Oh, my doctor is wonderful and I'm very comfortable with her, the issue really lies with me. Thanks for your help!

Hello! I'd like to know if it's possible to get acne on the clitoral hood. I've been on testosterone therapy for a few years, so I'm used to acne arriving where it's least expected, but I also know that there are body parts where you're not supposed to get it. This doesn't look like any lesion or so...

We have discussed our relationship style (at length) and made a few adjustments as needed. With her last long-term partner, I had similar feelings until I got to know them and made friends. That more or less alleviated my difficulties then and I think it will work again, but that means I have to dea...

Thanks for your response, Jacob! I am working on self-esteem with my therapist, but of course those kinds of deep-seated beliefs are a long journey to uproot so there are some uncomfortable experiences along the way. I did do years of cognitive-behavioral therapy, which sort of trained me to rate my...

Hey! I have a question that might have a very obvious answer (maybe especially for people without histories of abuse that mess with one's sense of appropriate boundaries?). Some background: my girlfriend and I have been dating for a few years now and she's non-monogamous. She recently started dating...

Hi Edith and Heather, thank you for responding. I can warn my friends, but if I told my family there's a significant possibility they would give him my contact information out of spite. I don't want to get the law involved unless he threatens me directly. I can tell my rabbi and my coworkers. I'm ac...

Hey, I'd really appreciate some advice on how I can stay safe in light of a renewal of an old threat. An ex who raped and beat me as a young teenager moved away and I cut contact with him. Many years later, he tried to contact me on Facebook. I ignored him, but now he's started talking to my friends...

I called the telehealth line for my province and spoke with a nurse, who said I should get a doctor to see it within 24 hours. I managed to get an appointment to see a colleague of my family doctor this afternoon and brought along a moral support, and suffered through the exam. It was pretty unpleas...

Hi! Do you have advice on how I can differentiate between a sore from an STI and a sore from rubbing against fabric/skin? I have a flat, itchy, red sore/abrasion on the inside of my butt, near my genitals. To me, it looks like irritation from underwear and rubbing (it probably doesn't help that I pr...

Hey folks! I'm 19, and my girlfriend and I have been dating for two years now. When we started dating, I was 17 and she was 21. Our age difference has never bothered me, or anyone I'm close with (the age of consent is 16 where I live). However, some people whose opinions I respect have been recently...
