Pain during Doggy-style

Pain during certain sexual positions... particularly doggy style. I feel a consistent subtle pain right above the panty line/lower abdomen while we do it. It isn't enough to want to stop but it has been going on for months so my boyfriend is worried. He is afraid we could be causing long-term damage if we continue to have sex in this position if it causes me pain. (I never really complained about it but since it has been going on for a while still he is very concerned.) I figure I just need to position myself differently and I've kind of tried but not successfully.

So I was wondering if we could be causing permanent damage?
And if anyone else has had this problem and solved it using a different position/technique?

Thanks so much!

Uva Ursi use? Possible bladder infection? Smell problem.

I've been to the gyno twice. Different doctors both times. Both for a 'smell' problem. The first one diagnosed me with BV, and gave me meds. The smell went away from my vag, but I realized I still had it around my urethra/clitoral area. Doctor said I had a bladder infection, prescribed me meds and the smell completely vanished. Once I was off the meds, the smell came right back.

I waited about four months before going to another gyno. I changed gynos because I went away for college, and he was the only available one. I told him I had been treated awhile ago with BV and bladder infection meds, but the smell was back. He checked me out for both. Negative for BV, Negative for a bladder infection. Sent me on my merry way. I'm not sure if he was wrong or not, but I do think I have a bladder infection.

The smell is a garlicy, acidic, butthole smell almost! Awful. It goes away if I wash around the area in the mornings, but if I go a day without a shower *phew* it is awful! It is only around my urethra and clit area. I believe the bladder infection is back, but I do not wish to seek medical treatment just yet. I would love to try to cure it naturally. How effective/safe is Uva Ursi? How much should I take to get rid of it? Should I drink cranberry juice along with it? Anyone else have this issue?

[Ah. But it doesn't burn when I pee or anything else really. Just a bad smell. The smell has been there probably since I started puberty. ...5 years ago! But I really really don't think it's just my natural body smell. Maybe I'm dehydrated? ARG. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP:)]

Yeast infection follow-up

Hey, everyone at VP. I've been taking Monistat 3, and tonight was the last night for the suppository. I was just wondering how long I'm supposed to wait between when I apply the last dose (~6 pm on Monday) and when I get concerned about seeing final results. Does anyone have any pointers as to how long I should give it before I get concerned?

I pulled out a mirror to check earlier, but when I tried to shift some things around down there, a fairly pure white liquid dribbled out of my vagina - I'm pretty sure that's the medicine, right?

glans

Here is a lengthy, rambling question and I am mostly just feeling it out to see if anyone else has had this problem and if so, what they did. The glans of my vagina has been in pain for months. It's a stabbing, burning pain so that I thought I had a UTI at first. I have been to the clinic THREE times now and she cant find any infection, but shes prescribed antibiotics just to be safe every time and those arent helping. I also took cranberry pills and AZO pills so I know its nothing to do with my urinary tract because none of that is helping. It's just the glans, and it is swollen and just hurts, hurts, hurts. I need to go to a proper gyno, but I dont have the money so I have just been seeing a female doctor at the free clinic here.
I have googled the hell out of it and all I can find is alot of articles about smegma and I am about 100% that isn't my problem.
I can't think of anything that would be behind it, but it did start a few weeks after I stopped birth control (because BC was pointless and I wasnt having sex anyway). But that was about three months ago, so I dont see how that could still be affecting me.

Boric Acid question

I ordered some Boric Acid and gel caps.

So I've heard that its messy and that a pad should be worn. So- how messy is it? Do I really need to buy pads- or if i'm willing to change my panties would it be ok?

An Odd Question About Safety

Hello all! This is my first time posting here.

Anyways, a guy I once knew said that he put a drop of mint extract on his girlfriend's clit, and it made her orgasm immediately.

I was just wondering if this was possible and, if it is, is it safe to do that?

I know, an odd question. xD

Sneaky Makeshift Masturbation

I am at my mom's for Christmas, sleeping on the living room couch. I am here for 10 days, all told. And because I'm no longer busting my butt in end-of-semester stress, my sex drive has returned from the grave. (No, it is not a zombie sex drive.) Because of this, it would be kind of nice if I could manage to masturbate some time during this time frame.

Only, I have not enough privacy to do that here. (My mom, yes, is in the room with me now. But she is watching TV, not reading what I type. She would probably notice if I started to jill off, though.) The living room is in the geographic center of a small, sound-carrying house. It is also very visible to other family members getting up in the night. Ain't nothing goes on in this living room but that the whole house knows about it.

So, I am trying to think of ways I can manage this without advertising to the rest of my family, "HAI, AM TOUCHEE TIMEZ NAO!!!" My normal methods of masturbation involve either humping things or vibrators (but not humping vibrators, at least not usually). The vibrator in the living room is, of course, too noisy. Other fun facts, some of which I have only recently discovered:

1) Humping pillows on the couch is also too noisy.

2) The shower is shower-only. There is no handheld shower head, nor is there a traditional bathtub faucet.

3) If I try to masturbate in the shower with my Laya Spot, the hot water runs out before I climax. You can imagine what the introduction of cold water does to my orgasm.

4) Manual stimulation alone -- aka, touching myself quietly under the covers -- does not work for me. I mean, it feels fine, but it's not enough to bring me to orgasm.

Certainly, I can just put on my Big Girl Pants and deal with it until I get back home. But if there's a way for me to get off without alerting the whole house to my self-sexcapades, well, that is preferable.

Your creative input is appreciated.
