Sex therapists use an assortment of evidence-based treatments to help people improve their sex lives. Most often, they use psychotherapy (commonly known as talk therapy), which involves building a talking relationship to establish and assess your feelings, thoughts and behaviors.

@Sexologist_DrKalps Hi..Experiencing discomfort down there, but discussing it feels awkward due to our society. How do I push past this discomfort and get help for my sexual health without feeling embarrassed? I am a lil awkward in these as I know how even doctors look at us if we take any problem related to this before marriage.

So see I understand that we have always told that it is bad or something wrong to talk about sexual health. However there is nothing to be embarrassed of in it. It is just a natural process that everyone goes through. There should be awareness about it. Don't be scared of consulting a doc if you face any discomfort. visit the doctor before it worsens your problem.

There are indeed social factors and stigma that can contribute to women feeling hesitant to express their sexual desires or pleasure. Societal norms, cultural beliefs, gender roles, and historical attitudes toward female sexuality can all play a role in creating an environment where women may feel judged or shamed for being open about their sexual desires or enjoyment. But to get over it, you have to take efforts. If any doctor is making you feel ashamed of this, first of all change the doctor. You can consult me or any Sexologist without any hesitation. The place from where you came, your partner goes in and your kid is going to come inside this world, how it could be a disgusting organ? So Educate Yourself first. Practice Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself and remember that seeking help for your sexual health is a brave and important step. Remember You're Not Alone. Talk to close Friends or Trusted Individuals from family. Find a Trusted Healthcare Provider to give you Treatment.

Hey. Hope you are doing well. I completely understand what you are going through. It can be tough talking about this with a judgy doc. In that case, make Sure you research well and see which doctor suits your needs the best. If it doesn’t work out, you can always change the doctor. Not all will be like this. Also, engage into some psycho education. Find resources of sex education and you will see how normal it is to talk about your sexual desires and issues. Practice self love and speak to a trusted person.

Sex is not for trial and error dear. It's a emotional need of any teenage or above person. You have such feelings when you meet someone special, those feelings will automatically take you to next step whenever it should happen. And about your so called friend, you are not a baby doll to try by him. Those who tell any girl be physical or we will break up are just using them for their physical need. Once they use you, they will throw you out of their life and you will be shattered into pieces. it's not like that,If you do not hurry, you will miss the train! Maybe he is not your man! Keep searching from heart, in coming future you will definitely get your prince. Till then just keep yourself sustained. So Don't hurry!

Is oral sex possible during periods?? My boyfriend wants to try it out
If you both are comfortable, then go for it! However, consider going for a dental dam as infection during menstruation is high! You can consider using a menstrual cup or a tampon to avoid leakage. Infact, for a lot of people, arousal during menstruation is high and period blood acts like a natural lubricant!
Anonymous10d
Just use oral dams for protection because the risk of developing infections is very high during menstruation 🩸

#HealthCheck What are some common signs of an STD? Do all STDs have physical signs? The key to remember is most STDs can be treated through medications. Check in with your doctor at the earliest if you have any signs of an STD.
Yes, these are some symptoms, but there are possibilities that you might not have any symptoms for some days still you have STI. In some cases symptoms appear after window period just like in HIV infection. Some infection may remain silent and will make trouble to your partner/when you become weak on immunity level, they will start appearing. Women may experience the following symptoms also: Burning or itching in the vagina A discharge or odor from the vagina Pain around the pelvis Bleeding from the vagina that is not normal Pain deep inside during sex Sores, bumps or blisters in the vagina, anus, or mouth Burning and pain with urine or with bowel movements Having to go to the bathroom often warts/skin tags around genitals Some STI can give you cancer also like HPV infection. So never underestimate STI. whenever you have any of these symptoms, always consult with gynec or Sexologist. Get yourself tested If you have multiple partners always use precautions(condom/ female condom).

I'm (happily!) sexually active with my boyfriend, and let's just say oral sex is a pretty regular part of our routine. Recently, I came across something about dental dams and... honestly, I wasn't sure if they were just for specific situations or if it's something we should be using every single time. I know they can help prevent the spread of STIs, which is obviously important. But is it overkill to use one every time? Do they, like, decrease the pleasure for him? Please help thanks
Are you also doing penetrative sex also? Because then you have to use condom also. If you and your partner are involved physically with each other only and don't have multiple partners, then get both of you tested once and make it clear that no one from you are having any STI. Then you can enjoy this as it is without dental dam. But if any one of you are with more than one partner, then it's better to use it every time. Also yearly testing can be done if you want to be sure always. It's always better to take precautions to avoid consequences. Though it's not liked by you, it's better for you.

I understand your concern but protection is also important.

In a lesbian relationship we tend to run of things to have fun with. Are there any particular pleasure toys that me and my girlfriend can use as we belong to the same gender. We are new into exploring our sex lives together, and want to get more pleasure?
Though you can try all sex toys for females as a whole. But there are some sex toys which are specially designed for lesbian couples. Sex toys for lesbian couples : Strap on dildos: Allowing you and your partner to enjoy hands-free penetrative sex and power play. Strap on harnesses: Pullover like conventional panties, this new generation of harness easily hosts the sex toy of your choice in the O'Ring. Double dildos: get double the pleasure. It's an insertable end held inside the vagina by squeezing one’s PC muscles, leaving the longer shaft free to explore. Vibrating dildos for clitoral stimulation: Different styled wands with or without vibrators Only thing is search for it, know the manual and have open discussion about it with your partner. Also purchase from genuine sellers, it should be made up of medical grade cilicone.
There are plenty of pleasure toys designed specifically for same-sex couples! You could try strap-on harnesses with various attachments, double-ended dildos, vibrators, or even bondage gear if you're into that. It's all about experimenting and finding what works best for both of you. Just make sure to communicate openly and have fun exploring together!
