The boyfriend and I have been having anal sex for quite a while now. Sometimes it is AMAZING, best feeling in the world for both of us. But the problem is that most times, it starts hurting after 30 or so minutes. The pain is kind of a tingling/burning sensation, and almost like all the nerve endings are being stimulated at once so I actually jump a little during thrusting. It feels like we use enough lube, as everything glides smoothly. The pain also seems to come much more quickly when I am on my knees/stomach as opposed to on my back. He likes to have me gape wide open for him, and that also brings on the pain much quicker. We have pretty rough anal sex, as well. So, questions: 1. What could be the reason for the pain? The positions, air getting inside, the length of time?2. Is [...]

Advice? Should I be worried?

December 7, 2012 · 20 Comments

Hi everyone! I'm looking for some advice. I don't really have anyone else to talk to about this and my boyfriend isn't concerned. I'm just wondering if I should be… So last night my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex. We don't do it all the time. I'm on the pill for birth control and he uses condoms sometimes anyways. I'm the overly cautious type. Hence this post, haha. But last night while we were having sex he asked if he could take off the condom he was wearing. I was super in the moment so I told him to do whatever he wanted. So he took if off and we proceeded to have sex. However, as soon as he finished inside me I remembered that I haven't taken my pill all week. It was my off week and I had just finished my period yesterday morning before we had sex. He wasn't worried because [...]

To Plan B or not to Plan B?

December 6, 2012 · 2 Comments

I had sex unexpectedly tonight with no protection and he pulled out*. My cycle averages 28 days but is between 26-32 days regularly for the past 8+ years (25-30 days for the past 9 cycles) and today was day 13. My guess is I either ovulated already or will tomorrow but if it’s one of my less common longer cycles, it could be in the next few days. I generally fear medication dramatically but I have taken plan B once in the distant past and do not recall any major side effects. I’m considering taking it but I’d rather not for financial reasons and for fear of medication. I also don’t know how effective it would be based on where I am in my cycle anyway (as in, it might not be necessary or effective if I already ovulated), though like I said, it’s possible that I haven’t ovulated yet, [...]

My vagina’s too small!

December 5, 2012 · 9 Comments

Bonjour, VPers! I was going to ask this in Reddit’s Sex community, but then figured that VP was probably a more apt (and less judgmental + male-dominated) place to do it. I have a small vagina – both lengthwise and widthwise. It’s not an issue of virginity – I have penetrative sex with my boyfriend (he has an average-sized penis, about 6″ and average girth) all the time, comfortably. It’s not an issue of tense PC muscles – I don’t have vaginismus or anything like that; I know how to fully relax my muscles. And it’s not an issue of not enough lube – I use lube liberally. Right now, I can handle about 6″ of length before hitting my cervix, even at maximum arousal. And I can use a toy with a 1.5″ girth, but it’s not super comfortable and I prefer narrower toys. But here’s the issue: I’m [...]

Whee, you all get to watch the slow unfolding of my sex life. GOOD TIMES. I’ve been noticing that I have trouble communicating with my partner about sex, both during the act and not. I know it’s probably partly because of how I was condition (raised evangelical Christian, so I got a double-dose of DON’T HAVE SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE and DON’T ENJOY SEX OR YOU ARE EEEEEEVIL, so to speak). And it’s just frustrating because not communicating well is not helping either of us. I told him that we should talk about it, so that will probably happen tomorrow night or something. I think that will be okay because I have a short list of things to address and we’ll be IMing most likely, and that’s a little easier for me to handle. It’s really in person/in the moment that’s a problem for me. So, um. Has anyone had that [...]

External YI, and the NuvaRing (possibly related, but not really)

December 2, 2012 · 22 Comments

Hi! I was hoping you folks could help me out with two issues I’m having.First some background:Cis-female, 18 years old, sexually active, been in a relationship with a cis-male for 7 months. 1. So I’m apparently suffering from an external YI from hell (see first comment, there’s me and my symptomes!). Now, I don’t know how to get rid of it. I haven’t had sex in a month, because it’s really persisting this time. I’ve had it come and go since.. New Years, probably, never knowing what it was or what to do. However, since starting the Nuva Ring, it’s just not going away like it used to. I’ve been doing the yogurt thing for a while now, and while it’s somewhat helpful, I’m definitely not cured. I want my vagina back! The itching is centered around my clitoris and vaginal opening now.What kind of medication do I need? (I’m [...]
