Ah, a female who “tops”; too raunchy for hetero-normative, ‘vanilla’ sex & too “niché” to be noticed in BDSM. Dominant females are stuck inside a sexual purgatory. I’m a girl who likes to take control in the bedroom, and no, I don’t do it to “switch things up” for my partner. I’m dominant becaus...

Fantasy, at least in my connotative way, means a person indulging in thoughts/positing/viewings, although they don’t partake in these “actions” off-screen. The person indulging in these fantasies are “the script writer” rather than “the actor” So in easier terms: “If I’m just fantasying about it, do...

The sex-positive community has made break-throughs of breaking societal connotations and empowering individuals. Although, it concerns me that liberation can sometimes be very damaging. Especially niché online communities that welcomes this. Though most sexual actions and fantasies are harmless, alo...

Somewhat— Since she’s with a very strict family, she gets very iffy if there’s no confidentiality. The best recommendation I gave her was the school counselor, since everything discussed will be held with confidentially. I visit the only school psychologist weekly, and form the previous visit, they ...

Recently, one my friend and I’s friendship fizzled out This is due that I confronted her that the relationship—more importantly— her actions were very toxic. You see here, my friend always comes to me, or my group of friends, for sexual advice. The problem is; - One: most of our friends aren’t strai...

Recently, in my life, I’ve been having a hard time bonding and maintaining steady relationships in my life— this includes all kinds. I usually don’t hang out with people, and due to being reclusive and uninteresting, this results in no one having a desire to hang out with me. I live in a small, cons...

I don’t know if this is a generational thing— of my ideal elements of a relationship is behind times— but is committed monogamy not desired as it used to be anymore; especially with youth I understand that younger people are more curious, and often times, focus on their short-term desires rather the...

Hiya Sam, My therapist hasn’t gave me a direct coping-mechanism for either of those... yet. I don’t know how to address that yet either. Should I just wait to see if they come up with something? I don’t know if I should see a psychiatrist along with my talk-therapy either. I have no idea what my fri...

WARNING (to readers): Obviously from the title, I want to talk about the stigma, and connotation of suicide— not committing suicide itself. So this forum post might be uncomfortable for some users to read. This is also a further discussion rooting from this article posted on Scarleteen itself: http...

Somewhat— I’ve discussed with my therapist that relationships are a difficult thing for me; this includes romantic, friendship, family, co-workers. My life consists with a lack of personal intimacy. While yes, people and relationships change and develop into different phases throughout life, I still...

(Okay, after I logged on, my reply disappeared, so I have to retype my
entry)

Hi there, Siân Honestly, I don’t have a definite answer. Recently, at each therapy session, I tell a collective of thoughts and events that effect me throughout the pervious week. I’m immune with my negative thoughts nowadays, they’re just a part of me. Though, I believe, it’s good to keep in-check ...

Hey there Sam, thanks for asking what’s up. The relationship really torn me apart. In plenty of ways. I’ve re-evaluated myself to a point where I’ve lost my identity, hopeless in my future, and feel like I’m not capable of potential relationships ever again. The things I loved doing before now makes...

Sksksksk, here’s the newest tea, and it’s pretty hot. Have a seat, and lend an ear and listen: My first boyfriend dumped me in early May. He called me boring. Literally. All the trust and intimacy we’ve built together slipped through my fingers unexpectedly. I didn’t have proper closure in our relat...

Thanks! None of this helped me!

Okay, how exactly do you use Plan B? Obliviously, I know it’s used in emergencies, but with STD/Teen Pregnancy scarce, anything sexual sounds like an emergency (lol) A bit of a narrative here, I have protected sex with my boyfriend. From the time of this post, I believe it was a day and a half ago. ...

I’ve recently been taking medicine after a random visit to the doctor. I guess— you can say I’ve had a small checkup, I’ve got examined, similar to something you’ll get at the OBGYN. Although, my medicine will be on my medical reference. Also, I’m not sexually active with any partners. But I do mast...

I’ve neen identifying with being bisexual for about 5 years. When I started entering puberty, I’ve started to feel sexually-awakened by women. This is way before I’ve begun to have interest in boys. I’ve been in a “straight” relationship for quite sometime. I’ve been dating my boyfriend and we’re be...

Ever since I’ve been on birth control, my libido has been very low. Which is no surprise, it’s a common side effect. I don’t want to change prescriptions (since I use hormonal birth control for cystic acne. I don’t feel comfortable transitioning to something like Accutane.) Is there any alternatives...

I learned this year that I keep on crying after partaking in my own sexual-acts.

The first time, I got full antibiotics from the ER. Because yes, my UTI was that awful. I had very bad symptoms. I was prescribed two weeks of medication. The second time, it’s very confusing. I’ve noticed symptoms of a UTI, so I decided to take those over-the-counter Azo pills, which stopped the mo...

I’m currently in a 7-month relationship with boyfriend, and he’s been openly-stating that he’s into Asian girls, which I’m not. He still reassures me that I’m beautiful and I give him all the love and support that none fantasies can fulfill. So yes, I’ve discussed this with him before. Yet he still ...

Unprotected sex, or even called fluid-bonding; we’ve all heard about it. And how many, many people tell us to advoid it like the black-plauge— although, they mean the best intentions... I don’t think people desire STDs. I’ve never had any physical sex with anyone. When I do, I’ll promise to use prot...

Nowadays, I see tons of articles targeted to teens (Refinery29, Cosmopolitan, Seventeen Magazine) sayings that “self-care” is the number-one dependence to resolved all your problems. I don’t believe pampering yourself with bubblebaths, putting on face-masks, drinking water, or forcing yourself to ob...

I’m new here, so sorry if this question breaks the forum’s rules. Apologizing in advance. I’ve been exploring my sexual side with a recently bought sex-toy that I use externally and internally. Although, even being washed (or even boiled) in hot, soapy water this toy continues to give me a UTI (a ur...
