Re: Dry Humping using condom

You could, but there would be no need for it (full clothing provides complete barriers from anything your body fluids or skin could do), and it might wind up tearing in the process.

Re: Struggle masturbating

Hey there, Jax, welcome to the boards.

So, is this a kind of shaking that keeps you from being comfortable or able, physically, or hurts in some way? Or is it just something that happens that you are wondering why it happens?

Re: Discharge

So, sounds like there's probably no cause for concern about it. If it were those other colors, or smelly, then we'd have reason to be concerned about a possible infection, but just more discharge and more fluid discharge is totally normal, especially at the age you're at. The amount of discharge you...

Hi there, naurmi.

What's the color like with that discharge? Is it grayish, greenish or yellowish? Or more like whitish or clear?

Re: Urethra

Hi there, Bromine, welcome to the boards. :) It's actually really hard to even see the urethral opening, it's so small. (The urethra is a tube inside the body: we can't see it from the outside at all.) I do think that describing it as usually flat is accurate. There's an image here made for medical ...

Aha! It does indeed sound like you found your clitoral glans. Thanks for answering those questions for me. It does sound like you might be putting some pressure on to your body to perform that could be some of why you're not feeling a lot of sensation there. Too, the whole of the clitoris is WAY big...

Re: 20 year old virgin

This is very clearly an emotionally abusive relationship that is becoming sexually abusive. The only thing that anyone can do to do right by themselves in that situation is to get out, or, if they need time to do that -- like because they live with the person, or have kids with them -- to make a pla...

It sounds to me like what they were probably trying to do was to help you be sure that any bloodwork they repeated would be covered by your insurance.

Hi ther, Jenschmii. I would strongly advise that you not approach any masturbation with the mindset of trying to reach orgasm. That's something called "spectatoring" -- this thing where people are sexual and are super focused on making orgasm happen -- and it's onle of the things most asso...

Re: Hard lump in vagina

It does sound like you think: that it's your cervix. And, because when we're pooping, we're both generally sitting at an angle, and pushing on muscles to move our bowels, it absolutely can happen that the cervix is closer to the vaginal opening then and much easier to feel. I don't personally think ...

Well, you won't usually be able to order your own blood work through insurance, anywhere, period. Or other tests. You need a healthcare provider to order those tests on your behalf. Patients can't just order their own tests, for the most part. What a given PP provider/branch can do varies a lot betw...

Re: Do I actually have to take my birth control at the exact same time every day?

Better to know 20 years ahead, if you ask me. Since it wasn't timed with your period, it IS possible that that's the reason for your mid-cycle bleeding, and if that's the case, it should stop doing that in a couple more cycles. When started with a period, that tends to be less likely. Still, and all...

I'm very sorry to tell you that this having spotting or bleeding you can't predict, sometimes for weeks at a time, is also a thing you'll likely experience with perimenopause, just so you can brace yourself in advance. This might sound like a foolish question, but by any chance did you start taking ...
