Addiction is a word with a very specific meaning, and using it with things that are not chemical or extrenal is theoretically problematic. Because someone likes watching pornography doesn't indicate addiction. You say you don't want to watch pornography, though. Okay: some people who like watching i...

Again, not sure what you're looking for here. I stand by my previous reply, especially since you are echoing exactly what I said in it here about simply not having yet experienced strong sexual desires yet. Given where you're at in life, and how new this all is to most people around your age, that's...

This is one good place to start: http://www.aimislam.com/lets-not-appropriate-hijab/ Here's another: http://everydayfeminism.com/2013/09/cultural-exchange-and-cultural-appropriation/ In a word, it IS a religious garment, one linked to a population of people who face profound prejudice in the western...

Digestion taking more than an hour to happen, let alone three, would be very unusual.

So, unless you saw your undigested pill in your vomit, I see no reason to assume you didn't digest it.

I have another thought that might be helpful. Do you ever daydream about your life, like years and years down the road, thinking about a range of possibilities? Possibilities which may or may not include your current boyfriend? If so, is THAT something you feel guilty about or feel is some kind of c...

This really is about thoughts you can't control and also about holding unto some thoughts and ideas that you CAN have more control over. In other words, people can't control their sexual thoughts, for the most part, including fantasies, which almost everyone has. Even if your boyfriend has not, whic...

By all means, that sounds like potentially great education. Honestly, it seems to me like you are thinking something is a problem when it likely is not. People rarely can force themselves into being sexually excited, or into enjoying something they just do not at the time, or yet. You do not enjoy m...

Honestly, I personally feel best about suggesting you just check in with a general doctor about this to be sure that's what it is. If it is semen or pre-ejaculate, no need for concern. But since either of those things happening, especially an ejaculation, without arousal is pretty unusual, I'd just ...

Just to be clear, a pap smear is a test that screens for cell changes of the cervix that can signal cervical cancer. That's all that test is for. And, almost completely, cervical cancer comes from an initial HPV infection. As I understand it, you haven't had any sexual partners, so HPV is out, and t...

Given this post and your other, I'm wondering if you might be willing to share the story of this relationship. Where and when did you meet? How long have you been seeing each other? Romantically and sexually, have things been pretty mutually pursued and initiated, or was it more you than her, more h...

I do, quite a few people, actually! Not for sleep issues - where any animal new to an environment may be a disruption to sleep more than a help, I would think -- but in general.

Many of our users dealing with pregnancy anxiety or fears -- most of whom have had normal periods and negative pregnancy tests, some of whom have never even had the kind of contact needed for pregnancy to even be possible -- report that when they obsessively scour the internet, they keep hitting up ...

It is safe to say that someone your age who has not given birth is not going to have a uterine prolapse. That'd be even less likely than you suddenly entering menopause. Google is not a doctor nor a sound way to try and get good health information by entering symptoms. In fact, it is terrible for th...

Right, but this is some very basic information you are asking for that suggests a LOT of gaps. So, just my two cents, sounds like you need some training or educational support for this job you aren't getting, and need to give basic sex ed. So, if your employer isn't offering it, I'd insist. Not know...

Those pot holders made out of loops on the small metal loom? I love those!

Perhaps, then, especially since they are not frequent, your next step -- or one option, anyway -- is to talk with them about trying a sleep medication when nothing else is working to see if it helps? It' very common for abuse and assault survivors to struggle with sleep, and prescription sleep medic...

You really do want to do your best to take your pill around the same time every day -- like in the morning, afternoon or evening. That way, you get in the habit and it is much harder to space one out or take one past the 12-hour grace period, and your body, too, can get in the groove with it best. S...

Personally, getting creative has most often been exactly what I do that does me best when I am seeking comfort, especially if I'm dealing with any abuse/assault stuff. So, creative writing, making music, making visual art, baking or cooking in a creative way, etc. have all often been ways I can real...

Can I ask if you've talked about trying a sleep medication, even if just to kind of get you back in the groove of a sleep pattern?

Martin, you're kind of my hero right now. Truly, it can be really freaking hard to identify broken but longstanding ways of thinking, put them out in the light of day, and start to deeply challenge and change them. It's especially hard, I think, if and when any of those things were formed and cement...

When you pick up a box for one, any one at all, you'll see around a 99% accuracy rate printed right there for you to see. And when used properly, that is how accurate those tests, indeed, are.

You know, the inner 2/3rds of the vaginal canal has very few sensory nerve endings: so, most people, most of the time, are not going to get high levels of sensations from vaginal entry all by itself, or vaginal entry where there's not a lot of pressure. Too, unless people are very excited, the whole...

Can you just clear up for me if you are saying that you have been seeing an emission of fluid from your penis that you think (or know) are NOT an ejaculation or pre-ejaculate fluid? I ask that because you're describing this fluid as semen, but if you're seeing it at times you are not ejaculating (wh...

Okay. Then what is most likely, if this is the only time that is happening, is that the uterine contractions that are often part of orgasm are what is causing or triggering the pain. If you have had any basic GYN healthcare lately, like a basic exam, and no one had any cause for concern, then you ma...

Can I ask what you do so far, and what you find does and does not work for you? And are you currently using any sleep medications?
