Anal Sex

Why do people enjoy anal sex? Anal sex is enjoyable because of the rich body of nerve endings in the anus. While people often experience pain when first attempting anal sex, as a person learns to relax, the pain often subsides into pleasure. For men, anal sex also offers stimulation to the prostate, an organ that provides the rush of pleasure during orgasm. Anal sex for many seems like a taboo activity, and much of society still shuns it. But statistics show that roughly 35% of heterosexuals and 50% of the gay community practice anal sex at least occasionally.

How can I enjoy anal sex? One partner should lubricate or place a lubricated condom over his or her finger. Take the finger and arouse the surface of the anus, perhaps making small circular motions as you go. Always pay attention to your partner to indicate whether or not he or she feels comfortable. Slowly attempt to push your finger (or plug) slightly inside the anus. Do not use force - stop immediately if your partner complains of discomfort. If it is difficult to enter the anus, you probably need more lubrication. The first time you try this, the receiver may feel a bit of pain. Anal sex is not for everyone, and if you feel uncomfortable stop and perhaps try again later. Think of this process as training for later anal encounters. Even a finger can provide intense stimulation when it is inserted in the anus.

Once you have tried penetration with a finger a number of times then you can move towards something that is a bit larger. First you have to decide on what type of anal stimulation that you enjoy. Do you enjoy the movement of a finger, the fullness of a plug, or the feeling of entry and withdrawal? You may wish to proceed by being penetrated with your partner's penis or by using an anal toy. For those who enjoy the feeling of penetration more than motion or vibration, try butt plugs which are designed specifically for this purpose. A butt plug sits inside the anus, and is not generally used for thrusting back and forth. If a plug interests you, we suggest the Big Flirt. This beautiful toy is made of pure silicone and features a graduated design. The texture is unrivalled. It's soft but resilient and retains body heat. You won't find a better plug. We're confident you'll love the feel of this toy.

How to make anal sex safer? Anal sex can be a perfectly safe activity as long as you take the necessary precautions. You should remember that your anus and rectum do not have their own natural lubrication nor the kind of elasticity the mouth and vagina enjoy. That is why anal sex must be practiced with care. There are three things that should always be used whenever anal penetration is taking place; lubrication, condoms and common sense. Liberal amounts of lubrication are necessary because the rectal wall can be quite sticky and is subject to tearing and lesions if not kept lubricated. In addition, the anus and rectum are narrow, so lubrication is needed to press inside smoothly. Condoms are another necessity. Enemas, douches and other cleaners will not be able to get all the germs and bacteria out of the rectum. Not only is anal sex facilitate the transmission of STDs better than any other form of sex, it can also cause urinary tract infections and other bacterial diseases. Latex protection is essential, and can offer additional slickness. Finally, use your common sense. The rectal wall curves and is thin so long, hard objects can tear your insides. Don't wear any jewellery on your hands, and cut your fingernails if you are going to put your finger in someone's anus. Most importantly, respect your body. Don't push the limits and go only as far as you feel comfortable.

Positions : The best positions for anal sex depend largely on what stage you and your partner are at in your experiences. Rear entry or the "doggie style" position is the one position most people associate with anal sex. However, rear entry allows a penis or anal toy to penetrate most deeply, and may not be the best choice for the beginner. A good starting position is the "spoons" position, with each partner laying on his or her side, one behind the other. This prevents the penetrating partner from going too fast, and allows complete control over penetration. It also brings you closer to your partner, making it easier to judge his or her reactions to what you're doing.
Another position for anal sex is a variation of the missionary position. The receiving partner lays on his or her back while the penetrating partner approaches from on top. The penetrating partner lifts up the calves or shins of the receiver, exposing the anus. This can be an especially intimate position, with both partners facing each other. The ‘top’ partner can masturbate the other and is open to massage and cuddling as well.
Finally, rear entry offers another possibility for anal penetration. This position allows the penetration to be the deepest, and permits the receiver to better open the anus for entry. Rear entry doesn't offer the kind of intimacy or ease of communication that the other positions do, but for more advanced lovers, can offer the greatest amount of thrusting and penetration.
There are many more positions and techniques to try. Many people discover new and exciting positions through experimentation, and most people find the one that best suits them. Good communication is the key to such discovery, and a manual or video can help as well.

Female Masturbation : Why and How

YES, IT'S TRUE -- females masturbate, too. Although females may not feel the same physical urgency to masturbate as guys (at least not as often as guys), they definitely experience sexual arousal, particularly during puberty. It is often not only a physical experience but an emotional one as well. Remember all of those screaming, crying girls at the Beatles' concerts? That was a heavily hormone-influenced response.
Many women, whether they have masturbated or not, feel embarrassed or ashamed about masturbation. It is not usually a subject shared with your girlfriends. Some girls, anxious to please their boyfriend or to try expressing their own sexuality, will have sexual intercourse long before they are ready to deal with the emotional impact that goes with it. Masturbation is a healthy way for females to satisfy their sexual feelings and learn about their own sexual response. It is particularly important for a woman to understand her own body and sexual response, because it is not something that will be learned from a male lover For this reason, it is not surprising that many women have been sexually active for years with male lovers but have never experienced an orgasm. This is a tragedy -- and it definitely reinforces the importance of a woman being in touch with her own body and sexual response.

Why do girls masturbate? The simple answer, which is good enough for many, is that it is pleasurable, but that excludes many of the recognized and claimed benefits. Below is a short list of the more significant of these:
1. Its pleasurable !
2. It helps you relax - safer than tranquillizers, cheaper than alcohol and no side effects
3. It helps you get to sleep if you are suffering from insomnia
4. It can make you feel 'energized' and focused, making study or concentration related tasks easier
5. It gives a degree of relief from the physical discomforts many feel during periods
6. It allows you to find out what you like so that you can share your needs with a partner and have better sex
7. It is always available when sexual tensions need releasing - not always true of partner sex
8. It allows you to have as much gratification as you want, when you want it and at your speed - partner sex cannot compete
9. It takes the pressure off your partner as he/she is not the only source of your orgasms
10. It is the one form of sex with no risk of disease, pregnancy or emotional upset
11. It fits in with your life - unlike partner sex
12. It often results in more powerful and longer orgasms than other forms of sex.
13. It allows you to fantasize and act as you want - please yourself not your partner
14. No partner/audience (usually) means you can be less inhibited in your use of toys and any other item you may personally find erotic
15. You can do it at your pace and can spread it out as long as you want. Longer periods of pre-orgasmic arousal can often result in better and more satisfying orgasms.
16. It saves time when you need an orgasm - no need to find a partner - and less risk of getting involved with a jerk just because you are desperate.
17. It's free!
18. Masturbation to the point of orgasm appears to put less strain on the heart as measured by an increase in heart rate than does partner activity that results in orgasm.

The Basics Of Female Masturbation
Time, mood, place. One of the most important things to realize when masturbating is that you need to be relaxed and undistracted in order to really enjoy the experience. Think of this as your time. Take the phone off the hook, lock the door and spend some quality time with yourself. This is not always easy as it sounds, especially if you have kids and a hubby, but I really can't stress enough how important it is to try to find time. Women fill so many different roles, are many things to many people, that it's easy to forget that you are also a person. Taking time for yourself is not being selfish and is not something you should feel guilty about. Everyone needs to take some time away from the rigors of the outside world once in a while.
How you find this time is up to you. One of the ways is to go to the one safe haven in our house, the bathroom. It has a lock; it has a shower and a nice long tub for me to lie in. I can light candles or leave the main light on, I can read a book in peace and I have a very good masturbation tool in the showerhead as well as a pair of hands at my disposal. [One word of warning here if you normally masturbate with a vibrator, please make sure it's waterproof before using it in the bathtub or shower, especially if you normally use an electric one!! I'm told that electrocution is not a pleasant experience!! ]
Another option is of course the bedroom. You may want to consider putting a lock on the door, so you can completely relax without fear of intrusion. Again you have a ready-made multitude of tools at your disposal here to aid your experience if you so wish. Most bedrooms contain a mirror, in many cases a full length one. All contain pillows that can help with positions; most have a cabinet for stashing lubricant, sex toys and erotic books.
Both of the above are great options for settings and you can always dress them up for the occasion. By this I mean change the bed linen to your favorite, have some music playing in the background, light some candles, basically find an environment that you can really relax and be comfortable in. The truth is the more time you put into the preparation the more you'll get out of the experience. I find it also makes me look forward to what's to come more; the anticipation of spending time alone with myself is sometimes half the fun.
So your room is set, your candles lit and now you're wondering what the hell to do next...
Although many of the techniques listed in this section of Clitical are tried and tested, it's important to remember that none of them are guaranteed. Just because something works for one women doesn't mean it will work for another. The secret here is to really lie back take the time to really get in touch with your own body. Many women are uncomfortable with the sight of their own naked bodies. One way in which you can begin to feel more comfortable about your own body is to stop comparing it with others. Remember that each of us is individual and our bodies are a simple reflection of that individuality. Getting comfortable with your own body is an important first step to a better sex life and masturbation can aid in this.
If you're one of the many women who feel uncomfortable about taking your clothes off and seeing yourself naked there are a few simple steps you can take in the comfort of your own bedroom to help overcome this. Remember that mirror I mentioned earlier, now is a good time to go and stand in front of it. Slowly begin to undress and watch each part of your own body as it's revealed to you. Once your completely undressed, begin to stoke your body, maybe caress your neck, still watching yourself in the mirror, now slowly beginning to move your hands down your body towards your breasts, still watching. Keep doing this and take it slowly, step by step and you will find that you will become more comfortable with not only the look of your own body but also the feel of it. You may even discover erogenous zones you didn't even know you had!!
Once you're naked, pull up a chair and sit on it's edge with your legs open and take a good look at your genitals in the mirror. See all those folds and curls? They are what make you as unique as the shape of your nose or the color of your eyes. No two vulvas are the same and taking the time to get familiar with yours is time well spent. In order to feel comfortable masturbating, you need to understand your anatomy, what it does and how it can make you feel. Try pulling your labia gently apart and examining your clitoris and vaginal opening. Try gently stroking your clitoris and watch what happens in the mirror. Insert your finger into your vagina and see how it feels, some women enjoy the sensations but many don't, just remember there are no wrongs here! Just gentle exploration and getting to know yourself a little better. This is your time and no one else, so there is no pressure and no reason to wonder if what you are doing is right. If it feels good to you then you're doing it right is the general rule of thumb when it comes to self-love.
Below are some basic techniques you might like to try as you explore your body a little more:
Place your thumb and forefinger on either side of your clitoris and gently roll it between your fingers. Start slowly and gently and explore until you find the speed that works for you. A variation of this technique is to use both hands and roll your outer lips between the fingers. If your clitoris is sensitive to the touch this can be a great technique to try.
With two fingers placed directly on your clitoris move them in a circular motion. As always try varying the speed and position of your fingers.
Try drawing circles around your clitoris with your middle finger. Again a great technique if you have a sensitive clitoris like many women do.
Trace the alphabet on your clitoris with your index finger. Another great way to discover how certain stokes may affect the sensations your body can produce.
You may like to try placing a finger inside yourself and thrusting it back and forth. A little lubricant can be useful here. Then take your fingers and tap them gently against your clitoris. Vary the speed and intensity of each tap, if you're playing music listen to it's beat and try to develop a rhythm.
Try changing positions. You'll most likely be surprised just how different the sensations of all the above techniques change as you change position. Try sitting, standing, squatting or laying on your belly as well as your back.
The key here is to have fun and become comfortable with your own body and the feelings it can produce as you explore it. This is a way of learning to communicate with yourself, get in touch with your sexual side without fear of rejection or getting it wrong because remember there's no wrongs here.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this section there are as many ways to masturbate as there are women masturbating. Being comfortable with your own body is the first and most important step you will take on this journey of sexual discovery.


Sooner or later the majority of females learn to achieve an orgasm from masturbatory activity of some sort or another. Once they find a way of 'getting off' it can be the easy option to stick with that method all the time. Though that may be fine if all you want is a surefire orgasm, 'variety is the spice of life', and a few alternative techniques may just add something to your fun. In this section we have recorded a whole range of techniques that we have tried or which we have heard of and think sound practical and fun. Feel free to try any or all of them, add to them if you want and, of course, let us have details of your special ways of getting off.
The simple truth is, there are as many different masturbation techniques as there are women masturbating, and that's more than you might think!! ,If you've never tried to masturbate before then begin by using what you have at your fingertips, umm, your fingertips, before moving onto more advance techniques and spending your hard cash on sex toys. Toys are great but there is no better way to explore yourself than with your own fingers, after all you expect your partner to!
Fingers
Most girls probably first discover masturbation by innocently touching their genitals with their fingers. Its therefore probably not surprising that hand and finger stimulation of the vulva and clitoris is reported to be the most common method of masturbation among women. It is also the easiest as nothing extra is needed for a satisfying session. So how to best do it. Nothing is ever as simple as 'one best way for all' so some real life examples picked up from various sources is possibly the best way of illustrating what is involved:
Lying on the bed facing up with legs together and ankles crossed. Index finger slipped between the labia majora so that it presses along the length of the clitoris. Gentle but firm wrist movements to make the inserted finger rub the clitoris in up and down, side to side and circular motions. Speed and strength of movement increased as excitement builds. Sensations increased by squeezing thigh muscles together at same time as finger rubbing clitoris.
Lying on back with legs drawn up and knees allowed to flop apart. Palm of hand placed on pubic mound and fingers allowed to rest on open vulva. Movement of hand to stimulate clitoris in side to side, up and down, circular and gentle pinching movements.
Lying face down on bed with both hands underneath and between legs. Fingers pressed against vulva and clitoris. Pelvic thrusts to move the genitals up and down against the fingers.
Sitting in a comfortable chair with legs well spread. Taking clitoris between the tips of both index fingers, rolling it around and pulling back on its hood to get maximum stimulation.
Water Play.
Who would have thought that two chemicals, namely hydrogen and oxygen,could be used to give you as a female pleasure, but it's true there are more ways to masturbate in water than you might think. Think bath tub here, think shower and think Jacuzzi/hot tub. All three can be used to great effect in the wonderful world magic kingdom of clitorial massage.
Shower Let's look at the most common technique which involves the use of that neat little tool, the shower head. The hand held kind are especially useful for this approach. The first thing you want to do is adjust the temperature so that it is not too hot for the sensitive area of the vagina. You can always turn up the heat once you are accustomed to the temperature. Then find a comfortable position - either sitting on a seat within the shower, or lying down in the tub. Shower stalls can be a bit confining for this form of masturbation, but there is usually enough room to sit on the floor with your legs bent. I suggest for the first time that you do this that you not stand. I've found that when I'm nearing climax that my legs tend to weaken, and we don't want any unnecessary trips to the emergency room when you accidentally slip and fall.
Now, take the shower head and let the water spray over your body, feel the tingling sensations as it sprays against your breasts. Imagine the sensations are being created by the hands of your lover and spray where you want to feel the touch. Slowly make your way down your torso to your vaginal area. Spreading your legs, let the water reach up and down the insides of your thighs, and when your ready for advancing, move it closer to your clit. Remember that direct contact with your clit may be overpowering, so try moving the water stream back and forth. Try bringing it closer, and moving it farther away to cover a larger area.
You also might note that shower massagers come with many different settings to adjust the streams of the water - everything from mist to pulse. Experiment, try them all! Start with the lightest amount of pressure and work your way up. If you are sitting, you can always operate the water with one hand, and use the fingers on the other hand to either stimulate your breasts and nipples, or you can insert a finger or two and see how that feels.
The main point is to relax and let your body feel all that is happening to it. If it feels good, keep doing it. If it's not right, try sitting in a different position, change the water temperature, try a different pulse setting anything that makes if feel better.
Bath TubNow we can move onto the bathtub. Like the shower head the bathtub holds many ways to excite and masturbate. Many women, myself included, enjoy lying on their backs in their bathtub and allowing the water from the faucet to wash over their vagina. This isn't always the easiest of positions to achieve but it can be great fun.
Fill the tub with water about halfway. Lie on your back, and bring your buttocks up so they are against or almost against the end of the tub with the faucet. Position your vagina as directly below the faucet as possible. Adjust the temperature and pressure of the water flow to your liking; you might have to tilt up your pelvis to bring your vagina closer to the water flow of the faucet. It might help to use one or both hands to spread open your labia (vagina "lips") so the water can flow directly onto your clitoris. Just one word of warning here, make sure the water isn't too hot! There is nothing worse that scolding your pussy and it certainly isn't pleasurable. Once you have found the right position, lie back, relax, fantasize, and enjoy!
"Occasionally I bring myself to orgasm in the bathtub. First I excite myself with fingers, and then I let the water on and get into an acrobatic position so my vagina is directly under the faucet. I start with the water warm or cool and at a low pressure on my clitoris. When I have gotten excited I run the water harder and lift myself closer to the water and let it pound into my vagina and then I come and it's the most fantastic feeling."
Another technique that can be fun involves filling an empty detergent bottle (one with a nozzle) or shampoo bottle with warm water. Sit in a full bath tub, ensuring your vulva is at least a couple of inches under water. Put the nozzle of the bottle as close as you like to your clitoris and squeeze. After each squeeze the bottle will spring back into shape, sucking in more water so there will be no need to stop for a refill.
Jacuzzi/Hot TubIf your lucky enough to own a hot tub/Jacuzzi,then the chances are you're already aware of the wonderful effects that the water that flows from it's jets can have on your body. I like to begin by simply relaxing in the tub and allowing the water to wash over me. At this point I'll open my mind and begin to fantasize, sometimes touching my breasts, other times just lying back and relaxing. Once my mind is aroused, I'll turn towards the water jets and position my vagina clitoris so it's directly in the path of the flowing water. A word of caution here: Never position yourself to close to the jet, as the flow of water is normally very strong from these jets. Begin by placing a fair amount of distance between yourself and the water jet and then move closer until you discover a spot that places just the right amount of pressure on your clitoris. Once you've found the right position, relax and enjoy the soothing sensation of the water as it washes over your body.

Semen Facts

Besides sperm, semen is made up of 65 per cent of fluid from the seminal vesicles, 30 to 35 per cent from the prostate and 5 per cent from the vasa. Semen contains citric acid, free amino acids, fructose, enzymes, phosphorylcholine, prostaglandin, potassium, and zinc. The amount of semen produced varies from a few drops to about 6 ml.

One amount of ejaculate may contain between 40 million to 600 million sperm depending on the volume and the length of time stored before ejaculating. Yet, the quantity of sperm produced will only cover the head of a pin. Samples used for medical study are obtained by requiring the donor to masturbate, or if a sample cannot managed without intercourse, then non-reactive condoms can be used.

The Look: Semen is usually a cloudy white fluid that within 30 minutes becomes runny and clear.
The Smell: Chlorine type smell in semen is normal.
The Taste: Slightly sweet due to fructose. The taste of semen tends to change slightly from person to person.

Abnormal Semen
Low Volume of Ejaculate : A decrease in semen, or an absence of semen from the seminal vesicle, can sometimes be due to a blockage
Watery Semen : Watery semen is usually a sign of retrograde ejaculationin which the ejaculate goes backwards into the bladder. This is not dangerous, but abnormal liquefaction of semen may also be caused by prostate abnormalities, such as prostatitis.
Thick or Lumpy Semen : The viscosity of semen can vary for a number of different reasons. Consistently thick semen does restrict the ability of the sperm to move about, so this can be important if you and your partner are trying for a baby. Volume may also be low due to low hydration, fluids used up during sex may result in a small amount of ejaculate, or if you repeat the sex act and/or ejaculate in a short period of time this will also effect the amount produced.

Color in Semen or Foul Smelling Semen

Red or Brown Colored Semen : If your semen is stained with a red or brown colored fluid it may be caused by blood. Sometimes a small blood vessel may burst when you ejaculate. Within a day or two the semen should return to its normal state, so there should be no need to worry. If it continues then you should see your doctor. Blood in semen may be present for many different reasons, such as infection, trauma and sometimes, but rarely, cancer.
Yellowish or Green Colored Semen : Normal semen may have an off-white or yellow hint to the color. Where semen is uncharacteristically yellow or greenish in color it is a sign of infection, often due to a sexually transmitted disease called gonorrhea. Go to your local STD clinic. If it is gohorrhea, treatment is simple with the use of antibiotics
Foul Smelling Semen : Foul smelling semen is nearly always a sign of infection.

The Single Fist Technique - the most popular method that is. It consists in holding the penis with one hand and so sliding it to and fro.
Paperwork - try to wrap your penis with toilet paper, then you may simulate the thrust of intercourse. Putting some warm water on the paper may heighten sensation.
Pillowing - place a pillow down on your bed or over another pillow and then thrust your penis between them. It's wise to be using a condom; otherwise you'll spend some extra cash on laundry.
Feathering - this is as funny as interesting. Use a (clean) feather, to stimulate your penis gland. It may seem weird to begin with, but with some practice and concentration you will hit the roof...
The Tip - here you're gonna use just the tip of your finger to stimulate your penis gland, by tracing circles around it, or gently tapping. That may cause a surprisingly intense orgasm and a strong erection.
Snow Cones - Just masturbate normally (or using a different technique) until you're almost there. Then grab some ice cubes or preferable crushed ice and masturbate with them. Weird as it may sound, it's really "cool".

Masturbation Technique for Women

What is masturbation?

To masturbate means to stimulate yourself in a sexual way. This can be done by hand, or with sex aids - some highly-sexed women can even do it by rubbing their thighs together. Such stimulation often leads to orgasm.
Most men have masturbated, often beginning at a fairly young age. However, many women find it more difficult than men to achieve an orgasm through sexual stimulation.
For some reason, masturbation is not as common among young girls and women as it is among men. Female sexuality may well have evolved differently and it could be said that access to the genitals - the clitoris, the labia and the vagina - is not as obvious in women as it is in men. Even so, many young women nowadays will have enjoyed masturbation prior to experiencing love play or intercourse with a partner.
The pleasure derived from masturbation differs from woman to woman. It may be that she reaches an orgasm immediately or she may simply enjoy warm, pleasant sexual feelings that stop short of a climax. In some cases, the experience can be very different from her expectations.
Nevertheless, these days people talk about sex and orgasms as if they were a natural part of everybody's life. If they aren't a regular part of yours, you could end up feeling a bit left out. Don't! Remember that you're entitled to make your own decisions about your own sexuality.
It is important for you to develop your sexual emotions, your sexual life and your ability to have an orgasm at your own speed. It is not usually a matter of urgency.
However, if you are curious, or impatient to experience an orgasm, you might have to do something about it yourself. Sex - especially an orgasm - is not just something your partner can give you while you passively wait for it to happen. You have to do some of the work yourself.

What's the best way for women to have an orgasm?
If you don't know exactly what it is you like or what it takes for you to reach orgasm, it's a good idea to practice on your own. For some people the very idea of stimulating themselves can seem so forbidding, they don't even try. But masturbation, like most things, takes practice. And the only way to learn about your own sexual response is by touching your own body.
First, make sure you're alone and won't be interrupted: you need to take your time. Begin by taking a shower, or a long, luxurious, scented bath. Soap yourself up. Touch your breasts and your genitals.
Dry yourself carefully, then rub your favourite lotion all over your body. Keep touching your body everywhere - it might be a good idea to stand in front of a mirror while you do it. Get used to the way your body looks and feels.
At this point, as long as you know that you're in no danger of being disturbed, move to your bedroom. Make sure that it is warm and comfortable. Put on some relaxing music if you like. And just enjoy yourself.
Lie down on your bed and use a mirror to look at your private and intimate places. Gently spread the lips of your vagina: you may want to use a spot of lubrication like Astroglide or K-Y Jelly or even just saliva.
Try to tighten and relax the muscles at the base of the pelvis. The feeling should be the same as the sensation you get when you need to urinate, or when you try to stop urinating.
If you find it difficult to know whether you're doing this successfully, try inserting a couple of fingers inside your vagina. That way, you'll be able to feel whether you're tightening and relaxing the muscles or not. At the same time, you'll experience the pleasure of putting something in the place where you'll eventually have sexual intercourse. In other words, you're getting used to your body and its normal functions.
If you now tighten and relax the muscles in rapid succession you will feel contractions of the kind that many women experience when having an orgasm.
You might also notice a warm sensation in your abdomen. Try touching yourself all over your body, including the breasts and your genitals where you will quickly find the most sensitive spots. In particular, experiment near the opening of the vagina and clitoris and stimulate yourself in whatever way feels best.
You might also like to try feeling inside the vagina; between the thighs; or in the area in front of the clitoris - whichever you prefer.
Try to familiarise yourself with exactly how touching yourself makes you feel. Ignore everything around you. Just think about what is going on inside you, or something else of a sexual nature.
While you touch yourself, you might like to look at something that turns you on - pictures, perhaps, a film; even a sexy book.
If, as is likely, your sexual tension rises, keep going. Don't stop even if you experience a sudden block. Carry on, and at the same time, flex the muscles in your stomach and pelvis. This often enables you to continue and perhaps you will eventually experience what is known as an orgasm.
You may not get quite as far as you'd like to the first couple of times. Stop if you don't feel like going on, then try again later, or some other day.
For some women it is not enough to just use their fingers - they like to use sex aids as well. A vibrator may be useful, or you could try stimulating yourself with the hand spray when you are in the shower. Use your fingers at the same time.
Your first experiences with masturbation and orgasm will probably be better if you have them alone. Not that there is anything wrong or embarrassing about masturbating while your partner is watching. But the first few times, it's important for you to go at exactly your own pace without any kind of pressure to succeed.
If they follow the guidelines above, almost everyone should be able to learn to masturbate and have an orgasm. But remember, they are only guidelines. Experiment, and you may well find a better way to turn yourself on.
You have to be prepared to let your partner know exactly what it is you enjoy in your sex life. Even though he or she might have had several previous relationships, you are unique. So when it comes to you, your partner is a beginner.

How to wear a condom, and why

Condoms are sheaths made of latex, available dry or lubricated. There are distinctive sizes, colors, as well as textures with ribs or bumps, or even flavors. Anything you’d care to imagine. Condoms are essential to a healthy adolescent sexuality, being the most effective method to prevent sexually transmitted diseases and to avoid unintended pregnancy. By collecting the man’s sperm after ejaculation, condoms are a 100% safe method if worn correctly.
There are several adolescent sexuality questions referring to the proper use of condoms. But before you start ripping the package, let’s us talk about storing and handling a condom.
Keep condoms at hand at all times. Haven’t you ever considered going over to your classmate’s for homework doing and o­ne thing led to another because the situation started to get steamy? Rushing out to the drugstore next door in the heat of the moment won’t be the best thing to do. It’s a part of the adolescent sexuality, the commitment of carrying a condom along, regardless whether you’re a boy or a girl. However, the most common places people keep condoms are the less recommendable. Keeping a condom in your back pocket or in your wallet may damage the package, as well as keeping in the glove compartment of a car, for instance. Store your condoms in cool dry places. If you decide to carry condoms along, change it periodically. You’re better off spending a few bucks more rather than wearing a condom that may place your sexuality at risk. And yet remember to check the expiring date of the condom. When o­n the verge of wearing a condom, refrain from rushing things up and open the package carefully in o­ne corner, ever so careful not to tear the condom with your fingernails (don’t you EVER use your teeth).
Now that you’re up in action, it’s time to start wearing such a condom. It’s pointless to wear a condom if your penis isn’t erect, so o­nce you’re ready, place the rolled condom over the tip of your penis, and then squeeze the tip of the condom between your fingers. This tip will act like an empty space to collect semen, and any air bubble left in this space may cause the condom to rip. So, with the other hand, unroll the condom all the way down to the base of the penis. If you’re planning to use some extra lubrication, be sure to using water-based products. Oil-based lubricants or other substances will break the condom. Now you’re finally o­n the go!
But work is not quite done yet. After intercourse, pull it out while your penis is still erect, holding the rim against the base of the penis, prevents semen from spilling out. And then, you can at long last, throw away the condom, wrapping it up.If a condom breaks while having sex, you should consider getting an emergency contraception (morning after pill). That will ensure tranquility for both you and partner. Remember that morning after pills require medical prescription.
By following these simple procedures you’re dodging STD and unintended pregnancies, to enjoying the adolescent sexuality without further concerns. Hold accountable the condom wear practicing while masturbating, it’s such a sensible way to master the proper use of them.

Measuring the Bra Size

The Bra size consist of two measurements - the frame size and the cup size. For knowing the correct bra size, the frame measurement and the bust measurement are to be taken. The frame measurement is the measurement around the body, taken by passing the measuring tape over the bottom end of the bra, as shown in figure 1. The bust measurement is similar measurement taken by passing the tape around the body, over the breast (nipples) as shown in figure 2. Measurements are generally taken in inches.

In both the measurements, care should be taken to ensure that the tape runs parallel to the floor around the body, that is, no portion of the tape is is up or down than the other parts.

If the measurement is taken wearing a bra, the cup of the bra which u wear should not be heavily padded. It is better to measure the size, without wearing a bra, and ensure that while the frame size is measured, no part of the breast tissue is taken in the measurement.

If the frame size (figure 1) is in even number, that is the required bra size. If the tape shows the measurement in off number, add 1 to it and the resulting figure will be the bra size. For example, if the tape measurement comes to 30 inches, the bra size is 30; if however the tape measurement shows 31 inches, the bra size required will be 32 inches.

Cup sizes are A, B, , D etc. ''A' is the smallest size, 'B' is larger than 'A', and so on. For finding out the cup size, the frame measurement is to be deducted from the bust measurement, and then the cup size is arrived at as follows, based on the difference :

difference : 1 inch... means : cup size A

difference : 2 inches means : cup size B

difference : 3 inches means : cup size C

difference : 4 inches means : cup size D

difference : 5 inches means : cup size DD

difference : 6 inches means : cup size DDD

For example, if the bust measurement is 35 inches and the frame measurement is 32, the cup size will be C, because the difference in measurements is 3 inches.

How To Avoid Date Rape

Dating is meant to be fun. It’s a chance to get to know new people and explore romantic possibilities with them. It’s an opportunity to go out and enjoy new experiences and forge delightful memories.Sadly, some people do take advantage of the situation.

Indeed, because most women extend a certain degree of trust to their dates, some unscrupulous individuals use this as an opening to impose their carnal desires upon the hapless victim. Date rape is an ever-growing social ill that increases by the number with each passing year. Statistics show that women who are between the ages of 16 and 24 are 4 times more prone to date rape. So how would you be able to avoid date rape? Here are some essential tips.

• Limit your drinking. It’s alright to drink alcoholic beverages but don’t take in too much to the point of losing your clear perception of things. 90% of date rape cases occur when the victim is drunk. It’s because in drunken stupor, people are at their weakest. They won’t be able to fight back and protect themselves against transgressors who are violating their rights. So drink in moderation. Have fun without feeling the need to pass out.

• Keep your distance. A little flirting and a little intimacy may be fun, but don’t overdo it to the point of surrendering yourself to your date. Always keep a safe distance so that you’d have the space to prepare yourself against any potential attacks. 84% of women who have been date raped say that they know their attackers. So even if he has been a great friend for many months, you can never be too sure. It’s better to be safe than sorry, so don’t ever, ever forget to always be on the lookout for danger signs.

• Consider going on a group date. Date rapes are less frequent happenings when there are more than two people who go out together. You’d feel more secure when you’ve got some female companions. You could always watch each other’s back.

• The ride home is the most critical phase of the dating process. 88% of date rapes happen on the way home. If you could, try to secure a ride with a female companion, or at the very least, make sure that you have a trusted friend with you once your date decides to take you home.

• Know your rights. For women above 18, rape is defined as forcible penetration of any part of the man’s body on the woman’s openings. By “forced,” the law means that the woman has disagreed to such an act. However, this may not always be expressed. A sexual act on an unconscious woman can also be considered as rape, since she is devoid of reason. The same goes for a woman who is under the influence of a sedative or a drug that induces hallucination or extreme moods. You have sole rights to your body, remember that. No one can violate your territorial space without your consent.

• Carry a pepper spray, a mace, or other self-defense objects with you. It is a given fact that males possess more physical strength than females. They can easily overpower you with brute force. Protective objects can help level the playing field.

Date rapes can be avoided, for as long as proper precautions are observed. Realizing the problem and the fact that it can possibly happen to you is the first step. You have to acknowledge the fact that date rape can happen to anyone, so that you’ll always be on your guard. Then and only then will you be able to accept the need for the precautions we have enumerated above.

Precautions Before Dating

Safety Precautions To Take Before Dating Someone You Met OnlineNowadays, everything and anything is done online, and that also includes dating. And it is not surprising to know that there is a robust growth in online dating sites bolstered by the steady increase of its registered members. As more and more people gain confidence in making transactions via the Internet, analysts say that people who engage in online dating are actually more willing to pay subscription or registration fees to avail of credible and safe services.

Online dating continues to appeal its users primarily because of the anonymity involved. In February 2005, an academic survey on online dating showed that 94% of those who are into online dating saw their online dates again after their first meeting, and that the relationships that formed thereafter lasted for an average of at least seven months, with 18% of them lasting for more than a year.

However, it is also this element of anonymity that makes online dating, as opposed to the usual dating practices, more potentially risky for those seeking partners. Since the usual ways of judging a person up close through his body language, physical appearance and other factors are totally absent in online dating, a psychopath could very well pretend to be your average normal guy, and a married woman can easily pass off as a single woman.

But online dating can be fun if one knows how to take heed of signs that would tell you that something is or isn’t real. The following are some of the things to watch out for:

• There is always a high probability that the person you’re talking with is married. An MSNBC research reveals that about one third of online dating service users are married! And that is on top of the fact that men and women often lie about their true civil status and age. Watch out for tell-tale signs such as when people ask for your number but not giving theirs, irregular and hurried calls, not sharing their last names although you have given yours, and give very few, if not zero details on families or friends.• People who insist on having your email at the first talk. The market for online dating is a goldmine and many dating sites have a lot of creative and stealthy ways of marketing their services. Do not give out your email address at first contact because the next time you check your email, your inbox would be full of spammed online dating messages.

• It is natural for men and women to pretend to be younger or older than their age. Anyway, these are white lies that would not be hard to miss or ignore once you come face to face with that person. What’s worse and even more traumatic is the possibility of being preyed upon by online stalkers. Try asking your potential online partner if he would be open to a first time date with a chaperon in tow, or to group dating, or to meet in a public place. If not, drop him or her. There’s something sinister about a person who wants to be alone with you in a private place during your first meeting.

• Watch out for money scams. There are just too many con artists and scam artists around the world, and the Internet is their playground. Be wary of those who try to ask money from you for whatever reason. Unless you have already met the person and have some personal knowledge about the actual circumstances, never give in to such requests. But it would be safer to cut off the communication. There is simply not a single ounce of integrity in someone who asks for money from someone he hardly knows anything about.

S H A V I N G

You looked different this morning. While brushing your teeth, you gazed into the mirror and there it was — hair sprouting all over your face. It's definitely cool, but you're not quite sure whether you want to grow that big bushy beard and moustache just yet. It's time to start shaving (as if you didn't have enough things to do first thing in the morning).
Actually, shaving's no big deal once you get the hang of it. It's quick, easy, and if you follow the tips outlined below, absolutely painless.
Razor Basics
Shaving is simply using a razor to remove the tip of the hair shaft that has grown up through the skin. Razors come in a bunch of different forms. There are standard razors that are either completely disposable or have a disposable blade that needs to be replaced regularly, and there are electric razors.
Using an electric razor can be quick and convenient, but many guys find that it may not give the close and accurate shave that a standard razor can. Although using an electric razor is pretty easy (just turn it on and move it around your face), shaving with a standard razor has a few rules to follow.
When you're using a standard razor, the most important item you need is a clean, sharp blade (the best razors have at least two blades and a movable head). Try to avoid shaving with a dull or blunt blade. At best, a dull blade will give you an uneven shave and leave you with redness, blotches, and patches of unshaven hair on your face and neck. At worst, a dull blade will remove a fair amount of your skin along with the hair! Don't be afraid of changing the blade (or the razor, if you're using the disposable kind) often. You'll be glad you did.
Shaving scrapes natural oils off your face, so the next most important item is some sort of shaving gel to keep your skin from becoming too dry and reduce friction from the razor. Pick a gel you think sounds good and give it a try. If you choose a shaving gel that is mentholated (it will say that on the label), be aware that menthol can sometimes cause a slight reaction with some types of skin and may result in red blotches. If this happens to you, don't worry. Just switch to an non-mentholated shaving cream.
Ouch!
Cuts and nicks are a part of shaving. They won't happen to you every time, but they will happen. When you nick or cut yourself, be sure to grab a clean tissue or cloth and apply direct pressure to stop the bleeding. If you've got a zit or a cut right in the middle of the area you're going to shave, it's a good idea to drop the standard razor for a while and use an electric razor or give shaving a break altogether for a few days.
Also, some guys might get ingrown hairs after shaving, in which the hair grows back into the skin. It can pierce the hair follicle, which in turn causes razor bumps. Called folliculitis, this condition can sometimes be handled by using a special safety razor, but this doesn't always work for every guy. If you experience folliculitis, talk to a dermatologist about the best way to remove your beard and moustache.
How to Shave
Before you begin, be sure to remember to rinse your razor after every few strokes. That way, the razor is cleared of any shaving cream or hair that might clog it up. Also, because the hair on different parts of your face grows in different directions, always try to shave in the direction your hair is growing (shaving against the direction your hair is growing can cause razor burn, redness, and rashes).

Now let's shave:
First, wet your face with hot or warm water. This makes the hair on your face softer and opens your skin's pores, getting you ready for a closer and easier shave. Even better, try to shave right after you get out of the shower.
Squirt some shaving gel into your hand, then apply it to your face, making sure to cover the sides of your face, chin, mouth area (around your lips), neck, and throat.
Press the razor to the area you want to shave (it's a good idea to start with the sides of your face as they're easy to handle). Use short, slow strokes and remember to move the razor in the direction your hair is growing. Don't press too hard but don't be too gentle. Find the right touch by making sure the razor is cutting the hair and not your skin. You'll know if you're being too gentle if you only remove the shaving cream and the hair is still there.
When the sides of your face are finished, move on to the more tricky spots. For areas like your upper lip/moustache area, bottom lip/chin area, and neck/throat area, you'll have to work a little. Try to stretch your skin a bit to make a flat surface, and glide the razor over those tricky areas.
When you're finished, rinse your clean, smooth face with cold water. If you want to, put on some aftershave. Depending on how fast you grow that beard and moustache, repeat the entire process in 1 to 3 days.

Irregular Menstrual Period

A normal menstrual period lasts from 2 to 7 days. The normal cycle patterns can range from 21 to 35 days. When bleeding occurs outside the regular cycle, or when periods are longer or heavier than normal, or the time between periods is longer than normal, or there is an absence of periods, it is called abnormal or irregular uterine bleeding. There are various causes of abnormal bleeding, but the most common is a hormone imbalance. At both ends of the menstrual life of a woman, periods may be irregular. Reasons for abnormal periods can be both normal and abnormal. The most normal reason is pregnancy. Hormone imbalance (not enough or too much of certain hormones) can also be a common reason. This can occur as a result of weight loss or gain; heavy exercise; stress; illness; or certain medications.
