I am self conscious about my discharge if my boyfriend touches me?

[Anonymous]

I find that I often get dischardge in my underwear and it feels gross and wet unless I use liners. Do guys find it gross if they were to touch a girl and there is discharge? I want my my first boyfriend who I've been dating for about 5 months to touch me down there but I'm worried that I'll have discharge or be wet if he does. He was touching me for the first time yesterday over my underwear and I was wearing liners. Also most of the time it's stringy and long or looks like snot. It's really embarassing and hope I didn't gross anyone out but it's making me self conscious. Is this kind of discharge normal?

[molan]

All women have some vaginal discharge. Normal discharge may appear clear, cloudy white or yellowish when dry on clothing. It may also contain white flecks and at times may be thin and stringy. Changes in normal discharge can occur for many reasons, including menstrual cycle, emotional stress, nutritional status, pregnancy, usage of medications like birth control pills or sexual arousal.

Any changes in colour or amount of discharge may be a sign of a vaginal infection.

Thank you for the information.

hey- its all good miss. dont be worried. your body is beautiful, your boyfriend will not give 2 fucks about discharge/being wet, infact it will turn him on more. trust me, im a 20 yr old guy, i love how wet my girls pussy gets. haha hope that helps. :)

[Asker]

Thank you for reassuring me. I hope you are right about him. :)

You could possibly have a yeast infection, which is nothing to be worried about they are quite common, but you should get it checked out just in case. I've had them before and it was like what you are describing. They will give you a pill or tell you to buy the cream and it will be gone within 48 hours. I have not had this issue since I went to the doctor :)

You're fine sweetie just go to the GYN and/or your regular doctor. It's fine.
Hope this helped :)

[Asker]

Really? Oh I hope I don't have it. Thank you for your advice.

[RandomR]

No problem. This isn't an infection like your a disgusting person it's just your hormones are unbalanced so you need to level them out again. It's a very common infection in women, men get them too so don't feel like a gross person if you have it. You're all good love!

[Asker]

Oh I see. The infection part made me worried. I'm a bit scared to go to the doctors. Would they ask you to show anything?

[RandomR]

No they will just take a cervical sample; so they would stick a long q-tip in your vagina and swipe your cervix, then they would look at it under a microscope and/or send it in for a culture. And yeah them calling it an infection does make it a scary word. I have this disease called endometriosis that makes me feel gross every time I call it a disease, so I understand your fear. But everything will be fine. :)

Tmi I know but all my life I would get discharge on my underwear I hated it cuz eww and it would have a smell. I though it was normal for it to smell bad you know since there is bacteria in there etc. since I've changed what I wash down there with it has changed my life no joke. I feel much cleaned doesn't smell, I have also read it's because your vagina ph is not balanced.

[Asker]

Yeah. I feel like I'm disgusting half the time... Actually I don't really use products to wash there. What do you use to wash down there? I got samples of feminine wash but do we put it over or inside too? I haven't used it yet.

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah feminine wash is the best no joke well at least for me it is. Yeah you're suppose to actually put ur hand in there and wash good but not like inside ur actual vagina hole like where a penis will go.

[Asker]

umm we put it around, between our legs but not actually inside. Is that right?

[Opinion Owner]

No u actually have to get in there not just outside in between ur legs lol

[Asker]

oh, do you mean on the reddish pinkish park but not inside the hole right?

[Opinion Owner]

Yes, there you go that's a better way to explain it. Just try it out see how it goes.

[Asker]

I get it now :) Thank you for your help. I will try it out.

[Opinion Owner]

Haha good :). Let me know if it actually worked for u

[Anonymous]

It's normal. When a girl gets excited she gets wet and it acts like a natural lubrication. That's why they sell lubrication because the older you get, the harder it is to produce

[Asker]

I see. What if I'm feeling normal or it's just everyday life and there's discharge, is that normal too?

[Opinion Owner]

Sometimes. If you're really concerned about it you can go see a doctor for a check up. It sounds pretty normal to me though, but then again I'm not a doctor.

[Opinion Owner]

Btw, you could also see when if happens without stimulation. At certain times during your cycle, you're more fertile.

[Asker]

Oh I see. Thank you for your help :)

[Asker]

If I were to be making out with my boyfriend would it be weird if I brought a towel because I'm worried about it? And would it be weird to tell him and ask him about it?

[Opinion Owner]

It probably would be weird because it's a natural process. It would actually be concerning if you didn't have discharge. That's sort of why I brought up a doctor or some other medical person. I think a lot of your issue is that it's in your head because it's how you perceive it. I would actually suggest talking to your female figure whether that's a mom or something first but you know, relationships are different from person to person.

[Asker]

Okay. I feel better after seeing that it'd normal. I am kinda hesitant to ask my mum as I don't want her to think I'm doing anything weird.

[Opinion Owner]

Exactly, you ask you're mom a question about your body like this, she going to probably jump straight to the conclusion that you're having sex or sexually exploring yourself. Not that there is anything wrong with all that... it just makes it sort of awkward.

[Asker]

Yeah I don't want her to think that way... when I got my period I didn't know what it is and didn't ask her what it was until 3 days after... I find it awkward to ask her about stuff like this. One of the reasons why I go onto this site. :p

[CelticJonny]

Are you aroused when the discharge occurs? and is it a clear, colorless fluid? If so, then It's quite a natural occurrence in many women. Vaginal lubrication is your bodies natural reaction to a state of potential intercourse, male penises naturally lube become more moist too when erect for the same reason.

It you're unsure or the discharge is a funny color/ smell, or occurs without sexual arousal, I'd suggest you book an appointment to see your gynecologist.

[Asker]

Umm sometimes when I think about stuff, but sometimes just in a normal day too. It is clear but sometimes a little yellowish. Thanks for your advice

[Iron_Man]

whats is discharge what happens?

[Asker]

Umm, when liquid comes out of a vagina. I'm not sure about it. It feels like a period but not as much and doesn't hurt but I can feel it coming out. I think it's to keep the insides clean? It's just that it feels wet and sometimes smells when it happenes tovme and it seems to happen to me a lot. I'm not sure if that's normal. Would you be grossed out?

[Iron_Man]

I have to tell the truth Yes I would and your saying it smells. I think maybe you can go to some kind of a sex doc and fix it

[Iron_Man]

If Its just getting wet thats fine but I have heard diischarge comes out kind of thick and yellow. I had to still ask you though because I do not know to much about discharge

[Asker]

Well... it's kinda both. Like getting wet or thick and yellow as you described it. It smells if I go right up to it... So if it's wet it's fine but the other then guys wouldn't like it?

[Iron_Man]

If your my girl I will take you to the doc and ask him why when we are trying to have sex does this happen. I would never drop you because of it but I would want to fix the problem because I like more then just sex Oral as well.

[healthybeauty]

discharge is white and chunky

[Iron_Man]

I dont like it and would want to fix it healthybeauty so when we are having sex its not going to discharge in my mouth or on my private part

[healthybeauty]

ok first of honey, you dont need advice about discharge or period type stuff from a 40 year old man who has no idea. you dont need to go to the doctor for it. its 100 percent normal, its just cleaning you out, and it doesn't happen all day everyday. and it won't when your boyfriend goes down on you. when you get touched you get excited, and you get wet, which is your body getting ready for sex. its self lubricating, you want to get wet, its the point of sexual activities. getting wet is good. I don't know how old you are but you get more discharge when you're younger and it gets better the longer youve had your period. dont worry, its all normal

[healthybeauty]

and I don't know what you're talking about discharge in your mouth? thats never going to happen. and please try and google some stuff about sex education before you start getting into it. because its important to know whats going on and what you should and shouldn't be doing and what to look out for

[Iron_Man]

Liusten here you bitter lady. She wants advice from a man. You have no Idea what my age is so shame on you for trying to take a Jab at me. I told her the truth. Dont jump on me because you dont like what you hear. I never asked you you to jump in anyway in my area with her one on one talk

[Iron_Man]

Dont jump in on my conversation I never asked you to come in here. I am talking to the girl one on one

[Asker]

Hi Iron_Man, thanks for your opinion. I did want to know what guys would think about it and if it is normal or not. I haven't had sex or anything... Just had my pants on. But I am kinda worried about what my boyfriend might think if it was wet or something. I guess he won't know much about girls either as I'm the first girl he kissed.

[Asker]

Hi healthybeauty, white and chunky would be normal? And even though it happens everyday but every few hours or something like that it would still be normal?

[Iron_Man]

Asker your a good Honest person I have enjoyed talking to you. I have told you the truth and all. I am glad your keeping your pants on. I hope everything works out for you.

[Asker]

Thank you Iron_Man, I have enjoyed talking with you too.

[Iron_Man]

hahaha I would be like snack time! Leave it and when you are with him don't use panty liners. It is very flattering to a man and if he is smart will clean you up proper.

[Opinion Owner]

lol you did not describe a white thick smelly discharge that made you itchl. You DON'T have a yeast infection.

[Asker]

Don't use panty liners? Umm maybe I'll try that. I haven't just used panties by itself in a while... Ah yes, it doesn't itch but sometimes it is white or yellow, and sometimes thick and smells if I don't change the panty liner. Only if I try to smell it when I'm within 30 cm of my underpants.

[Opinion Owner]

The yellow actually seems a little odd tbh unless it is yellow after it dries. Eat more yogurt and you should be fine. And when you say it smells is it good or bad?

[Asker]

oh I'll eat more yogurt then :) It smells kinda sour.

[Opinion Owner]

It's probably normal. Stay away from asparagus and garlic before you are romantic. Like a day or two before and drink more water. Good luck :)

[Asker]

Thank you for your help :)
