Re: how would you handle this?

Ahah, I should have guessed that, thanks.

That sounds like it could be helpful, if your comfortable with it, and might make it easier to start the conversation with him afterwards or spot any red flags.

Re: Physical distancing, emotional distance

I'm glad he's been good with boundaries otherwise! Have you talked about it more since it happened? For me it's still a little unclear what he meant by saying that "it would be too hard for him to hold back"... that sounds a bit like he's saying he can't control his own actions, which he t...

Re: how would you handle this?

Hi again! It sounds like the type of approval you'd predict from him could be part of the problem! It's a strange type of homophobia when guys make women's relationships with eachother all about them . I don't think it'd be a bad idea to let him know this is something that concerns you. I don't thin...

Re: am I faking nipple sensitivity?

Hi! I think it's possible that we never really can fully 'know' our bodies. Some advice on the topic is probably a little misleading or unrealistic. Many types of touch on different parts of our body aren't going to feel the same every time, and you're right, I am going to say the brain can't be sep...

Re: Basically angry people make me nervous help

Hi aaa! Welcome to the boards! This sounds like it's been tough. I know I'm pretty sensitive to these things too, and even if I know someone is simply expressing anger in very minor (non-smashy) ways, it still scares me, and is deeply unpleasant. They might be letting off steam in a socially accepta...

Re: my mom wants to control my life!

Cassie responsded to your thread with a new question about her own experiences so Sam split it off to be Cassie's own thread.

Re: Periods

Hi Indi! Yep, it's very common, especially if you don't have a heavy flow for 'brown discharge' to show up. Actually that's just what blood looks like after a while; the iron in the period oxidises and results in the brownish colour. Lots of people also have a varied or inconsistent periods and it i...

Hi Crystal_River! That sounds like a great conversation to have had with your boyfriend.

Hi Sky H! If you do a websearch of sexual health clinics they might and are likely to have a phone number or email address you can use to ask about privacy and getting hold of condoms. Local LGBT groups you can connect with online might also be a really good call! In terms of finding a good hiding p...

Hi Sky! I think it's worth exploring things even if they do 'sound' odd or unfamiliar... lots of us have the kinds of sex that might be considered 'odd' but that doesn't mean they are odd. People's actual sex activities are way more varied than we are led to think... and some things that are treated...

Re: How did you 'figure out' your sexual identity?

A big thing that helped me was getting rid of the 'default' identities I was sticking to because other people accused me of being 'not normal' before I had a chance to decide for myself. If you start off with 'I'm not gay!' because someone was homophobic, it makes things confusing. So a first step w...

Hi Contemplation! Thanks for asking this question, it's a good one!

Hi! I can relate to lots of this, it can be a whirlwind for the mind when different and changing aspects of our likes, dislikes, identities, bodies and sexualities are marked as 'masculine' or 'male' or 'feminine' or 'female' or 'gender-neutral' or 'agender'.
