Introduction.

Sex is man's second strongest instinct. An instinct that is second only to the survival instinct. This means that if a man's life is not immediately imperilled, the next thing he will automatically think of is sex.

Key Sexual Organs for Both Men and Women.


The Brain



The most important sexual organ is the brain. The brain controls all of our sexual responses, releases sex hormones, and gives us the ability to create sexual fantasies. In our minds, we can recall or create sexual experiences that may generate erotically stimulating sensations in our bodies. Fantasy can allow us to experience thoughts and feelings that we may not want to or be able to live out in reality and can provide safe sexual fulfillment.



The skin

The largest sexual organ is the skin. The skin is woven with an intricate system of nerves that are responsive to changes in temperature, touch, and texture. High concentrations of nerves in the skin of particular body areas make these areas very sensitive and responsive to stimulation, thus causing sexual arousal and pleasure. These areas are called erogenous zones. Erogenous zones are unique to each individual—any part of the body can be erogenous. Common areas identified as erogenous zones include the neck, earlobes, mouth, lips, nipples, genitalia, buttocks, inner thighs, anus, backs of knees, fingers, and toes.


The breasts


The breasts For both women and men, the breasts may provide sexual pleasure. In both sexes, the nipples may be highly sensitive to stimulation. The main difference between female and male breasts is the amount of fatty tissue within the breast.
For women, the breasts provide optimal nourishment for infants. Also for women, the glandular composition of the breast is very sensitive to hormonal changes in the body consistent with the menstrual cycle. Consequently, a woman’s breasts may vary in sensitivity or tenderness from one part of the month to another, or from one cycle to another.

Sexual Intercourse

For many women, it is NOT the penis which brings on orgasm. Gentle stimulation of the clitoris is what most women like, and what brings most women to orgasm. Communication with your partner is key to finding out what makes her feel good—a little bit of patience and understanding will allow you to both get a lot of pleasure out of sex! Also listen to your partner’s needs when it comes to inserting your penis into her vagina. Making sure that she is fully aroused and mentally relaxed before attempting insertion is very important, since most woman will become lubricated and their vaginal openings will relax during arousal. Using a lubricant such as KY Liquid or Astroglide can also help ease the entry. Taking small and gradual steps towards penetration is the best way to go. Talk with your partner about what types of foreplay you both enjoy, and remember that these activities can be just as fun as (or sometimes even more fun than) intercourse itself. Here’s a technique you may want to try: Using lubrication, rub your penis between her thighs. This will not be painful to her, since there is no vaginal penetration, and it will feel good for you too! Gradually, you can experiment with very shallow penetration. Listen to her for cues about how deep to go next. Keep in mind that deep penetration with your current partner may prove to be too painful to her, as the internal female reproductive organs are very sensitive. To put this in perspective, if a man’s penis thrusts against a woman’s ovaries, it gives her a feeling equivalent to a man’s being hit in the testicles. Not a good feeling! So just remember that with good communication between you and your partner, and a little bit of imagination, sex can be fun and feel great no matter what size your penis is. Vagina- A tube that extends from the vaginal opening into the female body towards the uterus. The vaginal opening lies inside the labia minora. The vagina is about 3 to 5 inches long in an unaroused female. During sexual arousal, the vagina elongates and expands. It can accommodate any size penis during penile/vaginal sexual intercourse.

Female Genitals.

The proper name for the outer female genitals is the vulva (vuhl-vah). The vagina is only one part of these organs, and not the whole of them, and many people mistakenly call the vulva the vagina. Where your pubic hair is, below your belly button, is a fatty area of tissue (skin) called the mons (mahns). Your pubic hair will move downward, as will that fatty tissue, around your labia majora (lay-bee-ah) or "lips." If you pull your outer labia open, you will see your labia minora, or lips, which are not covered with hair, and look a bit like flower petals or two teeny-tiny tongues. The size, length and color of the inner labia will differ from woman to woman. They may be long and thick, or barely visible, and may look purple, red, pink, blackish or brown, depending on your own coloring. All of these variations are absolutely normal, as are the labia being two different sizes or shapes. The purpose of your inner labia is pretty important; they keep icky bacteria away from what is called the vestibule.

Vulva

The vulva is the outer part of a girl’s or woman’s genitals. It’s the part that people mistakenly call the “vagina.” Actually, the vagina is inside the female body. The vulva includes several areas: the clitoris, labia, vaginal opening, urethra and anal opening. The vulva may be a different color than the rest of the body, especially when a girl is sexually aroused (turned on). That’s because blood is rushing to the genitals. The colors range from purple to brown to pink to red. All of these are normal.

Clitoris

The clitoris is the only part of the human body designed primarily for sexual pleasure. This is the spot many girls rub when they masturbate, and it can also feel good to touch the clitoris during sexual activity with another person. The size and sensitivity of the clitoris varies a lot from person to person. For some girls, the clitoris is barely visible and stays tucked into the hood right above the clitoris. For other girls, the clitoris and its hood are larger and are always visible.

Labia

There are two sets of labia or "lips" - the outer labia and the inner labia. There are many variations in how the labia can look. Sometimes, the labia lie flat and close to the vulva. Sometimes they are longer and the inner or outer labia may hang a little. Sometimes their color matches the skin on a woman's thighs. Sometimes their color is very different than the skin on her thighs and can be darker or lighter or more pink, red, black or brown. All of the above is completely normal, so please don’t worry.

Vagina

The entrance to the vagina can feel slightly bumpy for some girls, and smoother for others. The first few inches inside the vagina can feel ridged like the top of a person's mouth but softer. The vagina is a strong muscle, so after it stretches to accommodate a finger, penis or baby, it goes back to its original size. The myth that girls get “looser” when they have sex is untrue.

Urethra

The opening to the urethra is very small, and can be hard to find by touch or sight. It is right above the opening to the vagina. AnusThe anus is often a different color than the rest of the body. It is usually a darker color. It can range from brown to pink, and has a puckered texture.

Hymen

The hymen is a thin piece of skin that surrounds the vaginal opening. Hymens can come in different shapes, and can be thicker or thinner than others. With puberty and increased estrogen levels, the hymen becomes more “elastic” and stretches easily. Some women break or tear their hymen when they are playing sports, riding a bicycle, inserting a tampon, masturbating or during sexual activity with a partner such as fingering or vaginal sex with a penis or dildo. It is typical to shed a little blood when the hymen tears. If the hymen is very thick, a woman may have a difficult time inserting a tampon, penis, fingers or dildo into her vagina.

Male Genitals.

External Male Genitals.

The external male genitals consist of the penis and the scrotum. The penis is a cylindrical structure with the capacity to be flaccid or erect. It is very sensitive to stimulation, and it is the organ that penetrates the vagina or anus during penetrative sex. The head of the penis, the glans (glans penis), includes the most highly innervated part of the penis and is covered by the foreskin in men who are not circumcised. The penis provides passage for both urine and semen. The scrotum is a pouch of skin hanging directly under the penis that contains the testes. The scrotum protects the testes and maintains the temperature necessary for the production of sperm by the testes.

Internal Male Genitals.

The internal male genitals are the testes, the epididymides, the vasa deferentia, the seminal vesicles, the prostate gland, and the Cowper’s glands.The testes, the paired, oval-shaped organs that produce sperm and male sex hormones, are located in the scrotum. They are highly innervated and sensitive to touch and pressure. The testes produce testosterone, which is responsible for the development of male sexual characteristics and sex drive (libido).The epididymides are the two highly coiled tubes against the posterior side of the testes where sperm mature and are stored until they are released during ejaculation. The vasa deferentia (singular, vas deferens) are the paired tubes that carry the mature sperm from the epididymides to the urethra. The seminal vesicles are a pair of glandular sacs that secrete about 60% of the fluid that makes up the semen in which sperm are transported. Seminal fluid provides nourishment for sperm. The prostate gland is a walnut-sized glandular structure that secretes about 30% of the fluid that makes up semen. The alkaline quality of the fluid neutralizes the acidic environment of the male and female reproductive tracts. A muscle at the bottom of the prostate gland keeps the sperm out of the urethra until ejaculation begins. The prostate gland is very sensitive to stimulation and can be a source of sexual pleasure for some men.Cowper’s glands are two pea-sized glands at the base of the penis under the prostate that secrete a clear alkaline fluid into the urethra during sexual arousal and before orgasm and ejaculation. These glands produce mucoid, pre-ejaculatory fluid in the urethra that acts as a lubricant for the sperm and coats the urethra as semen flows out of the penis.

Sex.

1.How do you have sex?
Answer: Having sex intercourse is actually quite simple. When a man's penis becomes hard, he places it inside a woman's vagina, and moves it in and out. This creates friction which is pleasurable for both the man and the woman. After a while, this friction will usually cause the man to have an orgasm and ejaculate. It may also cause the woman to have an orgasm, although it can take a bit of experimentation and practice to get it right!You can have sex in lots of different positions, but one of the most common and intimate ways is for the man to lie on top of the woman, so that they can kiss and cuddle while having sex.

2.What is oral sex, and how do you do it?
Answer: Oral sex is when a person uses his or her mouth to sexually stimulate the genitals of another person. Oral sex given to a man usually means sucking or licking the penis. Oral sex given to a woman usually means licking or sucking the clitoris and other parts of the vulva (female genitals). There is no "right" way to perform oral sex on a male or a female because different things are pleasurable for different people. The specifics need to be explored by each pair of people with a little creativity and a lot of honest communication. That means you have to try different things and ask your partner what he or she likes.If a male has an orgasm during oral sex, he will ejaculate semen. The semen, if swallowed, will be digested like anything else swallowed into the stomach. Most people say semen tastes salty, but it varies from one guy to the next. However, it is not a good idea to let someone ejaculate into your mouth because unprotected oral sex can transmit STDs. Always use a condom during oral sex with either a male or a female. Some people who do not want to swallow semen choose to spit it out on a towel or tissues. Other people simply move their mouth away from the end of the penis right before the male ejaculates. Spitting semen out or moving your mouth away will not protect you from STDs, however.When oral sex is performed on a woman, partners can protect each other from STDs by using a dental dam. A dental dam is a thin sheet of latex you can get at a clinic or in some drug stores and lays over a woman's genitals. Partners can also cut a condom length-wise to create a sheet of latex to use as a barrier between the person's mouth and the vulva. Using a few drops of lubrication underneath the latex can improve the sensations for the woman receiving oral sex. Oral sex can be a very pleasurable part of sexual activity and many people enjoy both giving and receiving oral sex. Two important things to remember, though. As with any sexual act, make sure both partners truly feel comfortable with the idea before engaging in it. And, some sexually transmitted diseases can be spread through oral sex, so it is important to use condoms or dental dams. Partners can also get tested to know their status.

3.What is vaginal sex?
Answer: Vaginal sex is one of many ways for a couple to give and receive pleasure. Vaginal sex is when a couple places the man's erect penis into the woman's vagina. Then both people move together to create pleasure and possibly orgasm. For couples who choose to have sex, the most effective way to avoid a pregnancy or STDs is by using both hormonal birth control, like the Pill, and a condom.

4.What is dry sex?
Answer: "Dry sex" is a term that has different meanings to different people. Some people think it means taking off all your clothes and going through the motions of sexual intercourse, thrusting and grinding and rubbing against each other's bodies without ever inserting the penis into the vagina. Other people think it means going through the motions of sexual intercourse, without ever taking your clothes off. Dry sex with clothes on can't result in a pregnancy. If the male ejaculates in his clothes, then there is no way for the sperm to get through his clothes and into the female's vagina. If there are no clothes on, however, and semen comes in contact with the opening of the vagina, then YES a PREGNANCY IS POSSIBLE. It can also be more difficult to control your desires and hormones once your clothes are off, so it can be a lot safer for both people to keep clothes on and enjoy the pleasure without the risk.

5.What is anal sex? How do you do it?
Answer: Anal sex is when one person places an erect penis, finger, or object into the anus of another person to give and receive sexual pleasure. Many people enjoy anal stimulation. Some people, though, don't like anal sex and that's normal, too.Unlike the vagina, the anus is a tighter opening that doesn't have its own lubrication. The anus also has a very strong muscle that is designed to keep things out of the rectum. That's why most people have to "prepare" the anus for intercourse by gently inserting a gloved and lubricated finger into it to train this muscle to relax. It's also a must to use lubrication on anything going into the anus to avoid tearing or irritating the lining of the anus.When inserting something into the anus, go slowly and stop if there's pain or resistance. It's best if a person empties the bowels (goes to the bathroom) before anal intercourse and washes well before and after anal sex or oral-anal contact. Bacteria in fecal matter can spread to other body areas if someone touches your anus and then other parts of your body. For example, in heterosexual sex, be very careful not touch a girl's anus, then her vagina, since this can lead to an infection. It is important to use a condom, glove, or dental dam, and wash very thoroughly. Like other forms of sex, it is possible to transmit sexually transmitted infections between partners during anal sex by sharing fluids. This means ejaculating into or onto the anus, having oral-anal contact, or inserting something into the anus, then inserting the same object into a partner's anus, vagina, or mouth. There are lots of ways to reduce the risk of getting or giving a sexually transmited infection from anal sex. For example, you can use a male condom on the penis, toys, or your finger. You can also use a female condom inside the anus. You can put a latex or non-latex glove on your hand. For oral-anal contact, you can use a Sheer Glyde Dam over the anal area.

6.Intercourse is painful for my girlfriend. What can I do?
Answer: The most common cause of painful intercourse is too little vaginal lubrication. When a woman feels sexy, the walls of her vagina respond by giving off a liquid that wets the vagina and makes it easier for the penis to enter. You may be trying to put your penis in too soon before your girlfriend has had time to become excited enough to become lubricated or "wet." If you are the one initiating sex, it may take your girlfriend time to "catch up with you" in terms of her level of arousal. Sometimes, young men are in too much of a hurry to get to intercourse. There is a lot more to the "art" of sex than that! Be sure to take your time and don't leave out foreplay (kissing and caressing).You may also need to find out more about what pleases your girlfriend (and she must understand what pleases her so she can tell you!). How does she like to be touched? What turns her on? Do you both understand the role of the clitoris in female sexual response and orgasm?If you are using a condom, you may need to add lubrication. (Don't use Vaseline, though, because it causes latex to disintegrate.)Another reason may be that your girlfriend is tense or worried (this can cause the vaginal entrance to tighten up so that getting a penis in may hurt). Perhaps she is unsure about having sex. Have you had many serious discussions with each other about having sex? Are you sure she really wants to have sexual intercourse? Is she having sex to please herself or to please you? (Having sex only to make you happy is not a good reason for her to have sex.) Or maybe she is worried about getting pregnant. If you are not protecting her from unintended pregnancy, it will be hard for her to relax and enjoy sex. Sex without birth control for a woman who does not want to become pregnant is almost NEVER a fun experience because she's spending the entire time worrying about possible consequences instead of focusing on the good sensations.Remember that sex in real life is not like sex in the movies. The way sex is shown on TV and in the movies, it makes it seem like sex is something that magically happens. In real life, even when people understand the basics of sex, there is still plenty of learning that goes on with each new pair of people. It takes time to learn what kinds of touching and what circumstances give you and another person pleasure. It also takes time and some maturity to feel comfortable talking to your partner about what you like and what feels good. Sex takes practice. And practicing at sex is really about practicing at talking, communicating and sharing.So, if you or your girlfriend are too embarrassed to talk to each other about sex, to go get some books that will help you learn more about sex, or to see a doctor to learn about how to protect yourselves from pregnancy and disease, you might want to reconsider your decision to have sex.Most of all, don't be in a hurry. There is plenty of time to get around to including intercourse in your sexual encounters. And you want it to feel great for both of you when it finally happens! So go slow!Finally, it is also important for girls to talk to their gynecologists if they are experiencing pain during intercourse. It is possible that she may have an infection or other medical conditions.

7.What exactly is an orgasm?
Answer: An orgasm, simply put, is a physical and emotional sexual release. During orgasm, your body responds with a series of both voluntary and involuntary muscle contractions (most of which are in your pelvic area, abdomen and thighs), and those contraction push blood (inside your body, you won't bleed externally) from the tissues in your pelvis. You may, upon orgasm, ejaculate, or feel a wetness in your vagina and on your thighs.Many women experience orgasm in many different ways. It may feel intense, or it may feel relaxing. You might feel a ripple of warmth through your body, or almost a tickle. Sometimes, our awareness in our mind shifts a bit; we may feel disoriented or dizzy. Not only do women experience orgasm differently from woman to woman, we all can experience any number of different experiences of orgasm ourselves depending on our level of arousal, the means we use (masturbation, intercourse, oral sex, etc.) to achieve orgasm, and out general mood and physical well-being.Unfortunately, a lot of women don't know when they've had an orgasm, or don't trust in it, because a lot of media and strange mythology surrounding orgasm has thwarted the matter. Though it is a marvelous feeling, you may not always want to scream to the heavens, and for most women, orgasm does not happen from vaginal intercourse alone. The earth doesn't always move, nor does your head feel as if it is blown off. All in all, the best way I know to know if you've had one is if you feel satisfied.A lot of women fake orgasm, feeling if they don't "come," they are ruining something for their partners, however, this is not so, ad is a bad habit to get into, as it gives your partner false cues about what is turning you on. Sex should not be for the point of getting off, but for the entire process. if it isn't, then everyone is missing out, whether they have an orgasm or not. If kissing or masturbating isn't as enjoyable on some level as intercourse, it's time to take stock. Reaching orgasm is wonderful, and in time, you'll learn how to have one, but it's a bit like eating you dinner: the point isn't to finish what's on your plate and get away from the table, it's to savor each bite, and relish giving your body what it wants and needs, at it's own pace.

8.I'm a female about to have sex for the first time. I want to know, will sex hurt? Will there be blood?
Answer: Sex shouldn't hurt, whether it is your first time or your hundredth time. And, many females don’t bleed the first time they have sexual intercourse. If there is bleeding, it's usually because the hymen tore, but even then the bleeding is usually very little. The hymen is a thin membrane that partly covers the opening of the vagina. If sex hurts, it's usually because a woman hasn't been sexually aroused enough during foreplay. When a female becomes sexually excited, the inside of her vagina releases a special lubricating fluid that makes her vagina wet, and that helps sex feel good. If she hasn’t been sexually aroused, her vagina is usually dry before a guy puts his penis into her. And that hurts.Sex also hurts when you're scared or not ready for it. Girls who are having sex for the first time tend to be nervous. They tighten their muscles and that can make sex painful. So it's important to relax. The best way to do this is with a partner who you know and trust, someone you can talk to before, during or after sex, and who's willing to go slow and make the first time more pleasurable. Be sure to take care of STD prevention and birth control first.

9.Can you get pregnant if you have sex when you have your period?
Answer: You can only get pregnant if you have sex during the time you are ovulating (the time when your body realizes an egg). Ovulation generally takes place 14 days prior to your periods. If your cycle is 28 days, ovulation would occur exactly in the middle of the cycle (a cycle begins on the first day of your menstruation to the first day of your next menstruation). Since ovulation and menstruation do not take place at the same time, it is very unlikely that you can get pregnant if you have sex during your period.


10.How do gay people have sex?
Answer: Gays, lesbians, bisexuals and straight people can give and express pleasure in many, many ways. There isn’t just one way for two people to have sex, no matter what gender or sexuality they are.What two people of the same gender do to have sex together depends on what feels good for them. Too often, people think that sex is only putting a penis into a vagina, but that may not be the activity that brings the most pleasure to the two people. This is true for heterosexuals, bisexuals and gay/lesbian people, too.Gay people can use their fingers, mouths (oral sex), and various body parts to give and receive pleasure, just like heterosexual people. Sometimes people use penises or sex toys to penetrate the vaginal or anal opening (anal sex). It is possible to transmit sexually transmitted diseases through many of these practices, so read up on safer sex here.When two people can communicate well, they can experience a huge range of sexual activities that are mutually agreed on, pleasurable, and creative. This is true whether they are straight, bisexual, or lesbian/gay.

11.How do lesbians have sex? Do lesbians need to practice safer sex?
Answer: Lesbians, bisexuals, and any girls who are sexual with other girls can give and express pleasure in many, many ways. Just like there is no one "right" way for heterosexuals to have sex, there is no one "right" way for lesbians to have sex. What two girls do to have sex depends on what feels good for them. Too often, heterosexuals think that the only way to have sex is to put a penis into a vagina, but that may not be the activity that brings the most pleasure to the two people. Lesbians, bisexuals, and other girls touch each others' bodies by using their fingers, mouths (oral sex), and various body parts. Sometimes two girls kiss, touch each others' breasts, and touch the clitoris and other sensitive areas around the outside or inside of the vagina or anus with their fingers or sex toys. Sometimes they use their fingers or sex toys to penetrate the vaginal or anal opening (anal sex). Many girls also rub their vulvas against each other; this is called "tribadism." It is possible to transmit sexually transmitted infections through many of these practices, so read up on safer sex here.When two people can communicate well, whether they are straight, bi, or gay, they can experience a huge range of sexual activities that are mutually agreed on, pleasureful, and creative.


12.Is there any way of finding out whether a girl is a virgin or not without going to the doctors?
Answer: The only true way of knowing if a girl is a virgin is to ask her. Many cultures believe that a girl is only a virgin if she still has an intact hymen. The hymen is a thin membrane of skin that partially covers the entrance to the vagina. This membrane can bleed when it is torn as a man's penis enters the vagina. Some cultures therefore believe that blood on the sheets on a woman's wedding night is the only proof that a girl was a virgin. Neither the presence of the hymen nor bleeding during intercourse can truly indicate virginity however. Some girls are born without hymens, others will have hymens that stretch and don't break during sex, and some will have torn their hymens during sport, inserting tampons, masturbation or even riding a horse.

13.How often do people have sex?
Answer: Sexual appetite is entirely a matter of personal taste. Some people have sex once a day and others once a month. It probably varies for most people depending on whether they are in a relationship, how busy they are and how they feel. Most people think about sex far more often than they do it.

14.Is there a way of stopping premature ejaculation?
Answer: Many men find the best way to prevent premature ejaculation is to think about something dull to regain control over their time of ejaculation. When first starting a sexual relationship, some men find that the sexual excitement causes them to ejaculate before intercourse has even begun. With time most men learn how to control this. Wearing a condom can help as it can reduce sensitivity a little. Condoms containing a mild anaesthetic in the tip are also available in some countries to help further reduce sensation and delay ejaculation.

15.Does sexual intercourse hurt? Is there a need for lubrication?
Answer: Sex can sometimes be painful for a woman if she is nervous or tense. Stress and fear can mean a woman does not get sexually excited enough to produce natural lubrication, or that she involuntarily tenses her vaginal muscles, making penetration difficult. Sex can also hurt the first time a woman does it as their hymen may be torn. If sexual intercourse is painful, using a lubricant can help to make it more comfortable. When using a condom it is important that a water-based lubricant (such as KY Jelly) is used, as oil based lubricants (such as Vaseline or hand cream) can cause the condom to rot and fall apart. Ensuring that the woman is as relaxed as possible, and that intercourse is initiated slowly, can also help to make things more comfortable.Sex is not usually painful for a man (unless the penis is bent into an awkward position) so he should check with his doctor if he experiences any pain during erection or intercourse.

16.If a woman experiences problems reaching orgasm with her boyfriend can she do anything about it?
Answer: It is not always possible to achieve orgasm through vaginal penetration alone; it often needs more direct stimulation of the clitoris, which you could request from your boyfriend orally or manually, before, after, during or instead of intercourse. Talking to your boyfriend and exploring what stimulates you and what doesn't should make you able to achieve orgasm during sex.

17.Is receiving oral sex with a condom safe?
Answer: As long as they are used properly i.e. they don't split or burst, condoms can be very effective in protecting against STDs when giving oral sex to a man. When giving oral sex to a woman a thin square of latex called a dental dam can also be used to protect against possible transmission of any existing STDs. Flavoured condoms and dental dams are available to make using them more pleasant during oral sex.

18.Do you need to use condoms during anal sex?
Answer: Yes, it is important to use condoms when having anal sex to reduce the risk of passing on or contracting a STD. If two people are considering having anal sex they should think about using extra strong condoms and a water-based lubricant such as KY Jelly.

19.Is it safe to have sex when a woman is having her period?
Answer: Not all women feel comfortable having sex when they are menstruating, and some men dislike the idea of blood being present during sexual intercourse, but there is generally nothing wrong with having sex during a woman's period and it will not cause either partner any harm. This said, it is worth remembering that HIV and a few other sexually transmitted infections may be passed on more easily during a woman's period (both from the woman to the man and from the man to the woman), so a condom should always be used if there is any doubt over either partner's sexual history and HIV status. HIV cannot be 'created' by having sex with a woman on her period if both partners are HIV negative however - it is only ever passed from one person to another.

20.How do sperm and an egg meet? - Sexual intercourse
Answer: Sperm and an egg can meet when a boy and a girl have sexual intercourse. Sexual intercourse is when a boy's hard penis goes inside a girl's vagina, and he then ejaculates sperm through his penis.A boy is physically able to become a parent when he first starts to ejaculate sperm. A girl is physically able to become a parent when her ovaries start to produce eggs.

21.What are the main physical signs of sexual feelings?
Answer: The main sign for boys that they are getting sexually excited is when they get erections. The main sign for girls is when their vagina begins to get moist. The clitoris gets bigger too. For both boys and girls when they are sexually excited or "turned on", extra blood comes to the surface of the skin, particularly around the penis and vagina. You can feel warm and sensitive and sexy just about anywhere on your body.

22.Does sexual intercourse hurt the first time?
Answer: First time sex can be painful, as the penis entering the vagina can stretch or tear the hymen (the thin layer of skin that partially covers the entrance to the vagina). Not all girls have hymens (they may have been born without one or may have broken it through sport or inserting tampons earlier in life) but if they do and it tears, a girl may bleed a little. She may also find this bleeding continues the next few times she has sex, although once the tear has healed, she shouldn't have any further problems.Being nervous and tense the first time can mean a girl does not produce enough natural lubrication to allow easy penetration. Nerves can also cause the muscles in a girl's vagina to tense up, making penetration difficult. Both of these problems can make sex more painful.

24.Is there anything I can do to reduce the pain the first time I have sex?
Answer: The most important thing you can do to reduce the pain is to relax. Being relaxed, and absolutely sure you're doing the right thing means you're less likely to involuntarily tighten your vaginal muscles, and more likely to produce natural vaginal lubrication. You could also try using a lubricant, as this will make penetration easier. However if you are using condoms, you must use a water-based lubricant such as KY Jelly (available from most supermarkets and chemists). An oil-based lubricant like Vaseline will cause the latex of the condom to disintegrate.

25.Is there a "safe time" to have sexual intercourse?
Answer: There is no safe time to have unprotected sex if you wish to avoid pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted Diseases. STDs can be transmitted whenever an infected person has sex with an uninfected person, and pregnancy is always a possibility, even during a girl's period. Although women are generally only fertile for a few days every month (usually around the middle of the menstrual cycle) most women have no definite way of knowing when this is. Sperm can also survive inside the body for several days, meaning a woman can potentially become pregnant over quite a long period of time. If she has irregular periods, "safe" days can be particularly difficult to predict. Some couples do use the so called 'rhythm' method as a form of contraception, but the success rate is not high, and it also offers no protection from STDs.

26.Can a girl still get pregnant if a boy pulls out before he ejaculates?
Answer: If a boy pulls his penis out before he ejaculates, the girl can still become pregnant. Sperm can be present in pre-cum (the lubricating fluid that leaks from the penis before and during sex) and just a small amount in or around the vagina can be enough to make a woman pregnant.

27.How does a woman become pregnant?
Answer: A woman usually becomes pregnant after having sexual intercourse. This is where a man puts his erect penis inside a woman's vagina. The friction caused by moving his penis in and out of her vagina will cause him to get increasingly excited until eventually he ejaculates (or 'comes') and releases a sticky white substance called semen. This semen contains millions of tiny sperm cells, which then swim up the woman's vagina, into her uterus (womb) and then into her fallopian tubes where they may join with the tiny egg that she releases from one of her ovaries every month. If this 'joining' (also known as fertilisation or conception) occurs, then she will become pregnant.

28.I'm not sure I am ready to have sex yet.
Answer: It is really important not to be pressurised into having sex when you really don't want to. Just because your friends say that they are doing it doesn't mean they actually are. There is no 'right' age to start having sex. What is important is choosing a time that is right for you. There are many ways in which you can give and receive sexual pleasure without having sexual intercourse.Thinking through all the implications of having sex can be a useful way of helping you arrive at a decision. There are lots of reasons why people don't want to have sex. Being pushed into having sex when you don't want to could mean you might regret it later on.Although it can be hard to say what you want, it is also important to talk to your partner before you sleep together for the first time. As a rule, if you can't talk about sex, then you're not ready to have it yet. Try and be open about how you're feeling. Talking to each other will increase your confidence and reassure you that you both care about each other and are looking after each other's feelings. Also, it gives you the opportunity to talk about things that you might be worried about. Remember, even if you feel ready for sex, your partner might not, so always give them the chance to be honest with you.

29.What counts as 'sex'?
Answer: This, too, is different, depending on the laws in the place where you live. Some places count things like kissing as sexual contact, and other places only count sexual intercourse.

30.What is statutory rape?
Answer: Statutory rape is the crime that someone can be charged with if they have sex with a person who has not reached the age of consent but who agrees to have sex. Some countries have different names for this. Some states in the US for example call it 'unlawful sexual penetration' or just 'rape'.

31.Is oral sex is common practice?
Answer: Many studies have shown that oral sex is practised by men and women of all ages, both gay and straight. It is a very common practice and may be performed on its own, or before or after sexual intercourse.

32.Is oral sex safe?
Answer: A number of studies have demonstrated that oral sex is not necessarily safe sex. Both giving and receiving oral sex can lead to the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (also known as STIs or STDs).

Faq's on Mastarbation.

1. Can mastarbation be harmful to health?
Answer: Masturbation is not bad for you physically, sexually or emotionally -- unless it is something you simply do not WANT to be doing -- and can be, in fact, good for you. It has been almost twenty years since the American Medical Association declared masturbation a normal and healthy sexual activity, and even then, it was long overdue.
Masturbation will not, and cannot make you go blind or give you poor eyesight. I cannot find the original source of this blatant untruth, but we can probably assume that it was based in the correlation between puberty and the general age at which those with poor eyesight find out they need glasses. Masturbation will not, and cannot give you acne any more than any OTHER activity or phase of your life in which you have hormonal fluctuations might give you acne. In fact, almost any sexual activity improves your circulation by raising your heart rate, which is good for your skin and the rest of your body. Masturbation will not, and cannot make the genitals shrink or grow, and a doctor cannot tell if someone has masturbated unless they arrive at the office with ejaculate on one hand and a vibrator in the other. Masturbation will not, and cannot make hair grow on your palms. On the Planet of the Apes, it just might, but not here on Earth. Masturbation will not, and cannot make men or women infertile, or decrease sperm or egg count. It also does not make anyone "lose" their virginity, not "spoil" them for intercourse or other sexual acts. People are not cartons of milk. We cannot spoil or be "ruined." We change and grow, and as long as we act like good people in good conscience, no act or person can make us otherwise. Plenty of scholars and religious leaders agree, Judeo-Christian and otherwise, that masturbation is not a sin, for those whose religions include the concept of sin (and many do not). There is really nothing concrete in the Bible to support this idea; it does not say masturbation is a sin in anything but a very vague sense that is highly open to interpretation. In addition, in very few religions and traditions is it considered any sort of problem at all. There are, of course, exceptions. In some Islamic traditions, if fasting, masturbating will break a fast, and in some other cultures, like Indonesia, it is considered criminal. Bear in mind, though, that some of these beliefs are very archaic, and are not based on current scientific and medical knowledge, but became tradition when this practice (and many others) were not understood.

2.Who Masturbates?
Answer: Most people will recognize that a lot of men masturbate, but many do not acknowledge that just as many women do. However, that is yet another misconception. According to Susan Quilliam in her study, Women on Sex, 29.1 of women do so at least once weekly, only 1.8% masturbate without clitoral stimulation and 95% ALWAYS orgasm when masturbate (and in comparison, 77.3 can orgasm from oral sex, and 79.2 during intercourse, but cannot always). In her study, 95% of women she surveyed masturbated. For those of you who have asked me how to have an orgasm and have wondered why I said, "Masturbate!" now you know why. It's how most women and men learn how, and it's the best way to do so.

3.Only losers masturbate . . . right?
Answer: Another false assumption is that people who masturbate do so because they are sexually desperate, or are just plain losers. However, bear in mind that in general, a sexually satisfied person -- and most people who are happily masturbating are -- is not a loser. In fact, many people who masturbate regularly are often better sex partners when they are having sex with others, and do not shack up with the first person available because they are dying to get sexually satisfied and just don't know how to do it themselves. There is nothing superior about sleeping with someone you wouldn't otherwise sleep with because you feel masturbating is beneath you. The guy who shows up for five minutes just to sleep with you then leaves without a good-bye, or the girl you get in bed with who you'd never date publicly is hardly the mark of a "superior" choice. And to be frank, masturbation, as a practice when what you want is ONLY sexual satisfaction, is probably a better and kinder choice than sexual partnership.
3.How do I masturbate?We get asked this A LOT. But the truth is, like just about anything in sex, people do what they do not based on any one formula or method, but based on their mood, their means, and their on individual psychological, emotional and physiological makeup. So, while for one man, rubbing his penis briskly in his lotion-covered palms may get him off, another may instead enjoy a long soak in the tub followed by a slow and gentle massage. The same goes with women. Some women like vibrators, but others prefer their own hands or water. We all have different emotional and psychological needs, and those can change by the moment. Someone who one day is aroused by the fantasy of a romantic and gentle lover may the next day fantasize about being brutally raped, and both of these things are okay as fantasies. They're your fantasies, not your actions, and to think is NOT to do. The same goes with physical needs. While we all may have genitals that are called the same thing and look similar, our levels and areas of sensitivity can vary as much as snowflakes do. So, neither I, nor anyone else, can tell you how to masturbate, because only you can experience what touch feels like in your body.

4.I was curious about how normal it is for girls to masturbate, and how many do?
Answer: It is absolutely normal for both genders to masturbate. We've all done it on one level or another even as babies and children, though we may not remember. In general, most boys seem to start masturbating regularly earlier than most girls, but on the whole, about 98% of men have or do masturbate, and about 95% of women have masturbated or currently do.

5.I recently tried masturbating, and inserting the fingers in my vagina wasn't comfortable at all, so then I tried something else, I put my hand between legs and pulled my hand upwards while my legs were wrapped tight. Is this a form of masturbation?
Answer: ANYTHING that you do with your genitals yourself for the purpose of sexual pleasure is considered masturbation. Most women, according to studies and general information, don't masturbate regularly with vaginal insertion, but instead by manipulating the clitoris and surrounding areas of the vulva. Like most sex, there aren't rules that govern masturbation: whatever feels best to you is what you should do.

6.If you masturbate close to the time your period is suppose to come, can your period be late?
Answer: Not really. In fact, because orgasm brings on contractions in your pelvic area, it's more common that it might bring on your period if it's about that time. If you masturbated and your period is late, it's a coincidence.


7. I am a Virgin and I want to know how to explore my self properly. I want to know how to masterbate. When I watch movies, they makes me sooo Horny I wanna know what it feels like I know nothing about sex or my clitoris. When my friends talk about it, and ask me how do I like it? I end up lying. They use words that I never heard before and I don't even know what they mean?
Answer: Learning to masturbate is just like learning to do anything else with your body. No one else can tell you how to walk or how to run, you just have to pick up your feet and give it a go.
Check out our map of your anatomy and get to know your body a bit. Then explore! Use your hands and fingers, or as many women do at first, running water or a shower head, to touch different parts of your vulva and find out what you like best.

8.How do You masturbate?
Answer: Men usually masturbate by grasping the penis and moving their hand up and down rapidly until they ejaculate (come/cum). Women rub their clitoris and vulva and may move one or several fingers up and down inside their vagina until they orgasm. Everybody has their own way of masturbating that feels good for them.

9.I know guys masturbate, but what about girls? Can it hurt you?
Answer: It's absolutely true that many girls masturbate. Whether you're a girl or a guy, masturbation is natural and normal. In fact, most people do it. Surveys show that 80 percent of males and 59 percent of females have masturbated by age 18. That means, it's normal if you do, and it's normal if you don't.Will it hurt you? Not if you believe in science. No credible studies have shown that masturbation can cause you any physical harm. It definitely does not stunt your growth, cause hair to sprout on your hands, deform your genitalia, or any of those other outrageous myths you might have heard. Even your doctor won't be able to tell if you've ever masturbated! So, stop worrying.In your early teen years, your body changes. Hormones make you feel tension in your vulva and vagina. This tension builds and you can feel really uncomfortable until you find a way to release it. Masturbation is one way to do that.Masturbation is also a good way to get used to your body and your sexual feelings without the complications that can come when you have sex or do sexual things with someone else.When girls masturbate, they sometimes put objects (for example, a dildo) in their vagina, or put something that vibrates on their clitoris. If you want to masturbate like that, just be sure that this object is very clean and smooth. You can wash it with antibacterial soap and warm water, or use a new condom each time.You have to be careful if you like to put objects in your anus too. If you do, make sure that the object has a wide, flared base that prevents it from slipping into your anus. You will most likely need medical assistance to remove an object if it slips past your sphincter muscle that rings your anal opening. It is also best to use a new condom on this object each time you use it, to keep it completely free of bacteria.Some girls also like to use water to masturbate. If you want to masturbate like that, be sure to put the water only on your vulva (the external part of your genitals) and not inside your vagina (the internal part of your genitals). Pressing water into your vagina can force air inside you, which isn't good for your vaginal health.

10.Can masturbating be harmful to your health?
Answer: Not if you believe science. No credible studies have shown that masturbation can cause you any physical harm. It definitely DOES NOT stunt your growth, cause hair to sprout on your hands or any of those other outrageous myths you might have heard. So stop worrying.Masturbation is natural and normal. Most people do it. Surveys show that 80 percent of males and 59 percent of females have masturbated by age 18.In your early teen years, your body changes. Hormones make you feel tension in your penis or vagina. This tension builds and you can feel really uncomfortable until you find a way to release it. Masturbation is one way to do that.It's also a good way to get used to your body and your sexual feelings without the complications that sometimes come when you have sex or do sexual things with someone else.

11.Will masturbating a lot make a guy’s sperm less potent?
Answer: No. The male body makes new sperm all the time, so masturbating often does not mean he’ll be all out of sperm and unable to start a pregnancy. That means that masturbation is definitely NOT a form of birth control.But, if a guy ejaculates more than once a day, the amount of semen might be less, so there’s fewer sperm swimming around. It can take a few days of not ejaculating to get a full supply of sperm. (But remember, it only takes one sperm and one egg hooking up to start a pregnancy).

12. Does masturbating every day decrease fertility or cause any other health problems?
Answer: Masturbation is generally not physically harmful. Frequent masturbation does not reduce your sperm count nor does it affect your ability to achieve an erection. Younger men may be able to get an erection and ejaculate every day. But as men get older, their ability to achieve daily erections may decline. This is a factor of age and has nothing to do with the frequency of masturbation. Also, there is no evidence that masturbation frequency affects a man's ability to produce sperm.

Faq's on Women's Health.

1.Is it normal to be irregular when you first get your period?
Answer: Totally normal. You might skip a month. Then have a longer or shorter period. Then you might go back to a normal period. You get the picture. This process is important, though, because your body is learning to settle into a regular menstrual cycle. In a few months, your body should figure out which cycle is best for you. That might mean a period every 20 days, 28 days, 34 days, or something in between. Some girls have irregular periods their whole lives. But if the bleeding doesn’t become more regular, see a doctor, especially if you’re sexually active.

2.What are common menstrual problems?
Answer: During the menstrual cycle, sometimes the uterus contracts to help push the blood and tissue from your body. These contractions can cause the menstrual cramps you might feel during your period. They hurt. You can ease them by taking medicine, like Midol or Motrin, available in drugstores and supermarkets, or by doing yoga and relaxation exercises. It’s uncommon for cramps to be so bad that you have to spend the day in bed. If that happens, see a doctor. Another warning. Some girls feel cranky, tired, moody, bloated, achy, and irritable the week before their period begins. There is a name for this. It is called Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). Some are lucky and have little or very mild symptoms. Others have a tough time functioning when PMS strikes. Again, if it’s that bad, talk to your health care provider.

3.I’m afraid that my vagina is too smelly to have oral sex. What should I do?
Answer: This is something plenty of girls and women worry about it, but usually it’s not a problem. If you’re healthy and take regular showers or baths, then your normal scent and taste is probably a turn-on to your partner. If not, then you can skip the oral sex and find other ways to give and receive pleasure.

4.When does puberty happen and what changes?
Answer: Sometime between ages 9 and 13, most girls go through puberty, a process that, in essence, changes your body from a child to an adult. Both boys and girls go through puberty.For girls, “breast budding” is usually the first sign that they’ve entered this exciting, but sometimes scary time. You’ll notice slight changes in the size and shape of your breasts as they begin to grow. Mood swings might follow. You might feel happy one second, sad and angry the next – without having any idea why you’re feeling that way. Blame the hormones. They’re surging through your body and making you feel a little crazy sometimes. It’s normal. Hang in there. It’ll pass.You can also blame the hormones for changes in the sweat and oil glands, which makes for blemishes and body odor. (Enter deodorant.) Hair will also begin to grow under your arms and around your vulva. The hair on your legs will become more coarse and dark. And your body will become more womanly,” with wider hips and larger breasts.Inside, the uterus, cervix, and ovaries are growing and maturing, too. Usually sometime in the middle of puberty, girls get their first menstrual period. While most adult women have a period about once a month, most girls have irregular periods during the first year or two of their menstrual cycles. Some women will always have irregular periods.

5.I have a smell and slight discharge coming out of my vagina. What is it, and is it normal?
Answer: First, it is totally normal. The vagina is a very clean part of a girl’s body. Each day, the vagina produces a clear discharge that helps cleanse it and flush out any harmful dirt or bacteria. In a way, it sort of washes itself out. Every girl has a scent and vaginal discharge, which she might notice on her underwear or on toilet paper.But scents and types of discharge differ from girl to girl. This scent can become stronger during certain times in the menstrual cycle or during sexual intercourse, but most of the time it’s slight. The discharge also changes throughout your cycle. Sometimes the discharge is thick, white, or pasty when you’re ovulating. It can also be clear and slippery you’re sexually aroused. This “wetness” or “lubrication” is designed to help anything inserted into the vagina go in more smoothly and easily. Again, it’s perfectly normal.Unfortunately, some people do think vaginas smell "bad" or "gross." But a female’s vaginal scent is a part of her. It’s anything but bad. Many douches and other feminine hygiene products on the market claim to “freshen up” the vagina. Steer clear of these products, since they contain chemicals that can irritate the vagina and make infection more likely. Manufacturers of these products want girls to think that the normal, healthy vaginal scent is actually dirty or bad. But this scent is normal and natural for girls who bathe regularly and are in good health.To keep the vagina smelling health and fine, wash the vulva daily with mild soap and warm water, and wear clean underwear (cotton is best because it breathes). For better vaginal health, you can also eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and drink a lot of water.It's real important to know your "normal" vaginal scent, so you can tell if something is different. If you notice your vaginal odor getting stronger, notice changes in discharges, or feel itching or soreness, you might have a yeast infection or other type of problem.

6.What is bacterial vaginosis?
Answer: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal infection in women and is sometimes accompanied by discharge, odor, pain or burning. The discharge might have a fishy odor and look white or grey in color. BV develops when there is an imbalance in the bacteria normally found in the vagina, sometimes triggered by sexual intercourse. It can cause serious complications during pregnancy and is generally cured by taking antibiotics. Being sexually intimate with another person can trigger this infection in a female, but it is generally not considered to be passable from one partner to another.

7.What are yeast infections or thrush? How do you get rid of them?
Answer: Every woman has yeast organisms in her vagina naturally. But sometimes, yeast grows too much and causes an infection. This can happen for different reasons. Sometimes, antibiotics--medicine taken for infections--can actually cause a yeast infection (also known as thrush). That's because some antibiotics kill the "good" bacteria that keep other yeast from growing too much. Changes in your hormone levels--either from pregnancy or taking birth control pills--can also start yeast infections. Diabetes, which allows too much sugar in the urine and vagina, can also be a cause. And a girl can get a yeast infection if her vulva is damp from staying in a wet bathing suit or exercise clothes for a long time.Some girls get yeast infections more than others. To reduce the chances of getting one, avoid wearing tight pants, non-cotton underwear, and staying in wet clothes (a bathing suit or sweaty exercise clothes) for too long.Usually, the first symptom of a yeast infection is redness and itching around the vulva and inside the vagina. There can also be white, thick, clumpy discharge that looks like cottage cheese. The vulva can be sore, too, or it may hurt to pee.If you think you have a yeast infection, see your doctor or health care provider. These infections are usually treated with antifungal creams or suppositories (medicine inserted into the vagina). This medicine can be bought without a prescription at most drugstores or supermarkets. Avoid having sex during a yeast infection, since it can affect your partner's body and the medicine can weaken latex. Often, if you have a yeast infection, your partner also has it (male or female partners). They will also need to be treated so that you don't pass it back and forth to each other. If your partner has given you oral sex when you have a yeast infection, it is possible for them to develop yeast in their mouth, called thrush. This is also easily treatable. If you keep getting yeast infections, it could be a sign of more serious problems, including HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Talk to your doctor or health care provider.

8.What is a vulva?
Answer:The vulva is the area between a female’s legs. It includes the two folds of skin called the labia, the clitoris, and three openings – the urethra, the vagina, and the anus. The urethra is a small hole at the top of the vulva. This is where females urinate. The second opening is the vagina, the largest of the three. It’s the place where a man puts his penis during vaginal intercourse, where a woman is fingered or other sex objects are inserted for sexual pleasure. Also, menstrual blood and babies come out of the vagina. The vagina is an incredibly elastic muscle that can stretch wide enough to allow a baby to pass through. The anus is the third opening. It’s located between a girl’s buttocks. It’s where feces leaves the body. Some people enjoy placing a penis or other object into the anus for pleasure.

9.What is the clitoris and what does it do? Is it the same as the G-spot?
Answer: The clitoris is a small bundle of nerve endings, located in the vulva near the urethra. The only function of the clitoris is to provide pleasure. Think of it as the orgasm button. Most women need to have their clitoris touched or rubbed in order to have an orgasm. The G-spot is totally different. About the size of a quarter, this famous pleasure spot is located on the top wall inside the vagina. The G-spot has a different texture than other areas inside the vagina. Some say that rubbing this spot gives them an orgasm. These orgasms sometimes deliver an ejaculation. That is, some girls come, spraying a fluid out of the urethra – not urine – during orgasm. Not every woman likes G-spot stimulation and many don’t ejaculate. Some women never experience orgasm this way.

10.What is the female G-Spot, and how do I find it?
Answer: The G-Spot is an area inside a woman's vagina. When the G-Spot is pressed, this touch stimulates a small system of glands and nerves lying on the other side of the vaginal wall. The only known function of the G-Spot is to produce pleasure.Imagine that when you put your fingers inside a woman there is a clock inside: pressing toward her pelvic bone is 12:00, pressing down toward her anus is 6:00. The G-Spot on most women is at 12:00. It is only about an inch inside the entrance to the vagina, and the skin feels soft and uneven, like a sponge. The tissue usually swells a little during intense stimulation.Some say that rubbing this spot feels really good and may also give them an orgasm or ejaculation, or both. That is, when some women feel sexually excited, they spray a fluid out of the urethra--not urine--during orgasm. Not every woman likes G-Spot stimulation and many women don't ejaculate. Some women never experience orgasm this way.This is a great opportunity for communication with your partner. Since each woman likes to be touched in a different way, this is a chance to talk about what exactly feels good, such as the place you are touching, the pressure, and the length of time. Most people would agree that communication is the gateway to pleasurable sexual experiences.

11.What is the urethra?
Answer: The urethra is a tube that carries urine (girls and guys) and semen (only guys) from inside the body to the outside. Both guys and girls have urethras. It is easier to see on guys because it is visible at the end of the penis. A girls' urethra is usually hidden from view by her labia (vaginal lips). For guys, the urethra is inside the penis and allows semen (cum) and urine to leave the body. When a guy is sexually excited and gets an erection, a valve shuts off the passageway between the bladder, where urine is stored, and the urethra. This makes it impossible for a guy to urinate (pee) and ejaculate at the same time. When a guy gets an erection, a gland inside the scrotum releases a fluid that comes out of the tip of the penis. This clear, sticky stuff is called pre-ejaculatory fluid. Pre-cum cleans out the inside of the urethra.The fluid makes the urethra less acidic and gives the sperm a better shot at surviving the trip from the male's testicles into the female's body, in search of an egg. Pre-cum fluid does not usually contain sperm. But if live sperm are inside a guy's urethra (because he ejaculated recently), the pre-cum can "pick up" the leftover sperm on its way through the urethra and out of the penis. If a guy pees after he ejaculates, that would kill leftover sperm. Pre-cum can carry sexually transmitted diseases, though, so a guy who's about to have intercourse should put on a condom as soon as he gets an erection.

12.I’m a girl and sometimes I worry about the way I look “down there.” How do I know if I’m normal?
Answer: Lots of women wonder about this, especially since vulvas and vaginas are "hidden parts" of the human body. Think about it. Since women do not walk around showing their vulvas to each other, there is no way to compare your vulva or vagina to other women. But even if you could, you would find that vulvas and vaginas are all very different and there is no such thing as “normal.” Like your smile, your eyes, your hands or any other part of your body, your genitals are unique to you.

13.What products should I use during my period?
Answer: During your period, you typically release about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of fluid. Doesn’t sound like much, but it definitely calls for some protection.You have two basic choices: sanitary pads or tampons, both commonly available in drugstores and supermarkets. Pads come in a lot of different shapes and sizes – maxi pads for heavy days, minipads for light ones. They’re backed with adhesive that attaches the pads to your underwear to absorb the fluid. Tampons also come in various sizes – regular, medium, super – and are designed for different flows. They’re inserted inside the vagina and are a good choice if you’re going swimming or just don’t want to wear a pad.Tampons must be changed every four to six hours to prevent the possibility of an illness called toxic shock syndrome (TSS). Wearing tampons (especially the super absorbent kind when your flow is normal) for a long time traps bacteria inside your vagina and can cause TSS. Symptoms include fever, nausea, vomiting, severe diarrhea, headache, dizziness, sore throat and a rash or peeling skin on your hands and feet. It is rare and can be treated with antibiotics if caught early enough. An alternative to tampons are products such as Instead and the Diva Cup. They are pretty new on the market and some women love them. Avoid scented menstrual products and douching. They can irritate the vagina and really aren’t necessary.

14.What happens during menstruation?
Answer: Menstruation is one part of the female cycle that occurs each month. The cycle starts with ovulation. Your ovaries are located up inside your abdomen. They contain all the eggs (ova) you’ll ever have that could become fertilized by a male’s sperm. Each month, an egg (ovum) matures and pops out of one of the two ovaries. This is called ovulation. Females usually start ovulating during puberty. The egg travels from your ovary, through the fallopian tubes, and toward your uterus. As the egg travels, it sends a signal to your body to develop a thick lining of blood and tissue inside the uterus. The job of this lining is to help the egg attach to your uterus, should it meet up with a sperm and become fertilized. If this happens, the egg latches on to the thick lining of tissue and blood, and a pregnancy begins.Now, if there’s no fertilization, there’s no pregnancy and no need for that thick lining to nourish a pregnancy. The egg dies and the uterus releases the blood and tissue. That lining is your period. The blood and tissue usually leave your body slowly over five to seven days.Ovulation occurs about 14 days before you begin bleeding or menstruating, which is when a woman is most likely to get pregnant. Eggs only live about 24 to 36 hours. But ovulation can be unpredictable, so it’s important to use birth control any time you decide to have sexual intercourse, no matter what time of month.

15.Should I shave my pubic hair?
Answer: It’s really a personal choice. Truth is, most women don’t shave their pubic hair, but some do. Pubic hair does serve a purpose. It provides warmth and padding, and traps dirt and germs that can get inside and cause an infection. When people shave their pubic hair, they usually itch while the hair grows back. This sensitive skin area can also become irritated and sore without hair covering it. If you do decide to shave, use a new, clean razor and lots of soap or shaving cream. Shave in the direction of the hair growth. Then put on some lotion or powder to stave off itching and irritation.

16.Breasts: What's their purpose?
Answer: The breasts are wonderfully versatile body parts. They’re built to be a baby’s first source of nutrition. And they’re also part of your sexuality, a sensitive area that, when touched, can give pleasure. Breasts come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors – all beautiful in their own way. (So, stop worrying about how your breasts compare to others!) Even though breasts may look different, they all have pretty much the same parts. The light pink to dark brown circle in the center of each breast is called the areola. The smaller part inside the areola is the nipple. Some women also have smaller bumps in the areola, and some have hair growing out of the areola, and that is normal. Some women have very large areolas and some women have very small areolas. Some women have nipples that stick out, and others have ones that never surface. Some breasts are round and others are long.Breasts play a dual role. Inside, breasts are made up of fatty tissue and milk ducts. When a mother decides to breast feed, her baby receives not only nutrition but also protective antibodies from her breast milk. Not all women decide to breast feed, but doctors say it gives infants the best form of nutrition.Breasts are also sexual. When they’re touched, the nipples often fill with blood and become firm. This can happen when a woman is sexually excited, and when she’s cold. Some women say they like their breasts to be touched sexually. But others say they’d just as soon skip that type of touching.While you may not need to worry about breast cancer now, it is something you should know about. You should know what your breasts feel like so if there are any changes – like a lump developing – you know it sooner rather than later. That’s why doctors recommend women do a breast self-exam at least once a month. The best time to do an exam is right after your period ends. You use your fingertips to gently feel your breasts and under your arms to check for any lumps or swellings.

17.Does my vagina look the way it should?
Answer:Vaginas come in all different shapes and sizes, just as other parts of the body do, so there is no set way that a vagina should look. A woman's sex organs are protected by two thick folds of skin or "lips" called the outer labia. Inside these is another set of lips known as the inner labia. These are thinner than the outer labia and are usually slightly different lengths. In some women the inner labia will stick out below the outer labia. In other women it will be the other way round. Women also have a clitoris, which is a small sensitive bump a little way above the urethra (urine hole) and the entrance to the vagina.

Faq's on Men's Health.

1.Is my penis too large?
I am concerned that my penis is abnormally large. It is about 9.5 inches long and about 6.5 inches in circumference at the middle. It has gotten both longer and thicker since two years ago. I have a girlfriend and I have not been able to have sex successfully because of it. I am a little worried about what a girl will think when she sees me the first time, and I worry that we won’t be able to “just have regular sex.” I want to know if anyone else has this problem, how unusual this is, and what I can do?
Answer: Don’t ever forget that a good sexual relationship does not depend on the size or shape of your penis. There are plenty of ways to have an amazing sexual relationship that pleases both yourself and your partner that work great for a man with any penis size.To answer your question about where your penis falls in terms of average penis size, Although you do not fall within the average range of 5-7 inches, this does not mean that you have a medical problem or have to have relationship problems. This statement also holds for you having a penile circumference outside the average 4.84 inches in girth. You’re simply bigger than average, and this need not cause you any problems.

2.What's a penis and what does it do?
Answer: The penis is the male reproductive and sexual organ. The head is loaded with nerve endings, which is what makes sex feel good. When the spongy tissue of the penis fills with blood, the penis becomes hard. That is called an erection.Inside the penis is a tube called the urethra. Semen passes through the urethra when a guy ejaculates (cums). This happens when he has an orgasm. Semen contains the sperm, or reproductive cells, that can make a girl pregnant. Urine (pee) also travels through the urethra and comes out through the hole in the tip of the penis. It is impossible to pee and cum at the same time.

3.What is the urethra?
Answer: The urethra is a tube that carries urine (girls and guys) and semen (only guys) from inside the body to the outside. Both guys and girls have urethras. It is easier to see on guys because it is visible at the end of the penis. A girls' urethra is usually hidden from view by her labia (vaginal lips). For guys, the urethra is inside the penis and allows semen (cum) and urine to leave the body. When a guy is sexually excited and gets an erection, a valve shuts off the passageway between the bladder, where urine is stored, and the urethra. This makes it impossible for a guy to urinate (pee) and ejaculate at the same time. When a guy gets an erection, a gland inside the scrotum releases a fluid that comes out of the tip of the penis. This clear, sticky stuff is called pre-ejaculatory fluid. Pre-cum cleans out the inside of the urethra.The fluid makes the urethra less acidic and gives the sperm a better shot at surviving the trip from the male's testicles into the female's body, in search of an egg. Pre-cum fluid does not usually contain sperm. But if live sperm are inside a guy's urethra (because he ejaculated recently), the pre-cum can "pick up" the leftover sperm on its way through the urethra and out of the penis. If a guy pees after he ejaculates, that would kill leftover sperm. Pre-cum can carry sexually transmitted diseases, though, so a guy who's about to have intercourse should put on a condom as soon as he gets an erection.

4.What is the clear fluid that comes out of a guy's penis before he cums?
Answer: It's called pre-cum or pre-ejaculatory fluid and it comes from the Cowper's gland inside a guy's reproductive system. It's released when a guy gets an erection. Pre-cum cleans out the inside of the urethra, which is the tube that carries semen and urine out of the penis.The fluid makes the urethra less acidic and gives the sperm a better shot at surviving the trip from the guy's testicles to the girl's fallopian tubes. Pre-cum fluid does not usually contain sperm.However, if there are live sperm inside a guy's urethra (because he has ejaculated recently), the pre-cum can "pick up" the leftover sperm on its way through the urethra and out of the penis. If a guy pees after he ejaculates, that would kill leftover sperm.So, say a guy has sex and cums at 9 p.m. He doesn't go to the bathroom after he has sex. At 10 p.m., he gets another erection and pre-cum fluid is released. That fluid can have live sperm in it. Is it enough sperm to get a girl pregnant? Possible, because it only takes one sperm, but not probable.But pre-cum can carry sexually transmitted diseases, so a guy should put on a condom as soon as he gets an erection.

5.What's the difference between the scrotum and testicles?
Answer: The scrotum is the sack of skin that hangs below the penis. Inside are the testicles (testes), which are two small structures more commonly called "balls." Inside the testes, sperm cells are made and stored. These are the cells that come out of the penis during ejaculation, or when a guy cums. They can swim through a female's body searching for an egg to fertilize. If they connect with one, they can start a pregnancy.The sex hormone, testosterone, is also produced in the testicles. Like the female hormone, estrogen, the male hormone gives men their special traits – muscles, deeper voices and more hair on the body.Sperm need a specific temperature to survive. The scrotum makes sure the temperature is right for sperm to survive. So, when it's really warm, the scrotum stretches and the testicles hang lower and away from the warmth of the body. When it's cold outside, the scrotum pulls the testicles close to the body to keep them warm.

6.What is the prostate?
Answer: The prostate is a gland that makes much of the fluid found in semen. Semen is the whitish fluid that comes out of a guy's penis when he ejaculates. Semen contains the sperm that can swim from a male's penis into a female's body, in search of an egg to fertilize. The semen also contains nutrients that help keep the sperm healthy and active as they travel from male to female. Some guys find that stimulation of the prostate is very sexually arousing. It is possible to stimulate the male prostate by inserting a (gloved, lubricated) finger or a penis (with a condom) into a guy's rectum.

7.Where can I go to get a sexual health medical exam?
Answer: Unlike girls, most guys don't go for regular medical checks of their sexual and reproductive organs, unless they have a problem or question. But it's a good idea for guys to see a doctor, get checked out and ask any questions. If you are having oral, vaginal, or anal sex, then you need to get tested regularly for STDs, too.

8.What's the average size of a penis?
Answer: Penises come in all shapes and sizes. But the average length of an erect, adult penis is between 5 and 7 inches. Because teen boys' bodies are growing through puberty, there is no accurate average size for younger guys.Most guys reach their full adult penis size by the time they get into their early 20s. A penis that is small when soft (flaccid) gets much bigger when erect, but a penis that's longer when soft won't grow as much when it's hard. A lot of guys get hung up on the size of their penis. But the truth is, size really doesn't matter that much when it comes to being able to give or receive pleasure during sex. Just like some people are attracted to large or small breasts, others are attracted to large or small penises. Pleasing a partner is not about the size and shape of body parts, but rather the way they're used and learning what pleases your partner.

9.My penis looks smaller compared to other guys I've seen in the locker room. Am I normal?
Answer: Most likely. While there's a lot of talk about penis size, the truth is that the average adult penis is between 5 and 7 inches long when erect, and a lot smaller when flaccid or limp. Some penises are wide and some are thin. Since your penis is growing throughout puberty, which can happen anywhere between the ages of 9 and 18, you won't really know your adult size until you've stopped growing. It's best to quit worrying about it. The size of your penis has very little to do with what kind of person you are or what kind of lover you'll be. Some people like guys with large penises, but many would rather have guys with average size penises. So, when someone says "size matters," that doesn't have to mean that bigger is always better.Courage to talk to your partner about what feels good is more important than size. A guy with a large penis who has no idea how to please a partner is going to be a lesser lover than someone with a smaller penis who takes the time to find out what his partner really likes.

10.I've heard you can buy creams to make your penis bigger. Do they work?
Answer: No, save your money! Some guys will try anything to increase the size of their penis. Creams and "penis pumps" might make your penis a little bigger for a little while, but the change won't last. Don't believe those photos you see on the Internet, either. They've been altered to make the penises look like they're really pumped up.Plus, penis pumps damage the penis, if used often. So a guy could end up being unable to get an erection, or without feeling in his penis. And that would defeat the whole purpose.

11.I cum really fast when I'm having sex. What can I do?
Answer: It's really normal for young guys to orgasm and ejaculate (cum) quickly. The average is only two minutes. True premature ejaculation is when you ejaculate within a few seconds. (Orgasm and ejaculation usually happen at the same time, but not always.) There are a few things you can do to slow things down: Wear a condom from start to finish. This will reduce your sensitivity. Remember to use latex, since that also protects you and your partner from sexual transmitted diseases. Some condoms have a desensitization cream that may be helpful. Masturbate before having sex. It usually takes longer the second time for a guy to reach orgasm. Take a break. When you feel yourself getting close to orgasm, stop and give your body time to relax. Focus on your partner in another way. Try the "squeeze technique." Try gently squeezing the base or head of the penisbefore you get too close to orgasm. You can also gently pull the testicles lower when they start to hug the body. If this hurts your penis or testicles, then stop and try other methods instead.This all takes time and practice, so be patient!

12.I'm 16, and I can't seem to keep an erection. I saw some Viagra in my dad's closet; can I just take some of his?
Answer: Absolutely not. First of all, you should never take medication if it hasn't been prescribed to you, no matter what it is. Second, you don't know what's causing your problems. It might not be caused by something physical at all. Erectile dysfunction (when a man cannot get or maintain an erection) has a number of different causes. With someone as young as you are, you should get checked by your doctor or clinician to see whether anything physical is going on. Remember that our brain is the most powerful sex organ we have--so something as minor as stress can affect your ability to get and keep an erection. So if it keeps happening, get it checked out!Again, Viagra is not to be toyed with. It's not a simple sex enhancement. Adult and teenage males alike who have abused Viagra have ended up in the emergency room. So leave your dad's--and anyone else's--Viagra alone.

13.What if my penis is bent or curved?
Answer: Some penises curve. And that’s totally normal. It just means that there’s more spongy tissue on one side of the penis than on the other. That causes the penis to bend when it fills with blood and becomes erect. Only if the penis is bent in the shape of an L should it cause any pain or problem with sexual functioning. If you have any pain when you have an erection, check it out with a doctor.

14.One of my testicles hangs lower than the other. Is something wrong?
Answer: It's very common for the testicles, which lie in the sac called the scrotum below the penis, to be slightly uneven. This means that one testicle will hang a bit lower than the other. Not to worry, this is completely normal.

15.Is it normal to have hair "down there"?
Answer: Totally. It's called pubic hair. For guys: Hair usually grows just above and around the penis. It also grows near most people's anus. The hair provides warmth and padding. Guys' pubic hair grows at different rates, so don't be concerned if you see other guys who have more or less than you do. Your hair will grow in at the right time for your body.For girls: Hair usually grows above and around your vulva and vagina. It also grows near most people's anus. The hair provides warmth and padding. Girls' pubic hair grows at different rates, so don't be concerned if you see other girls who have more or less than you do. Your hair will grow in at the right time for your body. Some people shave their pubic hair, but most don't. When people shave their pubic hair, they usually find that it itches while it grows back. There can also be irritation and soreness without hair covering this sensitive skin area.If you do decide to shave, be careful! Soak in a bath, use a new, clean razor and lots of soap or shaving cream. Shave in the direction of the hair growth. Then put on some lotion or powder to help the itching and irritation.

16.What are blue balls?
Answer: When a guy is sexually excited, but doesn't ejaculate (cum), he sometimes gets an achy feeling in his testicles and lower abdomen. The slang name for this is "blue balls." The name comes from the myth that a guy's balls will turn blue and fall off if he doesn't cum. It might be uncomfortable to have swollen testes, but there are no long-term health risks. And your balls certainly aren't going to turn blue or fall off. Eventually the erection goes away, or the guy ejaculates and relieves the pressure.

17.What is circumcision and does it affect sexual performance?
Answer: All males are born with a foreskin, a piece of skin that covers the head of the penis. Many parents have this flap removed when their baby boys are just a few days old. That’s called circumcision. Doctors have said removing the foreskin reduces the risk of infection. Some guys have not been circumcised and still have their foreskins. Basically, there’s no difference between circumcised and uncircumcised penises, except for the way they look. They both function the same. But, a guy with an uncircumcised penis has to be especially careful to clean under the foreskin to prevent infection and keep the skin moving freely over the head of the penis. He also has to be sure the foreskin is rolled back before putting on a condom. Sometimes, it will roll back naturally. If not, then he should pull it back over the head of the penis. If there’s any pain when pulling back the foreskin, see a doctor. Sometimes, uncircumcised penises get adhesions – places where the foreskin is stuck to the penis – but they’re easily treated.

18.What are wet dreams?
Answer: During puberty, a guy begins to produce sperm in his testicles. Sperm are reproductive cells that can make a girl pregnant. Sperm mixes with fluids from nearby glands to create semen. Semen is a milky white, sticky fluid that includes millions of sperm. It comes out of the tip of the penis when a guy ejaculates (or “cums”). When teen guys first start producing sperm, the testicles sometimes get overloaded and need to release the sperm. This results in a discharge of semen, usually when a guy is sleeping. This is called a “wet dream.” (The technical name is “nocturnal emission.”) It’s normal for guys to have a lot of wet dreams, anywhere from one to three times a week. It’s also normal for guys to never have wet dreams or have only one their whole life. A guy who ejaculates on a regular basis—either during sex with someone or masturbating alone—is less likely to have wet dreams. Wet dreams also tend to slow down as guys get older.

19.I’m not circumcised, and I’m afraid that when I have sex, my partner will be grossed out. What can I do?
Answer: Lots of guys worry about how their partners will react to their uncircumcised penis. The problem is, until recently, most baby boys were circumcised automatically, usually just days after birth. Doctors said it reduced the risk of infection. So, any pictures we see are most likely circumcised penises. Those are the so-called “normal” ones. That’s why you feel different and worried about this.The truth is, many men have uncircumcised penises and they’re just as beautiful as ones that have had the flap of skin removed from the head of the penis. Today, fewer parents are opting to circumcise their baby boys. Many don’t believe that circumcision makes for healthier penises.So, try to relax. The right partner should accept you – and all your body parts – just the way they are.

20.What if I get my girl pregnant?
Answer: If your girlfriend gets pregnant, she gets to decide what to do about the pregnancy, whether it's abortion, adoption or raising the child. You have no legal say in her decision. That's her right. But if she decides to keep the baby, you will be expected to help pay for raising the child. That means child support payments for the next 18 years. So, what does that tell you? Be careful! Sometimes guys leave the protection and birth control concerns up to girls, and that's a big mistake. Of course, you can always choose not to have sex, which is the only 100 percent, for-sure way to prevent pregnancy.If you decide to have sex, you and your girlfriend should visit a local clinic, like Planned Parenthood, to learn about all of your contraceptive options. You should also ALWAYS wear a condom, even if your girlfriend is on the Pill, to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted disease.

21.When a guy cums, how much semen is there?
Answer: When a guy ejaculates (cums), he typically releases about a teaspoon of semen. If he ejaculates often, the amount usually decreases. That's normal since it takes about five to seven days for a guy to produce a complete ejaculate. If he ejaculates often, he would not have had time to build up the supply, so less will come out. But there will always be some fluid released; so remember, it only takes one sperm to fertilize an egg!

22.What if I can't cum?
Answer: Sometimes, you can't have an orgasm when you want one. It might be that you're used to masturbating or having sex in a certain way. Maybe you're with someone new now and you need time to get used to being with that person. It might also be that you tried too hard to keep your erection. So you kind of missed the chance to "let go" and now you can't get there again. Drugs and alcohol can also make it harder for a guy to ejaculate.Try talking to your partner about what feels good. That usually helps. If you're unable to ejaculate more than half of the time, talk to a doctor or health care professional.

23.Sometimes I can't keep an erection. Why?
Answer: During a sexual experience, some guys' erections will soften to the point where they're unable to penetrate or ejaculate (cum). If this just happens occasionally, though, try to relax and focus on pleasing your partner. A little stimulation can also help you get your erection back.A lot of guys don't want to admit it, but it happens more often than you'd think. Guys usually have trouble getting or keeping an erection when they're nervous, scared or worried about something. They might be afraid about getting their girlfriend pregnant or getting a sexually transmitted disease. They might be worried about how they'll "perform," or they could be feeling guilty about having sex. Drugs (including some anti-depressants) and alcohol can also prevent you from getting and maintaining an erection.If you can keep an erection when you're alone, then you're probably worried about something when you're with your partner. Think about how you feel and then talk to your partner about your concerns. You might be putting too much pressure on yourself, or not protecting yourself by using condoms and birth control. Or maybe, you'll discover that you're really not ready for sex right now and need to wait until you're older.And remember, the idea that you can ejaculate (cum) and get another erection right away is a myth for most guys. Usually, you have to wait a while. This is called the refractory period. It can last minutes, hours or days, depending on a guy's age and health.

24.What's "Spanish Fly"? My girlfriend says that if you take it, you get really horny.
Answer: Another great myth! People have been looking into substances that can get a person turned on sexually for centuries! These things--like "Spanish Fly"--are called "aphrodisiacs." The only thing that so-called aphrodisiacs have in common is that they don't work! And no studies have shown any drug to increase a person's sexual arousal and desire. Even something like Viagra helps a man who can't get an erection get and keep one--it doesn't give him the idea that he wants to have sex. That has to come from him.Now, everyone is different--different people get turned on by different things. For some people, smelling their partner's perfume or cologne can turn them on (even if they smell it on someone else!). For other people, eating particular foods can turn them on so much that they want to share them with another person during sex. This does not mean, however, that fresh strawberries are an aphrodisiac or that you should run out and start spraying your perfume or cologne at people!The most powerful sex organ we have is our brains. There is a vast array of ideas and images that can turn us on sexually. But alongside the myth that there is a "love potion" that can make someone fall in love with us, no pill or medication can make someone feel horny. And the worst part of this myth is that people sometimes will take these pills and slip them into other people's drinks or food to try to get them to want to have sex with them. And aside from the fact that you should never take medicine that hasn't been prescribed to you, it really shows that the person who's doing it is trying to take advantage of another person.

25.Is it normal to get erections for no reason?
Answer: Totally normal. Most teen guys get erections at embarrassing times, when it seems like there's absolutely no reason for it. You might, subconsciously, be thinking about something sexual. Or, it might just be your huge hormonal shifts that cause your genitals to be supersensitive. But don't worry. Although it may seem like everyone will be able to tell, no one can really notice. Spontaneous erections happen a lot less once a guy finishes puberty, although adult men still get them every once in a while.

26.What is puberty and when does it happen?
Answer: Sometime between 9 and 13, most guys begin to go through puberty, a process that, in essence, changes your body from a child to an adult. The changes that happen during puberty can continue until you are about 18. Both boys and girls go through puberty.When a boy starts going through puberty, usually the first thing that happens is hair starts growing under his arms, around his penis area (genitals) and on his face. Hair on other parts of his body will often get thicker and darker, too. Some guys have more hair than others. Genetics play a part in this. That means if your dad, for example, has a lot of body hair, chances are pretty good that you will, too, although that's not always true.Also during puberty, a guy's voice box grows. That's what causes his voice to crack and squeak. It takes a few months for the cracking to stop, as the voice deepens and settles into its adult tone.During puberty, it's also common for boys to have large growth spurts, times when they grow real fast over a short period of time. This rapid growth can cause "growing pains," when joints and muscles ache and get sore. Also, when a guy grows real fast, he doesn't have time to get used to his larger limbs, so he sometimes feels awkward and clumsy.This might seem weird, but, during puberty, some guys develop swollen and tender breasts. If that happens to you, don't freak. You're not turning into a girl. Blame the hormones. They're causing your chest to swell. It'll go away when the tissue is replaced by muscle. So relax. Because puberty also usually brings guys more muscle and strength.Another bit of good news. The penis, testicles and scrotum also grow during puberty. The testicles start growing and producing sperm. Since your testicles (balls) are growing faster than your penis at first, it might seem like your penis is shrinking. It's not. In time, it all evens out.

27.Will masturbating a lot make a guy’s sperm less potent?
Answer: No. The male body makes new sperm all the time, so masturbating often does not mean he’ll be all out of sperm and unable to start a pregnancy. That means that masturbation is definitely NOT a form of birth control.But, if a guy ejaculates more than once a day, the amount of semen might be less, so there’s fewer sperm swimming around. It can take a few days of not ejaculating to get a full supply of sperm. (But remember, it only takes one sperm and one egg hooking up to start a pregnancy).

28.I feel I’m homosexual and don’t want to be. Can I change my sexual orientation?
Answer: Basically, your sexual orientation is something that is part of you – just like the color of your eyes and the shape of your nose. So, in general, no, you can’t change your sexual orientation.Some conservative and religious groups claim people can change their sexual orientation through prayer or therapy. But this just isn't true. People might change their sexual behavior. Maybe they start having sex with a member of a different gender. Or, they might stop having sex altogether. But, that doesn't change their inner feelings of who they find attractive.In other cases, people’s understanding of their sexual orientation changes. Our society generally accepts being heterosexual as “normal.” That puts a lot of pressure on lesbian, gay and bisexual people to suppress their true feelings and try to fit in. It seems easier, even if it means being someone you’re not. A lot of times, though, people realize they can’t pretend for their whole life. So, they come out. They haven’t “become” lesbian, gay or bisexual. They’ve just accepted who they are.

29.I have had sexual feelings toward or have had a sexual experience with someone of the same sex. Am I gay?
Answer: It's impossible for me to say whether you're gay. During the teen years and young adulthood, many people struggle to discover who they are and that includes trying to figure out whether they're gay (homosexual), straight (heterosexual) or bi (bisexual) Some people have sexual experiences with people of the same gender when they are young, but grow up to be heterosexual. And, some have sexual experiences with people of the opposite gender when they are young, but grow up to be homosexual.Many people -- teens and adults -- have sexual thoughts or fantasies about people of the same gender without necessarily being gay. A person's sexual orientation is something that develops over time. Your feelings, not just behaviors, will eventually help you decide whether you're gay, straight or bisexual.It's probably a bad idea to label yourself now. Just try to figure out how you feel toward different people and in different situations. Try to figure out what makes you happy. If your feelings continue to worry you, check out a counselor or other professional you can talk to who can help you sort things out.

30.Some more about a boy's sex organs
Answer: The boy's sex organs outside his body are his penis and testicles (testes). A boy's penis hangs down between his legs at the front of his body. The main part of the penis is called the shaft. The end of the penis is called the glans. The foreskin is skin that covers the glans. Usually it can be pulled back quite easily. If it is tight it can be stretched by gently pulling it over the glans. All boys are born with a foreskin, but some have it removed whilst they are a baby. This removal of the foreskin is called circumcision. The scrotum is a loose wrinkly pouch of skin that hangs down behind a boy's penis. It contains the testicles (testes). As a boy goes through puberty his testicles move lower down his scrotum. One of the testicles usually hangs lower than the other.

39.I'm gay and I really like someone but I'm not sure if they're gay too. Should I ask them out?
Answer: As with any potential relationship situation, you need to be prepared for the possibility of rejection if the person doesn't feel the same way as you. Sometimes getting to know a person as a friend first and trying to gauge their feelings and attitudes can help you to decide whether to take things any further. Perhaps mention a well-known gay celebrity and see what their reaction is.Sometimes you may find that other people's ignorance and fears mean that you experience a really negative response. If this happens, it's really important not to take it personally. You are not to blame for the prejudices that other people have. If you are worried about it, talking things through with someone on a LGB hotline can be really useful. These advice lines are usually staffed by people who have been in similar situations, and it can be really helpful to talk to someone who knows exactly what you're going through.
