I had unprotected sex as a young teen, and later found out she had been through half of the football team. I was not a smart teenager. 13 years later I have not had any symptoms of anything, but I may be sexually active again soon and while I know ~CONDOMS~ are there any STD tests I should prioritize or that I can check off as "Well, if my junk hasn't rotted away in the past decade, I know I don't have X or Y"?

Just call a Planned Parenthood and schedule an appointment (or schedule it online - some locations offer that)! No big deal. You're probably fine, but it never hurts to check, and it sounds like you're a little paranoid about this. Relax! Take responsibility for your sexual health and relax in the knowledge that you know how your junk is doing. :)

I've had the same problem! I usually place a pillow between my head and the wall. As long as half of it is under my head (so the pillow doesn't flap down and cover my face) it usually works out okay! Either that or we just start as far away from the wall as possible, so we don't have to reposition so often.

Was your partner always asexual or did it develop during relationship? I'm fuckbuddies with a girl who was in a long relationship where she thought she was asexual. Turns out she just didn't get turned on by the dude she was with. She's a regular old nympho now.

:waycool: Thanks for the relevant and exciting story. What a privilege to have had you tell this to us.

For real, that's a pretty lame attitude about asexuals and it's something the asker has probably already considered, so I'm not sure what you're trying to add here beyond a brag.

At that point, what's the point of the relationship as opposed to friendship? It's a trainwreck looking for a moment to happen.

I think at that point, it's "romantic feelings" or "familial partnership".

That said, there's no shame in not being able to make either of those things work without sex.

Here's my advice on dating an asexual person if you're someone who enjoys sex: don't

I half-heartedly agree with this. If you're starting out with concerns about how to manage your sex life with an asexual person because you have a sex drive of note, it's probably not a situation where you'll be comfortable or happy in the long-term. (A general "you" here, not specifically addressing the person who started asking!)

Asexual people are cool and good and valuable people who deserve love and happiness and mutually satisfying relationships - but non-asexual people deserve these things, too, and it can be stressful and painful if you expect to be considered sexually desirable by your partner and there's no way that they're going to provide that for you. Like... that's not a mutually satisfying relationship!

If your idea of an acceptable sex life is "occasional with not a lot of enthusiasm" then you're set! Otherwise... :shrug:

sex will probably go better with someone who isn't an rear end in a top hat, so there's that.

For real! :mad: How insensitive and unkind can that guy be? Totally lacking in basic empathy. You don't block someone after a bad first time, even if you don't want to go out again.
What a dick!! The problem is with him not caring enough, period. He didn't make sure you felt comfortable during or after and he's just a heel! Bad! Ugh! I'm sorry. You had a stressful experience and weren't supported by your partner and I'm mad for you!!

I have a weird thing where my clit hurts after rubbing it too long. At first it feels good, but then everything goes away after a while and nopes out. Im on anti-depressants which I take 25mg every other day, but I don't think that could be it.

That's normal! You've gotta give it some time and space to chill out... give it a lil vag vacay

You're not alone in that feeling, but it's a really good resource for sex education, especially for virgins :) Very positive, feminist, and accepting! (And not pornography at all.)

I'm looking to expand my toy collection to get a few of the staples - ring gag, butt plug, clamps, etc. that I'm currently lacking. Can anyone recommend a good online store that's discrete and has some quality? I've looked around on babeland a bit but their selection, especially for gags, is sparse.

CVS's online storefront. They have a good (maybe not the best, but solid) selection at several price points, they're reputable, and they often have a sale running. For example, right now all online orders are 30% off, and if you buy some groceries in store you can redeem extrabucks for online purchases. :) And what's more discreet than a box and a bill from a pharmacy/convenience store?

My Girlfriend, and my Boyfriend and I were dicking around, and I got cum in my eye, I've rinsed it out, is there anything else I need to do? I google'd it, and "Cum in eye" doesn't cum up with a lot of results.

Throw out any contact lens you were wearing at the time. Otherwise a little eye rinse should be enough, but I'm not a doctor!

I don’t have a penis, but parts of that made me think “shouldn’t you see a doctor?”
I think whydirt and Johnny Truant might be leaning in the same “doctor” direction.
I’m sure it will be fine and I’m happy you’re happy, but a couple of things you mentioned (flaking, a change in scent, excess sensitivity) sound a little bit like doctor-visit territory! But I only know what you told us :)

You need to pull up 27 different porn videos, like a porn hunter setting up your targets. You have to beat em down to a handful and make sure to properly pleasure yourself to each before you find the best cumshot to finish to. This is all done with fine grit sandpaper and st ives penile exfoliant cream.

Some peasants find one video, watch it for 5 minutes or less and finish quickly because they couldnt help it.

Girl, you have palpable discomfort talking about sex when you’re writing it down, when you have all of the time in the world to say anything!

You need some therapy to work on your comfort with sex, if you can find it. If not, then you can start putting together reading material and a journal to work through the shame/discomfort of talking about sex. If you can talk about it more freely, you will have an easier time communicating with your partner! :)

(I do know an LCSW who is a trans woman who does a lot of work revolving around sexuality, and I think she does telehealth if you’d like me to send you her info.)

You’re going to get a divorce, dude.

You don’t seem like you want to work things out with your wife specifically, just that you want to minimize your inconvenience. That’s fine, but that means your marriage is ending.

Keep a lawyer handy so you don’t make any big mistakes, be considerate that this is hard for her too, and try to start looking at your situation through that lens. I’m sorry.

How long should piv sex last? is 7 minute ok?

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18331255/

As PittTheElder said, the real answer for how long it should last is “however long feels right to you and your partner.” It’s personal, so just focus on the people involved.

However, statistically, according to Americans/Canadians, 3-7 minutes is considered “fine and normal” and 7-13 minutes is “preferable.”

Globally, the intercourse duration median is 5.5 minutes (per a 2006 study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16422843/ ).

All of this is to say that within the varied rainbow of human sexual experience, 7 minutes is totally normal and common.
If you or your partner feel like it’s too long or too short, you can look for ways to make each other happier, but it seems fine to me.

Early to Bed is local to me - they're really great people and they will answer questions if you have them!

If you need the deal - CVS and Walgreens coupons do apply to their sexual health department, and they carry toys from reputable brands (Lelo, Intimina, PicoBong) online, so perhaps you can wait for a good couopn or redeem your store points to purchase the item you're interested in at a lower price.

Question: Lately I found that getting off for getting off's sake does nothing for me. I need be to emotionally invested. I'm a cis woman on SSRIs which I'm sure aren't helping. But when I try to get off normally I just get bored. Is my junk broke or am I just demisexual?

Not broken at all. Maybe not even demisexual (unless that really resonates with you) - have you ever read about "spontaneous" vs. "responsive" desire?

Here's an overview from Men's Health mag, and an overview on Mashable.

It's pretty corny, but it can be a helpful framework for thinking about sex.

quote:

Clinical sex educator Gigi Engle describes it as having "sexy-minds" or "sexy-bodies." People can flip between the two but may lean more heavily one way. A sexy-minded person (spontaneous desire), she says "is someone who needs the context of a sexual experience/interaction to become fully aroused… if you’re in the right headspace, desire can manifest." Meanwhile, a sexy-bodied person (responsive desire) is someone who is "easily aroused, thinks about sex often, and often uses sex to relieve stress."

How does this play out in the moment? "Spontaneous desire comes on without an outside influence," Edwina Caito, sex expert at sex blog Bedbible, tells Mashable. Meaning, you can think yourself horny. The mental desire comes before the physical arousal.

Responsive desire, on the other hand, is in response to physical stimuli, she says. The physical arousal comes first and the mental desire follows. For example, your partner runs their hand up and down your inner thigh while you're watching a film, and it triggers some sexy thoughts. Caito gives the example of reading a particularly steamy love scene and feel a "familiar tingle downstairs" or you return home to your partner laying out a surprise romantic dinner, go in for a hug and "before you know it, the plates are on the floor and you're having sex on the table. That's reactive desire."
