Bodies

Bodies can do some pretty weird things sometimes. The unexpected can happen for reasons that not be apparent to us, even if everything has worked like clockwork in the past. There are lots of things that can cause a period to be late or to skip once in a while. Obviously, if you were pregnant you…

You don’t have an unusually small penis: you have an average sized penis. On average, the penis is between five and six inches in length, and four inches and five and a half in girth. See? Average. As well, weight loss doesn’t impact penis size. The penis can look larger with eight loss simply due…

I’m sorry that you’re having to go through this. Looking at the timing here, and what you’re describing, it does sound like you had your menstrual period, in which case no, you cannot be pregnant. Not knowing the length of your cycles, or the date of that last period, I can’t tell you when to expect…

Well, I’ll bet you’re annoyed! But it’s not just a guy thing. Often after anyone – male, female or otherwise – reaches orgasm, they’ll be a little spaced out for a bit, and might need a breather sometimes. Sometimes, even with our bit of dizzy-spacey-blissed-out, we’ll still be up to continuing…

I’m so sorry you’re having to go through this, confused. You know, most of what many people think about virginity just isn’t accurate. And really, in so many ways, most ideas about virginity, and dynamics of virginity are sexist, have done a lot of women real harm through history and are…well…

Thing is, the hymen, when it is present or partially…

Your boyfriend seems to be dismissing the fact that for the majority of women, intercourse all by itself, no matter how long or short it lasts, is not very satisfying, especially physically. But even if it were, and even if a majority of women wanted intercourse to last a long time, that wouldn’t be…

Before I say anything else, understand that you’ve got nothing to be scared about here, okay? You also don’t need to feel embarrassed about not knowing this stuff: not only do plenty of adult women not know either, it’s certainly not your fault that no one has given you thorough sex education or…

Hey, Monica! You know, weird feelings after sexual activities of all sorts are something that is reported pretty frequently by folks. There could be a couple of reasons for this. First of all, when we’re sexually active, we tend to become more aware of our bodies than we were before. Normal gas or…

No, panty crust is a normal result of vaginal discharge. Normally, it’s just cervical mucus. If she has an infection, it may contain other things (like pus). Cervical mucus – like all mucus – dries out to a solid; there’s not much of it left compared to its original volume since mucus is mostly…
