Re: Managed to do it a bit
I think you have to go at your own pace, if that makes sense. So if something hurts or feels uncomfortable, then take a step back and don't force it. And if something feels good and pleasurable, you can lean into it and explore that instead. Sexual experiences are different for everyone and there's ...

Re: Managed to do it a bit
Hi! To answer the first of your questions - yep, it's at an angle. There are walls you need to "work around" as you go in, just like you described. I'm linking two articles we have with descriptions and photos of sexual anatomy so you can see what I mean: Innies & Outies: The Vagina, C...

Re: I can only masturbate in one way?
Yep, it's normal to feel like there's something coming in between you and an orgasm, so to speak. Many people experience this and it's a combination of the technique being used and a mental barrier, both which can take some time and patiente to work through. If your technique has always worked for y...

Re: boyfriend issue?
Nice to meet you too! <3 And I can see how that can seem dismissive, for sure. I'm glad she's not mad at you, but I want you to know that I echo Mo, Urna and Elise in saying that what he does to you does count as sexual assault. It seems like you got a chance to chat with Mo on our chat platform, so...

Hi page, welcome to the boards! What you are describing is not abnormal, actually, and you're not alone in it. While yes, many people who are asexual do have the ability to feel sexually aroused, others don't! Buying a vibrator might help, but it also might just be frustrating, if it's not actually ...

Hi Winter, welcome to the boards! That does sound pretty confusing and I can understand why you're hesitant to say anything. The truth is, there's no way to know if our crush likes us back unless we ask or they tell us. That's what's so complicated about relationships--communication is key, and some...

What do you mean you feel like it's wrong since you can't ask? Can you elaborate on that?
But yes--it's okay to have those feelings!

Re: I recently found out that my boyfriend had masturbated to a photo of his ex gf’s sister what do I do?
That makes sense, and trust takes time to build back up after you feel it's been broken. What he did does sound like a mistake he acknowledges and wants to be better at being honest with you, so that's good. I would say here you have to think about what is more valuable, this situation or your relat...

Have you tried to talk to him about it, maybe letting him know you're interested? If not, how do you think he'd react? It might be good to have a conversation with him and see how he feels.
