Dear MistahCFS, You are correct, as long as both parties are having pleasurable and consensual sex it does not matter how they choose to verbally express their pleasure. These expressions will sound different for everyone and there is no one right or wrong way to express pleasure or enjoy these expr...

Re: Periods

Hi Chocolate Moose,

Those commercials are often for the different amounts of flow during a persons period, which can be heavier or lighter. When someone has a higher flow, that means more blood and sometimes they prefer a larger or more absorptive tampon. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Anything that is outside of the conditions of the body, such as temperature, causes the sperm cells to die.

Re: am i pregnant ?

Hi Sarah22,

Sperm is very fragile and can not survive outside of the body for very long, so there is no risk of pregnancy in this scenario. For there to be a risk of pregnancy there needs to be direct contact of ejaculate/pre-ejaculate and the vagina or vulva, which did not occur here.

Re: Feeling being rude and offensive

Hi Mika.m,

Yes it is fine to remember experiences you have and things you saw to use them in times like during masturbation. This is common for people to think about certain people they know or have seen to become aroused. Doing this in private is fine.
