Hi Eaulik2005, welcome to the boards! You know, I think the kind of passion you have for these shows can only be something to admire. It is so cool that you have something you love so much. Why would it matter that these dramas are apparently targeted towards middle-aged women? That doesn't mean you...

Hi Annatea, welcome to the boards! Don't worry about your writing, I can understand you just fine. It looks like you've been struggling with this on your own for a long time. I wish you had more support through all this, but I'm glad you feel like you can talk about it here. Here is my honest opinio...

Hi Caleb, Let's go ahead and change 'very low' to 'no chance at all'. As Oliver-kittycat explained, sperm just can't survive for so long outside the body, being transferred from one surface to another. This situation poses no risk of pregnancy. It must be so stressful to blame yourself and worry lik...

Hi Kasi, welcome to the boards! You're right, stress isn't inherently bad — it can be rational to worry sometimes, and within limits, this can help us stay safe. In this case, I think your friend is right about one thing: there is no risk of pregnancy from the situation you described. Sperm simply c...

Hi Wanjiee, I'm so sorry that you're in so much pain. I know it might not feel believable, but this awful space that you're in may be the first step in the process of getting better. Give yourself time to grieve and feel your emotions. The way this guy treated you was wrong, but you loved him and yo...

Hi Lucy4! Taking the pill and making an appointment to discuss your concerns seems like a sound course of action. If the drug does start to cause side effects in the meantime, we can suggest methods to manage them. It will also be useful information for your doctor, who can help you make adjustments...

Hi Brian, From time to time, people who care for us might feel overwhelmed and need to take breaks — this doesn't have to mean there is a problem with your relationship as a whole. What if we could reframe this? Proactively taking breaks may preserve your relationship, and allow your girlfriend to b...

That's great! Let us know if there is any other way we can help.

Hi there, Sarxzer I'm sorry that your mother gave you the impression that you were asking for too much. You definitely are not! While I'm glad your parents have been open-minded in the past, I bet your mother's current discomfort has more to do with her beliefs about gender and sexuality than the am...

I'm glad that helps, Foreverl0st — feel free to ask us if you need any more help!

Hi Jay I know it can be hard to stay confident in your own judgement when faced when a parent's disapproval. Would it help if you reminded yourself of why your parents are wrong about this? It's not just that you are an adult and can do whatever you want, it is that they have no grounds on which to ...

Hi Sarxzer I think Kier's suggestions on changing up your physical environment should be helpful when it comes to making your bathroom a more comfortable space. Here are some more thoughts: making sure the room is organized and clean before you start masturbating might help you stay in the right hea...

Hi Sandrah, I'm sorry this has been making you feel so anxious! This question isn't stupid, and your understanding is correct. There is a zero percent chance of pregnancy in this situation. This is especially so with pre-ejaculate — when it does contain sperm, it is still has very little, and they j...

Hi Forest_wave You know, I think you have a good approach with your messages — trying to find common ground, talking about subjects that are important to you, and showing interest in the other person are all strong strategies. I know it can be so demoralizing to put your best effort into reaching ou...

Hi Rainysky, I'm going to be honest, getting annoyed doesn't seem like the best response on the part of your friend. Patience and the ability to communicate your needs are two very important skills in life. If he had preferred to discuss what he was interested in trying before you started having sex...

Hi Meadowlarking, It is great that you want to take the initiative to change the parts of your life that you don't like. Just remember to be kind to yourself through this process. The process of building the life you want might not always be easy. If something isn't working out, don't assume that th...

Hi Luckyclover, welcome to the boards! Just in case, I want to note that this isn't necessarily a problem, and isn't something to be ashamed about. It could just be the way your body works right now. That said, we can offer advice on this. To start, some people find it easier to last longer when the...

Hi Whale009, welcome to the boards! I'm glad you've asked this question! Masturbation is a completely optional activity, but we often recommend it because it has many benefits. It will not prevent you from enjoying sex with a partner or make it less good — it could actually make it better. This is b...

Hi Rafacurtis, welcome to the boards! I'm glad you had a good experience! It would be hard to pinpoint a definite explanation for why this happened, but your suggestion is very plausible. I do like your approach — one step at a time is right. Since using condoms has worked for intercourse, why not t...

Hi Reapergirl, welcome to the boards! I'm sorry that this abrupt and confusing change in your relationship is causing feelings of shame and insecurity! We can offer advice on how to navigate this shift, but you can't fix this on your own. I think it is best to have a proper discussion with your part...

Hi there, Malla_Fluff! Yes, we are totally sure that vore is fine. There is no doubt about this. You are not being ruined, and this kink doesn't make you a 'degenerate' or a bad person, so it is not something you need to get rid of. I know this must be really hard to believe while you're being overw...

Hi Foreverl0st! You know your parents and their patterns best — the best place to hide something is wherever they won't look. Inside a pillow sounds good! Just to check, do you know that your parents won't take it and wash it on their own? Let us know if there is anything more we can do to help. It ...

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Hi Ilovelanadelrey, welcome to the boards! Don't worry, it is very unlikely that there are any issues with your body. These are actually common problems that people have when they start exploring masturbation, and there are ways to address them. To start, I have a question: when you're trying to mas...

Hi Forest_wave, I think you probably know this, but the question 'why not?' is silly. I can't imagine many people would say they never have any trouble dating. This might be one of those situations where people haven't actually thought about the impact of their question, they are asking because it's...
