An ex of mine used to use "play" if they wanted to fool about without necessarily wanting sex.

On one hand, I sort of get the concept. On the other hand, saying, "you wanna go play?" just sounds...off.

I think it has a connotation of innocence, or like youth or something that makes it sound so off. I wouldn't call it playin. Maybe foolin' around.

I guess you could use coconut oil or other conditioners on it? Do not try hair-straightening kits, they contain nasty chemicals that will do really bad things to the skin there.

The hairs are coarse because the follicle openings are oval shaped. There's not really a way to change that.

I guess if you're really desperate and have the money, you can approach someone about getting it lasered off, but I don't know what effect this would have on the tissues.

Just get a trimmer and trim it short. There's no real way to get smooth flowing locks around your bits short of getting oral from someone with long hair.

Its a really common term in some communities and subcultures for potentially non-sexual but erotic activities, particularly in the BDSM community. Be aware and try not to get things confused, or things may get weird - but maybe you'll like it a lot, so go try!

I thought I'd heard something to that effect a while back (specifically related to BDSM), still interesting.

Fake edit: And now that I think about it, that term in that context actually makes quite a bit of sense.

Laser hair removal just removes hair. It doesn't soften it or straighten it or anything. It doesn't do anything to the skin either or nobody would get it.

Just get some nice conditioner. It's not brain surgery.

Any tips for a guy unable to reach orgasm while doing traditional sex (or as the kids are calling it these days PiV)?, I am only able to with oral and have been frustrated by it lately. An adittional nuisance is that I get very wet during foreplay (read as lots of pre-cum), but it's only a laundry problem of sorts, so goons, time to help!.

The fact that you're worried or upset that you can't reach orgasm is probably the reason you can't do it in the first place. Just relax and focus on having fun and you'll probably reach it eventually. I don't think it's such a big deal anyway. Sex isn't about orgasming in the right moment but about enjoying yourself.

I don't think there's a solution for the wet foreplay part. Some guys just get wet more easily than others. If it bothers you, just keep a towel nearby so that you don't stain anything, but I don't think you should worry about this either.

Explain to her that that is what your deal is, wait for the 70% chance that she says 'I don't tend to come in PiV either', then have lots of sex, PiV or otherwise, that is enhanced by you knowing stuff about each other's sexual responses and feeling comfortable enough with each other to talk about it.

Are you using condoms? You might be used to the skin-on-skin contact you're getting from oral. I know I have trouble keeping it up - much less getting off - if I use a condom after years of condom-free sex.

I was hoping someone could give me a bit of perspective.
Recently I have been experiencing occasional, but extreme pain in one, and sometimes both ovaries during intercourse. I'm pretty inexperienced, having had only one sexual partner, who is my current partner. I've been told by a few of my female friends that this is normal, and has something to do with ovulation. But I have also been told that it is something that should be checked out by a physician ASAP (as seems to be the consensus from my online searches). Sometimes it's just mild and goes away if we change position. Sometimes it's excruciating.
Should I be concerned or is this something any of you or your SOs have experienced?
I'm reluctant to go to my doctor because he's so far refused to refer me to a GYN at all because according to him that type of specialist is for serious issues only, and he's a bit of a disrespectful douchbag, generally. I guess I'm just looking for a bit more clarity before I decide to make myself an appointment with someone who I can't stand.

No, you don't ovulate only during penetration and every time you have sex, your friends are hella misinformed.

If the pain is actually in your ovaries, there are a couple possibilities, but it's certainly worth getting them checked out. But are you sure the pain isn't in your cervix?

Either way, can you go to a Planned Parenthood or other clinic? You shouldn't need a referral for that (and they should work with you even with no/crummy insurance). If not, this is a gyn-specific issue, so your doctor should at least go with it. Is the referral an irritating insurance necessity, or are you from the UK or something? Can you not just switch doctors completely?

Do you have an HMO, or PPO? A lot of doctors act like you need a referral for everything, but a PPO will just let you march in and set an appointment without any prior referral.

At any rate, SEARING OVARIAN PAIN sounds like a pretty serious gynecological issue, if he doesn't let you talk to a specialist, talk to a different doctor.

I didn't say that I thought I ovulated only during penetration. I know how ovulation works, it's not that. I was meaning that they said that it was happening as a result of it being during the time I am ovulating. And that many women experience the same.
And I'm in Canada, so there's not really an issue of insurance or HMOs or anything. There is a serious wait list for new doctors (I'm on 4 years now) and clinics of any sort around here take entire days of waiting time. I can get into see my doctor in decent time. I just generally find him unhelpful and uncompromising.

Some women do get pain when they ovulate, called "mittelschmerz" and that might be what your friends are thinking of. But that doesn't really sound like what you're describing since ovulation pain isn't really related to intercourse and wouldn't be happening multiple times a month unless you have a VERY weird menstrual cycle.

As for what it could actually be, that's tough to say. I have occasionally experience pain, but it's usually because I got hit in cervix and isn't really in ovary-area (ovaries being more towards your hip bones, cervix more centralized). Could also be something like a cyst. Which is not a diagnosis mind you, this is really something that needs to be taken to a gynecologist because it doesn't sound normal or very fun to deal with.

Also maybe the standards are different where you are, but usually once you become sexually active it's considered wise to be seen by a gynecologist at least every few years (or more often if you have problems).

As other people said - ovary pain is a thing that should be checked out, although it can be benign. And pain during sex is a thing that can often be fixed with lube, experience and so on, but can also be a thing that really needs to see a doctor.

Pain in the ovaries only occurring during sex makes no sense though. I would guess it would be that it feels like the pain is there but actually it is somewhere else (such as he is banging on your cervix and that is what hurts).

Probably best to see a doc on the offchance that it's on the ovary though, cause there are causes of ovary pain that need to be found sooner rather than later.

Maybe I wasn't clear. It doesn't happen often. It happens occasionally. But when it happens we have to stop, and sometimes there is a residual dull pain for only a few minutes. Sometimes the pain is gone as soon as he removes himself from me. It just feels like pressure is almost pushing into the ovaries. It's definitely not the cervix that I'm feeling. It's happened maybe a handful of times in the past year. But I only just recently started realizing that it could be an issue.

From that I've just read about "mittelscherz" it sounds very similar. Thanks for pointing it out. Though I think I might take all of your advice ad just go to my doctor. I'd rather get it checked and have nothing or know what the deal is than just sit and take the pain.
