Definitely go see a doctor, therapist, and/or pyschiatrist. A panic attack is bad enough, to have one that spans over several days can be physically dangerous and especially if your are suicidal.

The three women who help people escape polygamy are from the Kingston clan, two of them are lucky enough to have Daniel Kingston as their father. Remember the young woman who was brutally beaten by Kingston and managed to terminate her parent's guardianship of her in the early to mid aughts? That's her, Jessica, and her sister, Andrea, she took with her. If you have A&E, you can watch it.

People like Ashjian are rather insistent about keeping those teen pregnancy and STI rates up along with inane birth control methods spreading around schools. Keeping people ignorant about their bodies is abusive IMNSHO and educating young people about the reality of sexuality and how to be safe and smart are a GOOD thing for society.

You bring up a lot of excellent points about the ignorance of female anatomy and sexual pleasure.

It's from "The Handmaid's Tale" : "“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid men will kill them." It's an excellent, although terrifying, book especially for women that have left a patriarchal cult. The series does it justice as well and I cannot recommend both enough. Even got several Mormon women to read it to plant a seed hopefully.

Here's where it gets complicated, tho'- What do you define as sexual intercourse? Are lesbians that never had PIV still virgins? How about gay men? Is a penis and penetration required to define sexual intercourse? And why is something "lost" and not gained or given?

One more thing to add- The BoR and other government agencies that deal with water haven't figured out how to filter out the waste byproducts of prescription drugs and this includes drugs like hormonal treatments, so this is a possible effect.

I concur with her. It's a terrible misconception that the first time is supposed to hurt for a young woman. The reason it often is painful because people, especially young people, are ignorant about female sexuality. If you practice foreplay and get an idea of what turns you on, then actually engage in foreplay before first PIV intercourse, it generally won't hurt. It might feel weird and a littl

Usually it's something that predates the 1980s, although I'm sure there's arch-conservative, religious people that believe tampons and virginity are related somehow.

What do you define as a fight? Do physical matches (not the playful kind) with siblings count? Is it solely limited to punching or does slapping kicking, biting, strangling count? I have sparred with a lot of men when I was in wushu, some twice my size, with mixed results, so does that count, too?
