Hey there: the better way to make that switch is just to move your previous/duplicate thread. I'll do that for you right now!

Re: Unusual period after EC
I also want to add that having a period due 7 days after apparent ovulation tells you that your tracker isn't giving you accurate information, because that would be much too soon for a period to come after ovulating. None of those trackers can give very accurate ovulation information, just so you kn...

Re: Condom fell off when he pulled out and I had cum on inner leg. Help!
Runmelon, given that you're very clear you don't want to become pregnant, would you also like to talk about other methods you can back up condom use with in the future, ongoing methods rather than EC? I'm happy to walk you through some options, if you like.

Re: I don’t think I can reach orgasm?
Hey there, Arghdaq. So, I'm thinking that it might be that the bigger issue at hand here isn't about what you are or are not doing physically, but what's going on in your head. We can be doing things that have felt amazing in the past, and using sex toys that we love, but if something is afoot psych...

Re: My mom wants to force me to get a virginity test as well as a pregnancy test at the gynecologist
Hi there, random. I'm having a little bit of trouble ascertaining exactly what the legal rights of a minor in the Philippines are when it comes to this kind of medical treatment, but let me start with what I know for sure first. There is no such thing as "virginity testing," and that's bec...

Re: Can’t Masterbate w/o Squeezing Legs
I didn’t tell you this is the only way you will ever masturbate. I said quite the opposite, actually. I think you are stressing about a thing you just don’t need to, truly. You can experiment and explore new things over time: there is rarely only one way anything feels good to someone. But if you’re...

Re: fingering
Hi there, and welcome to the boards. So, there's no one "right" way for anyone to do any sexual activity, whether someone is using their hands with another person's genitals or doing something else. There's only what does and doesn't feel good to the people involved, and how responsive eve...

Re: Can’t Masterbate w/o Squeezing Legs
I think that whenever you explore sex with a partner, you'll discover that there are a lot of things you might do together that create this exact same or a very similar kind of stimulation. Also, people who are okay enough with themselves and us to be good sexual partners won't have issues with the ...

When you are back in school after your break, does your school offer student mental health services, or other services to help students manage stress? If so, how about looking into those for yourself?

I've already answered you about the length of her cycle. I understand you're feeling anxious, but circling back to it again and again is something we know only helps KEEP people in anxiety, rather than helping them out of it. We also need to ask people not to ask us to keep explaining the same thing...

Re: Using they/them
Hey, mika.
The way they is used in English as a collective and a singular noun, either of those verb tenses would be technically correct, but I'd say that it's more common to use "are" in that example than "is."

Re: How many nerve endings are in the vagina?
You know, Rachel, I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm not a fan of the whole framework of "deformity" whether we are talking about a face or any other body parts. It's an ableist framework because it suggests there is one right way to have a body, and that there are ways that body parts...

So, you can't tell that by inserting a finger. heck, doing that only even gives so much information to a trained sexual healthcare provider. The way to ascertain that best is to start with a sexual healthcare appointment and visit, then you have a baseline -- of knowing from the provider everything ...

I think that at this point, the best thing you can do is just leave this where it is, save that maybe the next time you see him at work, apologizing to him for putting any kind of pressure on him, or for making his workplace uncomfortable. You can then let him know that while, as he knows, you have ...

No one is harmed by just not masturbating, in any situation. While masturbation and other sexual acitivites can sure be nice, they are not actually essential for anyone's health.

So, really mike, this just sounds like a pretty simple matter: when you want to masturbate less, or don't want to when you feel the desire to, you just don't. It seems pretty fully within your control, and like it's more a matter of just learning how to get okay with the temporary discomfort or disa...
