How Do I Let Guys Know I'd Like To Have Sex?

So Betty,

I am young. I've never had sex, or given a hand/blow job or anything. The farthest I've gone is made out. And, I am curious how to make myself seem available to the boys around me. How should I go about showing them that I'm not a prude little girl? But, I don't want to be seen as a whore. I just want to show men that I am willing to preform sex acts.

Thanks, A

Dear A,

Why Aren't My Nipples Sensitive During Sex?

Hi Betty,

After being with my husband for a few years, and a few other men prior, I have noticed that my breasts are not sensitive during sex. My nipples are the same way. The only time I have feeling, and usually tenderness, is "that" time. I've done some research online and have found nothing. I might not have dug deep enough, but I'm curious as to why my nipples are no fun for me.

My Clitoris was Removed. Sex is Painful.

Hello Doctor Betty,

My name is H. and I live in the United States. I am of an African descent and as a young child, I was robbed of my sexual pleasures. My clitoris was cut off in the name of tradition and now that I'm older, I'm having problems with my sexuality. I have severe pains during intercourse and a very painful menstural cycle. I am very uncomfortable having sex because I don't want my boyfriend to find out. This is really interfering with my life and I was wondering whether you could help me, please. Thank you.

Why is Everyone Scared of STIs?

Hi Dr. Betty,

First off (and I know you've heard this from me a million times before): love the site, love the work you are doing, and you are absolutely my #1 sex guru forever. I turn to you again for advice on a situation I am finding particularly difficult in my life right now.

Can I Go Back And Forth From Anal Sex To Vaginal Penetration?

Dear Dr. Betty,

I have been enjoying anal sex for some time but I won't let my partner go from my anus to my vagina so my sex sessions tend to end after any anal (sad day). I have always been concerned that I could somehow get an infection in my vagina if I bring toys or a penis from my ass to my pussy.

I keep my booty clean with enemas but it still concerns me. I would like to be able to go back and forth. Is this a real concern or can I do what I want in this respect?

Dear C,

What Am I...Sexually?

Hi Betty,

I’ve been struggling with my sexual orientation for a couple of years and am wondering, if you, knowledgeable and esteemed lady :-), might have a word or two of advice, as I don’t seem to be able to get anywhere on my own.
