or direct contact of ...

Hi Girll18, Off the bat some things to keep in mind are making sure that both parties in your relationship are equally enthusiastic as well as have taken the time to think of what they are personally comfortable so that you can develop boundaries for the event. Things like touching, talking, looking...

Hi Mreoww, Thank you for the added context, that is helpful. Were you able to take a look at the resource I posted for you? Taking a look at that and telling me what you think could help understand more how to tackle this problem. There is some advice and other links toward the end of the article, e...
