I'm really curious and a bit nervous about having sex for the first time. What should both my partner and I know or do to make sure it's a good and safe experience for us both since it's our first time?

To have a good first-time sexual experience, it's important to communicate openly with your partner, take things slow, and prioritize each other's comfort and consent. Make sure to use protection to prevent sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies. It's also important to be aware of each other's boundaries and to stop if either partner feels uncomfortable. As for contraception, you can consider using condoms to prevent STIs and also consider using emergency contraceptive pills if needed.

I've been struggling with painful intercourse with my husband it feels like hitting a wall no matter how many times we try. We've used different lubricants and gels, but nothing helps. Is there any medical procedure or surgery to help enlarge or break the hymen so we can have successful intercourse?

If painful intercourse is caused by a restrictive hymen, a medical procedure called a hymenotomy can be performed to break or enlarge the hymen. This procedure can help to alleviate pain and make intercourse more comfortable. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if this is the root cause of the pain and to discuss whether a hymenotomy is appropriate for you. There may also be other medical or psychological factors contributing to the pain, so a thorough evaluation is crucial.

I was with my boyfriend on December 31st and we got intimate, but there was no penetration and no ejaculation near my vagina. Could just rubbing our genitals lead to pregnancy? It's been five days and I'm feeling a little tightness in my lower belly. Could this just be anxiety or stress? My last period started on December 20th. What should I do?

Rubbing genitals without penetration and ejaculation near the vagina typically doesn't lead to pregnancy, but there's a very small risk if sperm comes in contact with the vaginal area. The tightness you're feeling could be due to anxiety, especially since your period was only a week ago. If you're concerned, taking a home pregnancy test or consulting with a healthcare provider can help ease your mind.
