Do you like ASMR?

I have a question for all of you! Lately I have been experiencing a lot of very physical anxiety which has never happened to me before. Stomach pains, headaches, my heart beating real fast for what seems like forever, easy overstimulation both visually and auditory. Something I've found to help me a...

Re: Questions and more questions

Always ask questions if you have them, no shame! Exploring your sexual or romantic orientation doesn't have to be scary and painful. You're right that unlearning guilt and ptsd are really difficult processes, and I'm so sorry that exploring something natural and positive about yourself is triggering...

Re: Pill

Hi, Allybannsiders! If you successfully took your pill and didn't notice the pill coming back up when you coughed, it was likely in your stomach already and won't be coming back anytime soon.

Re: Mission trips=white savior complex?

I definitely relate to this uneasiness! It's a complicated topic that I don't feel very clear on yet - it's definitely valid that people are comforted by their religions, and that shouldn't be demeaned, but there is such a heavy history of conversion without consent and white people inviting themsel...

Re: Very confused about my body

Thanks for your question! All bodies and vaginas are different, and many people have felt the same confusion you do. I'm wondering if you've had the opportunity to ask your doctor or a gynecologist about this, just to rule out any medical issues?

Re: Am I having premature ejaculation

Hi, cannavaro! Thanks for your question. First of all, how are you feeling? Do you think you ejaculate too quickly? Are you communicating with your partner about how this new experience of not using a condom is making you both feel? Have you both been tested for STI's, and are you using other method...

Re: Crop tops and shoulderless tops as a trans gal?

Hi, KittyPink! Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I definitely understand the fear of looking out of place. It's so great that you feel confident wearing shoulderless/crop tops, and that alone gives you the right to wear them. I would suggest that if you have a support group or some individual...

Re: PMS Symptoms Gone

Hi! It's quite common to have PMS symptoms vary and feel irregular, especially if you're within the first few years of having your period. Bodies can change over time and sometimes periods be late or early for no obvious reason. I notice that my PMS symptoms tend to stop a day or two before my perio...

Re: How have you met your partners?

Hey Sam! I actually met my partner on Tinder, before they decided to shut down the underage portion of the app. I'd had the app for about 6 months, and he'd only had it for a few days! Lucky him! Most of my previous relationships before that had come from school interactions. I live in a pretty smal...
