Hi Dont know, The info I'm seeing says that there is no age restriction on accessing emergency contraception in Portugal, and that you should be able to get it from a doctor's clinic, a pharmacy or an emergency room. Do you want to give it a try? I'm sorry that this is feeling so stressful. From wha...

Hi narod-sobe, Welcome to Scareleteen :D It is so wonderful to hear that you are putting in the effort to support and empower your daughter! I am totally behind the safer sex kits, or a drawer or cupboard somewhere in your house with some supplies that your daughter and her friends can help themselv...

Hi there, If it hurts - especially if it's a burny feeling - when you pee then that can be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI). These usually clear up on their own after a couple of days but if it doesn't then speak to your healthcare provider - is that something you have access to? You can re...

Hi Nak1

I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling with anxiety. It's hard when we're worried about things our logical brain know don't make sense. Do you get these feelings of anxiety more generally? Have you sought out any support for it?

Hi ReliableLake, When you say the lack of sex has caused a rut, what does that mean for you? Have you taken any time to think about what it is you get out of sex - both for yourself and for your relationship. For example, if intimacy is one of the important things that you get from sex, what other w...

Hi :) Welcome to the boards! Enjoying your body is a great thing, and I don't think that you have anything to worry about. Different people orgasm more or less quickly and there isn't a "right" length of time to take. Does that make sense? If you want to prolong masturbation (or sex with a...

You're welcome! Is there anything more you'd like to talk about? With this, or anything else?

Can you be more specific? Is it - that she won't agree to making the appointment? - that she won't tell you when the appointment is if she makes one? - that she won't make a plan to get to the appointment? - that she won't stick to the plan if you make it? If she is blocking you from doing this with...

hi phantomdog, I'm sorry that you're feeling hurt about this. From what you describe, you were honest, respected boundaries and didn't escalate sexual contact so I can't see anything you did wrong. It's good that you are checking with yourself that you were considerate and respectful, but sometimes ...

hi crazycatlady :) I'm glad that you feel good and have a comfortable level of intimacy in your relationship. Not everyone wants intercourse as part of their relationships, and that's ok. You say you have other kinds of sex, and it may just be that your partner feels satisfied with that or that they...

Hi Pitapita,

It sounds like home care isn't working for this, and it's time to see a doctor - is that something you have access to? In the meantime, you can try really soaking it in a hot bath and massaging the area to loosen it, but that's not a long term solution.

Hi TeppiTep, HPV can be transmitted by skin-to-skin contact (it doesn't need fluids to be exchanged), which is why condoms reduce the risk of transmission but do not eliminate it entirely. This is particularly important when you remember that you can carry HPV infections on areas where you don't hav...

hi yammy, I'm glad that you two had a sense of humour in the sex you were having - sometimes things don't quite go to plan and that's ok! If you want to include intercourse in the sex you're having, it's generally easiest and most fun when you're both really keyed up from other activities and feelin...

hi there, phantomdog is right, whether someone has an erection or not doesn't tell us whether they like or want to have sex with us - better to speak to them and ask. Are you wondering because you are interested in this person? Do you want to have a conversation about whether this is a friendship or...

If your bladder is empty when you start to masturbate, then the chances are that this is ejaculate rather than urine. Sometimes female ejaculate contains urine, but it is a different fluid. You might find these two useful: Squirt: On Ejaculation and It feels like I have to pee during sex. Do I have ...

Hi Laurlel! There's nothing wrong or strange about being more into imagination and fantasy than touching yourself. In fact, even when people are stimulating their body, what's happening in their thoughts is often an important part of their enjoyment. You're certainly not doing anything wrong; there ...

What can you do to make sure that she does remember? Maybe you can book it together, so you know when it is and then can make a plan together for how you're going to get to it?

Not quite sure I understand you, can you elaborate?

Hi maple_syrup, How do you feel about cohabiting rather than a legal marriage? For some people cohabiting is enough, especially if they have strong feelings about the historical role of marriage in society, whereas for others marriage adds a layer of stability, legal protection and commitment - afte...

hi lianri, I'm so sorry that this person sexually assaulted you. I hope you know it wasn't your fault. How are you doing now? Have you sought out any support? It's understandable that you still have feelings for this guy, and I'm glad you have had some kind of apology. I don't think that he is a saf...

Hi anastasiaa, There is no wrong way to masturbate! It can take a while to figure out what exactly feels good for you though. When you're doing things that involve entry - with fingers or objects - then pain is usually from not being aroused and relaxed enough. Adding lube is a good start, but those...

Hi solareclipse,

I saw Jacob suggested you tell him to stop staring - have you tried that? I know it's tough when you're trying to get over someone and they act out, but it sounds like you're doing the right thing by focusing elsewhere. In time it will get easier, for real.

Hi maple_syrup, It sounds like you have a lot on your plate. I have couple of distinct questions here, and it seems like thinking about them all mixed in together is making it even more confusing and difficult. The first question is what kind of life do you want for yourself? I'm hearing you contras...

Hi touchscreen, I don't think it's selfish or dishonest to have a purely sexual relationship, provided everyone knows that's what it is, and just wants that. You're right, the best thing is to have a conversation at the beginning to check that the other person wants the same thing. You said you don'...

Ok, so it sounds like you're as sure as you can be that he has deleted everything, and he's not giving any indication that he's going to disrespect your wishes. Taking some space and not being all over eachothers' social media is often an important part of healing after a breakup, even if you want t...
