So trim or shave them or leave them as is (because body hair is natural)-however you prefer. And if you're worried about what your partner is going to think, know this: Being comfortable with your body is going to feel so much better than what your pubes look like. There is no right or wrong here-it's all about how you feel comfortable. Just like you don't dress in exactly the same clothes as your friends, you don't have to keep your pubes exactly how they have them either. Q: Is it better to shave off all your pubic hair or to keep most of it and trim it?Ī: The best thing to do with your pubes is.whatever you want! Seriously, they are yours, so the ultimate decision is up to you. Finally, for all its magic, sex can have downsides, such as an unplanned pregnancy or STD, so make sure you're protecting yourself against those. Other important things-like trust and mutual respect-need to be in place too. Because having sex can be so emotionally powerful, it's easy to get hurt. You can feel physically ready for sex but not be in the right relationship for any number of reasons. It's normal for teens to have strong sexual feelings, but it doesn't always mean you have to act on them. It's not just physical, it can be emotional too. How do you know when you're really ready to have sex?Ī. There's a lot of pressure and it might take you a few times to figure out what you and your partner enjoy. But if you feel totally comfortable and cared about, and sex is something that you truly feel ready for, then yes, it can be an amazing experience! With that said, for some people it can still be a little painful or awkward the first time, and that's totally normal too. If you're not ready to have sex, or you're doing it in the wrong relationship or with the wrong person, you'll be worrying about it way too much to enjoy it. It's impossible to separate the act of sex from the person you're doing it with-or the person you are. I'm a virgin and curious-is that really true?Ī: Yes, sex can be fun and feel good, but it's not true that sex just "feels good" across the board and in any situation. Q: Everyone says that sex is fun and that it feels good.

In general, though, if you're experiencing a lot of pain during sex, talk to your doctor. Sometimes it'll be uncomfortable for the first few tries, and then it will start to feel better.

And of course, couples should always use a condom every time they have sex to protect against unplanned pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Sometimes you may not be aroused (or you're feeling nervous) so your vagina won't be lubricated enough for a comfortable experience. Some feel discomfort when the hymen stretches or tears, which can cause a little bleeding. For some people, there's no pain whatsoever for others, sex can be uncomfortable. Tell them, "I really like you, but I'm just not ready for this." If they have a problem with waiting, you may want to reconsider the relationship because they should always be asking for consent as you start to get more intimate with one another.Ī. If this is not a step you are comfortable with, let them know. If you and your partner want to get more physically intimate that needs to be a mutual decision-not something that they decide on their own. More importantly, though, your partner should not be surprising you like this. Vaginas are sensitive and need to be treated VERY gently.


Is this normal?Ī: What you felt is totally normal. While they was doing it, it started to hurt, so I told them to stop. I was really surprised and didn't expect them to do it, but I let them anyway. Q: The other day my partner and I were hooking up, and they put their fingers inside my vagina.
