WHERE’S
THE WETNESS?
I’m 16 years old and masturbate
regularly, but I don’t think I get ‘turned
on’ because my nipples don’t stiffen or
become sensitive. I don’t lubricate
whatsoever – basically I never physically
show signs of arousal. This stresses me
out. How will I have sex if I don’t
lubricate naturally? I know it’s not an
issue of being nervous or anything.Dry
Sexual arousal is an interesting thing.

might meet those criteria, but saliva is
there to wash contents of your mouth
away. Any sperm would have also had
to cling on while you ate. THEN it
would have to make its way into his

way, I think the sperm des

and it lot more than the first and
I also bled a bit too, is this normal?Ouch
I can clear something up – there are no rules about
bleeding the first time you have sex. Some girls do,
some don’t. Either is OK. It’s impossible for me to answer
your question as it would require more information and
an examination. It is possible if there is part of the
hymen remaining, it may bleed again. If it keeps
happening it should be reviewed by your doctor.Could I be...
My boyfriend recently stayed the
night and we were dry humping in
our underwear. He came but pulled
away and my underwear was not
wet on the outside. I’m on the pill.
Could I be pregnant? Worried
To get pregnant, sperm must meet
egg – that happens inside your body.
In short, as long as that semen didn’t
get into your vagina, you can’t
become pregnant. But you are on
the pill, so as long as you’ve taken it
correctly you’re covered anyway.
A word of advice for those not using
contraception: the predicament
many girls find themselves in is in the
heat of the moment, instincts may
overrule risk-management. If you
don’t stop things may go further
than you meant them to. Be
prepared – have condoms ready.Weird-looking word, huh? This term refers to getting
‘turned on’ – so your body and brain get hyped about
sex, basically. Scarleteen, the sex ed website, says you may
experience increased blood pressure, lubrication, loosening
of the vaginal muscles and increased physical sensitivity.
In short, everything gets ready for what’s to come.MOUTH-TO-MOUTH
