Re: unsure what to make of this

Hi sky, I hope it's okay that I'm jumping in here. How do you feel after doing all those things because you feel aroused or guilty for wasting the other person's time? If you don't feel so great after that, then it's an indicator to avoid doing that in the future. Whenever you find yourself in momen...

Re: Anxiety about pregnancy scare

Hi cxxxxxxxz,

Re: Masturbation and summer camp

Hi Nessa709, Yeah, I'm sure the anxiety of being caught makes it almost impossible to relax and do anything. As I said previously, I really do think there will be some difficulty finding private time to masturbate. We might not have the answer you're looking for, other than just preparing your body ...

Hi again sky! Yes, that makes a lot of sense! It's really upsetting to hear that she knows about your boundaries regarding sex yet made that comment. Even if it did slip her mind, it wasn't cool of her. I'm really sorry. How are you thinking about moving forward with this friendship after this? How/...

Re: Depo provera effectiveness

Hi 55,

I hope it's okay that I'm jumping in here! Similar to what Sam said, the shot sends hormones into your bloodstream, so its contents do not stay in one place. I am not a professional though, so I think you might want to contact your doctor for some clarification!

Although, the best move here is to reach out to your healthcare provider before moving forward with any of this. I know t...

Re: Risk of pregnancy? (Penis on vagina)

Hi etty, Thanks for reaching out and welcome to the boards! The lifespan of sperm is short outside of the body so if you had ejaculated earlier, there should not be any remaining sperm to worry about; however, there is always a risk involving pre-cum.
