Disclaimer: I am not stating I want to get pregnant right now regardless of my economical status or my emotional state. I am also not saying I want to get pregnant regardless of my SO or that I would hide my intents of pregnancy from him. 

Hey guys I am not really looking for help but more like looking for support. I am feeling horrible horrible baby fever. Thing is I am consciously not ready for a child... like my economy would not allow me to have a child. I barely have time for me because of the university and my job and well things are not right in that aspect. I don't have a car and getting one right now or in the near future would be near IMPOSSIBLE. I don't have insurance at the moment either... My relationship is pretty awesome and my boyfriend helps tons but he's also nowhere near for a child economically. We live together and live okay ourselves but a child would make it crazy. But this month my period was super short and even though I take my pills religiously part of me is excited to think that maybe something didn't work and I am pregnant. I feel horrible for that though =( I guess I just wanted some... support here, someone telling me I am not horrible for being excited at the prospect that maybe I could be pregnant.

Alright. So.

I'm 20 years old, and I've never had sex. I'm pretty sure I have a microperforate hymen, because I've never been able to get anything in there and when I check it out it looks like there are 2-3 small holes. I'm going to make a gyno appointment to verify it, but here's my real question: I almost always have brown discharge after I masturbate (I only use clitoral stimulation when I masturbate, so I'm sure I'm not tearing/scratching anything). Could it be blood left over from my period? I'm taking Seasonique, so my periods are once every 3 months and I still get the discharge no matter when I masturbate. Could it be at all connected to the fact that I have a microperforate hymen, or is it kind of a normal thing? I'll ask the doctor about it when I go, but I just want to see if any of you have any ideas.

Hi there!

First time poster, and I am so glad I ran across this informative community.

I have a question for everyone. Lately I've noticed I've been having a fairly strong vaginal odor. I smell nearly every time I'me in the bathroom and it's so bad that the smell stays in the crotch area of my pants and I don't even wear tight clothing. I bathe regularly, using mild, unscented soap and wear cotton underwear.

My questions are: has anyone else had this problem and were there any home remedies that worked for you? There isn't any unusual discharge and no itching so I don't think it's an infection of any kind. The smell is just strong and embarrassing and I'm really looking for some methods to get rid of it.

ETA on December 31: Thank you all so very much!! You all are so awesome! All of your answers were incredibly helpful and informative. Thank you, thank you!

Does anyone else have trouble getting off with a partner? I started having sex when I was 19. I'm 27 now and I haven't had a single orgasm with any partners. I feel like every man I've been with thinks my vag is a penis and a few strokes is all it takes me to get me going. I can't come through PIV sex and I'm so jealous of anyone who can. I enjoy the sensation but it's not enough. Mind you I've never been in a long-term relationship so that might affect my comfort level, since most guys I've been with are usually a one-time thing or at the most it lasts a couple of weeks. Anyway.....some times I just want to have sex for the sake of having sex, especially when the guy is super attractive, but I just can't seem to come and I don't know how to instruct them without hurting their super-senstive ego. Not to generalize, but every guy I've been with seems to need some kind of reassurance that they're "doing me right" and I don't know how to say "no, you're doing it all wrong" without being rude, especially when it comes to educating them about my vag. Any suggestions?

or do you think this is somehting I can only achieve in a long-term relationship, where we have time to get to know eachother's bodies better and trust eachother enough to be comfortable to try anything?

Thanks!

Lately, I've been seriously curious about the whole g-spot thing, so I started to really pay close attention to the inside of my vagina--textures, sensations, differences in arousal, etc.

The thing is, the usual directions for the g-spot make no sense to me at all. They describe it as a patch of spongy tissue that appears when aroused about 2 inches in, on the front wall. Otherwise, all the walls are said to feel the same. Is this correct?

My vagina is nothing like that. Regardless of weather or not I am aroused, I feel a patch of spongy tissue that is quite prominent on the front wall beginning immediately at the entrance and extending about 2.5 inches in. After that, the top wall is still puffier than the others but smooth like the rest. The other walls all feel the same to me, relatively smooth and thin feeling.

I feel intense physical sensation when the top spongy part of the vagina is stimulated, and can orgasm from it (and do regularly). I believe I have even ejaculated while stimulating it (though I held it back out of fear of urinating), which leads me to believe it is indeed the 'gspot'. How come I never hear about g-spots like mine? The usual way they describe stimulating it ('come hither' motion), feels like it misses the best part, and find a lot more enjoyment with a tapping or rubbing motion.

When aroused, it feels like my entire vagina swells, and sometimes this even causes penetration to hurt somewhat (but in a strangely enjoyable way). Even the insertion of a finger feels amazing, and larger objects can be out of this world.

Is this normal? I feel like maybe something is not right with me! Am I just really clueless? I never even thought anything of the top part being so different and just assumed everyone was that way, until now. Am I ignorant?

How would you describe the nature of your vagina and gspot? I loved the everyday bodies project, and thought it would be cool to know what it's like in the areas we can't see! I'd love to hear as many perspectives as possible! :)

So, I've had a vagina about three months now, and it's pretty great. There's something really bothering me though. When I pee, for whatever reason I can't seem to wipe all the pee that gets on me. Oftentimes I spray all over the place haphazard like which is both annoying and kind of funny, and I have no problem wiping the pee off my butt and any outer areas. But as far as inside the labia, I can never seem to get it all, and if I try, I end up with bits of TP in there, which can't be good.

Aftercare from this surgery involves quite a bit of dilation, and therefore bleeding, as well as a fair amount of discharge due to it being a healing wound. So they gave me a bunch of pads, and I've been wearing them ever since. Bleeding from dilation has slowed up quite a bit so I don't really need the pads for that anymore, but I've kept wearing them. I hate having to wear pads all the time, but if I don't, I end up with pee on my underwear, no matter how well I feel I've wiped. It smells bad, and I feel gross. Also I hate my damnable vagina-diapers, for they are big and diaper-y.

So, VP-ers, is this at all normal? If so, WTF am I supposed to do? I never got any training on this kind of thing as a kid, so, ya know... HALP?

I started taking oral birth control (Mercilon - desogestrel/ethinylesradiol) last Saturday, on the first day of my period as I was instructed. The previous Monday, I'd taken EHC, owing to a split condom.

Both the nurse who prescribed the Mercilon, and the pharmacist who gave me EHC told me they could either result in heavier periods, lighter periods, and spotting etc.

My period was runnier than I'm used to, and only lasted four days, however, I have been spotting for another four days since.

I've also developed a yeast infection - something I read is quite normal with HBC. However, when I bought Canesten earlier today to ease the symptoms, I read that if the YI is accompanied by a blood stained discharge, I should seek medical advice.

I had assumed that both the spotting and the YI were results of starting HBC and my hormones being freshly out of whack, rather than being related.

On top of all this, for the past few days I've just been feeling a bit queasy in general, though never actually sick.

Work is a pain in the ass of late, so getting time off to see the nurse would prove difficult, so I thought I'd run through it here. I realise this is a case of "am I normal?" and for the most part, I'm assuming yes, but I'd appreciate any input just to be on the safe side.

Are these symptoms things other people have also suffered early on in taking HBC, or is it worth getting checked out?

Color.

I have a silly question. I think.

What colors are vaginas? I've never looked at mine before. When I did just now, it was darkish purplish. I have never seen or heard of a purple vagina before, so I'm kind of worried about my health... specifically, it's like a dusky mix of purpleish, bluish, almost red. Like a bruise. Except this is my entire vagina, vulva and everything. It sort of reminds me of a body part that had been cut off from circulation for a long time...

I'm kind of worried.

I never have. There's nothing that could be done "better" or anything like that. There's nothing about it specifically that I don't like... just the texture of a tongue down there... the mere idea of it feels weird to me... it kind of turns me off.

My boyfriend now, of 8 months, really wants me to enjoy oral sex (I actually enjoy giving oral sex... I like to please him- so I understand him wanting to reciprocate) and we've tried just about everything I think anyone here would suggest. He insists that I have to be the only female to not enjoy oral sex. After having read a lot of posts here about it, I'm getting the feeling he might be right! He's really understanding about it all, and we've always been honest with each other about what we like and don't like sexually... but when it comes to giving me oral sex... for some reason he seems a little hung up on it. We've talked about it at length, but I feel like we just go in circles.

I guess I was wondering if anyone has the same aversion to oral sex... and how you cope with significant others wanting you to enjoy something that you just don't see yourself ever enjoying.

Many women describe their periods as "heavy" but there really isn't a good understanding of what that means. Science describes a "heavy period" as 1/3 of a cup or more of blood lost during menstruation. Unless you measure what comes out (and while cup users sometimes are able to do that, not everyone uses a cup or wants to use a cup, and not all cup users bother to keep track of the quantity of liquid in it) it's hard to know what really constitutes "heavy" bleeding.

This article was a very interesting discussion of what really is "heavy" and how often it happens. It talks also about how women are in tune with changes in their own cycles.

Be sure to check out the 6 point scale they use for describing the heaviness of menstrual bleeding. I think that was among the most interesting parts of the article for me.
