Hello Betty

I'm 26 and just discovering my sexuality. I know it is embarrassing but I'm delighted about my journey. I've only ever been able to orgasm with a vibrator and most successfully the hitachi. I masturbate daily now and it feels good but I never get the big Os without the vibration. I can't seem to climb the orgasm hill without it. Its like my body is an engine that can't get seem to start.

What exercises can I do to improve my sensitivity? I know PC muscles, and learning to breath, letting go of expectations?

Dear Dr. Betty,

I know women joke around & say that they wish men would last longer. Well in my (admittedly low) sexual experience most women can only take about 20 minutes before they are worn out. Wheras i take a minimum of twenty minutes but i usually take 45-80 minutes to climax don't get me wrong i orgasm every 10 minutes or so but i take to long to ejaculate. & it is NOT death grip syndrome because in a loose vagina i cum faster than i do in a tight one.

Hello,

I have a question - what is sex positive feminism? For example, how would you describe it what is it I want to write an article on Scarleteen about why I am a sex positive feminist and I also want to explain why having not having sex does not make you a slut or a prude or whore? I am really passionate about writing this article so I would appreciate if you could help me I really would value your advice thank you.

Apologies if the question is confusing.

Hi L,

Hi Dr Betty,

Let me preface this by saying I have a very unique situation, but that I feel many women out there with asymmetrical breasts might go through the same feelings I experience.

Dear Doctor Betty!

First of all I must say I am a big fan of yours. First time I saw you and Carlin was on the Norwegian show Trekant (I am Norwegian), and since then I have been a fan. I think it's great how you help women discover their sexuality, and thanks to you I am finally starting to discover mine, without being ashamed of it. So thank you for that!

Dear Dr. Betty,

I had breast cancer at age 35 and a recurrence at age 41. I am now 44 and living with advanced breast cancer. My problem is that I had my ovaries out because my cancer is sensitive to estrogen. I am therefore in menopause and have developed what my GYN calls "vaginal atrophy," dried, thin vaginal tissue that makes penetration painful.

I also find it difficult to orgasm. My doctors have said that I shouldn't take estrogen treatment because of my cancer. Is there any other way that I can rejuvenate my vagina to make intercourse enjoyable again!

Hello Dr. Betty,

As the subject stated we are considering playing with others. I am the male in the relationship, and could use some advice.

First off, we have been together for nearly 9 years and have always been very close. I quickly had to tackle my jealousy issues as she has many male friends and I have always supported her and trusted her. She has been fine with me and female friends, and in fact was fine with me living with one of my old crush's for a few months due to work.

Hi Dr. Betty!

Hi there,

I suffer from Ankylosing spondylitis and have searched online for help with positioning to help me feel comfortable during sex.

My partner says that she is happy, but I mostly use my hands, mouth and the occasional toy, which I am happy with too and it brings enjoyment and pleasure for my partner. But, I would like to just have regular penetrative sex sometimes, but It can be difficult and uncomfortable and painful for me as I have limited movement in my back, hips and pelvis and no movement in my neck.

Hi Betty,

I am a sixty year old male and a long time fan of yours. Your clip clearly points out the importance of a good diet for having good sex. Everyone is different and nutritional requirements will vary with your age and sex. But clearly we are what we eat! I have a background in the food industry. The following is a brief dietary summary guide line. Thanks.
