I've been seeing my therapist since June and she is the one who officially diagnosed me. Since I'm finally getting comfortable with talking about my sex life with other people, I've opened up to her a lot about how I thought I was asexual (but now I know that I don't exactly fit that anymore lol), b...

Thank you Mo! I'm not trying to flaunt it, but I have been diagnosed by a professional with OCD which affects both my mental and physical well-being. So mentally, it is hard for me to take a step back and look at things a different way than I've always known, and physically I have routines that I ha...

Thank you Sam for those resources! And regarding my home life, it's more so the pressure that my parents put on me to still present as the "perfect Christian girl". My parents sort of disapprove of the way my boyfriend's tattoos (which is dumb imo). Sometimes my mom will tell me that the w...

I would like to talk more about purity culture since that was such a huge part of my life and still is part of my home life as well. What are some logical ways if there are any (besides knowing that it is my body and I pretty much can do what I want with and to it) that I can get over the guilt that...

Hey-lo, and I have an update that I thought I might share since it is dealing with my original post. So idk if it just took me admitting to someone who has no true ties to me and my relationship with Jackson, but I am beginning to feel more confident in myself. Tonight, I went to his dad's house (wh...

Thank you for your reply, Sam! In my school and home, sex before marriage was always like "the ultimate sin" and to never do it or you weren't a true "Christian", so I've always felt shame whenever it came to anything remotely sexual because it was ingrained that I didn't love Go...

Hi friend, I am dealing with something similar to what you wrote about. It seems that my mom and your mom would get along great with just the few views you have expressed in your post. I will be 20 years old in less than a month, and my parents still will not let me spend the night at my serious boy...

Hello friends, so recently my boyfriend (I'm calling him Jackson in this post, not his real name)and I have had to go long distance due to circumstances that are not necessary for this post. I went to a super religious school and in a somewhat-religious household where sex was never to be done befor...

I do. It might take a while to get into see the endocrinologist that's under my insurance but I will discuss with them before making any new plans with my doctor

I can try to look into seeing an endocrinologist. Thank you for talking to me about this

edit for second post: i meant to say it is more normal for me to be bleeding than not to bleed. I haven't seen an endocrinologist, but this is my second doctor I have seen for my period and other health issues. My mom had an ablation when she was in her late 40's as she would also bleed heavy like m...

hey y'all, and thank you for the responses. My period when I do not take any form of b.c. lasts almost 3 months with constant heavy flow. I'm talking about changing a super flow pad 8-10 times a day. During the night, I have to set alarms to change my pad every 2 hours and sleep on top of a chuck (b...

Hello, I have put a lot of time into researching different birth control options over the last few months and I am wanting a second opinion before my upcoming appointment with my doctor. I went on b.c. when I was 13 and I am now 19(I was born in 2001, not 2004). I have been on more than 20 different...

Thank you so much for replying so fast! I hadn't even thought that since I've been on birth control that my cervix patterns and location wouldn't be the same as someone who isn't on b.c. Your reply helped clear a lot up for me!

Hello friends, I have some questions regarding pre-cum and b.c., and the cervix and the information surrounding them. I have looked at your articles and message board posts, and other medical websites about it, but still am confused. 1. is it possible to get pregnant from pre-cum alone? My friend's ...
