  • At what age do males need to get their penis checked out?

  • I am 11 years old. I think that I have a problem. When I rub up against the blankets in bed it feels really good. I told a friend about it and she said I was weird. Is there something wrong with me?

  • I am a swimmer. I train twice a week & I am worried about having my first period. Will I have to use a tampon straight away?

  • I'm 16 and want to know whats the go with pubic hair ? Do we shave it off , make a landing strip , change its colour or just leave it as is ? Please help, what do guys prefer bald, trimmed or hairy?

  • I’m 14 turning 15 in August and my penis is much smaller than my mate’s and I find this pretty embarrassing. Is there anything I can do or am I destined to have a small one for the rest of my life?

  • I’m 15 and I’ve got hair where I don’t think you are supposed to have it. It’s on my stomach, between my breasts and on my bottom and back. I don’t like wearing bikinis because of this. What’s wrong with me?

  • I’m a 12-year-old girl. I haven’t started my periods yet but I’ve already got pubic hair. Can you please tell me what’s happening?

  • I’m a 13-year-old boy. I’ve suddenly developed breasts, what’s happening to me? Am I turning into a girl? I’m so embarrassed and I don’t dare take of my shirt in case someone sees them and then everyone would know. Can you help me, I’m scared and don’t know what to do.

  • Recently I noticed some discoloured skin in my pubic area. I squeezed it and some thick white stuff came out and then a blood blister formed. I have never had sex before, but I am worried and wonder what it is.

  • When I’m out with my boyfriend and we kiss, his penis gets stiff. Is this normal?
