Question by Johny Leo: Is it that shocking if I don't have any experience in love/sex after 20?
I mean...I am 22 actually and yet have no experience whatsoever in sex, love, dating - etc. Anyone like that? And...im not looking for "creative" responses that much, probablly something more funny or ironic...like... I asked a similar question some time ago and the best reply i got was: "to others - it will be shocking, to you - not so much". heh, 10x.

Question by Truth: How do you feel about this girl's real story of tattoo regret?
To me, it almost makes me cry. I want to know your thoughts about it, and will it make you change any of your tattoo plans? Remember, Tattoos are PERMANENT!
The best quote: "I really wish I would have never began this insane body modification as I am now a mature adult with a great corporate job, family responsibilities & the desire to be more feminine I guess - Not such a freakshow."
The whole story: "Hi! I am 21 & have my entire back tattooed -Yeah, the whole thing.. I got the first piece done for my 13th birthday. That piece was done by an amateur & ended up scarring horribly. I mean BAD. To this day the 4x4 tribal piece is easily irritated, always puffy & well.. scarred. I was so self conscious about it that I decided to add to it - aiming to take the focus away from the black scar.. So at 15 I added to it... I was involved with the wrong crowd of people at that time in my life & was exposed to heavily tattooed people so it was "no big deal" - Plus, this was a while ago & the removal procedures/theories were fairly new & extremely pricey! To make a long story short by 19 I had most of my back piece done. It is very colorful, containing: black, white, greywash, violets, turquoise, orange, green, red etc.. I am very very serious about removing it but am terrified of the scarring. Not so much the cost but the chance of a bad heal w/ scarring & tattoo traces unable to be removed. I really wish I would have never began this insane body modification as I am now a mature adult with a great corporate job, family responsibilities & the desire to be more feminine I guess - Not such a freakshow. It's like living two lives with this amount of " permanent art".. Thats just the thing - PERMANENT - Wasnt thinking about that @ 13...I know it sounds dumb & this probably isnt the forum to post my story in but I really want some "real" feedback. We all know that $$ is the name of the game & everyone will try to sell you something - especially when they can take advantage of others in such an emotional desperation oriented way. I was considering this tat be gone - sounds weak though - maybe good on a little tattoo - what about a huge back piece?! Can someone vouch for the credibility of removal on large long lived professional tattoo's?!"

remember:
"The fact that so many people change their minds (up to 80%) should lead you to think carefully about whether you want to lock yourself into a fashion statement that might cause you a lot of aggravation and heartache later in life." (Laura Reybold, Everything you need to know about the dangers of tattooing and body piercing, p. 32)
"What so few realize, tragically, is that such a mark [tattoo] becomes the albatross around the neck for all time." (Ronald Scutt, Art, Sex and Symbol, 1974, p. 181)
"Emotional risks[of tattoos] include negative feelings you might have as a result of getting a tattoo or piercing. Social risks are those that could damage your relationship with others, including friends, parents, teachers, and employers. . . For example, body modification can affect your chances for future employment. Certain jobs are not available to people who have visible body art." (Bonnie B. Graves, Tattooing and body piercing") I guess you can look at the answer of a person like "Rae's Momma" and ask yourself, "Do I want to be like her?" If the answer is "yes", then get a tattoo. If the answer is "No, she sure sounds ignorant to me", then do not join her in tattooing yourself! Very easy choice, I think. "al b", go to a differnt section if you want to talk about other issues. this one is for tattoos. (P.S. you sound a little confused to me. try a 12 step program is my suggestion.

Answer by daniaka Of course tattoos are permanent - hence the reason why you're supposed to be a legal adult before getting one. Whoever wrote the law making tattoos legal at 18 was hoping that young people, who may not yet fully realise the consequences of their actions, wouldn't run out to get something that they regret later in life.
I wanted my first tattoo at 14, but I knew my parents would never let that fly. So I waited until I was older, swearing I'd get my first on my 18th birthday. That day came and went, and I didn't get my first until I was 20. I decided to get it after several years of figuring out what I really wanted. That led to five more tattoos, and more that I plan on getting, each one I love just the same as the day that I got them.
As for the quote you included, "Social risks are those that could damage your relationship with others, including friends, parents, teachers, and employers..." that really should not matter. If people are going to judge what is on your body, they are shallow and superficial and should worry about themselves. Tattoos are personal, works of art that are meant for the person wearing them.
How can I tell my bf I want sex on my period but in the shower?
How can I tell my boyfriend I want sex on my period but do it in the shower to keep it clean? How can make it comfortable? We had sex on my period never in the shower. It was just a quickie.
Best answer:
Answer by Natalie Just convince him that in the shower it will be cleaner experience, as long as you wash the kitty cat first before allowing him to insert anything in. Kudos!
Whenever I'm doing it with my girlfriend she will always tell me to "say something". It's not like I'm silent, but she seems to be very turned on by words and I never know exactly what to say. Girls what is it that really turns you on that a guy can say once you're already in the act?

Answer by Red Herring I'm a dude, but I think you could probably complement her on her body.
How can I talk to my mom about sex instead of my dad?
I'm a 15 year old male and I feel uncomfortable talking about sex with my dad. How can I talk to my mom about it instead (like when my dad is not around)?
Best answer:
Answer by ∂ανι∂ αÑ¢нυâ„"Ñ"тα=â„"σνÑ"♥ well if your mom is easy to talk to then just go up to her and say mom can i talk to you about something personal, or something like that. Also it depends what you want to talk to your mom about..honestly i think it will be a little wierd talking to her, but if you two are close then it won't be that akward. I'm 13 and my mom never talked to me about sex, i just kinnda learned myself also she didn't teach me about not to have sex or anything, she just trusts that i won't. So anyway if u don't want ur dad to find out,tell her you want to keep the talk betweem you two only. Good Luck:)
