Can you curve your penis from your masturbation technique?

As far as I know, I have never had a G-spot orgasm nor have I ever ejaculated. However, I do know many of my orgasms have been deep, powerful and satisfying. I've also enjoyed those little ten minute maintenance orgasms that release tension. 

I am still very much attracted to women, I only masturbate to female porn, and I would really like to have another female encounter.

Tiny Pink Bump on My Vulva Has Me Worried

Hi,

I've been very worried lately. About two or three weeks ago, a guy stimulated " fingered me" but before any of that, I have shaved and, after he did it the next day and day after. I shaved when I felt hair down there.

Now a couple days before my period I got this little pink bump, on the outta lip of my vagina where I had shaved. it doesn't really hurt. I'm scared I might have a std. Btw I'm a virgin too so I'm so scared.

Dear A,

Sometimes When I Penetrate My Vagina I See White Stuff

Dear Dr.Betty ,

I am 16 years old and started masturbating when I was around 12 years old. I still haven't had sex but I do penetrate my self with a small bottle of cream (that's empty) when I masturbate, and I've noticed recently that every time I finish, when I take out the bottle it has white stuff on the end, some times its clearish then others its like straight up white; that sort of looks like cum. it doesn't happen every single time I masturbate but it happens frequently; could it be uti or vaginal infection ???

Can Your Clitoris Atrophy If You Don't Masturbate?

Dear Betty,

I recently found your website and have been learning loads. I have been trying your techniques and though I am still working on it, I am super hopeful. There is tiny part of me thats a little worried.

I am 30 and have not masturbated for long period of my life. When i was younger i felt shame from it and resisted the urge....a little part of me worries i cant orgasm because of clitoral atrophy! I feel silly as its probably my own neurosis, but given that im only very recently sexually active I worry I may have started this journey too late.

I Love My Menstrual Cup

Hi Betty,

I would love to share with all the ladies on this site the wonderful news about Menstrual cups. I just bought one this cycle, I love it. I am 22 have been menstruating for 11 years and this is the first time I have used something other than tampons and pads for cycle.

Cotton is THE heaviest pesticide treated crop in the world, and we are putting that into the most intimate, sensitive area of our bodies! And don't get me started on the bleaching chemicals they use!

My Boyfriend Won't Go Down on Me

Dr. Betty -

I recently found your site and thought that if you had the time, you could help me with a problem that I've had for a while. I know masturbation is more of your thing, but if you wouldn't mind giving me advice on safe oral sex, it would be much appreciated!

Are Women That Different From Men Sexually?

Dear Dr. Betty,

There are many articles to be found on the Internet, which explain the differences between men and woman when it comes to sexuality. Men are like this, while women are like this... to turn on a man you must do THIS, to turn on a woman you must do THIS... But are (we) women really THAT "different" from men? Our genitials "work" in the same ways, don't they? And we have also sexual desire? And we may orgasm as fast as men (if that's even a point!), if done RIGHT. Or?

It's Getting Harder for Me to Orgasm During Oral/Manual

I’m 47 and very sexual. I have been all my sexual life. I got married when I was 21. I have two kids. All my married life I have never been able to have an orgasm without using a vibrator. Over the 27 years that I have been married, I have tried to get my husband to learn how to please me.

Is It My Natural Anxiety or Repressed Feelings Keeping Me From Enjoying Sex?

Dear Betty,

I'm an 18 yr old girl and I have anxiety and adhd which do go hand in hand. It's genetic and comes from my mom who is very supportive and i can talk to her about almost anything. In my early puberty i became very religious and active in my church. For the past year i've changed my perspective a lot and i don't agree with a lot of christianity or at least the way they conduct it. I'm not athiest and still trying to figure things out for myself so i'm just calling myself agnostic right now.

What Household Items Can I Use to Practice Penetration?

Hi Betty,

I have never had penetration before but I want to try doing it myself. I don't have access to a vibrator or any sex toy. Will a mini cucumber with a condom on do the job? What other house hold things can I use?

Dear L,
