Re: Too Early for Sterilization?
Hi Sexpositivity, So, you've already hit upon the first thing I was going to say, which is that this is ultimately your choice and your body, so you get to do what you feel best suits your needs. I don't think you're too young to be considering sterilization. You know your body and what you feel it'...

Did You Have "The Talk" as a Kid?
So, in the U.S at least, there's this cliche of "the talk" where a parent sits down with their kid (who's usually about 11 or 12) and talks to them about sex. Which got me wondering: how many people actually get a talk like this from their parents? And what topics do those talks cover? And...

Re: I can orgasm, but I can't come
Hi hellarad, So, first off, what kind of body parts are involved here? Because if your have a vagina, then squirting/ejaculating is actually not that common with orgasm. Beyond that, if it feels awesome and you're enjoying yourself, is there a particular reason you're worried about the lack of fluids?

Re: Period problem?
Hi wildprincess, When we say a light period, we're generally referring to a period where there is not a lot of flow and usually mild symptoms. Of course, a light period is a little bit of a subjective measure, because every person is different when it comes to their average flow. But, as we've said ...

The thing is, the only person who can answer your questions about how he's feeling and what he wants? Is him. So, I do not think it's out of line to contact him in a day or so, and see how things go from there. Have the two of you discussed your relationship details at any point during the time you'...

The conversation doe not have to happen right now, especially if you think he might be at work or in transit, although I would bring up the idea of the bigger talk pretty soon, since you sound like you'd prefer to hash this out sooner rather than later. Like I said, you may want to even take a day o...

How do you define the term "crush?"
"Crush" is one of those words that a lot of folks use, but the definition is really variable from person to person. So, inquiring minds want to know: what does it "having a crush" on someone mean to you? For me, crush is closer to admiration that anything else. When I have a crus...

Re: Pregnancy? A lot of pain!
So, the boards that are saying that sperm can "leak" out of a correctly used condom are wrong. As long as a condom was used correctly, you can assume that it did its job (but we can never say that intercourse is 100% without risk). So, in your case, it sounds like the condom neither broke ...

Re: Pregnancy? A lot of pain!
Hi itsmeisa, So, since you used condoms and withdrawl on the most recent incident, you chances of pregnancy from that are very, very, very low. However, if you are concerned about pregnancy, taking a home test is the way to get your answer. As for your cycle questions, it's very possible that Plan B...

Re: Emergency contraceptives and its effectiveness
Hi Djim, So, this type of sex will always pose some risk of pregnancy. And it sounds like the effectiveness of the condom was compromised. However, at this point, you've done all that you can do by taking Plan B immediately after the incident. When taken within 24 hours of the incident, plan B is up...

It's normal to not want sex every single time it comes up even if you still, on the whole, are into sex with your...

Hi DulceDiva,
That does sound really frustrating. So, what would be helpful to you: working out some ways for you to create a safe space to explore your sexuality in and/or ways to talk to your mom about allowing your more privacy? Or something else?
