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…

First and foremost: Pornography is not real. Always remember that. Life doesn’t happen the way it does in the movies. Likewise, sex doesn’t happen the way it does in porn. Porn actors are actors. Is there anything wrong with the way you ejaculate? No. The force of a shot of semen depends on the…

Your partner has no way of knowing for sure that you’ve had an orgasm if you’re a person with a vagina. None, save you telling them so. Sometimes, if your partners have their hands, mouths or genitals inside ours or right on them, they can feel some uterine and vaginal muscle contractions when we…

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…
