Dear Sexpert,
Dear Sexpert,
My boyfriend and I had sexual intercourse for the first time. We used a condom, and one day after I showered I saw that a bit of sperm-looking liquid was coming out of my vagina, but I don’t know whether it was discharge or sperm. It was only a little bit, and it didn’t smell at all.
Dear Sexpert,
This fall will be my first time at college, and I’ve been thinking a lot about dating on campus. I can’t help but anticipate meeting the love of my life here and spending a long and bright future together, but I’m worried I’m getting ahead of myself. How should I approach a relationship as a first year?
I saw an email about groups on campus giving out free menstrual cups, and I was curious about trying one out. I like the idea of having a more sustainable option compared to tampons or pads, but I’m worried about it being messy or uncomfortable to insert or remove. I was also thinking about getting an IUD soon and was wondering if the menstrual cup would interfere with it.
I can’t wait to see my partner again in person! We’ve kept it going virtually, but it’s been so long since we’ve been able to be together that it’s the first thing I want to do when we return to campus. Is there a safe way to have sex during the pandemic? Will we be violating the social contract if we do? And where will we be able to find condoms on campus?
