A guy thinking that would be similar to someone from one culture looking at someone of another, who looks different or unfamililar, and presuming that because someone looks different from what they look like, or what they know or expect, that that person isn’t normal. Just as when that’s the case…

Sounds like you’re in a difficult spot, but it also sounds like you’re in a really good headspace to work it out, so let’s see what we can do. Some of why your partner is okay with intercourse may indeed be because it’s enjoyable for her, though it sounds like so far it hasn’t been very enjoyable…

I’m sorry you had such a bad experience. However, please understand that that bad experience did not likely cause permanent changes to your vulva or vagina. While certainly, if you were tense or underlubricated, that could have caused a tear to the tissue of the vaginal corona, which may cause mild…

Condoms are ONLY reliable birth control when they are used for ALL direct genital contact, from start to finish. If you have intercourse without a condom, and only put a condom on later on, then you can’t depend on condoms to protect you against pregnancy (or STIs), since it is possible for pre…

1. First and foremost, understand that terms like “clitoral orgasm” and “vaginal orgasm” aren’t actually sensible, and are also really outdated. Orgasm happens primarily in the nervous system, as well as the cardiovascular system. We feel its effects genitally, and it can be – and often is –…

Implantation bleeding is actually fairly rare. More to the point, spotting when you’re taking BCPs continuously is incredibly common. So, it’s far more likely that that is why you’re seeing the spotting. If it hasn’t happened until now, that doesn’t mean that’s not why it is happening now. In fact…

One would hope that if you really liked someone for who they were that whatever their previous sexual experience was or was not would be irrelevant. Mostly, because it really is, save that any life experiences we have are a part of who we are. So, if you like someone, part of what you like about…

It’d actually be pretty atypical for a regular period to fall on the same numeric dates for a long time. Let me explain why that is. The number of days in each calendar month is not the same: it varies from month to month. Menstrual cycles, on the other hand, when they’re regular, are a given number…

You know, if you’ve little to no interest or feelings of strong desire for the physical and sexual aspects of sex, you aren’t as likely to reap big positive emotional benefits, either. For certain, partnered sex can and often does provide emotional intimacy for people, but when the only part one…

So long as you know – not just by guessing, but via regular, complete reproductive health exams – that you’re in sound reproductive health, and so long as that abdominal pain is really only showing up after intercourse, the most likely culprit for that symptom would simply be that you’re not…
