Dear Betty and Carlin,

First, thank you so much for you work! You helped me finally accept myself as a sexual being. You're a great example of how beautiful women are when they're strong and sexually empowered. When I grow up, I want to be just like you two! ;-)

Dear Dr. Betty,

I have a question about vaginal infection and wish to get your expert answer. Thank You.

Doctor, I suspect myself having vaginal infection since January 2009... I visited doctor and she gave me a type of cream which called candid cream and some fluconazole 200mg tablet, the doctor also advised me to wash my genital area with salt water. However, It seem din recover after applied the cream and have the medicine...

Hi there

Thanks for such an amazing site. I am 22 years old and i am an incredibly sexual person...i have and always have had a huge sexual appetite. I have been masturbating since i was a little girl, earliest i remember was about 3...i would masturbate sometimes 10 or so times a day, includng in childcare etc. I would almost always manage to get caught, either by my mother or someone else ( i have a vague memory of being caught by a childcare giver)

Dear Dr. Betty,

I’m from Uruguay (a little country in south america). In my country it isn’t that easy to find your kind of help. My story is sad, by fortunately is having a happy ending. I’m 33 years old and I’ve lost my virginity when I was 17 because I was raped. Sadly, I was raced in a VERY catholic family and masturbation was out of the equation.

hello dr.....

m 21 yrs old ...one of my labia minora (inner lip) is longer than d other and comes out of d labia majora....is dis normal???

Dear Dr. Betty,

Okay, I really need help! When I was younger I had orgasms that when they came they were off the charts, they were so intense that I cried. Now I don't have orgasms, and rarely with masturbating. I try to fantasize about all kinds of naughty things, but nothing. I'm not comfortable using a vibrator either.

Hi Betty,

I had an interesting experience recently while playing at a swing club with my husband. This guy started playing with my vulva and said that he was going to make me "squirt". I thought that was unlikely since I'd never had it happen before. I was thoroughly enjoying the sensations and was apparently very loud. Suddenly I realize that I'm being sprinkled with something wet and realize that I am ejaculating on myself. The whole process took only about 5 or so minutes, mind you, I had been touched prior to this for sometime as well.

Dear Betty

I could really use your expert help. I am 17 and have recently lost my virginity with my boyfriend and was disappointed to find out that sex wasn’t like on TV. In fact I don’t really get any pleasure from it at all and my boyfriend, who has been with other girls, seems really shocked that I don’t really enjoy it.

To my knowledge, there is no one-size-fits-all solution for a woman to remain vaginally active long past menopause without some kind of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

Dear Dr. Betty,

My boyfriend and I have been together for 13 months. Twelve months ago, a former lover texted me asking for sex. My boyfriend was devastated, and has spent the year since that incident brooding (he’s fallen into a serious depression) and, apparently, trying to make me feel bad about my sexual past.
