Whether you’re a straight guy wondering about masturbation or a teenage girl questioning if you’re a lesbian, we all have questions about our sexuality at one time or another.
Having so many questions about sex can feel overwhelming, but the good news is you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Reaching out to an adult you trust (like a health educator or school counselor) can help you separate the facts from all the rumors you may hear at school. It also means you can get support from someone who has probably had similar experiences in the past.
Feel too embarrassed to speak with someone you know, or worried they won’t understand your sexuality?
There are plenty of private resources online. Educating yourself on STD or birth control information, and finding a clinic to get tested for STDs on the Teensource website is a great way to learn how to make positive choices for your sexual health. There are also plenty of other online resources available for peer support, frequently asked questions, and LGBT issues.
