Sex Ed 101

Janet's advice: You know, for questions like this it's really difficult to get an accurate statistic. Just imagine if a stranger called you, sent you a letter, or asked you on the street seemingly randomly if you shave your pubes. You might think about how to answer or even if you want to answer at all. That said, the statistics are very difficult to come across. But a reasonable number of guys shave their pubes (some also shaving their scrotum, others not), a much larger number trims (or as I like to say, "maintains the area"), and some guys either don't or they don't need to (some guys have soft enough, short enough pubic hair that it's not particularly gross to be around if it is not maintained or not significantly maintained). In short, you're certainly not a freak or anything else weird for doing it, many other guys do it.

Kate's advice: There are many herbal supplements out there on the market, and for as many supplements on the shelves, there are at least twice as many "symptoms" they claim to improve.

The danger with taking an over-the-counter anything, especially an herbal supplement, is that the medications can interact with other things you are taking, such as a birth control pill. For this very reason, you need to check with your doctor before you start taking anything. A low libido can be fixed with something as easy as switching the brand of birth control you are on, where experimenting with other medications can actually decrease the effectiveness of your pill! So be careful, and please ask your doctor before you try to fix it yourself.

Sandra's advice: By clean-up he may just mean give yourself a quick wash with Always wipes or wash this area with soap and water, just to freshen yourself up. You'll find yourself feeling refreshed afterward too!

Think of it from his point of view; all day your walking around sweating with underwear tight to your genitals and your vagina excretes fluids which may create odors, all of this adds up to a very un-appetizing taste/smell for him.

Feel free to ask him to do the same!

Janet's advice: I really hope this isn't a serious submission. Why? Because no 12 year old should be having sex, period. If anyone has sex with a 12 year old in the United States, it is classified as rape. In no jurisdiction can a 12 year old legally consent to sex, and there is a reason for this. Even between the ages of, say, 12 and 14, there is so much social development that takes place. Look at this way, there's reason a 12-year-old can't get a driver's license and a 16-year-old can. In those four years development that helps you make judgment calls and decisions develops. On the road if you mess up, other people's lives are in danger and most governments believe that a 12-year-old might have a too tough a time making a call as to when to make that left turn, change lanes, or speed.
