Hello! I have been seeing this girl for a bit now and I have a feeling that we are going to kiss for the first time tomorrow. Anytime I’ve kissed someone in the past it always feels really awkward right afterwards and I feel like I need something to say, but I never know what. Does anyone have any a...

Hello! So, I’m almost 22 and I’ve never slept with anyone or been in a significant relationship. I dated a guy for a few months when I was 17, but since then I’ve only been on a few dates here and there. I don’t have a problem with this in terms of social pressure or anything like that; until recent...

I think you're right that ultimately this is probably something I'll never fully understand. I think the lack of closure is something that's always made it difficult for me to move on from the experience. And I know exactly what you mean about being tentative to make any advances with other women fo...

Hi CygnusAstratus, thanks for the thoughtful reply. I do have a therapist who I've been seeing now for a couple of years. I will get around to discussing this with her at some point, but she is a CIS straight woman and sometimes I feel like it would be more useful to talk to other Queer people. But ...

So I'm 20 years old and I've known I was gay now for like four or five years. I've been on a few dates with a few different women but it never seems to turn into anything. If it's someone I have feelings for I'm never confident enough that they like me back to actually make a move and if someone act...

Okay, thanks !! Should I be cautious about kissing and sharing drinks even if I have no symptoms at the time?

Hello. So both of my parents get cold sores every once in a while, and I am aware that that probably means they both have HSV-1. Does that mean that I probably also have HSV-1? I have never had a cold sore, but I do occasionally have a mildly unusual sensation around my upper lip. However, in my dai...

Yes, thank you so much!!! I took your advice and asked her and she said yes! She said she’d actually wanted to ask me out for a while, so I’m glad one of us finally did! Thanks again for the help!!

So I’ve had this very flirty thing going with this girl since October and I’m pretty sure if I were to ask her out she’d be interested, but I’ve never asked a girl out before and I’m wondering how to go about it? Is it okay to do it over text or is that lame? Is there a way to respond if she says no...

Ya, I’ve thought about doing that a few times. I’d love to, I just can’t seem to screw up enough courage. Thanks for the advice, happy new year !

Thank you, I think I can do that. I think part of what’s making it so difficult to move on is that while we weren’t close friends the time we did spend together felt kind of special. I’m not sure if she’s at all into women, but there were a number of moments when it seemed like she was making subtle...

I have been pretty much head over heels in love with a certain girl for over 2 years now. During that time I’ve been in a relationship with someone else and I’ve had other small crushes on various people, but whatever I do I just seem to keep coming back to her. We were never in a relationship, we w...

I know sexual health is an important topic to cover with your partner before becoming sexually active. Is vaccination status also an important topic to discuss? I am all up to date on my vaccinations but is that something I should expect my partner to want to discuss? Also if my partner isn’t up to ...

Thank you for the response! To answer your question, yes this is the first time he’s come to me with sexual stuff. Other than when he’s had a crush or something like that. It did make me feel pretty uncomfortable just because he’s still so little and innocent to me and thinking about him taking this...

Ok I need some advice. To start, my little brother and I are really close. We are six years apart but we are best friends. We talk about everything and we really trust each other and I’ve worked so hard to make sure he can trust me and confide in me. So anyways tonight he came to me asking about mas...

Hello! I'm sorry, I know I use this website for such random stuff but you guys are all so helpful and I don't know who else to talk to. Okay so last year I was VERY briefly in kind of a thing w this guy, like we weren't dating or anything but we were texting and he was flirting and I didn't like ful...

Hello. So I'm just going to jump right to it. My vagina kind of hurts. At first it was just one side, but then that mostly went away and now it's the other side. About a month ago I noticed a small red bump on the inside of my vagina. It didn't really hurt unless I pushed on it. I believe that went ...

Oh so you mean that it is unlikely that masturbating caused this bump? Also what other reasons could it possibly be there?

If it gets worse I'll definitely have to tell her, I just don't want her to ask like if I've been masturbating or something. Maybe she won't, but if she did I wouldn't want to lie to her, but I also don't want her to know.

So recently I've started masturbating. I just stimulate the clitoris mostly, not a huge fan of penetration. Today I was in the shower and I noticed a small (size of a largish pimple) pinkish bump on the inside of my vagina. It's on the inside lip type things (Idk what they are called sorry that's em...

Thank you all for the input!! It's so helpful!! Just a couple things to add, I love my friends. Thy treat me really well and they are very sweet and caring people. Most of them have never done drugs, and have only had a small portion of alcohol. It's only a couple of my close friends that have been ...

Well, most of them have not said anything, but my best friend has. She doesn't tell me anything about her life. Not anything, but she tells everyone else and since we have a lot of mutual friends I typically find out from other people. Also, she told a friend of our that I'm immature and that's why ...

So this is not about sex... But I need to talk and idk where else to go. I'm 16, and people have always told me I'm mature for my age. They call me an "old soul" but I recently have been feeling like such a baby. A lot of my friends have started doing drugs and even more of them have start...

Okay, thank you so much for the info!!

So very recently I decided to try masturbating. I've done it a few times but I don't think I've had an orgasm yet. I read that that is totally normal. Is that correct? Is it okay not to have an orgasm when you masturbate? Also, I guess I was sort of excited when I found something new that was privat...
