Most people, whether male or female, enjoy sexual interaction.  Most people like exploring a partner's body, and breasts are a major sign of femininity.  That means the breasts are an area like many people like to explore on a female partner.  But other people are more interested in the butt, legs, feet, etc.  Everyone is just a bit different … Read more

The whole "the first time is supposed to hurt" thing is just a myth.  Sex is never supposed to hurt.  When sex does hurt, it's usually your body's way of telling you that you are doing something wrong. The most common cause of pain is dryness.  Women can experience dryness at any time.  But the first time they have … Read more

Vomiting can be caused by a lot of things.  We cannot diagnose your dog over the internet.  You will have to take him or her to a vet if the vomiting does not stop soon.

Eyewatcher is right that people in prison cost us money.  There is no magical government money tree.  Money that states get or use for inmates comes from taxpayers. People make mistakes.  I'm willing to believe that people can change and learn from their mistakes.  I'm willing to believe that someone can commit a crime in a moment of passion … Read more

Inject his sperm into what?  Your body?  Are you trying to say that your husband does not want children but you want to try to use his sperm to get pregnant without his knowledge and consent?

Not all women do.  But cravings around period time are usually due to all the fluids and nutrients that we lost/are losing/are about to lose.

I have four holes in my ears.  I had one set done about 20 years ago and the other set done about 10 years ago.  The first set went fine.  The second piercing procedure seemed to go fine, but my body didn't take well to it I guess.  Even after all these years the holes fill with pus no … Read more

I could be wrong, but I would not think meth tests would be standard for newborns.  I would think they'd only do a meth test if they had reason to suspect the mother was a user.  And if she is a user, it's best that her doctor knows about it anyway.  Meth can cause a wide variety of … Read more

When I say someone is beautiful I mean that they are very good looking.  But in my opinion, even a stunningly beautiful person can be very unattractive if they have a bad personality.  So being beautiful doesn't impress me much, but being attractive does.  Because to me "attractive" means a person has a personality that draws me in … Read more

Kissing your hand is sooo different from kissing another person.  Honestly, I wouldn't bother with the hand.  I'd tell your friend to just wait until he meets someone, then practice with them!  A lot of people his age haven't kissed anyone yet, and first times often are awkward.  So he doesn't have anything to feel weird about by being … Read more
