Re: 1 day period

Hi there, Spectexz! You're right, dry humping does not pose a risk of pregnancy. It seems like your girlfriend is having some slightly irregular periods. This can happen for a number of reasons, like stress, hormonal issues, and being on certain medications. Strenuous exercise is another possible ca...

Hi there, Jo.dps- welcome to the boards. I understand why you're asking this question, because there are some concerning things about this situation: This girl wanted to play an adult game, and wouldn't accept other suggestions.

Re: I can't feel pleasure when masturbating

Hi again! Ah, I see... Could we step back from discussing masturbation for a moment? In general, how do you connect with your body? Are there things you do to feel pleasure that are not related to masturbating? (Could you read this article and tell us what you think? It may provide a starting point ...

Re: Bottom gender dysphoria stuff - cum and pee

Okay then- if I may ask, do you feel the urge to pee at other times, like when you sneeze/cough, laugh, or exercise? I'm wondering if you might be feeling this urge due to some pelvic floor issue. A doctor could tell you for sure and help with this, and there are exercises you can do on your own to ...
