Just as an addition, be sure to remember the idea that sexual coercion or lack of consent is somehow biological, due to someone's sex or gender, is false. In other words, none of this is because of this person's gender - are guys who do not act like this somehow not guys? - but because of someone's ...

You just want to take your pill as you normally would, not stop early.

Perhaps you can ask that friend if you can crash with them for a while, period?

For some people, those terms are interchangeable, and just mean "attracted to more than one gender." For others, they're a bit different. Some people who identify as bisexual mean they are only attracted to cisgender men and women, and some people who identify as pansexual do because it fe...

Glad it's useful to you! We know sex is way bigger than who puts what part where, so we wanted a list that really addressed the big picture. :) You know, if you feel like this person intellectually understands what you need, but isn't yet able to manage that in action, your best bet -- and given som...

My sense, Atonement (it's been so nice to see you back around, btw!) is that when it comes to the sexism in these double-standards, it's not really that only women dating younger men - and of course, hello heterocentrism with all of this -- is seen as predatory, but that many, if not most, cultures ...

I understand, and am still around for a bit if you'd like.

Ultimately, you just are going to have to wait this out. In the meantime, you can try a cool bath (no bubble bath or other bath stuff, which often irritates genitals), making sure you are wearing loose clothing, including undergarments, made of natural fibers, and/or a little aloe vera gel (but only...

The way I see it is that I don't know what I like/don't like all that well, so by letting him guide the direction within my limits allows me to get a sense for what he likes and experience different things, at which point I can speak up if that's not what I want. I guess I feel like I don't really ...

Again, this is something your prescribing physician has the answer to. What they suggest is what you, as a patient, follow. And if ever you find you have a healthcare provider where you don't feel confident with their advice, then it's time to switch to one where you do.

We're very clear in our user guidelines about what results in a ban, as well as the fact that we don't just ban people outright out of nowhere. No need for anyone here to have that concern.

Glad to have been of help. Also really glad to hear you getting so much support from your current partners!

If you get a period after intercourse, you have clearly not become pregnant.

If you are having unprotected intercourse, and want help figuring out safer sex and contraception, we are glad to help!

Too, what do YOU want? For instance, you two could negotiate opening up your relationship so you stay together in so e respects but both explore dating others, within negotiated limits. Or, you could talk about a breakup, if all of any of this is outside what you want, or, of course, if the way he i...

You got it!

This all sounds utterly wretched, and I am so sorry you're in the midst of it. :( Realistically speaking, this is one of those things that you certainly could report, but chances are, it will not even get filed. So, that is something I would think about per reporting: if it would still feel like the...

I absolutely agree that romantic and sexual relationships being brand new to you is a huge factor here. By all means, it is very hard to figure out what is and is not healthy, and too, I'd say, what is intensity, and what is just messed up. I think all of what you said here is really good stuff and ...

There really isn't something like that that is complete and public access, no. Ultimately, your prescribing physician, with either medication is whose words you want to give the most weight to.

How about you just play it safe and back up? That way you don't have to try and do a bunch of research, especially if you keep getting conflicting sources, and can just cover your bases, easy, with no worries.

As I recall, you're in a new relationship, so condom use is a must, anyway.

It's not unreasonable to ask for your own stuff and your own spaces, no. We get to do that with anyone we live or share things with. So, you just ask to sit down and sort out some break-up practical odds and ends, is all, saying it's mostly about stuff and just making living in the same space, if th...

Even with vomiting, two hours after taking the pill is not going to present issues. Almost everyone's digestive systems work much faster than that.

I'd say a pretty good rule of thumb in life is that when something seems outlandish, it probably is.

If you swallowed your pill fine when you took it hours before, not only would it no longer be in your throat, you've also likely fully metabolized it by then.

I throw vegetables at zombies. :) Okay, that's only one of the things I do, but it sounds a lot more fun than the rest. Some other good ones for me have been: - Boxing and mixed martial arts (hint: you can always tape something unto your heavy bag. President Bush's face was frequently pinned unto mi...

I also wanted to mention that it's really unfortunate your stepmother passed on that stereotype to you, though it's something we have unfortunately seen parents do a LOT, especially when it comes to stereotypes about men and sex. Sadly, what it most often reflects are their own personal experiences,...

One other aspect to all of this is paying attention to your own wants and feelings and giving them real weight. I saw you having SO much anxiety and hard feelings within this relationship, but what I did not see was you really considering that those feelings were valid, and you were having them beca...
