Sort of?
My wife says it smells like popcorn.
Sex Ed Era: Judgement-free zone for questions

What a cruel word we live in. I seriously hope male birth control gets some kind of an international release soon. I feel so bad that women have to burden themselves with birth control if no protection is used.
lol! Oh, believe me. I told her the same thing about the nausea too. What made it worse is, I understand Plan B is more effective the quicker she takes it, and she was putting the pill aside to take it "later on at night" since she didn't want to deal with the nausea.
And that was the last time I had unprotected sex with that one!
And wow, I didn't realize they had discontinued the patch! I wonder why.
So I looked it up and apparently they are still making patches. However, the original and most well-known brand, Ortho Evra, was discontinued once the generic version was approved, so now only the generics exist.
The most well known issue with the patch is that you are exposed to much more estrogen than other hormonal birth control, which can increase the risk of blood clots, and possibly other symptoms. It's about a 3x greater risk than other hormonal bc, but the overall risk is still pretty low. The other issue is that for people who weigh over 198 pounds, it is not as effective as the higher levels of body fat make it harder to absorb from the skin.
Once word got out about those things, people have pretty much steered clear. I'm actually surprised they still make a generic version. I tried it once and it made me feel nauseous- I'm pretty small, so I'm thinking the extra estrogen fucked with me.

The shot made me gain like 30 lbs it was awful :( The pill made me moody.
My sister legit almost died from a IUD so yeah never tried that.
Thankfully it's not an issue any more. Endometriosis and birth defects have at least one good side :p

I can't remember having any major issues with the shot, but my gyno at the time was in a really annoying area to get to and it was a major pain in the ass to go there every three months to get the shot. I'mma be honest, the only reason why I tried the shot and patch was because I was a big fucking baby and couldn't swallow pills till like college. I have no idea why. It's second nature to me now.
I'm pretty sure the Pill made my boobs grow when I first got on it. I went from an A to a B. It could just be coincidence though. I was 18.
Never tried the IUD because the Pill has worked just fine for me for many years, so I figure, why mess with something that works? I guess I'm lucky.

They have a little nub of pure sensitivity, no refractory period, and multiple orgasm potential. Guys can only do the latter by putting something up their butt and hardcore training like their trying to learn how to use ki for the first time in DBZ.
Yeah, I did too. You could imagine my reaction when I finally saw porn.
LOL, this is hilarious but also kinda accurate.
I've played around with prostate stuff a bit and there seriously is a moment where you find just the right spot, you focus hard on working it and maintain your rhythm. Soon after, you begin to feel this escalating sensation of pleasure spread through your whole body, you can feel the breakthrough approaching. When the orgasm finally hits you your body convulses as your mind goes blank and you grunt, groan, and even laugh at the awesome power of self pleasure you've achieved for yourself.
More of a lady question than anything. But how often are women supposed to go a gyno? What does a typical exam entail? Do a lot of women just not go for years? It's hard enough to get people to go to the dentist.
My wife goes every year, it's like a physical but just for their reproductive system and insurance completely covers it because it counts as routine maintenance, same as a physical. Also they do simple breast exams I think. However, that's if there are no issues. If something is wrong she obviously schedules an appointment to get checked out.
No you know.
Legs will potentially shake. Her crotch will be super sensitive. If you touch it her right after an orgasm, she won't be able to handle it.
At least once a year. Twice a year if you are on any kind of hormonal contraceptive.
Living in Texas, a local abstinence-only group distributed all the teaching materials for sex ed in my school. This led to utterly appalling sex negative teaching, where like most other abstinence only education, failed. There were incredibly sexist things like "girls brains are spaghetti and boys brains are waffles", or the whole "piece of tape = girl, stick it to each guy in the room and it doesn't stick as well". Masturbation? Lol, literally the only mention of it was on a "pledge" thing where you had to fill in the blanks of the four types of sex you would pledge not to do until married. They were "vaginal, oral, anal, and masturbation". I kid you not someone in the class asked "isn't that jacking off?" They also talked about how condoms will almost always fail, didn't even talk about how to put one on, and not only that, couldn't as that was against the law if I'm not mistaken. Birth control was basically "don't do it it doesn't work".
I found out researching it recently that that abstinence group financially went under about 7 or 8 years ago. Karma.

Jesus fuck how are those things legal...
I mean, I know why because Texas but goddamn I didn't know how bad those programs can be outside of just saying simple dumb shit.
That wasn't just dumb shit, that is some top level nonsense that no idiot teaching it believes.
You could tell because it was almost always coaches when they split up girls and boys. Science teachers otherwise, but with them you could even tell they didn't believe this shit.
Ive thought thats mainstream since Charlie Runkle has had a shower.
Adorable opening post btw. Interesting topic.
edit, nevermind, my english upgradeable.
That's Texas, with good ol' Greg Abbott carrying Rick Perry'' torch on that one.

Don't forget Texas is one of the states with a law that requires women to listen to the heartbeat before getting an abortion. I'm no lawyer, but I have no idea how that doesn't go against Roe v. Wade.
Thanks for the clarification. I can sleep peacefully now
They tested it and it comes from the same place as pee. But i still think it's slightly different from pee. And i don't think you can get women to squirt that easily in a controlled environment. So while some people who never experienced it are very happy to shout "it's pee", the people who did experience it say it's not quite the same. Maybe there will be more rechearch some day. Untill that time, enjoy. For women: don't feel afraid to let it happen but also don't think you need to pee to make a man feel he made you squirt. Some male egos are ridiculous. Don't give in to them.

Really!? The US never ceases to baffle the rest of the world. :-) The specific width in particular is such an important factor for comfort.
I would have died if I couldn't get my specific size when I used condoms as my only means of prevention.
A big part of NoFap is connected with PUA ideas, so yeah it's basically next door neighbors with the alt-right. The idea is that not masturbating will make you more "alpha", something that will show either in how women find you more attractive or how you're more likely to ask women out. Obviously a load of garbage, so make sure to ignore the folks asking about No Nut November.
Also: This is a great idea for a thread. People can always use more sex-ed, since the schools can often be pretty insufficient. I know when I was in school they taught us about abstinence, which I know for a fact doesn't work, and is why MS had the highest teen pregnancy numbers.
Checking in to reenforce that by turning your girls orgasms into a scoring mechanism for your own masculinity is a shitty thing to do and don't do it. Sex was ruined for me in a couple relationships because I felt pressured to "perform" or else I'd damage his ego. You think you're being considerate and generous but I promise you you're not.
And trim and FILE your nails.
And trim and FILE your nails.
As someone who has absolutely no knowledge of manicures, how should you go about filing your nails?
I usually trim them when I know I'm not going to use them for any "digital" sex same day.
Get a nail file and round down the hard edges. You'll get it as soon as you try it.
A simple nail file will do. Try and imagine raking your nails over your glans. If you think it'll hurt, thats how it'll probably feel to women.
One of those things where the loudest voices pervade culture, but it's also something that's as variable as anything possibly could be, if only because fingers come in all sizes. I've personally been told to use 3 or even 4 fingers sometimes, but I have long-ish slender fingers, so *shrugs*
Never heard of that. But that depends on a couple of factors, doesn't it?
Wow. Great description. So, does orgasm from prostate stimulation feel different from orgasm working the penis? Or is it just that the effort and concentration needed are diffferent, but both methods end up taking you to the same place.
Every orgasm I've ever had is accompanied (caused?) by involuntary uterine contractions. These spasms of ecstasy radiate out. So even though you can't touch the uterus directly, you can still feel these contractions if your finger or penis are inside her vagina when she orgasms.
from my experience i don;'t think i've felt that, i have felt a somewhat clamping down but that's happened outside of orgasm. idk, i;ve been on a sad old dry spell for 2 long
Sometimes one finger hurts more than two, because it's too thin and may feel like it's stabbing your insides. Two fingers is better for a more vigorous fingering, cause it's more steady and the girth is ideal.
For me, when my fingers are in my vagina, the contractions from orgasm feel like a short fluttering of gentle to moderate squeezes. This rapid phase of the vagina "hugging" the finger lasts a few seconds at most. But then it slows down, and for a couple of minutes, the contractions still happen, but each contraction is several seconds apart.
Is the porn message that it is a sign of women coming true?
No. Porn is toxic in that way. Makes people think they need to do all kinds of stuff.
Does anyone have experience/advice on getting therapy for Vaginismus? I have a friend who has confidence issues and feels she'll never date because of previous experiences where she found it painful to have sex but she won't come out and say it so I just want some info for if it eventually does come up.
She says she's visited doctors and they've just told her to suck it up which is awful but given the town she's in I'm not surprised.
Said conversations usually come up when she's drunk so it makes it awkward to bring up afterwards. I'm just trying to be better informed.

Perfect timing...
So tonight i will likely be losing my virginity and I'm excited but also super nervous. I'm a little worried I won't be able to finish and it's going to be awkward. What about Foreplay? What are some good things to do to get things going? When were making out/ giving each other bj, he told me he couldnt believe Ive never done any of that before. Which was a good confidence booster even if he was lying. I guess i just need some good general tips for a first timer, which is greatly appreciated!
I mean, it is a sign of a woman coming/orgasming, but it's also entirely possible (and normal) for a woman who squirts to orgasm/multiple orgasm without squirting.
Also, the whole "come hither" motion is way easier with two fingers than one.
Sure, when it's real it's combined with an orgasm.
But in porn it's mostly women being payed to piss away.
I can't even enjoy proff. porn. It's so fucking dumb and fake.
Annually. Thankfully my GP is also an OB/GYN so I just do all that shit when I go for my annual physical.
