Re: Trying to cum from clit after a while
Hi Cream berry, sorry that you're having some frustration on this still, one thing to consider is that you might need a bit of a longer break, as a short break did help a bit. Side effects of medication are worth thinking about also, as there are some kinds of medication in particular that can chang...

Hi there klee, welcome to Scarleteen. Sorry to hear that you're having a bit of frustration with this at the moment. If you feel comfortable answering, have you done much experimenting with masturbation in your own time to see what you like best with manual sex so you can direct your boyfriend to tr...

Re: Question about relationship
Hi ndisg, yes, usually when talking about situations where someone saying "I love you" is "too soon", that "too soon" is where the relationship has not existed long enough for the people in it to know each other well at all, and have developed a level of emotional intim...
Re: Depo Shot
Hi Holly55, your healthcare provider will be able to provide more of the medical information on this, but essentially you might find you get a very light discharge/spotting/one final period depending on exactly where in your cycle the shot was administered and therefore how much uterine lining built...

Hi tulipgardener77, I hope the visit to the OB/GYN sheds some light. One thing to note is that "knows more" is more of a topic thing. OB/GYNs know a lot about the physical and medical parts of things, so they will be able to examine and help you with if there are any physiological issues e...

Hi irondeficient, glad to help. Being able to insert a finger that far bodes well for you being able to locate the opening in a mirror. It might also help to generally feel around what you can feel there (putting lube on the finger may help), if there is a slight bend you can navigate, or if you mig...

Hi there Eyeluvpickles - the only way you can know you're pregnant or not for sure is to take a pregnancy test, given that you used a condom, the risk is low. It sounds like you're feeling really stressed about this at the moment, so if you can take a moment to breathe and if you have some technique...

Re: Cannot orgasm anymore
Hi there Rubix, I can very much relate to the idea of being super busy and feeling the need to "do all the things"! What I've found can help is to break down something into tiny goals, and then you can also better assess what time it'll take up and how you'll get there. For example: Step 1...

Hi there irondeficient, and welcome to Scarleteen. The vaginal canal is actually not entirely a straight line and can sit at varied angles for individuals, and this might not be intuitive at first. Have you ever tried inserting anything that is a bit smaller than a toy? Say a finger or a tampon or m...

Hi Loveliy12, apologies if I was a bit confusing - I actually meant the opposite: adults who are able to healthily manage their anger, impulse control and/or understand the parameters of a healthy relationship dynamic will *not* abuse their partner.

Hi there Anonymousssss, do you mean that your nipple feels numb, or that touching your nipple doesn't provide you any sexual pleasure in any way, and is a bit akin to touching your elbow?
