Re: ready to date
Hi sky, What I'm hearing is that you are feeling ready to put yourself out there romantically but you also are conscious of your desire to wait to have sex until you feel safe and loved, and those things feel conflicting to you because of the age group you occupy within the dating pool. I can totall...

Re: Thinking of leaving home tonight
Hi Jasonrossi, Welcome to the boards, we're happy to have you. First of all, I'm so sorry you're going through this difficult and stressful situation. Your parent threatening to hurt you or physically hurting you is never okay and never justified. Parental power and the abuse of that power can be a ...

Re: Coming out at school
Hi Jay, That does sound really stressful. I won't claim to know your exact experience, but it sounds very similar to what I've experienced in my life as well. I use they/them pronouns and have for almost 3 years! It feels exciting to even say. I feel so proud of myself in the past for being able to ...

Re: I keep masturbating but cant seem to finish
Hi Sillyboy_Finn, Our bodies go through natural phases of increased and decreased physical sensation based on many things. Consistent stimulation to any one part of the body, regardless of whether it is a sexual organ or not can change the way that body part feels, and sometimes decrease the sensati...

Re: i told my close friends that i wasnt a virgin anymore and one of them seems like they dont like me anymore.
Hi Maxipad101, What I'm hearing from you is that when you went to your close friends to share an exciting moment with them, you didn't feel the love that you were hoping for, specifically from S, and that this isn't the first time they have been openly unkind or invalidating of your experiences, lea...

Re: friend makes me horny
Hi Lyle Lanley, I totally get what you're saying about feeling like you've missed out on crucial relationship experiences because of one that was so long during your teen years. I have definitely felt the same way, but the truth is there really is no "should" when it comes to how we learn ...

Re: How can I sit on my partner without sitting in a w-shape?
Hi Blanketghost, Welcome to the boards! I first want to ask about the context of sitting on your partner's lap. It'll help me understand your situation if I can know if sitting with your partner is a physical intimacy thing, or if this position is one you use during sex and would like help making mo...

Re: issues with my clit
Hi Cy, Yes, wearing 100% cotton or just more loose-fitting, breathable underwear will help with natural airflow that can minimize the buildup you're noticing. Genitals are self-cleaning organs, so it is already doing a bulk of the work for you in terms of cleaning, but it can also be a good practice...

Re: How can I make penetration feel good?
Hi Astra, no need for an apology! We are happy to help. What I’m hearing from you is that you still desire vaginal penetration, but haven’t found a way to act on it due to both genital insensitivity as well as some pain when you introduce more than one finger to the vagina. Just want to say right ou...

Polyamory resources?
I'm four years into polyamory and still on my search for good polyamory resources, especially those that go deeper into the psychology of relationship structuring and problem-solving for complex non-monogamous relationships, but I keep running into the same wall. It seems like everyone on a platform...
