    Hi I just want to ask...
    If we had sex and he inject the sperm inside the vagina...
    Is the sperm going to fall off if the girl have pee after the sex
    ... just curious:)

    No, peeing after sex will not get rid of the sperm.

    If he ejaculated inside of you then there is the possibility of pregnancy and STD's.

    You should, at the very least, be using a condom. Birth control pills and a condom is even better but still not 100% effective against pregnancy.

    If we got pregnant maybe 2 weeks old is it dangerous to have sex at all?
    Sometimes we doesn't even now if we pregnant... then having sex.. is it going to kill the baby?
    Thanks

    No, having sex while pregnant will not kill the baby unless you have a medical condition where your doctor recommends that you abstain from sex during your pregnancy.

    You sound very young to me, how old are you? Are you financially, emotionally and physically ready to have a child? It's much cheaper to go on birth control than it is to raise a child.

    I'm 22 years old.
    My boyfriend want a boy.
    I scared if I didin't know if I pregnant then we had sex I scared the baby die because of the shaking we made.

    You're 22 years old, having sex and you don't have any idea how baby's are conceived or that sex, "shaking" and normal every day activities won't harm the baby?

    As for you're boyfriend wanting a boy, well, he has a 50/50 chance.

    I really think you should educate yourself on sex, pregnancy, being pregnant, prenatal care etc before you consider having a child.

    It's a bit scary that a 22 year old sexually active women has no idea how her own body works.

    I really advise that you slow down, learn what you need to learn, maybe get married before you bring a child into this world.

    Well we can try to answer your questions, but you really shouldn't be trying to have a child until you get some answers as to how your body works.

    If you are planning on getting pregnant soon there are tons of great books out there that describe the whole process, from conception to birth.

    Check out your local library or look online, they may help you better understand your body and what happens when you do get pregnant.

    In the meantime we can answer some of your questions, but you really need to educate yourself. It's sad that sex education nowadays is so lacking, not only in schools but at home.

    I have to leave now but I'll be back tomorrow and I'm sure J9 (our resident nurse) will be here too.

    Check back often for a response to your questions.

    Good night. :)

    What do we learn in health class? Sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy are important to know about, but. I have lost count of how many men I've met who think that women pee out of their vagina. There are a few who believe women pee out of their clitorus... Far too many people think that the vagina is an inverted penis...

    Maybe "sexual health" should be taught before puberty? That way kids could pay attention to the class instead of their physical reactions to the subject matter.

    Sammy, I am assuming you are from a culture much different than the Western culture.

    Now, you cannot prevent pregnancy from urinating after intercourse...

    If your boyfriend wants a boy, he is going to be happy with what he gets because there is no way to predict ahead of time what you are going to get.

    I don't know what you mean when you say "shaking" but ordinary activities, including sex, even rough sex, will not kill the baby.

    This is why much of this is covered in the schools where I am during "growth and development" in fifth grade.
    As an educator, I generally dislike a prescribed curriculum, or script, but in some cases perhaps it would be the best thing so that we can be sure all students are receiving the information they need. Sadly the information is not happening in many homes where it should be in the first place.

    However, the topics are covered widely in many women's and men's magazines, online sites, and such, so it is surprising that so many women, and men, do not have this basic knowledge. I think it is more of a case of not paying attention to or seeking out the information that is available until they find themselves in a situation where it effects them.

    Doula, we have to remember here that we are dealing with cultures that we do not personally identify with. Many countries are "no sex" countries and this is taboo.
  • Dec 10, 2008, 08:03 AM

    True... hopefully, since she has access to the internet, she will search out resources that may be available to her online to gain more information, as she has with this site, if they are not easily available from other sources.

    It's sad but even here in Canada and in the US some people really don't believe that it's necessary to educate their children about sex.

    I have a friend who is totally against talking to his son about sex. His son is 11, my 10 year old knows more at this point because I've made sure of it.

    My friend believes in letting them "be kids" they'll figure out the rest on their own. Ahhhh, it makes me want to scream.

    I think that if he spent one day on AMHD answering sex questions he'd change his tune. Figure it out himself? When? When he gets someone pregnant or gets and STD? There are some lessons you only get one shot at, sex is one of them!

    We do have sex ed in our schools, they start in grade 4 with general health, info about their bodies. I've been talking to my kids about this since they were old enough to understand english. If you make it an every day thing then there's no need for "the talk" because you've been talking about it all along.

    It's mind boggling to think of all the kids out there that have to learn on their own. :(

    It is perfectly normal to have some (may seem like quite a bit) leak back out... rest assured, plenty has remained. If it causes you concern, some women prefer to stay lying down for awhile afterwards.

    Okay here my question: Female to Female

    Is it self conscienciousness that causes women to feel like their vaginal odor is extremely strong? Not bad smelling but strong smelling. Do other women feel this way?
  • Dec 13, 2008, 09:43 PM
    spyderglass

    I do. But for some men it's a turn on too. It also depends on how strong it is too. I like to keep cleansing wipes in my purse for when I'm not too 'fresh'
  • Dec 13, 2008, 09:54 PM
    Justwantfair

    My boyfriend loves it, I love the smell, but just seems strong... LOL. Just wondered if it self-conscienciousness that makes other women feel that way too.

    You're not alone Justy, I feel the same way, but hubby doesn't, he thinks it smells great. TMI? ;)

    Probably, I mean if your armpits smelled strong you would be self conscious right? I think it is just whether you like to smell good or not! I personally don't like it when I smell strong but he does. Pheromones... lol!

    Nope, you're not alone. It's our natural odor, there's no getting rid of it completely and the men seem to like it. Myself, I can do without it sometimes, but I guess it is what it is. ;)

    I was just wondering (I'm not sure if this belongs here) for those people who have those shower heads that you cannot like... move around, like it's mounted on the wall, how do you wash your genital area well? I always had the ones with the cords, but for those who don't.
  • Dec 28, 2008, 07:37 PM

    Oh and also, you know when you put one of those pucks in your toilet bowl and the water turns blue? Well I had one of those and I was wondering if when you're urinating (or doing the other thing) and the toilet water sort of splashes onto your area, is it harmful in any way?

    Is it possible for someone to be so ticklish that they cannot participate in any sexual activity because the touch would make them crack up?

    Ok I may seem a bit naïve when I ask this but all well.

    Is it normal to not be able to orgasm at all with one person?

    My last boyfriend was my first and the only one I'd ever had sex with. And I never orgasmed at all no matter how hard he tried. I felt like I would but it never came. But with my fiancé I did on the first try. He is only the second person I've ever had intercourse with.
  • Jan 10, 2009, 12:09 PM
    Justwantfair

    The ability to orgasm for a female is based on a lot of different factors and it is very common to have difficulties at first because you are learning about your own body.
  • Jan 10, 2009, 12:16 PM

    Some women never experience orgasm, and for others it's not possible during sex itself, but only with manual stimulation.

    I have a question... I'm thinking that I already know the answer, but I'll ask for peace of mind anyway. I had an abortion on January 2 and started taking birth control on the following Sunday (Jan 4). I had sex with my husband the following wednesday(Jan 7), thursday(Jan 8), friday(Jan 9), and saturday(Jan 10). I was also taking the antibiotics given to me, but didn't completely finish them as I heard that it could mess around with the birth control. I know that the doctors say not to have sex until two weeks after, or even after the check-up.. but I did, obviously. I did use protection (condoms) most of the time, but one or two times we did not. I am freaking out, I know we should have been more responsible - but my husband left for the Marines and it's no excuse but I won't be seeing him for awhile. There's a huge chance I could be pregnant, isn't there?

    I really don't want to answer this because I really can't be nice about this, I really can't.

    You had an abortion, learned absolutely nothing, went home, had sex, not always protected and now you're worried you might be pregnant again? Of course you might be pregnant, sex=babies, if you didn't know that before, I'm telling you now.

    Abortion should not be used as a form of birth control.

    The only advice I can offer you is to have your tubes tied or for your husband to have a vasectomy, this will prevent pregnancy.
  • Jan 13, 2009, 01:55 PM
    DoulaLC

    Huge chance?. no. A chance?. certainly.

    More than likely you are not pregnant for several reasons. The very recent abortion... using condoms (at least most of the time)... starting the birth control pills (albeit for a short time)... and the fact that the odds of a couple getting pregnant who are actually trying in one cycle are low.

    You will have to wait and see what happens. Not sure why you chose the pill when your husband was leaving so soon, but do be sure you are better prepared when he returns.

    OK well I don't know if this is still opened so I will ask my question and if it doesn't get answered I guess its not opened anymore.

    After my daugther was born I breast fed her for 8 months, until my milk dryed up. For about 5 months after I sometime got like clear discharge that came out of my nipple(kinda likeright before my milk came in when I was 35 weeks pregnant) After the 5 months nothing came out anymore. Its been about 10months since I had anything come out of my nipple. Now my husband and I are trying to conceive again and I noticed about 4 days ago I have the clearish discharge from nipple again! I don't know if its because I am pregnant because I didn't get this discharge stuff with my first daugther until I was at least 25 weeks pregnant! What is going on with my boobs?

    I am sorry it was so long!

    This could be caused by a number of things... infection, rise is prolactin hormone, and pregnancy, among some more serious concerns.

    Usually this does not happen early in pregnancy, but it can. Please discuss your concerns with your doctor for a proper diagnosis.

    WifeofMarine you make me very sad! Im not one to judge but how could you abort a child that you and your husband made together out of love? And DO NOT say because your husband is getting deployed because my husband is also a marine and he was gone for my first pregnancy! DO you know how many military wives do it without there husband?! Im sorry but HOW DARE YOU! SO you are right! Him leaving IS NO EXCUSE!
