Hours of Intercourse? Nope. (And also: Ow.)
Me and my boyfriend are both 17. Today we started sex but it only lasts 3 minutes. How can we make it last 1 or 2 hours?...
The Problem Is Not Your Performance, It's Your Boyfriend
My boyfriend REALLY wants to have sex with me. We're both 17. I don't want to because I'm afraid to be naked around him. I have given him oral sex. But he hasn't done anything but kiss me.

Basically I'm on the brink of coming by the time things get hot and heavy near the end of foreplay....
Hey Hot Stuff: On Attraction, Desirability, and "Types"
I have a thing for Vincent Price.
I don't just mean that I enjoy his body of work. I mean I feel desire for his body.
You may be asking what, exactly, my feelings for a deceased horror icon have to do with the work we do at Scarleteen. The answer is that it gets me thinking about desire and how even those of us who consider ourselves enlightened can fall into old traps when it comes to attraction.
He Flirts and I Feel Bad, but I Don't Want it to be Over
So I'm 14 and me and my bf have gone through loads. We were best friends for three years and have been together for one and a half years.
