Posts from the old boards
If you used our old boards, you'll notice we've moved some posts and threads from them here to the new boards. Unfortunately, we could not automatically migrate the data from the old boards. All we can do is manually copy some things over and then leave the old boards as a read-only archive. And we ...

Sex when your whole freaking world is terrifying
Because we serve young people internationally, some of you are posting from areas or parts of the world which are in extreme crisis right now, and where you're literally surrounded by violence, war or fear. That alone is obviously incredibly stressful. That alone would obviously create anxiety, pani...

When you say "We had sex," why do we say "What do you mean b
This may be very obvious to some of our users, but less obvious, or not at all clear to others. I figured we should remind everyone about this and be clear so everyone can understand. Why is our asking that totally obvious to some people but not others? Well, it's probably obvious to people who: • a...

When You Don't Want to Have Sex (Yet. Or ever.)
Are you choosing not to engage in sex with a partner, or limit what kinds of sex you are having with others in some way? As you hopefully already know, it is always just as okay to choose NOT to be sexual with others as it is to choose to be sexual with others, for any reason, whether that's about r...

Maybe a sibling, best friend, parent or guardian has a pregnancy that has become or is becoming a big part of your life. Maybe s...
