Re: Can't get to my clit.

Hi skins, and welcome to the boards. What you're describing is actually pretty common. Many people have small clits that hide under their hoods. When you become aroused, the clit fills with blood and can actually swell up and become more visible/accessible. Getting aroused also makes your clit more ...

Re: My feelings about my gender is changing rapidly

Hi transfemandgay, I'm curious how you feel innately about gender. You've mentioned wanting to be seen as a hot femboy, or seen as girly, which are both presentations of gender, and related to but not quite the same as your personal internal experience of gender (like Heather mentioned earlier). Wha...

Re: why isn't kissing nice?

Hi monsoonjack, It sounds like you have a pretty good sense of what you want and don't want at this point in the relationship, which is great. Just to echo Sam, it's completely fine if kissing isn't a thing you enjoy or even want to do. I'm glad you like seeing your girlfriend happy - that's a mark ...

Re: Transmission through urine?

Hi Katagat, and welcome to the boards. This seems pretty unlikely, for a couple of reasons. First, most infections you're probably worried about aren't transmitted through urine. Most STIs are associated with the genitals, and won't be transmitted through a small amount of urine that ends up on the ...

Re: Why can’t I find a girlfriend?

Those are real concerns/struggles you're feeling, and there might just not be too much you can do to change things right now. Because of the pandemic, people may simply be less willing to try and start up long-distance relationships right now. There's a lot of uncertainty for everyone. That doesn't ...

HI Sabine, Those plans sound good! As for the Danish girl, there's no way to know what she wants except to just ask. I totally hear you on the fear of being ghosted - that's a reasonable concern, especially these days. But if you don't ask her how she feels or whether she'd be interested in some kin...

Hi tearsforfears, Can I ask if you're able, or if you've tried, to insert a finger into yourself first? Trying to figure out where to go with the tampon won't give you much feedback to know if you're in the right spot or how relaxed you are. If you start with a finger (and you can use lube to help y...

Hi Townhall, It sounds like you have some good self-awareness of the huge amount of anxiety that sex and the risk of pregnancy are causing you.
