I'm 23 years old and am in an active sexual relationship, whilst having sex I do enjoy it very much and have cum on occasion however I'm worried that I've never had an orgasm, I've never felt the things that people say you should during an orgasm, is there something wrong with me?

Discuss this question

Question found in Personal Health Issues
You say you've cum, but never had an orgasm.

They are two different words for the same thing.

Different people orgasm in differing degrees of intensity. In women, this is more often an emotional reaction than physical. Often, experience and the ability to "let go" is a factor.

If you're expecting "mind-blowing", "screaming", "writhing" orgasms that shake the earth, you've likely been talking to the wrong people or reading porn (usually highly exaggerated).

Orgasms are wonderful, but they are seldom as spectacular as many might have you believe. Learn to enjoy what you have and it will become more enjoyable.

Giving money and/or inviting a total stranger into your home is a recipe for trouble. Serious trouble.

You have no idea who he really is or what he's really like. Finding out AFTER you have given him money or AFTER he's in your home could be disastrous.

Sweet words entice the fly into the spider's web.

Don't be the fly.

My ex-boyfriend moved out of the house we were renting in Aug 2006, I moved out Dec 2006.

He had the gas bill and the direct TV bill in his name. I never paid them. I only paid the utilities that were in my name and the rent. (his half too). Am I responsible for the bills he negated to take out of his name?

Also he left the stove and refrigerator that he purchased for the home. I also left them there, now he's claiming I stole them. I don't know what to do.

Please advise,

This is in the state of Michigan

You may be responsible for bills that were not in your name if you used the services. If your residency is a matter of record (other utility bills, lease, etc.), this may be enough for those utilities to make a case against you and collect. If you would like to avoid the headache of having this progress beyond their simply demanding payment from you, pay the bills and the problem will go away. If you would rather not, you will be taking a chance that they will dun you to death and eventually make a court claim against you and/or enter it on your credit report (which you can dispute). You may also have difficulty obtaining future utilities without paying the outstanding bills plus a security deposit.

If the appliances are right where he left them, he abandoned them. If he files a theft complaint with the police, a simple interview will resolve the issue and you are very unlikely to face charges. If he attempts to file a conciliation action (small claims lawsuit), you will have to appear in court to defend it or they court will find in his favor. A simple explanation to the referee will probably suffice. The burden of proof will be on him.

How can you tell the difference between hot and cold pipe when plumbing in washing machine, the blue and red colours are missing?

Discuss this question

Question found in DIY
Most washing machines will have the letters "H" & "C" stamped into the bracket next to the respective connections. You may have to look closely to see these.

If there are no markings, give it your best guess. Hook up the connectors and turn the machine on to "COLD WASH". If the water filling the tub gets warm or hot after a minute or so, the connections are reversed. Once you know which is which, mark bracket by the hot connection with some red nail polish or similar.

Comments :
My son in law kindly connected it for me but he is not a plumber and was concerned about the colour codes missing. The tub does warm up and the clothes finish very wrinkled and warm. We will reverse them tonight thank you for your clear and helpful tip.

I think I have the dental problem TMJ, my teeth feel looser and when I close my mouth. My teeth seem to be in the wrong place, I am having trouble chewing food and seem to be speaking with a slight lisp, could you tell me what could be done about this?

Discuss this question

Question found in Dentistry
You need to see a competent dentist. A maxillofacial surgeon might be better (a dentist who deals with more complex problems).

This could be many things, but the problem needs attention or it will only become worse. This could include tooth loss, weight loss (eating uncomfortable/painful), persistent headaches, etc.

Comments :
After having no idea what it is himself my dentist has booked me an appointment at a oral and facial injury department at a hospital this thursday, hopefully they will be able to tell me what is wrong. Thank you for taking the time out to answer my question.

Can we improve the standard of living in developing countries?

Discuss this question

Question found in Miscellaneous
Yes, but they have to be willing.

In many, perhaps most, cases their governments seize any and all aid and distribute it to the favored people (usually government). This only worsens the problem.

My wife filed a restraining order against me in the Oregon state and I live in NY, my question is this... she started contacting me after the order was filed and signed by a judge but I had not been served with it at that time, was there any violation of that order by either of us for having contact even though I had not been served at that time?

Discuss this question

Question found in Legal Other
I am not familiar with OR or NY family law.

However, if your wife knew about the order and violated it herself, she might be held in contempt for luring you into a perceived violation. At minimum, the court will question why she wanted the order only to violate it herself. No contact means no contact. It was HER idea, why is she contacting you?

If you did not know about the order (hadn't been served), you probably did nothing wrong.

If you were told about it, but had not yet been served, it might have been wiser to cut off the contact as soon as you were aware that it was she.

If I miss my period am I pregnant?

Discuss this question

Question found in Parenting & Family In General
Not conclusively, but it is possible. Many things could cause you to be late or miss a period; diet, exercise, stress, etc.

Get a home pregnancy kit from your local drugstore. They are not expensive and many are just as accurate as the test a doctor will perform. Follow the instructions exactly.

They are less accurate the closer to conception. If you are 4-6 weeks pregnant, accuracy will be better.

Why are round pizzas served in a square box?

Discuss this question

Question found in Food And Drink In General
It is easier to make round pizzas and cheaper to buy square boxes.

Making the pizza square or the box round would increase the cost.
