I'm wondering if it's possible for rubbing the clitoris too much to lead to bumps on the clitoral hood. I've been noticing these tiny, pinhead-sized bumps for about a year now, and there are only two of them. I'm sexually active and first noticed them after some intense rubbing. Also, I really enjoy masturbating and can spend a long time doing it. Could the vigorous rubbing be causing these bumps, or should I be worried about something else?

It is important to practice moderation and gentleness during masturbation to avoid such issues. As for the bumps on your clitoral hood, they may be due to irritation or even a minor infection. I recommend using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin, applying it to the affected area twice a day for a week. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. If the bumps do not improve or if you experience any worsening symptoms, it is important to see a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been able to insert two fingers into my vagina and I'm wondering if that means my hymen might be broken. Is it true that if the hymen breaks, there should be noticeable bleeding?

Its possible to insert two fingers into the vagina without the hymen breaking, as the hymen can stretch or be flexible. The breaking of the hymen doesnt always result in bleeding, as it can vary from person to person. Some may experience minimal bleeding, while others might not have any at all.

I'm a bit worried and confused about something that happened recently. If a guy rubs his genitals and ejaculates in his underwear, and then there's rubbing against a woman's genitals with a very slightly wet surface, could that possibly lead to pregnancy, especially since it happened a week after her period ended?
