2:01 pm - Warts.

moosmama468
Hello there, I'm new here, and I have several questions about warts and treatment.

I was diagnosed about a year ago, and used tea tree oil to treat my warts. They went away pretty quickly, and I haven't had a reoccurance. My boyfriend hasn't been so lucky. We noticed the warts on him around the same time, and he did not seek treatment until a few weeks ago. We both know how bad this is, but he was VERY embarrassed, and that kept him from going. His warts are concentrated on his foreskin and are not on the penis itself yet. There are about six tiny ones, three that are about 2mm in diameter, and one large cluster that is 7mm in diameter.

Now, for the questions:
Would you recommend the acid, Aldera, or Condylox?
If you have used any of these treatments, did you have scarring, and how bad was it?
How long does it take for the warts to go away with each treatment?
I know treating warts is generally painful, how soon would we be able to resume a normal sex life?

I am fully aware that he let this go for far too long, but he's finally committed to treating them now, so please help if you can. I'm trying to get him to start some sort of treatment as soon as Monday.

10:45 pm - Genital Warts Cure
vaginalwart

Genital warts is a sexually transmitted diseased

Genital warts usually grow in small clusters and can grow larger and larger, which can be very distressful for a person. They are also very contagious and in some cases can develop into serious problems. Perhaps one of the biggest concerns for people who suffer from genital warts, is the fear of not knowing when their next outbreak will come and how severe it will be.

However they can continue to develop if untreated, as the virus replicates and in some cases spread to other areas of the genital region. They may also grow into larger more developed warts that have stalks and form a cauliflower like appearance, that often grow in clusters. This can obviously be physically uncomfortable for a person and very emotionally distressful

Wartrol is a natural homeopathic treatment for genital warts, that  is a great product for treating genital warts, and one of the leading genital warts products on the market today.

How Does Wartrol Work?

Wartrol works by stimulating the body to produce the necessary immune response needed so heal itself. This is very similar to how vaccines, used for viruses like the flu work to stimulate the immune system by introducing very small amounts of toxin into the body.

Wartrol is 100% safe and natural, and no side effects.

Wartrol ingredients are herbs and minerals. Many other treatments for genital warts can be toxic to the body and extremely unpleasant and painful

Using Wartrol however is very easy, as it is taken by dropping the liquid under the tongue where it can get immediate access to the bloodstream and start working quickly.

Wartrol however, that they offer a full money back guarantee and with special packages you get two extra bottles for free, which is a pretty good deal. This way you can give it a try and if it doesn’t work for you, then you don’t have to pay!

At the end of the day whether you buy Wartrol or decide on another genital warts treatment, you will be glad you did as it will give you the confidence to cure genital warts.

9:57 pm - new to the community

blueyed_turtle
Hi everybody, my name is Jennifer - I'm actually posting on behalf of a friend of mine. Ex-boyfriend, really. He recently found out that he is HIV positive (I'm clear) and he is so completely lost and I'm the only friend he'll really open up to right now. He considers me one of his best friends and I still consider him that as well.

My uncle died of AIDS a little over 16 years ago and it broke my heart when he passed away and now one of my dearest friends/ex-boyfriend has HIV. I'm just as lost because I don't know what to tell him. I've been letting him talk and just vent about it to me as much as he wants. He has been in denial, angry and everything else. He also found out that his insurance doesn't cover any of the stuff he needs.

I know the best thing I can do right now is just be there for him, but I want to provide him with information and options because he's still so lost.

Any advice/suggestions would be much appreciated.

current mood: mellow

 Hey guys... I'm a little concerned, and to be honest I should probably see a doctor about this but I'm back home with the family and am scared of getting a bollocking off my parents if I share this information with them...

I'm 20 years old, and have been on and off the pill for about 4 years now. Usually my period is pretty regular, but my last period was in November 2010. I know I should have gone to a doctor about this a while ago, but I've been so busy (I'm in my last year of university and have been up to my shoulders in work) and honestly haven't had the time. I've taken two pregnancy tests on different occasions, so can rule pregnancy out. I've also lost a bit of weight these last few weeks but my BMI isn't in the underweight range, and this is partly intentional and due to stress from work and home (I had an accident over Christmas that nearly cost me my life).
As you can see, there are a number of factors that could explain the missed period... but I'm just paranoid that I'm going through a premature menopause or something.... It's really worrying me, as I can't go to the doctors til I'm back in the UK without nosy parents....

I was just wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this either, or if my M.I.A. period could be something far more sinister...

9:20 pm - birth control.

siirius
I am not entirely sure if I've come to the right place for this. But let us giver a go anyway!


A little bit of background. I've been on the birth control, Tri Cyclen Lo, since I was 17. I'm now 24. In my teens I was depressed, but I think that most people are? Going through that awkward highschool age and what not. I figured I would grow out of it, but then I went on the pill and even though I wasn't as depressed as I once was, the depression never really went away. In January I went off the pill, as I wasn't involved with anyone and my prescription had run out. I had recently moved back to Canada from Europe and moved in with my stepmum, who I have a history of not getting along with. Well, we got along amazingly well for the first time in my life. I thought that perhaps this was because I was away from home for so long, but a friend mentioned to me a few weeks ago that she went off her birth control and was no longer as moody as she was on birth control. I never considered my birth control to have a factor in my moods until I heard this. Well, a few months after being home I became involved with a long time friend, and we've been together since. So of course I went back on the pill, and our relationship kind of went downhill from there. I'm back to being depressed, easily annoyed and irritated, crying over anything and everything, and not to mention no orgasms or much of a sex drive.

I am just wondering if anyone else has had this problem? Maybe not with this particular brand of birth control, but another type? We're at the point now where we've decided to go off the birth control (I took the last pill today) and see if that improves my moods at all.

Opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

10:31 am - Vaginal bleeding after First time -- Normal?

krwlr
Hi everyone, I'm an 18 year old girl who's had sex for the first time 6 days ago. It hurt a lot, as expected, and there were several attempts (as in we stopped at took a break) before we finally got it right. We did it twice, but we used condoms in all attempts and actual sex. It was at the very end of my period so we thought it might have been because of that that I was kind of... not as well lubricated. So we bought lube, which was a huge factor in us actually having sex. I had the Morning After Pill about 15 minutes after.

For about 4 days, there's just been a tiny amount of blood - just enough to stain (very lightly) maybe 2 cm long, 0.5 cm wide stripes on my underwear. There seems to be something like a membrane in the mix. Hymen? Then yesterday (5 days after sex), the bloodloss increased. Not exponentially, but kind of like the beginning of a period. I would get it confused with my period if it weren't just blood, and no globs. Also, there's a slight dull pain inside, somewhere around & under the bellybutton. Should I be worried/go see the gynecologist? Or is it simply

Any help is really, greatly appreciated. Thanks so much. :)

2:18 pm - Vaginismus + Primary Vulvar Vestibulitis = no sex drive or arousal?

lobo_solitario
I have been diagnosed with Vaginisum and Primary Vulvar Vestibulitis (or Vulvodynia).  I've never been able to insert a tampon before because of the pain, but recently I found that I can insert it, though it's painful and doesn't feel very comfortable at first.  A sign of improvement, maybe?

I have had my testosterone level checked and it came back as normal, unfortunately (if it had been abnormal, at least I would have something to blame for my lack of sex drive).  The doctor thinks that first treating the pain I feel during sex (intercourse, oral, and basic hand manipulation) would be better for me and my husband and that the arousal will most likely come afterward.  I'm not sure I really agree with that theory.

12:14 am - Quiet Cummer

spinster
My partner is freakishly quiet when he orgasms. He says he enjoys fucking me but doesn't make a peep. I don't even know when he finishes. I'm totally loud if the orgasm is a good one. Should I be concerned?

2:03 pm - Men need to learn how to finger...

spinster
I am a big fan of penis and really enjoy intercourse, but often when a guy fingers me it hurts. They think their finger is a dick; That they can just shove it in and poke me. Often their knuckles become a problem and it feels like they're punching my vulva. It's painful, and I feel sore for days afterward. Last time I had sex I tried explaining to him how to do it. Curve your fingers upward and finger in a come hither motion, but he just didn't understand. Anyone else have this problem?

I have a question about my boyfriend and his penis.

I'm on the Nuvaring right now. He was looking through one of the booklets that comes with it, and it said "The effect of the Nuvaring on men has not been studied," and he mentioned to me that every now and then, after we have sex, his penis gets sore. Since he brought it up in this context, I assume it hadn't happen with his other partners (though, I suppose I really should ask him this directly).

Anyway, it happened again last night. He cited vigerous sex (as it was quite) as the reason for his soreness, but I'm wondering if maybe it could actually have something to do with my birth control? I don't really want to cause him pain though, but I really can't switch to the pill since I can never, ever remember to take pills daily.


So, my question to you (both men and woman), is if your partner/you uses the Nuvaring, do(es) you/your partner ever experience soreness afterwards?

9:59 pm - Orgasms : )

my_weary_mind
So I FINALLY orgasmed for the first time!  It was a few weeks ago, and I have already orgasmed again a few times since then.  Actually, it was in the only men's bathroom in my all girls residence hall on campus.  I was bent over, and my boyfriend was standing behind me, reaching his left arm around to rub my clit, while his right arm stayed behind me and he used his thumb to hit my g-spot.  I've been looking up information about orgasms and such, and I'm pretty sure what I've been having are g-spot orgasms, because I have ejaculated each time.  Funny though, the stuff I have read has indicated that those orgasms are harder to have.  For me, it's the clitoral orgasm that's harder to have.

Have other people found ejaculating orgasms easier to have?  Is this a little odd?  Does anyone have any pointers or advice on clitoral orgasms?  Does someone have a similar story?  No one has to try and answer everything.  I'm just very curious about this, and anything is helpful. 

current mood: flirty

1:40 am - Unusual Burning

spinster
The last few times I've had sex it has burned. I try to make sure I'm wet enough before intercourse, but there's still been a burning sensation. This does not happen when I use toys during masturbation, just when I'm with a guy.

1:05 pm - Feeling!

chantillylace29
Okaaay so here's my dilema (any help would be much appreciated!):
For some reason I dont feel a whole lot physically when having sex with my boyfriend. Emotionally, theres no problem at all. As stupid as it sounds, I dont really have anything to compare it to considering he's my first. I wonder if maybe this is a problem with me because I just dont find sex as fulfilling as everyone else seems to because I can hardly feel it! Any ideas what the problem could be?

10:13 pm - weird bodily question

firefoxerika
I have a question about my body...I'm 21, I lost my virginity when I was 16 to an averaged sized guy. We didn't have sex that much (in two years I think we did it maybe three times).  My next boyfriend was a lil bigger but still comfortable.  I've been using  three different sized vibrators since I was about 18.  My question is that I think I still have my hymen (however you spell it).  It's uncomfortable when I try to use my large vibrator, and it's a rather large piece of skin running vertically...it's weird...is it ok to cut it or should I go see a doctor to get rid of it?  Thanks for the advice

2:13 pm - STDs and sexual health during cunnilingus

akasakasan
Okay so this a bit of a stupid question but I'm going to sum up the courage and ask it anyway.

I'm a bisexual female who has thus far only had sex with males. I've been flirting with a female friend and next week we're going on holidays where we will most likely take the flirting further. In situations with males I am aware of STDs and I always make sure we use condoms and are safe.

However, I'm not sure what to do in a situation with another female. I've asked friends, all of whom are straight, who told me that I shouldn't worry because if I get an STD it will be from a male and not a female. However, that doesn't seem particularly right to me. Yes I am not a total imbecile and have used google, however, and I have stumbled across something called a dental dam which I have never seen before. Wouldn't that dull all senation though? And where would I get one? Are my friends right in saying that I wont need protection if I'm with another female?
What would you recomend I do?

11:10 am - Where do STI's come from?

earthquake_girl
This may seem like a stupid question, but where do STI's come from, how did they originate?
I mean, I know they are transmitted by sex, but where did it start? Like, did every case of chlmydia start from one person and it spread from there and because not every single person that has it gets treated, so it continues to spread? Is it possible for it to just spontaneously occur without contact with an infected person? I'm talking specifically about about chlmydia in this case. For example, say I was tested 6 weeks/months ago with negative results and had no sexual activity at all since that test, would it be possible to suddenly have a positive test? What if two people were tested with negative results and only had sexual contact with each other, no one else, and six weeks later both tested positive. Would it be possible to have gotten it from each other?
I'm just curious, a friend and I got into a conversation about STI's and transmission and I realized I had no clear idea, other then STI's are transmitted through what is termed 'unsafe' sexual activity, and I wondered if it was possible for STI's to spread though 'safe' sexual activity as well.
Are there emerging STI's that we've not heard much about yet?

1:20 am - Hymen

wham_sam
  So, I have been doing some research. I have a really weird "hymen" problem! I think I once had a Septate Hymen. Where there is still a band of hymen tissue connected down the middle, because when I was younger I always used to get tampons stuck on it. Now I think that it has broken. For the past almost year I have had these two pieces of tissue, that have no feeling that I can see in my vagina, and when my boyfriend fingers me they like come out! It's so embarrassing. 

Am I alone with this? Does anyone know how to get rid of them?

 

Thnx!

8:30 pm - Birth Control

jscanla
Hi everyone!

I'll get right to the chase. I was previously on Tri-cyclen lo for two years. I was put on it to help my cramps and to be able to know when I would be getting my period and such, as I was still a virgin when I started it. But recently I was getting some cramps and I was spotting for two or three days past the last day of my period. So I went to the clinic and I was put on Demulen. I've only have one period so far with this new pill and I had no spotting, and a very, very short period but I also noticed that I've been getting really bad head aches and cramps. When I was getting cramps on Tri-cyclen it was one week before my period, and no problems when I was actually menstruating. But while on Demulen I'm getting cramps during my first and second weeks of starting the new pack. I'm on a three month trial with it, that's why I haven't gone back to my clinic to make ask them because I'm not sure if this is my body just adjusting on the new pill and it will work itself out, or is it a bad reaction with me?

Thanks so much.
