Abstract: Sex Master has seen many questions surface online regarding the chances of getting pregnant from a large variety of sexual activities. Usually the asker is concerned about getting pregnant. The problem with most of these questions is that getting pregnant is the least of your troubles. Getting STDs can be much worse, and in some cases lead to serious disability (Hepatitis, HBV and HAV can destroy your liver), scars (Herpes and Syphilis) or death (HIV/AIDS, HBV, HAV). The motto is: When in doubt, wear a condom!

Abstract: Hi Sex Master, My boyfriend and I recently broke up after about a year together. We had been fighting heaps then both decided it wasn’t working out. For a week after we broke up, we didn’t speak at all, not even on the phone. But then he started texting me that he misses me and wants me to come around. I went around to his place and it turns out he doesn’t want to get back together, he only wants to make sure we are ‘friends’ and ‘stay in touch’. The day after that was my birthday and he didn’t text or call me once, let alone visit – I thought that’s what friends are supposed to do? He did text me a couple of days later, but at 2am, and it looked like a drunken text. What does it mean when guys say they want to ‘stay friends’ after you break up? It seems like a joke to me.

Abstract: Hi, I’m a high school senior and I’ve been going steady with my girl for 4 months. We have been to 3rd base and have been talking a lot about going all the way. She’s had a boyfriend before me and they did it once. Anyway, last week when the olds were out I cooked her dinner then we went to my room. After making out for a while we decided to take the plunge. I heard about STDs and that you should wear a condom so I took the condom that had been in my wallet since 2004 and tried to put it on but it wouldn’t roll down. I was so nervous and embarrassed that I lost my hard on. We decided not to do it then but I think we will do it soon. In school we were only taught to ‘say no until marriage’ and no one told me anything about how to actually use condoms. How do I put on a condom?
