Matt B responds: Yes, you can have sexual intercourse before you have your first menstrual cycle. Getting your first period is the sign that your body is biologically capable of reproduction. This usually happens before your body is physically and mentally ready for sex, but sometimes can happen as late as 18 or 19 years of age. Ask your GYN if you are concerned about developing late, they may be able to assess your situation much better than I can from your questions alone. Young women typically have their first period between 12 and 18 years of age, and having it slightly before or after this is not terribly uncommon.

Matt B responds: Different people are sexually stimulated in different ways because the areas of our brain that control sexuality and our social conditionings are all slightly different. Society determines if these desires are moral or immoral, and often we are free to explore these desires but choose not to because of fears. You might not be surprised to learn there are many people like you who either enjoy group sex or are interested in trying it. Whether you explore these possibilities is up to you. Should you exercise your intellect more instead of fantasizing about sex? Only you can answer that question. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with fantasizing unless it becomes disruptive to your lifestyle. As far as infidelity goes, that is between you and your partner(s). If you feel being in a committed relationship while exploring alternative sexuality is okay, then you need to discuss it with your partner and see how they feel. Otherwise, fantasies that remain just that are harmless. Comment on this question 26 Jul 2003 | Is my sex drive too high?
Matt B responds: I'm 24 years old, and my sex drive is very similar to yours, so I wouldn't say you have an outrageous sex drive at all. Some guys I know admit to masturbating several times a day. The range is quite varied. As far as decreasing your sex drive goes, not including certain drugs, there isn't a whole lot you can do at your age besides perhaps changing your lifestyle slightly to accomodate fewer activities that might lead you up feeling the need to relieve your sexual tension. Comment on this question 24 Jul 2003 | Rawness and rash after sex
Matt B responds: Do you know what might be causing you both to get raw in the first place? Is it a tight-fit, high-friction action? If this is the case you should consider using lubes. If the rawness does not heal and exhibits unusual behavior such as your boyfriend's symptoms, you both should definitely consider seeing a doctor. Comment on this question |
