Weird to think sex is yuk?

Q.   This will sound really stupid, so if you ant to answer more important questions first like teen pregnancy ones go ahead. I am 13. I had my first kiss at 12. I have not done anything with a boy past a short make out session. I have friends that have ...

A.   6 March 2009: Isn't anonymity fun! Anyway, at 13, not weird at all. Even with your puberty. Now if you were 18, and you hadn't had a sexual (e.g. "i just want to touch him/her") response to men or women, that would I think be unusual. We're all pretty s... (read in full...)

In terms of Personality, what is a man's turn on when he looks for a woman?

Q.   Though this may seem a little vague, what would you say is the biggest attractant for a man when it comes to the opposite sex? We know that sex is a primary need and desire, but aside from the physical part, what do most men look for or what is the ...

A.   4 March 2009: A woman's ability to confidently express a thoughtful opinion without apology or excessive self-deprecation, but also without arrogance or excessive emotion, gets my attention. I think, now this is someone I'd enjoy spending time talking and ... (read in full...)

A.   3 March 2009: male, 23 yrs old. On the one hand, wish I had more experience earlier, but in part because the experiences I had later were so good. On the other hand, I think if I had been sexually active younger, the experiences wouldn't have been nearly a... (read in full...)

I need answers... To shave or not to shave, that is the question!!!

Q.   Hi!!! I have a little doubt, its about pubic hair, I'm 15 years old and my vaginal area is really really hairy, would that be a turn off for guys??? Should I shave it, trim it, or leave it like it is? PD: I'm blonde but my pubic hair is dark bro...

A.   3 March 2009: If he is like most guys his age, he will vacillate between wanting to keep his options open (fear of commitment), pushing you away when he feels secure that he has you, and wanting not to be alone, over-committing out of fear when it looks like he ... (read in full...)

Q.   Here is my situation (sorry if it's kind of long.) I met this guy in a professional context (actually, in a job training class I assisted with teaching last year). They graduated. We got back in contact when he texted me wanting to know when the ...

A.   3 March 2009: My sense is it a request for more than friendship. It's the "if that's an option", plus asking about coffee over text. If it was just the texting, I'd probably not mention add my 2 cents here, because I'm 36 and 18-21 yr olds may have differen... (read in full...)

A.   2 March 2009: Arguing for you is the fact that the parents of a 16-year old think you're great for their daughter. That has to carry some weight. Arguing against you is the fact that you think it might be okay for a 21-year old to date a 16-year old. (Most pe... (read in full...)
