Anon: first things first. Obviously, on top of giving oral sex when you don't even want to, you've also been doing it unprotected. So, the very first thing I'd advise you strongly to do is to go into your doctor or sexual healthcare clinic and get a full STI screen, including a screen for your mouth...

Most topical antibiotics state on the label that they aren't to be used on mucous membranes, alas. But you can certainly check the label on any topical antibiotics you have around the house to see. So, with a genital injury -- I'm assuming you mean you have an injury around your vaginal opening? --...

My guess would be that rather than missing "extras," you're missing basics. If any genital contact feels blah to you, or just like someone was patting you on the back, my first suggestion would be to make sure that when any kind of sex happens -- even masturbation -- you're really feeling aroused...

Just so you know, while certainly, it's more common to begin some sexual activity before your age (which you had), there still are plenty of people who have not had sexual intercourse at your age. And given that the age of first marriage has been increasing, in terms of folks waiting for all sex or...

Hi there, metronidazole (Flagyl) is the most common treatment for bacterial vaginosis (BV). While many people who contract BV don't show symptoms, when they do, the discharge that usually occurs is milky-greyish and fishy-smelling. that doesn't really fit with the description you gave. However it is...

Madison: I'd suggest you start by taking a look at our sex readiness checklist which I've linked at the bottom of my response to you here. It's a really excellent tool for getting a good overview of all the aspects of sexual readiness. Now, a lot of people who are ready may still not check off ALL...

Anon, it's never wrong to not want to do any given sexual activity. Everyone has their own wants, needs and preferences, and you get to have yours just like anyone else. While it can take a little adjusting for sexual partners to find middle ground in terms of what both want and prefer, a partner...

Yes, she could. As well, the same -- and sometimes slightly higher -- STI risks are present during menstruation as any other time. For most people who can become pregnant, pregnancy is substantially less likely from intercourse that happens during menses than from intercourse at other times. However...

You know, it's not often going to feel good to anyone to have someone just stick a finger into the vagina. There really aren't "tight girls" and girls who aren't tight. The tightness of your vaginal opening and vagina is mostly to do with how sexually aroused and relaxed you are, and if what someone...

Hey, Scott. Having one testicle has absolutely no physiological impact on sexual performance. Arousal, erection and orgasm are not reliant on the testicles in any way. As well, having your testicle removed, and but one remaining would not have impacted your sexual or general development, and your...
