Anonymous asked: I've heard that some STDs can be transmitted even if you haven't had sex with someone who has them. I always use condoms and to my knowledge I've never been with anyone who had anything, but I'm wondering, should I get tested anyway? Also, how often should I get tested? I've heard variously that people should get tested for STDs once every 2 years, once a year or twice a...
Anonymous asked: I have a IUD and it tends to make me have a heavy flow when I get my period. So I have to change my pad or tampon almost every 2-3 hours. Would it be ok if I use a vaginal cup? Or would that get in the way of the IUD?
Anonymous asked: My ovulation calendar said my ovulation date was the 12th (Saturday.) My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex on the 8th. I am not on birth control, by the way. We also had unprotected sex three times today (the 13th). My boyfriend didn't pull out, so he did cum inside me all 3 times. What are the possibilities of me getting pregnant? I noticed on Saturday I did have creamy white discharge....

TW: Tr*nny slur
Anon: Do FtM tranny people have to still go to a gyno?
FYSE: Yes, trans* men and other DFAB (designated female at birth) gender variant people still need to see the gynecologist as they can still develop the same problems any other DFAB person goes through.
The correct word is trans gender, trans, or trans*. NEVER use the word tranny. It is a slur and used for violence against...
Anonymous asked: why are abnormal clots with periods dangerous?
Anonymous asked: For the first time gyno anon: It won't hurt, but it won't exactly be comfortable either. If anything hurts, let the doctor know! I was scared the first time, but it wasn't scary at all in the end!
Anonymous asked: I have my first gyno visit, what should I expect/should I shave down there?
Anonymous asked: Transman,14,pre-all,virgin. I have a question about periods. Every time, it's horrendously painful and heavy. The cramps are just awful and it's impossible to even move without at least a heating pad. I need 2 ibuprofen for it to stop, cramps usually last 2-3 days. It also feels like I'm in the bathroom every 20 minutes to keep from leaking for four days, after semi-heavy old blood...
Anonymous asked: Hi there! TransgenderM. So a couple of days ago I tried anal for my first time. Everything went smoothly, I used enough lube to make sure everything went okay and over all, it was a really enjoyable experience. About a day later, I tried to do it again but I couldn't get anything in very far no matter how much I relaxed or how much lube I used. It wasn't so much as pain when I tried but...

Anonymous asked: I'm CisF and recently had sex with my partner who is CisM. After sex, he used the bathroom after ejaculation and experienced a burning sensation in his urethra. He says it's fairly common for this to happen and basically needs to wait it out. Do you know what causes this, how to help ease the discomfort, and/or how to prevent it?
Anonymous asked: For the persons worried about going to a GYN (trans* and otherwise): Some doctors do a meet and greet before the appointment, and try to make you feel more comfortable. Some places have specific proceedures for people who might be uncomofortable or upset with the proceedures done during an appointment, you might be able to find a trans* friendly doctor and ask them if they have anything like...
Anonymous asked: I am an avid horse back rider and was wondering if there is a chance that riding would desensitize your clit. There have been times where I have felt very minimal pain from riding but they are never consistent, so I don't believe the act of riding itself is causing it. Regardless, I am a bit worries about it desensitizing the clit and thought I'd see what someone else thinks of this....
Anonymous asked: Hi! I did check the FAQ, but I still have questions. I'm a virgin, but I've fooled around with the same guy for several months. He's very attentive to me when he touches me, and he tries a variety of ways of touching me. I still haven't been able to orgasm, which I understand is not unusual. However, I get very close and get the "need to pee" feeling, and then it...
Anonymous asked: This isn't exactly a question but I just need to talk about it to someone who will understand. I'm dfab and I've never felt like a girl or boy. I'm familiar with the term genderneutral and I feel like this applies to me. When I get all dressed up in feminine clothes and do my hair and make up, I feel like i'm in drag - which I really enjoy. I love taking on my...
Anonymous asked: My boyfriend is having trouble keeping his erection these days. When we try to have sex, he goes soft. When I give him a blowjob or handjob he usually can keep it hard. I tried to talk to him about it, make him comfortable and things like that but it never works. Any idea on what I should do? At this point it feels like we will never have sex normally again... : (

Anonymous asked: I've heard that some DFAB people simply don't produce lubrication, no matter how aroused they are - is this true, or just a myth?
Anonymous asked: Ok I have a STUPID problem. I'm triggered. I'm in this fandom and these two character's relationship, though not alike my trigger, reminds me far too much of that time and the thought of them being 'together' has triggered me since day one so I've avoided it. It happens to be the fandom's OTP and I don't want to ruin people's fun but I also don't...
Anonymous asked: I have two questions, the first being that people describe being "wet" when they feel aroused and why that's never happened to me, and the other is how do you deal with being a trans person and having to go to the gynecologist? I feel very uncomfortable thinking about someone seeing, much less touching my body, I'm honestly afraid I'll just start crying... I understand...

Anonymous asked: Two quick questions. I got the implant two days ago and I got it while I was on my period. Question number one: My gyno told me that I needed to wait two weeks to have sex, but I have read that it's effective immediately. Which is it? Question number two: Could the hormones have stopped my bleeding by now? The day after I got it I stopped bleeding. Is this normal?

Anonymous asked: I'm pretty into like male submissiveness and femdom and stuff, but I honestly don't know if I'd ever have the confidence to be mean or controlling, even knowing it was in the context of pleasure. But part of this might kind of be because I've got this idea in my head that boys aren't supposed to want to be submissive and girls aren't supposed to want to be dominant,...
Anonymous asked: A few months ago, I had a bump on my lip. It only lasted a few days. It didn't tingle, blister up, or crust over. So I didn't think it was a cold sore (but I continued to apply abreva and Carmex when I first noticed it and some days after). I assume it was irritation? Today, my boyfriend thinks he's getting a cold sore. But he isn't sure. Not sexually active or anything. Are...
Anonymous asked: I'm underage and got a Trojan vibrator for $30 at Target (Walmart sells them too--I think a number of drugstores do). It's GREAT. And I was embarrassed about buying it too bc the checkout guy was giving me this look and then he said "have a nice night" afterward and I said "oh, I will." And I haven't regretted a bit.
Anonymous asked: For underage people looking for sex toys - you can get pre-paid debit cards in many places and I don't think their sale is age-restricted, although they are often expensive as many have a minimum on how much you can load them with. (They are, however, a lot more secure for online shopping in general - IIRC, the money is tied to a number with no personal details, so they can't be used for...
Anonymous asked: I'm a transguy, and find myself attracted to cis women. The thing is, I do find men attractive, just not cis penises, so this attraction tends to snake towards other trans men. Is this gross objectification or just a preference? I don't want to be a terrible person, thanks.

I work in a bakery, and my clothes are always full of flour, salt, etc, and mixed with sweat cause an extremely painful rash in my abdomen, just under my breasts.

Anonymous asked: My period is late by 11 days. I've been sexually active, but have used condoms every single time. I've also been through some emotional stress with my boyfriend, and also was sick - so I went to the doctors and tested positive for glandular fever.

Anonymous asked: I love my boyfriend and see a future with him. The idea of ever breaking up terrifies me, mostly because I would be devastated to lose him, but also partly because I believe in feminism and social justice and he's basically the only guy I know who actually takes me seriously.
