Our group includes like 15 people who have known me since elementary school to middle school (girls and guys) Yay more friends! But upon talking with some of the g...

Re: Aroused with a Sensitive Clitoris

Hi Heather! I feel a lot better knowing that being this into boys is ok now, so thanks for that! My sister will most likely love this site and I’ll definitely start with the “quickies”! Onto my stuff-as soon as I got done typing my response I heard my dad telling my mom that “sometimes 20 year olds ...

Re: Aroused with a Sensitive Clitoris

Hello again! In regards to how the arousal feels different, I think the issue is that my mom, aunt and 2 other family members (one after the other) had cancer 2 years ago up until a few months ago, and then there was the COVID pandemic the next year. So between the stress of those two major events, ...

Re: Aroused with a Sensitive Clitoris

Hi again, had another question. Typed it up and forgot to hit save draft...oops. So I’m feeling kinda guilty about my newfound love for Bollywood music, K-Pop and crushing on all of the Indian boys and Asians in general at college for the past few months. Is it ok to have a preference in relationshi...

Aroused with a Sensitive Clitoris

Hi! So I have a small problem. Recently I found some music that I really like, a big reason why is that the male singers are really good looking. I did not know I could ever feel this aroused and don't think I ever felt this attracted to anyone ever. Guess I'm a late bloomer. :lol: So I'm really hap...

Re: Confused about Realtionships with my Religion

Hello Sian, I didn't know that the hormonal IUD's don't contain estrogen. That's great news, since I won't have to worry about blood clots! :) I'll talk to my doctor when I see them about my specific condition and Mirena. Yes, can we please talk about feeling prepared for my first OBGYN appointment?...

Re: Confused about Realtionships with my Religion

More about the Factor V Leiden-my mom has only one mutated copy of the gene, dad is normal, both have been tested. I just looked it up on Mayo Clinic, it says that one risk factor for blood clots is estrogen. If I recall correctly, aren't there minipills with just progesterone, or an IUD without est...

Re: Confused about Realtionships with my Religion

Hello Heather, Yeah sure! Did not know about the diaphragm or copper IUD, makes sense now though. I have a 50% chance of having the Factor V Leiden gene (blood clotting disorder). I have never been tested, but my mom has the gene, dad does not. We know because mom had a blood clot (DVT) while on the...

Re: Confused about Realtionships with my Religion

Can I switch topics like this? I saw other people doing it on many other threads, so I assume it is okay. Quick question(s) about birth control. My doctor says I shouldn't take hormonal birth control because of medical issues, but that the copper IUD is fine, and any other nonhormonal birth control ...

Re: Confused about Realtionships with my Religion

Hello Sian and Sofi, Sorry, didn't see you had replied until now. It's true, I would really like to have more frank conversations about sex with my parents. Maybe you saw my response to Heather on the topic of "what do you need from your parents to talk about sex ed topics? I agree with your st...

Re: What would you need in order to feel comfortable talking to your parents or guardians about sex?

My mom, and about half my family-really needs to be accepting of different relationship types outside of dating to marry someone, and things that go outside the religious teachings. Stereotypes about sex persist with my mom: there's a right way/one right person to date, there's a right way/time to h...

Re: Confused about Realtionships with my Religion

Hello! Thanks for pointing out and explaining the myths-that helped me. I don't really know what I want from a relationship yet. I definitely want to take it slow and enjoy college, friendships, work, the rest of my life, while I figure out relationships. Yes, do you have some strategies about how I...
