About shaving downstairs; First of all, gently caress shaving your ballsack. Secondly how do you shave your ballsack when its all wrinkly and loose? I cut myself. And I go slowly, with a fresh non-cheap blade and plenty of cream. It's like I wish I had a third hand to really stretch the areas needing shaving. Is there an instructional video somewhere? I can do the area around the penis fine, its the sack that's killing me. Also butthair, any special technique there or should I just try to find a place to wax it? Shaving at those angles seem like a recipe for disaster.

Fortunately I never managed to cut my ballsack while shaving, thank god. What you have to do is to create flat surfaces. Pull it up with one hand sometimes, so that the razor can go along the skin without any bumps. It's not hard after you try it. Obviously you need to make sure you don't get..err...tight ballsack, while you shave.

"need extra hand for stretching ballsack while shaving" Will probably be a hit. Also I am a cursed 27year old with oldmanballsack.

Affi posted:That's why I need a third hand to stretch properly. What? Dude, just lift your dick and pull it to the side until the target shaving area is stretched. Shave that patch, reorient your dick, and repeat. Pull up on the foreskin if your balls are that wrinkly. I don't think I've ever nicked my scrotum before and I tend to be pretty careless when shaving it. More tips: Don't shave too frequently, you need your skin to recover between shaves. Likewise, don't shave too seldom or the razor will catch on the long hair. Pubic hair is very coarse so you might have to deal with not shaving it as frequently as you like. Also, it's very important to shave with the grain and never against it. As for rear end hair, I really can't eloquently describe my method in-text, so my best advice for you would be to experiment and find out what works for you.

Dude ball-shaving pro-tip: Splash some cold water or put an ice cube on there. Your sack will shrink like a frightened turtle and it's much, much easier to shave when it's taut like that.

EDIT: ^^  ^^Although I've never tried this, I once read an article that advised touching an ice cube to your ballsack until everything retracted and got all tight, then shave like normal. Might be worth a shot?

Excavation posted:Here's a new one. Say you're a guy and you've never finished with another person (not that you've had a great load of opportunities, let's just say "several people"). They think you're pretty good for completely wearing them out and making them rather glad about life but you feel bad because hey, if the genders were reversed the guy would probably feel bad about himself for not finishing off the girl in under 2 or so hours and you lump that possibly imaginary blame on yourself. You want to fix the problem, but you don't want to risk people's feelings to try to solve it the obvious way because we're all told that guys are easy to please and someone might take it the wrong way again if they don't get the expected result. Are you on any kind of meds? Antidepressants in particular can make it pretty difficult to orgasm sometimes and I'm sure there are others. Or since you mention being highly strung, do you have anxiety issues being around other people? I know for me (and I'm just guessing it's the same for guys) the only way I can orgasm with another person is if I'm relaxed and comfortable being around them. I don't really have a great solution to your problem. But if you're wanting to avoid hurt feelings, the best thing you can do is just explain the problem. I've been with guys who had trouble with this and it was fine once I understood that this was just the way he had always been rather than it being something I was doing/not doing. And if she gives you poo poo about how you "should" be easy to please or whatever, then you probably don't need to be with her.

What about positions? 3. Why haven't you just finished off with your hand? Like let her know that you have to finish manually and then pull out and go to town. Is there a lady friend that you are currently sleeping with? If so don't masturbate for a day or two before you're going to see her next.

What I use for shaving my junk is one of these, Schick Quattro Titanium It's got an electric trimmer in the rear end powered by a AAA battery, this is great for trimming your hair down to a more manageable level before using something properly sharp on it. The beard trimmer is great for getting it down from there, I don't ever feel the need to use the proper razor on my sack as it's quite manageable after the beard trimmer, I only ever use the full face to shave the area directly at the base of the penis. I really can't recommend it enough, I bought one almost 2 years ago and it's still serving me well, batteries last quite a while so I just swap in rechargeables as needed.

If you've never had an orgasm with some one else then maybe you just need to do just that to break through the barrier.

Doesn't have to be solo. If you can't get off to a blow job or sex, have her play with your balls / rear end / nipples and/or kiss you while you finish yourself off. That way it's not "Okay, now I need to get myself off!"

I think most people might wonder if they're not doing the right thing for you, but I don't think it's going to destroy them or anything unless they're already pretty insecure. So again, depends on the person. But mostly I was referring to having to get yourself off at the end. It was for different reasons than yours in my case (guy just insisted on pulling out), but it never bothered me or anything. Masonity's suggestion is a good one. Touching of some sort at that moment can make it feel a little bit more like something you're both doing together instead of you jerking off - even something relatively non-sexual like putting a hand on her leg or something helps.

When the bf and I first got together he had to finish himself off every time. He still does, sometimes. At first I thought "drat, I hope I'm not doing something wrong" but I got over that real fast. He was still concerned about my needs and that's what matters. And he did reassure me that he was in fact enjoying our time together, which is always nice to hear. Plus when he was doing his thing he and I would touch each other, which helped me feel more involved in getting him off.

ServoMST3K posted:I'm sure someone has asked this before, but does anyone know what would cause some of your pubic/inner thigh hair to turn white? It seems like there's actually something attached to the hairs, either dead skin or something else. It looks very strange and is a bit concerning. I trimmed my pubes back a few weeks ago and am only now noticing this. I haven't experienced any itching or noticeable smells from it. I haven't had intercourse with my girlfriend for a while either, so I'm not too worried about having passed it to her if it's a yeast/fungus based thing. I just wanted to share something with you fine folks. I did a bit of research and found that my strange white pubes are a result of a bacteria called Trichomycosis Axillaris. It seems to be a fairly mild issue, and only requires washing with benzoyl peroxide to kill the bacteria. I issue a warning to anyone else who sweats a lot in their nether regions or has a physical job: you might wake up with nasty white pubes one morning!

Anyone have any tips for staying hard after the first orgasm? I've been seeing this girl for like 3-4 months now, and we've been having a good amount of sex. The only problem is that I was a virgin before I started seeing her. and I don't last too long. I've tried all sorts of things. I realized early on that when I over-think the whole thing it doesn't really help (Screaming DON'T CUM DON'T CUM DON'T CUM in your head over and over again only stresses me more...) However, I did start trying to jerk off more to lengthen my stamina, and that seemed to work. I ended up being in a pretty good place where I could last 4-6 minutes (occasionally 10-12) and that was pretty good for me. Being tipsy/high also helps a LOT for some reason. I think I'm just able to focus on the loving more, instead of having thoughts floating around in my head. Anyway, we had about 1.5 weeks where we didn't have any penetrative sex and It looks like that just reset my inner gently caress timer somehow. What also seemed to help is that we almost always hosed again after I came the first time. I always tended to last much longer. The problem with this is that I never figured out how to reliably maintain an erection after I came. If I can get that condom on and start loving her again I'm set, but the problem is that usually I go really soft after I ejaculate. Sometimes I'm just still really horny and I get hard again, and other times no matter how much I want to get it up...I just can't. I dunno, anyone have any advice for this?

Not that kegel exercises are bad advice and they're worth a try by all means, it just seems like you're putting some unrealistic expectations on yourself here.

Excavation posted:Here's a new one. Say you're a guy and you've never finished with another person... This is obviously related to anxiety and control. I can't give you much advice regarding the psychological side of this, apart from it getting easier once you've been intimate with a girl for a few weeks. You should try various sexual positions, as some positions exercise various pressure levels on various body parts. Some positions also give you a greater sense of control, while others allow you to lay back and let your partner take care of running the show. According to positions, your sexual pleasure can also be enhanced by feeling your partner's boobs, kissing, her grasping your rear end... Don't be afraid to play with various sceneries and find out what's best for you. You said condoms don't change a thing, I guess that's great for you. In my experience, condoms make a difference, and some condoms are thinner than others. Of course you should wear condoms, but maybe try different ones ? You didn't tell us how you meet your partners. If the typical hookup is spending the night out drinking and smoking, then meeting a girl and bringing her home, like lots of people do, this might be a problem. Drinking and smoking (and specially smoking weed) make it a lot harder to come, but I guess that's common knowledge.

As for condoms, I've tried a few different brands, but I do need slightly larger ones and they don't exactly have overflowing racks of those at my supermarket and certainly nothing with all the bells and whistles. Might hit up the adult store when I can afford to spend money on space-age dingers. Oh, and I drink frequently, smoke ciggies occasionally (ex-smoker but have little self-control when handed one while drinking) and very rarely smoke weed due to the bipolar I mentioned. Thanks for the hints. It's kind of reassuring to know that it's probably just my brain that is broken.

I guess part of the answer is not thinking too hard about performing. Like I said before, it gets better once you get used to the girl. If it's really a big thing for you, you might want to get that out of the way after a few minutes of sexing : "oh, by the way, it takes a very long time for me to come, so tell me when you've had enough and we'll find another way to finish". It's kind of awkward, but not as awkward as going back and forth for hours and your partner looking at you wondering when the hell you're gonna stop, you can trust me on this.

While we're on a similar vein, I have a very irritating problem I am hoping you guys can help with. I am a male, 22 years old, healthy. Rarely drink and rarely smoke. Basically, whenever it comes to having sex with a girl, I start to get really nervous and panicky. One of either two things happens, I either lose my erection, or I cum really really quickly. It was a problem I had with my first girlfriend and it took us about 2 months to overcome it, after which we had amazing, regular sex where I could pretty much dictate when I wanted to cum. At the time I thought I'd mastered it and would never have that issue again. After we broke up, I started seeing a new girl and bam, straight back to step 1. Really nervous, shaking, and losing my erection just before/during sex. That relationship ended after about 2 months (With only one or two nights of decent sex, on my part). The strange thing is, if I know that there isn't going to be any penetration involved I'm absolutely fine. I can control myself and I don't go soft. I guess what I'm looking for is just some tips/advice about how I can overcome this. It seems so stupid because I know that I can overcome it, but I just want to overcome it faster than in the past, or not have to deal with it at all.

Can we talk about STIs here? I went to Planned Parenthood yesterday and they told me I have BV, which is fine and I've had it before and they gave me antibiotics. Except that I'm bloated as gently caress, like, enough that it hurts. And I'm having cramping. And the itching is awful. I have an IUD which is why I rushed over to PP ASAP, but meanwhile it's physically painful to wear jeans and I don't own anything else. Has anyone else experienced this or should I like rush back to the doctor? I'm really not looking forward to work. I do a lot of bending.

Personally I think going back and telling them about these symptoms would be a good idea. Bloating and cramping don't really sound like BV (which isn't technically an STI, but that's just me nitpicking). As for the itching, it's possible to have a yeast infection along with BV or possibly the antibiotics are causing one to flare up. In any case, it sounds like this is pretty uncomfortable for you and possibly interfering with your work/life in general so I think it would be worth a visit if you can swing it.

It's pretty frustrating, you're right. I find it means I don't actively pursue girls cause I'm bummed about the fact it's probably gonna happen when we hook up. I do, however, have a girl that I am very attracted to hence the urgency of wanting a solution. History... I do worry every time about whether it's going to happen again, but the first time I didn't think I had any problems whatsoever. It's a vicious cycle in a way. Once I get used to the girl I'm completely fine, so I'm sure it's psychosomatic. I just wish I had a good... system for getting around it. As far as I can remember I was never sexually abused. If I was I have repressed it to the point of amnesia. I will consider a therapist, and I briefly went to one the first time it happened. I was kind of hoping that someone who's been there and done that could give me some advice/tips, but I realise it's asking a lot.

Well in that case, just from searching around the itching could possibly be the flagyl (but I'm not a doctor, I'm just going by the list of side effects out there). No idea about the other stuff though. Maybe as a compromise, you could call the clinic the next time they're open and ask for their opinion?
