Re: Birth control pill
My concern is that it has happened more than once (right?), and the pamphlet might refer to unrelated vomiting, whereas yours is showing a pattern in which it might be caused by the medication. As I said it *could* be related to effectiveness, rather than that it definitely is. It sounds like this h...

Re: Birth control pill
Hi Hearth, I would recommend going to see your doctor as vomiting could cause the pill not to be effective. So it sounds like you could do with finding a more suitable method of contraception. If you want to have a look around, we have a fair bit of information on the different options: Birth Contro...

Re: Does the penis really need guidance during sex?
Hi Mellonhead, hope I can help, I think what's missing here is perhaps recognising massive the variation in how people have sex, and the ways that are comfortable for them. So rather than there being 'the female' or 'the male' we tend to talk more about the specific people involved, when we're givin...

Re: I Want to be More Than Just a Sex Toy
Hey thinkmcflythink, It really sucks to feel that way, I'm wondering if there might be more to this. I'm hearing he said he left you because he wasn't comfortable, and because maybe he felt he was hurting you. I'd say, unless you expressed to him you were feeling hurt, then that's a misplaced concer...

Re: How do I know what Im Touching
Hi Jtails2, Welcome to Scarleteen. While it's worth checking out anatomical diagrams and using mirrors to see what you're touching etc. (Here is our article on the matter: http://www.scarleteen.com/article/bodies/anatomy_pink_parts_female_sexual_anatomy) really masturbation is your way of finding ou...

Re: What even, evolution?
I guess this is maybe part of why average anatomical sizes of stuff (and some ideas of evolution) doesn't tell the full story. There are a lot of shapes and sizes that go together to make up that average, not to mention that people tend to have sex in lots of ways and positions. The idea of the leng...

Re: Do you find it hard to hold your boundaries?
I think the hard thing for me is when someone just into me and quite sensitive. I don't want someone to feel bad or that they've been rejected especially if they take it to mean something bad about their self-worth. They don't intend to push boundaries (if they did it'd be easier to say no), but if ...

Re: It hurts when I pee
Hope you are ok! It is also worth knowing that anyone can get a UTI, sex or no. So you don't need to disclose... If that makes seeing a doctor easier. Plus it sounds like you might have also been having sex in an uncomfortable way... and that sucks. It doesn't have to be like that. Do you think you ...

Hey FairyEve, I think the question here is just of what's best for you. I'd say that if someone grabs you that it can be considered a form of assault, but a difficult to prosecute one, so calling the police may make work for you, without a great deal to show for it. On the other hand I wouldn't 'let...

Re: Confused
Hi Ru!
So sorry to hear this is happening, it sounds horrible!
Is there anything else in your life brining you stress at the moment?
I know that I can get weird feelings about sex when my mental health is playing up.

Hi Marilyn! Welcome to scarleteen! This sounds like a classic case of 'get-some-lube'. So don't worry, there's nothing wrong with you. As you suspected the pinkness sounds to melike it would be due to friction. I'd say that soreness is pretty much standard when having penetrative sex a lot, especial...

Re: masturbation
Hey again confused! Basically masturbation is anything someone does on their own to get sexual pleasure. This sometimes means rubbing or massaging their genitals... people mostly find their own ways by just trying stuff out. Maybe scroll down and see if any of our articles help? http://www.scarletee...

Sorry to hear all of this! I would say there is a certain amount of taboo in the UK, but not to the same degree. You are expected to go through with your everyday life if you're having a period no bans (as far as I'm aware) from places of worship... although like any society it's actually going to h...

I've never really thought much about it, but actually one of the questions I hear most is "Should I be worried?" and at second glance I actually do find it a bit odd! I can see, the part of the question which is asking 'In your opinion is everything ok?' but I honestly can't think of any s...

Hi IDK, welcome to Scarleteen!

Hi Oj! I suppose if I take your question really literally, I wonder why anyone 'should' be worried about anything at all...

Hi Skater,
If it's just a bodily reaction there isn't really a whole lot you can do about it... but I understand it can be embarassing anyway! Have other people said anything to you about it, or do you think it's just you who feels worried?
