Hey Mayue Naoyo, Welcome to the boards! The short answer to your question is: No! There is nothing wrong with being someone who experiences female ejaculation, also known as squirting. I'm sorry to hear your friends responded like that :( Here is piece with a bunch of information about female ejacul...

Hey miembaker, Welcome to the boards :) Sounds like you are dealing with a lot right now! Navigating your relationship with this romantic interest, navigating your relationship with your family, while also trying to listen to yourself...sounds overwhelming! A few questions I have so I can better get...

Hi Reelgirl, Good eye! As you can tell from the Buddy System article, IUDs are incredibly effective at preventing pregnancy on their own--99.2% effective with typical use. IUD + condom is 99.88% effective, and IUD + withdrawal is 99.78% effective. (For comparison, a condom by itself is 86% effective...

I will pipe in to say that when I wanted to become a sex educator I was in a similar boat as you--I was reading a bunch, I was passionate, but I felt I didn't have enough experience to be a teacher and knew I had a lot to learn. (To be clear, I still have a ton to learn and experience to gain, but I...

Hi terezichan, I'm sorry to hear about the body struggles that you have been facing :( But I am happy that you took the brave step to reach out on the boards. And, though I understand that it is causing stress right now, I am happy to hear that you have a boyfriend that cares about your health and w...

Yes, you and/or your partner will be able to tell if the condom has broken or come off.

Yes, this applies to all Scarleteen users.

Hi amandat12, Your friend is correct that the antibiotic that you were prescribed, Cerfuroxime, may make birth control pills less effective. It's a bit confusing because some antibiotics interfere with birth control pills, some *may* interfere with birth control pills, and others definitely don't. Y...

Hey Amy12345, Welcome to the boards :) I am so glad you found this space! I have to say I feel so relieved to hear that you ended the relationship and that you haven't seen him face to face for almost a year. I want to give you some big props for breaking up with him, I'm sure that was hard! And als...

Hey Masaka, I totally agree that he sounds like a child! I am so happy to hear that you have ended your relationship with him. I know that can be really hard, especially when we've been with someone for awhile, so big props to you! Do you feel proud of yourself? I am not particularly surprised that ...

Hi Masaka, Are you referring to the same boyfriend that you posted about a few weeks ago? I am assuming so, but I just want to clarify. If so, this behavior fits in with the larger pattern you described in your other thread. You are setting a boundary with him. You do not want to get naked or mastur...

Hey ShadowSong21, It seems like you are primarily interested in arguing a point--or a set of points. From what you posted, I think I'm getting a clear sense of your beliefs right now on this subject. It's possible that you and member(s) of the Scarleteen staff may feel differently about certain elem...

Hey J.D., Can an ace and a sexual person have a relationship? Totally depends on the people! It depends on where each person is in their life, what they are looking for, and specifically what they are looking for in their relationship with that other person. Navigating that difference would take ope...

J.D., Thank you so much for what you shared. This is exactly why we have forums for user-to-user discussion, so no need to apologize! Given that Crimson was writing about his experience around family and religion and sexuality, it was definitely appropriate for you to bring up the Bible. So not to w...

Hey moi25, I am resonating so much with what you have shared here! First of all, I want to say a big congratulations for getting to a place where your symptoms aren't interfering in your every day AND where you feel ready to make the quantum leap of being open to meeting someone. I'm sure all that t...

Hey nxnam, When taken within 24 hours of the risk, emergency contraceptive pills can reduce the risk of getting pregnant by 98 percent. You are right that one of the ways emergency contraception (EC) works is by delaying or inhibiting ovulation, but they also work by inhibiting fertilization if ovul...

Hey Saturn, I know it can be really hard when we have feelings for someone, but given your current age (young) and given the size of the age difference (big), it would be sound to let him go. You should look at this piece: Why I Deeply Dislike Your Older Boyfriend . Likely some of it won't be releva...

Hey thecabbagepatch, Welcome to the boards :) Glad you have found the site helpful! Not sure if you have already read this piece, but if not you should check out: Sexual Response & Orgasm: A Users Guide . One of the things it says is: "It's really tough to describe what an orgasm feels like...

Hey floweronsaturn, Hope it's okay that I'm jumping in. So sorry to hear about what you are going through :( One of the resources Sam is referring to The Turning Point, which she mentioned was the sexual assault resource nearest you. I clicked on their website (http://www.theturningpoint.org/) and l...

Hi coffeemug, I am so sorry for the majorly delayed response! As I was going through old board posts I notice that none of our staff had replied to you. Every once and awhile something slips by us--apologies. First of all, are your questions and concerns around this feeling similar to a month and a ...

Hey Lolgal, I want to start off by saying that for someone your age a three-year-long romantic relationship is super long! As Heather explained in another board post, "For the youngest teens, romantic/sexual relationships tend to last no more than a few weeks on average. For teens in the middle...

Hi olealis, From my understanding, yes that would make sense. But also remember that your period is not technically "late" yet. A period is only considered late if it is has not arrived 5 days after the latest it is expected. Here is more on late periods: M.I.A or, Dude, Where's My Period? .
