Question
Well I'll start off by saying I'm 14. I lost my virginity about 2 and a half weeks ago. The guy and I have only had vaginal intercourse. But he tries anal intercourse. And I have always said I would never do that. I've heard it is extremely painful, which I experienced when he slighty attempted to. But if we did that, wouldn't the whole situation become gross, like if he got crap on his dick or something else of the disgusting sort? And I have what I'm pretty much positive are shave bumbs on my vagina. I've had sex with same person, numerous times, and I know he has nothing like STD's and stuff. But how can I get rid of shave bumps?
Answer
Bumps need to be seen by a doctor to make sure they are just bumps from shaving, and anal sex really puts you at high risk for sexually transmitted infection, including HIV, so please tell your partner "no."
The behavior you are describing sounds very risky to me and I want to encourage you to please go see a doctor at Planned Parenthood, to start on a reliable method of birth control and have the bumps checked out. In addition, please make sure that all sexual contact includes the male partner using a condom.
