my bf is uncut and im freaking out bc i have never seen one like that let alone know what to do. Help!

okay yes UK boys are uncut which is not the predominant back home and it low-key was a shock.

the intel i’ve gathered so far is that when they’re erect they push past the little turtleneck and look very similar to cut penises. it’s when they’re just hanging out that they lack the … beauty of a cut penis.

in regards of that changing the way you approach a penis, i think you should be fine. but also, ask what he likes. test out some theories. is the gathered foreskin under the head more sensitive? give it extra attention and suction. listen and respond to his queues.

i feel like i need to add the caveat that i actually suck at blow jobs and sex in general i’m just very pro communication

Introduction!

Hi all,

I'm an 18 year old girl and I can promise you, i've been through it all. Heartbreak? Check. Blood stains on white jeans? Check. One night stands? Check. I have advice from what book you should read, how get that over that one ex you just cant seem to stop crying about, to how to set goals and stick to them.

A little bit about me: I'm from the UK, i'm studying Fashion Business and Retail in college and i'm very blunt. Like, say whatever comes to mind. Starting a blog has always been one of my dreams (ever since I read Girl Online by the one and only Zoella) and I decided to do it the old fashioned way, on my home, Tumblr.

I want to be every persons big sister with makeup recommendations, dealing with family issues and what to do when you feel like the world is just falling apart. (Basically the agony aunt section in a magazine but for Gen Z)

I'm open to questions, I want to tell my stories, I want to you to get to know me and I want to share the harsh reality of the world girls have to live in nowadays.

Kisses

Hi auntie,

three years ago I dated this guy. we’re a year and a bit apart. i’m older. i’m also secretly trans. Every time we get drunk, we end up making out or at least cuddling- and we’ve both acknowledged that. I asked if he wanted to go to coffee, that way we could talk about this… mess? but he hasn’t responded. I’m not like, really romantically into him but i’m touch starved as fuck so i let it happen.

Also worth noting- we go to a conservative private school where rich assholes run the social world. They’d rip us apart if they heard.

Sincerely,

Awkward.

Hi Awkward,

Thank you for writing to me, I’ll do my best to help you out.

So, firstly, I think that if you aren’t really romantically into this guy, maybe you should think about finding another person to give you affection instead, as giving and receiving affections to and from someone who you don’t feel too strongly about is possibly not the best way to do things. Or perhaps another outlet altogether. As for his lack of response to your request, if you ever meet up again or even bump into each other by chance, you could ask him then. If you don’t or he says no, don’t worry. There are other ways you can receive affections and feel loved (which I am assuming is what you want).

Feeling touch starved sucks. It can leave you desperate to find affection from anywhere, even if it isn’t healthy (in my experiences). If there is someone that you like (at your school or otherwise), I would suggest perhaps trying to form a relationship with them, even just a friendly one, as you can still get affection from a friend (hugs etc) if that’s what you need. I understand that due to your school this may not be possible, but if you can, try and meet people outside of school, as not everyone who lives where you do is likely to share the same opinions. There are a number of ways you could do this, for example: you could ask your parents/guardians if you could attend classes (dance, art, cookery, sports; it could be anything) as this is a great way to meet new people. Or you could find a new hobby, or join a club at school which you deem to be more accepting. You could even start your own new club! That would be a great way to meet people and have friends who are interested in the same things as you, and who share the same opinions etc. This way, you’ll be sure to find friends in no time, who will be able to give you hugs and whatever else you need.

A note on your school: I think it would be best, if your parents/guardians are supportive, to come out as trans at home, that way you can live your true self in at least one major part of your life. If this isn’t possible, perhaps try to subtly appear as more your desired gender or even androgynous is that’s what you’d like. If it’s safe to do so, you could style your hair a different way, or wear more trousers/skirts/other clothes as desired. That way, you have at least one place where you can escape to to be your true self, as I understand that probably won’t be possible at school.

As for getting affection regularly, from what you’ve told me I could probably guess that your parents/guardians don’t give you affections (hugs, kisses etc) on a regular basis, and so you’re keen to find a safe space where you can feel loved and cared for. If you already have friends, try explaining to them your touch starved situation, and I’m sure that if they’re good people they’ll understand and help you in any way that you need. If not, again, if you don’t feel you can form a romantic relationship, see if you can find some different friends, some that do or don’t go to your school. It’s up to you. If their parents/guardians say it’s okay, you can go round to their houses or meet up at neutral spaces like a cafe in town. Perhaps here you can find a safe space to be yourself. Again, if they are true friends, they’ll understand when you explain your touch-starved situation, and they’ll do their best to give you what you need. If they don’t, keep trying. I understand that it can be difficult to make new friends, as I am a very introverted person myself, but what I like to do is just say hello to people. Like if you’re at a club at school or a class, just say hi to someone. Smile at them. Ask them their name and tell them yours. If you don’t want to do this, you could just jump straight in and ask their opinion on something. For example, if you like Doctor Who, you could ask their opinion on the show, and if they like it then that’s great, if they don’t you could ask them what their favourite show/movie is. Making friends doesn’t have to be all about big gestures; just start small and see where it gets you. Hopefully then you’ll be able to find your people, the people who love you and get you and can give you affections when you need them.

By the way, just to clarify, I’m not suggesting to find friends just so that they can give you affection. Friends will help you in other ways; they’ll make you feel loved and wanted and safe. In my experience, this is a wonderful feeling that really helps mental health in general. And I’m not just saying that! :)

Thank you again for writing to me, Awkward, and I really hope you find what you’re looking for and that my advice helps. If this hasn’t been helpful, feel free to tell me so and I can see what other advice I could give you. Don’t hesitate to contact me again if you need any more help.

All the best,

Auntie Nat :)

Do you have any tips on how to become more confident during sex as a woman? I always feel self conscious because I’m afraid the man won’t enjoy it

I think a lot of this has to do with your partner, as well as yourself

Self confidence in bed usually is very closely tied to body confidence. If you're anxious, it's probably because you don't feel you look good naked. I've been there - that's where things like gym, dance class, any form of exercise really can help you learn to love your own body

As for "the man won't enjoy it" - that's where the partner comes in. Your partner should make you feel completely at ease, should have your complete trust that they will enjoy being with you and talk you through their feelings and make sure you're both having a good time. If your partner doesn't make you feel like that, they're not the right partner for you

What do you think are the best poses to use when sending spicy pictures? The same guy I have been hooking up with (completely fwb, he’s actually moving in two months) asked if I would ever be into that and I said maybe but I’m now realizing I don’t know how to pose for pictures of any kind, not just this stuff but just normal pictures as well 😭

it’s all about finding your own angles baby. put on the lingerie that makes you feel sexy, move around, try everything. different angles and positions emphasise different … assets, so that’s important to keep in mind.

here, i’ll add some of my own to give you ideas

Perfect Pop 5 - Belinda Carlisle

So far this month, we've featured Taja Sevelle, Vanessa Paradis, Tiffany, and Debbie Gibson. All were new to the business we call show. Belinda Carlisle, by comparison, was an experienced performer.

Belinda was part of The Go-Go's in the early 1980s. After the band went their separate ways, Belinda shed the punk rock image reinvented herself as a performer of bright and breezy pop. "Heaven is a place on earth" was the massive breakthrough hit, a deserved number 1 single in early 1988, and it's been on Heart FM literally every hour since. Far better than "You give love a bad name", a suspiciously similar Bon Jovi song from a year earlier.

I think the video for “Heaven is a place on earth” is absolutely terrible, it shows far too much of the dancers and their inflatable globes, and far too little of the star. That's why I'm sharing the clip from Top of the Pops-CBS, Belinda and her band have the time of their lives.

Heaven on Earth wasn't Belinda's solo debut album. That was Belinda, released in 1986, but a filing error at record label IRS allowed her to leave after this one album. There was one hit single of note, "Mad about you". It was written by Belinda with Paula Jean Brown and Charlotte Caffey from the dying days of The Go-Go's.

Over here, "Mad about you" wasn't re-released until summer 1988, by which time "I get weak" had grazed the top ten, and "Circle in the sand" had gone top five. Like "Mad about you", the song was promoted with a beachfront video - this time at Half Moon Bay in northern California. State-of-the-art visual effects for 1988 allowed the director to superimpose other film on the washing line where some sheets billow in the wind.

Like Debbie Gibson's "Lost in your eyes", this is a song about a lasting love. Unlike the other songs, it's in D minor, commonly seen as a stubborn and serious and pious key. "One for doctor's waiting rooms", said Carlisle some years later; if only our doctor would play anything so tuneful.

Belinda also guested as an agony aunt for a short-lived magazine. It, er, didn’t go so well.
