I have talked with him about this. I told him it's not about him, I don't want to break up with him, but I'm concerned since this is my first relationship. He mostly just listened and we agreed I'm anxious and self-destructive--which is the reason I'm in therapy now. I went later today, and there's ...

Those links look good--I'll check them out later tonight. Thank you! I just want to be able to know my friends a little bit longer, but also I want them to initiate more stuff with me. I don't want to be stuck always asking to do things and them saying they're busy, only to never get back with me, y...

I think I'd like some resources to self-soothe, yeah. Sometimes I try locking myself up in a bathroom and breathing steady, but that never works for very long. Even when I'm able to stay calm, it always pops back up again stronger than before. Things like baking work, but I don't have the money to d...

Hello, I’m super-duper scared and confused right now, and I’m not sure what to do. Life’s been kind of rough lately. My sister just got out of the hospital, and she’s not doing as well as we’d hoped. My therapist has tried to tell me I might be autistic, which would explain a lot of things, but I’m ...

Hello, So... this one might take a while to explain. To start with, I've always been very interested in BDSM, way before I started having partnered sex. Once I got into my first relationship, we experimented with lots of things--and it all felt good and new, and exciting. And sometimes, yeah, it bec...

Thank you, it actually does make me feel better. It mostly just took me by surprise. Don’t get me wrong; he’s not super-duper jealous, but he’s dealt—and has only recently begun to overcome—feelings of worthlessness throughout his life. I suppose I was scared of adding to that. Additionally, one of ...

I guess it’s because 1) I know it’s hurt him and I don’t like keeping secrets 2) I’m uncomfortable with the fact that it happened, however briefly, and I’d like to know how to deal if it happens again 3) Something like this hasn’t been an issue before... I know it’s not cheating in any way but it st...

Hey,

Just had really good sex with my partner, but quick question:

Is it ok that I got brief glimpses of a fantasy of having sex with someone else...? And should I tell my boyfriend about it?

Thanks

I mean, I'm mostly doing fine, now that they've figured out where they're going to put her, and knowing she'll likely be ok there. I just wish there was something more for me to do. I learned this morning that she's asked for sex from older men before this--like from her teacher. I'm glad she wants ...

Hey, I know this isn't exactly what ya'll do, but I'm not sure who else to talk to. My younger sister, at 15 years old, got put into a mental facility around last month--maybe two months ago. She has been feeling suicidal for a very, very long time, often crying herself to sleep at night and shuttin...

I hate shaving. The first time I shaved my legs was my first semester in college, and that was only because my parents made me. I remember crying while doing it in the shower. I remember being told how nice and smooth my legs were supposed to feel now, but I just remember that they didn't even feel ...

Yes, it does, thank you so much! I appreciate it.

Hey guys, So, me and the boyfriend have been messing around with S&M type stuff, and I realized I really like the feeling of being dominated and being "used", as long as there's cuddling in the end, lol. Usually I'm good at doing my own research, but there's some stuff I couldn't seem ...

Dear all, Currently, the only slightly relevant non-profits in my area look to be the YMCA, United Way, the Chapin Foundation, a Literacy Council, a Family Learning Center Unit, a Community Foundation, Family Outreach, and Help 4 Kids. I do intend to call each of these to see if I can teach, as well...

First of all, I would like to give a big THANK YOU from the very bottom of my heart to every single person that helps runs this site and works, no matter how small, to provide inclusive and accurate sex education to everyone. There are so few places like this, but there mere fact that there is gives...

Hey guys, So... I guess I just want some help. I'm moving in with my boyfriend pretty soon--I basically live there already, I'll just start paying rent and making food now--but I'll be moving with him, his mom, and his brother. I don't know how to feel. At times, I'm excited about being able to live...

I just don't understand why women still aren't given choices, even from "feminists" who claim to be all about women making choices. I don't understand why my conservative friend, who is waiting until marriage, has been called a "prude" by so-called feminists. I don't understand t...

Hi Guys! I was so excited last night to try female condoms with my boyfriend... and... it was a mega-fail. We'd put the condom in as deep as it could go but the ring kept slipping out. (I've never fared well with things inside me, unless it's sexual... I tried the ring birth control before, which th...

That's the thing... I don't know what I'm scared of. I took the plunge last night. At first it was awkward, cuz we were both too nervous to be fully aroused. I didn't hurt--it was just kinda uncomfortable. Didn't last longer than a minute. This morning we tried again and it was better: we went at it...

Hey! So... a long time ago, before I knew any better, I made a promise to stay abstinent before marriage. And I held onto that for a very long time. Intercourse was sacred, and I wasn't going to break the Bible's code of conduct. Skip ahead to age twenty. No longer a Christian, still a God-lover, an...

Aye! Thank you so much for this site! Alright, well... here goes... Just the other day my boyfriend attempted to fist my vagina. He got all five fingers in to the knuckles--the widest part of his hand. I loved it and wanted it... but when he pulled out there was brown discharge flaked on his hand. I...
