So, it's sounding like you could do with more people in your life who you can share queer stuff with. That's a pretty common, and basic, need: to have some people who share some aspects of ourself and our experiences. Anyone's options for that are really - share more with appropriate people already ...

I confess I'm one of the people who isn't very fond of the phenomenon of offering prayers as a contribution to a rough situation - so, Sunshine, I don't feel that anything is lost by your lack of prayer :) Especially when the rough situation is rooted in systemic wrongs, like this hate crime express...

I'm glad that was helpful to you! I'm sorry that I was on-point enough about the interaction with your mother, though: that kind of thing doesn't feel good. It's not a super-unusual reaction from parents - I think some truly have no idea what to do or say, and maybe others wish it might go away. I'v...

Hi Sunshine, I personally relate to some of the things you're talking about here, so maybe hearing a bit about that might help you out some - it's definitely been immensely helpful to me to read and hear other queer/bi/"bi-umbrella" women talk about similar things. I came to understand whe...

You already have a thread where you've been asking about this and where a limit was set with you, so I'm closing this thread.

You did also answer this question yourself in your very first post in that thread

Did you let the healthcare provider who prescribed the antibiotic for you, and/or the pharmacist who gave it to you, know that you're on the pill? If you told them and they didn't say anything, you can be assured that there's no issue with the antibiotic and your pill. The majority of antibiotics - ...

What kind of doubts about the relationship have you been having? Can you also tell us a bit about how communication usually goes in this relationship - for example, when you and he need to figure out a bump, something you've disagreed on, something that's bothered one of you, how does that usually g...

I'm so very sorry that "friend" behaved like that! You're right in thinking that someone who betrays your trust and speaks badly of you to other people is no kind of friend at all. It's also not okay for people to mock you about your sexual history. It's never okay to mock anyone about the...

Hi Wonderment, and welcome to Scarleteen! Thank you for asking this question and for wanting to do your best to support your friends, although I'm so sorry all of you find yourselves in this situation. It's never easy for anyone. You're on the right lines already simply by caring and wanting to supp...

Hi, junojagger. I'd like to add some things to what Sam's given you. You said you think it's strange that he doesn't orgasm from intercourse - it's actually not strange. For sure, it's more common than not for people with penises to orgasm (at least sometimes) from intercourse, but there's still ple...

Aww, thank you. I'm happy to do it.

Sounds like you've done some smart planning about this evening, as usual Your P.A. sounds wonderful. Hope you have a lovely evening!

Welcome to Scarleteen, michelle. We will not answer ANY questions about pregnancy fear or anxiety in our direct services from users who are not pregnant or who are not or have not otherwise been directly involved with an actual pregnancy.

I think it's likely to be easier when there's less "big things" still in front of you to handle, yes. When there's less outside requirements, the more you can prioritise your own inner needs and move through your own personal process. Yay for supportive colleagues! It's totally understanda...

Yes, that's right: if you take all your pills as directed, you have your pill's protection from pregnancy, at all times through the pack and during the break week. It's understandable to have questions about the break week: it would be a strange concept for most other kinds of medication! But for th...

I'm really glad that was manageable and it sounds like the people doing it treated you right - that can make a real difference to these kinds of things. Good on you, too, for using the supports you can, like your advocate, your walking companion and your dad's ring. And your minion! :) The therapist...

I think Heather was asking whether you truly felt like the sex was out of your control when it happened, or whether you've found it difficult to accept that you did have control of an equal part of it. There isn't a right or wrong answer here, by the way: there are very understandable reasons why ei...

I'm glad to hear you talked with an advocate! That can really, really help with things like dealing with police, as they can talk you through whatever you want to know about the process in advance. Often, an advocate can go with you just as your support and either be in the room at the time, or be w...

It's fine to post about symptoms here: we're a sex and relationships education site, so details are fine - and unremarkable to us! - whenever they're relevant. Of course, we can't diagnose anything because we're not doctors and it's over the internet, but we may be able to help with suggestions abou...

They don't counter-act, no. They're both progestin-only hormonal methods and work by consistently releasing small amounts of hormone. Having a bit extra hormone while they overlap isn't going to do anything different to its contraceptive effect. You've still been covered by your depo shot, so yes, y...

You started this thread by saying he ejaculated on your genitals, which is the question that Sam answered.

We have extensive information on the site about sexual activites and pregnancy risks, which we've linked you to.

Again, what you're asking about is answered in the information we've linked you to and in the replies we've already given you, so I'm closing this thread.

Your mom was wrong about this. (Plenty of people are: there's too much false information about contraception floating around, and sometimes healthcare providers don't explain clearly enough.) With the pill, if you take it as directed, you'll have its proper protection from pregnancy, no matter if yo...
