Some people aren't big fans of diamond engagement rings, for example, princess Diana had a sapphire engagement ring... There's a chance that the lady you're interested in might also be wearing a sapphire engagement ring. Why don't you just ask her about it? You can casually ask "is that a sapphire engagement ring?" (be sure to emphasize the word "sapphire", not "engagement") If she is not engaged, she'll probably tell you what the stone is, and that it is not an engagement ring. If she asks why your interested in her ring, you can always say something like one of your friends just got engaged and has a plain old diamond ring, and that the blue ring caught your eye because it is so unique. She'll be flattered and you will accomplish your mission to find out if she's taken or not Good luck!

Ok... but if I stop faking it, it'll be really weird for him. I mean put yourself in his shoes: he's been having sex with his girlfriend for 8 months and she's appeared to orgasm almost every time...and all of a sudden she doesn't orgasm anymore? How will I explain it to him?

Thanks for the advice, but he does try his best in bed and we've done all kinds of positions (as well as oral sex and manual stimulation.) Nothing seems to work though... I've even been to a doctor and she said that there was nothing wrong with me.

I lost my virginity to my boyfriend about 8 months ago, and have been having sex with him frequently since then. It hurt really badly for the first month, and he was worried and overly careful with me... and somewhat disappointed that I wasn't really enjoying it physically (although I did enjoy it emotionally). After a month, I faked an orgasm so that he wouldn't feel like a failure, and I've faked it ever since. I feel like I'm never going to orgasm, and that I might as well keep faking it to protect his ego - but it feels so wrong to deceive him. What should I do?

My boyfriend compliments me all the time, but when I lose a lot of weight (like during final exam week or other stressful times) the compliments increase tenfold. I mean, I'm slim enough to begin with (105 lb) so when I lose more weight it's downright unhealthy...and it bothers me that he's into the anorexic look

When I'm on my period, I just tell him that I'm on my period, or it's "that time of the month," or that it's "girly time" again... Sometimes we have sex anyway though, with the agreement that *he* is responsible for doing the laundry afterwards!

I think that the best proposal ever would go like this: Boy: *honest and simple expression of his feelings* Girl: *honest and simple expression of her feelings* Boy: Will you marry me? Girl: Yes... but will my parents approve? Boy: Yes siree bob, I already got their blessing! Girl: Yay! let's go and get some icecream! The end.

This used to happen to me and my boyfriend all the time, but we've worked out 3 great ways to prevent eye injuries... 1) Sometimes he goes for my neck instead of my lips, gradually kissing his way up to my mouth. This feels nice, and also keeps him on track. 2) If he wants to kiss my lips without going for the neck, he'll aproach my face slowly. That way, he and I have time to make minor adjustments to avoid injury. 3) Since my boyfriend is a big clumsy teddy bear of a guy, my favourite way to kiss successfully during sex is to get on top of him, and be in control of everything Hope this was helpful!

It usually takes my boyfriend 5-10 minutes to orgasm from oral sex, it depends on whether or not we're going to have intercourse (which, in turn, depends on whether or not I'm on my period, lol). I would recommend using your hands along with your mouth (in the same kinds of motions that he would use when masturbating) and also occasionally play with his balls VERY gently. Good luck

It's normal to get aroused from kissing. My boyfriend sometimes used to get hard just from cuddling with me, but he doesn't anymore. I kind of miss it, actually... *sigh*

I don't think that men should shave their penis/balls - it just looks weird. I like my man nicely trimmed (with scissors, obviously) and shower fresh

It's extremely important to get along with your girlfriend's parents for so many reasons. If the parents like you, then life will be much easier if you choose to marry her someday. Even if marriage isn't in the future, a good relationship with them will help solidify your relationship with your girlfriend. They raised her and have a great influence in her life, and so their opinions matter to her (if she respects them). This means that if they like you, then she will feel more comfortable that she made a good choice, and the relationship will feel more stable. If they don't like you, then she might think about that if you two have a major argument, and then might be more apt to break up with you (if they like you they might put in a good word on your behalf if she's pissed at you.) Luckily it doesn't seem like that's going to happen, and from what you've written it sounds like her parents *really* like you

Umm... back to the problem of masturbation (this isn't the best place to debate religion) I don't think that it's possible to cause any physical harm simply by masturbating, and I doubt that it has anything to do with your premature ejaculation. I do, however, think that your upbringing may have something to do with it. Perhaps when you used to masturbate, you would rush or worry about getting caught by your parents or other people who disapproved of masturbation. This could translate to sex; perhaps at the back of your mind you are associating intercourse with masturbation, and experiencing some anxiety about getting "caught", or being frowned upon. If that is the case, then the best way to fix matters is to focus on the fact that there's nothing wrong with sex, and that it's highly unlikely that your mother will walk into the bedroom while you're with your girlfriend (unless you're living in her house and she happens to be home, lol). Another thing to try is concentrating on turning your girlfriend on and extending foreplay for her so that she'll be quicker to orgasm, without getting too turned on yourself. Perhaps you can spend most of the time touching or going down on her with minimal reciprocation, and only penetrate her when she's about to come. That way, she won't really care if you don't last long because she'll be ready to orgasm pretty quick, and you won't be as ready to orgasm so it'll take you more than the 4-5 ins and outs you mentioned. Good luck!

I lost my virginity to my boyfriend almost a year ago, and I still haven't had an orgasm through intercourse. I have found other ways to orgasm though (through touching and receiving oral sex), and my boyfriend has been very enthusiastic about it. It's normal to not orgasm through penetration alone, and if you have a boyfriend worth keeping, he'll understand that and do all he can to pleasure you in other ways. Just communicate your needs to him and try not to worry about it Good luck!

I lost my virginity to my current boyfriend, so I was 23 years old. The reason why I waited so long was I wanted to be with someone that I really loved and trusted, because it's important to feel 100% comfortable with sex. I'm so glad that I waited until I found "the one" because I've talked with friends who had sex for the first time when they were 14-17 years old, and they all either regret it or say that it wasn't all that great or special. It kind of translates to their current attitudes about sex; it wasn't a big deal when they were younger and it's not a big deal now. I see it differently, and every time my boyfriend and I have sex it's not just a fun thing to do that feels good, it's also a way to reaffirm and strengthen our love I'm not saying that you should wait until marriage or until you meet someone that you want to spend the rest of your life with. I'm just saying that you should do it because you love and trust her when you are absolutely emotionally ready for it. Good luck
