Chinese language resources
I have a lot of friends who could really use a website like this in their native language. Would you happen to know of one? Simplified or traditional characters are both okay. Barring that, would anyone at least know of a Chinese version of the articles that talk about vaginas and how to pleasure them? My current boyfriend doesn't seem to know anything about that and we don't speak enough of each other's languages for me to help him effectively. Video, article, e-book, whatever you've got would just be so helpful. He's not the only person I know who needs this kind of help 
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide

Re: Chinese language resources
Hey there, mjurks.
Some of our articles are translated into Chinese. You can find out which by clicking the "translate" tab on any given article and seeing which translations are offered.
Vaginas aren't actually one size fits all in terms of how pleasure works with them: how pleasure works for a person with that anatomy has way more to do with that whole person and their whole body than just their vagina and vulva. So, working on communication is really the way to go with partners having issues with pleasure. When there's a big language barrier, that can obviously be a big problem! How do you two bridge communication gaps about other things?
If you do want to give him some basic info on this anatomy in Chinese as a starting place, this piece does have a Chinese translation: https://www.scarleteen.com/zh-hans/arti ... E4%BD%8D_0
In terms of general sexuality resources in Chinese, you, he and your friends might find Love Matters, which has a China offshoot, useful: https://lovematterschina.com/

Re: Chinese language resources
Wow those are really helpful resources! Thanks Heather!
Basic communication goes okay. For the rest it's usually a combo of pointing, charades, and Google translate haha. It's probably not something that will work out long term but we're still in the fun beginning stages so there's not much need to get too deep.

Hello mjlurks,
That sounds fun! Glad to hear that the language barrier isn't too much of an issue.

Re: Chinese language resources
Given your age, mjlurks, I wonder if with any communication barriers when it comes to explaining what you want and need if there might be any visual sexual media (porn/erotica) you can use that can help? For sure, a lot of it isn't very helpful because so much of it isn't realistic and/or isn't what we want in real life, but some of it out there can be, or at least might be helpful in small slivers if you're having a hard time expressing what you like?
