So long as you’re in good general and sexual health, there’s no reason your genitals WOULD taste bad. Too, giving you oral sex shouldn’t be something you even need to worry about being gross for your boyfriend: if you’re not pressuring him to do so, and he’s willingly and with enjoyment engaging in…

Has your girlfriend ever had a pelvic exam? If no, or if not lately, then she should visit her doctor and get checked out. That’s the only way she’ll figure out what that lump is. The best I could suggest is it may be her cervix. That’s the lower tip of the uterus, and it feels like a rounded bump…

Anything that is in the vaginal canal after sex either dribbles out, gets expelled or gets reabsorbed by the body. Semen clots and becomes sticky within minutes of being ejaculated. But if you wait half an hour or so, the semen liquefies again. Then it is free to dribble out the vagina (whatever…

What it most likely is is just normal vaginal discharge. We have a good piece which outlines what is or is not normal here – Honorably Discharged: A Guide to Vaginal Secretions – but I’m happy to put it into more context for you here. Basically, throughout most or all of your fertility cycle –…

Our general body size earnestly has very, very little – and most often nothing at all – to do with the “tightness” or “looseness” of our vaginal openings and vaginas. Genital size, whether we’re talking about penises or vaginas, most typically does not correspond to overall body size. I’m not…

Queef is a slang term for a farting sound that comes out of the vagina. It happens when air that gets trapped up in the vagina gets squeezed out. Queefs are often associated with sex because inserting an object into the vagina canal can push air up into the vagina. Because the vagina is closed in…

Hey Anon, Ejaculation: I remember when I first started masturbating, right around your age. For the longest time I only ejaculated a drop or two and, like you, it really oozed out more than squirting. Now it turns out that both of us, you and me, started ejaculating just like pretty much every other…

Hey, Katie. Well, in most people with vaginas there is a “skin thing,” at least at the beginning, and that’s the hymen. But it rarely is “popped” or needs to be “broken” by sex. The hymen is made up of thin folds of tissue that, when we’re young, mostly covers the vaginal opening. It’s right there…

It’s absolutely normal for your partner to need some time to get fully aroused before intercourse is comfortable or even wanted. The vagina doesn’t really have a static state of “tightness” or “looseness.” When nothing is inside the vagina – or nothing is being introduced to it – the vaginal walls…

No need to be embarrassed! Understand that the rectum is not a straight line, but is curved. It’s not only curved, it’s kind of curved twice: if the anatomy of your rectum from a side view was a map, we’d essentially go in from the anus, take a left, take a right, then go up again towards the right…
