“Does using two condoms at the same time give you double the protection?” – Anonymous

“Who masturbates?” — Anonymous

Most people masturbate — guys, girls, single people and people in relationships. Some people masturbate a couple of times a day, some only every once in a while. It’s also completely normal if your girlfriend or boyfriend masturbates (or wants to masturbate). It doesn’t mean you’re not enough, and it doesn’t mean they’re not into you. But of course, you should only masturbate if it is what you want. Some people never do, and that’s completely fine.

“If my partner masturbates without me, does that mean they aren’t interested in me sexually?” – Anonymous

“I constantly see girls in pornos and magazines with vaginas that don’t look anything like mine. Is there something wrong with mine and/or what do vaginas typically look like?” — Anonymous

Chances are that your breasts or vulva, or a guy’s penis or scrotum, do not look like pictures or videos you’ve seen in the porn world. Bodies come in all different shapes and sizes so there is no such thing as the “right way” for breasts, vulvas, penises, or scrotums to look.
