Fire In The Disco: Oct 4, 2007; I cannot change the gender of my unborn child and shouldn't waste my time or energy pretending he won't exist

Personally, my daughter's going to learn about "bad touches" earlier than 6. Now, I don't plan on sending her to daycare or preschool at all, so hopefully there won't be any opportunities for her to put her understanding to the test, but hell, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Also, I can't remember ever NOT knowing about sex, and I had a really good sense of waiting until I was in love instilled in me by my parents. So, I would say before 10 my daughter will hopefully have a good understanding of what the biology of sex and reproduction are like, like I did, and we'll continually work on why sex is a private thing, something to share with someone you love and trust, etc.

I don't expect her to need birth control at 14, if the above works as planned, but I guess we'll cross that bridge as we come to it.

Or try a menstrual cup since they're a gazillion times more comfortable than tampons, but that's another thread entirely...

Right now, I haven't jerked off for about a week and I haven't felt much of a need to do it. Even in the morning when I get morning wood, I try to you know, see if anything, but it just doesnt feel like it used to. Before this whole thing started its been a mix of doing it out of need, and out of boredom. Can't really tell because my perspective isnt trustworthy right now.

To me, it sounds like you might be having a depression problem. That can really affect your sexual desire and performance.

My issues that I posted back a few pages ago are unfortunately still happening. It seems, when we're foolin around and movin it up, im fine, I'm hard, and it seems like there's no problem. The moment I start taking off my underwear or pants and I'm about to go and do the deed, it just goes away. I don't understand this at all. We've both agreed to take it slow, but my issue is how will I know when it will work out fine? I don't want to keep escalating it to that each time only to be disappointed and frustrated, but if I don't, how will I know when that time is "right"?

The last few times, the escalation felt right, everything seemed to fall into place, I was super hard, but the moment my pants and underwear were off after the initial groping and foolin around stage, then it just went. I was so sure that time too. What am I supposed to do here? I haven't jerked off now for almost 2 weeks. At home, I don't really feel the urge to, which is incredibly odd because my typical routine is ATLEAST once a day, if not twice, and I consider myself someone with a very active libido normally. Could this be an emotional/psychological issue from that breakup I mentioned, and if it is, what the hell do I do? I work out, I eat right. Only thing is my sleep pattern is lovely, I go to bed late and wakeup later morning than I want to. I have a pretty non hectic life right now that revolves around me working out, going to my summer school classes, and going to a cafe to do an online course. I tried the no coffee thing earlier, doesn't seem to make a difference for me, just makes me crankier without it.

Most schools offer free therapy to students. I would look into that and see about getting some counseling sessions. It sounds to me like it could be related to your emotional state from the breakup, especially because you're also saying that you don't really miss the masturbation you used to do all the time.

To trim, I use an electric razor with the shortest blade guard. To go bare, I use Bikini Zone shave gel and a new razor blade, then Tend Skin afterward (daily). I also spend way too much time plucking ingrowns and missed patches. That's the best I've come up with after trying pretty much every product at the drugstore.

Turns out some people have sensitive skin, not that they're doing bizarre/retarded things

Yup, I'm one of those people, too. I'm thrilled that my husband doesn't care one way or the other.

Either that or herbal remedies. A lot of people mix up homeopathic and herbal remedies. Herbal remedies actually include enough of whatever substance it is to do something.

Actually, a lot of times it's mucous. Cervical mucous is present pretty much all the time, but its consistency changes depending on where in her cycle a woman is.

I dunno, for me it's almost all mucous. I imagine it's different for every woman.

Generally, I think it's the hormones that cause issues with depression, so a non-hormonal form of contraception, like a copper IUD, would be what I would try.

How common is it for a girl that has regular sex with condoms worrying about getting pregnant every other month?

From what I can tell, it's reasonably common, because many women have no idea when their fertile days are. If she is really that worried about it, she might want to read "Taking Charge of Your Fertility," and start tracking fertility. Then she can decide what she wants to do during her fertile days-- abstain, double up on methods, whatever it is she decides. The chances of getting pregnant outside of her fertile days are very, very, very slim.

Something tells me that this particular girl wouldn't be in danger of that...

Plus, it takes two. A guy can refuse to have sex without a condom.

I just want to put my hand up as another woman with similar experiences to this. Women who fake just don't want to believe that other women can actually get multiple orgasms!

Do you really think that's the reason why women fake orgasms? Really? It couldn't have anything to do with being embarrassed over not orgasming, or not wanting to hurt the feelings of one's significant other, or not knowing what an orgasm is really supposed to feel like? Sorry to be pushy here, but that really rubbed me the wrong way. Like, the way guaranteed to not give me an orgasm.

edit: VVVV Fair enough, but then she really ought to have said, "women who scoff at 20 orgasms just don't want to believe..." rather than "women who fake just don't want to believe...."

And yeah, 20 sounds crazy tiring to me.

Me and my ex have been split up for a while now and I feel fine otherwise so I'm not convinced that's it.

....except you're fixated on her when you masturbate. Obviously there's something left in your subconscious mind regarding her and sex, or you wouldn't be thinking about her when you jerk off. You may not be conventionally depressed, but it certainly can't hurt to talk to someone about it.

I'm female, started having sex about a year ago (I'm 18), and pretty much sticking anything in my vag hurts. A lot. Even just one finger. Before you ask, I've only once used a tampon once (my mom's weird about tampons and always tells me not to use them), over the summer, and it was also painful to put in and take out.

I've been with the same guy the whole time, and we've tried different things to see if there was any solution, but nothing. I think at this point, we're hoping that eventually it would just stop hurting after enough tries. At first, it was just excruciating pain the whole time, but now, the pain stops after a few thrusts. However, it's still uncomfortable (probably becomes more of a dull pain), and only feels good for a moment, if that.

I mean, I knew it was supposed to hurt the first time, but does it continue hurting for a while for some people, or something? Or is this something I should be concerned about?

Just to note: his penis isn't like monstrously huge or anything. It's pretty average; we measured.

What "other things" have you tried? Are you very aroused when penetration occurs? Have you tried lots of extra lube (beyond what your body makes)? I agree that you probably need to see your doctor/gynecologist, but you can try to make it easier for yourself in the meantime with a ton of lube.

Yeah, lube and lubed condoms are totally at different ends of the spectrum, if you ask me. Lubed condoms have just enough lube to not make the condom feel like sandpaper. Lots of lube means stuff slips all around, including in.

As a girl I feel I do have to go pee and wash up after sex purely as a preventative measure against getting a UTI. I sometimes do fall asleep but do my best to drop by the bathroom first. I haven't ever had one but the issue comes up often enough in this thread, and a few friends have had it. Are wet wipes good enough?

I would not stop peeing after sex, personally. Showering doesn't happen every time, but I have had UTIs before and I never want to experience that again.

If she has a regular cycle that's around 28 days long, then 10 days after her period ended is a pretty bad time to have a broken condom. But a lot of that depends on her cycle. Does she know how long it generally is?

Edit: No, you will almost never be able to get a positive pregnancy test that early. Buy the pill if you want to play it safe.

If I could change my first time, I would not.

It was goofy and awkward, but it was fun. Helped that we fooled around and there were handjobs/fingering before hand and a buttload of foreplay before my first time.

Mostly posting this because first times don't necessarily have to be a failure. I went into the situation expecting the worst and it ended up being quite enjoyable.

(Thanks to forplay and masturbation my first time didn't hurt at all, aside from my legs being in a position they weren't used to being in.)

Yeah, mine wasn't bad. I thought I was in love, and he did too. The fact that our relationship didn't make it in the long run doesn't change the fact that we were in a good place to have sex at that time.

Coconut oil is also amazing for all sorts of rashes. People who don't like to use the regular diaper rash cream on their babies often use it for diaper rash, and it works well on other types too.

The thing is that I do have a somewhat high sex drive. It's just that I don't really feel much whenever I do masturbate. Maybe I should just try a new method or something?

It isn't going to matter much anyways, I just have a tendency of going into panic attacks over small things.

Thanks for the help though

If you care that much about it, you can always try foreskin restoration. It's a real thing, I assure you.
