Are their fragrances meant to be softer skin scents rather than something we should expect to project and last? I bought Afterglow, and I absolutely love how it smells on me for the first hour I have it on. I understand that this specific one is technically made to be soft and sit closer to the skin. However, I can’t get more than 2 hours before the scent almost entirely fades. It fades especially quickly off my pulse points on my arm.

Does this issue happen for anyone else?

First off, congrats to all the seniors who just graduated!

I was curious about the best times to plan for my own photoshoot (I‘m a junior) and wanted to ask people who already did theirs what the best days/times are.

My (21F) new boyfriend (22M) and I had sex for the first time. We had done it with me on top of him. He (was) a virgin (I’m not though) and I noticed that within 10 minutes, he had finished. Is it a normal thing for guys to finish quickly when they lose their virginity, and does it improve over time in terms of lasting longer? I’m not asking this in a way to make it sound like it’s something he should be ashamed about, because it’s not, but I’m just genuinely curious.

It’s my first time attending a graduation at CSUN. B3 is the main one I always use (student), but half of the parking lot is going to be closed off during the ceremonies. Where do people usually park?

Anyone else in the same boat?

Lately my new boyfriend (24M) let me (20F) know that his mom has started making assumptions about me when the topic of me having tattoos was brought up. I don’t have a whole lot, just a patchwork sleeve that’s almost complete. We are still new into the relationship, so I’ve yet to meet his mom.

He told me that his mom was making generalizations about me and stating that tattoos always say something negative about the person and that he should rethink being with me because he’s likely being a “lovestruck” idiot and not considering whether our values truly align. He also stated that he’s defended me from her generalizations multiple times and is trying to convince her that I’m not the person she’s assuming I am, which I do appreciate.

When I got tattoos, I signed up for the possibility of future partners‘ parents being anti-tattoo. I don’t necessarily take her comments to heart, as I chose my self expression over anything else. However, I’m afraid of the tattoos thing becoming a point of contention between my partner and his mom, and I worry about how it can affect our relationship long-term. Maybe meeting her might change her opinion a bit, but I’m not hopeful. Part of me has some hope that meeting her will help her see past the box she’s put me in, as I’m no stranger to the tattoo taboo despite it being more widely accepted in today’s day and age. The other part fears that she simply won’t accept me regardless, so I’m having doubts about him and I. Should I stick around to see it through?

I’m done with my major requirement units, what are some easy classes/good professors?

Please and thank you, I’m a sushi enthusiast and want to try some spots around here

My boyfriend and I are a new couple, we’ve barely started dating only a month ago. I am his first girlfriend and (will likely be) his first time. He opened up to me a little while ago that he used to struggle with porn addiction and that for the past year, he made the decision to cut it entirely from his life and claims to have not even touched himself since.

Three days ago, he told me that he was ready to have sex. When it was time to do so, he started getting soft before it went inside and wasn’t able to get hard again, even with other physical stimulation (like oral or hands). He apologized and expressed his embarrassment, and I assured him that I didn’t take it personally. He explained that while his mind feels attracted to me, aroused, and ready for sex, his body seemingly isn’t catching up, but he didn’t attribute it to nerves or performance anxiety. He claimed that it may be his libido resetting or not being used to touch again.

He did reassure me it had nothing to do with me or his level of attraction, and all to do with him. He also expressed that even when making out, he only seems to get 70-80% hard and then he quickly loses his erections with no explanation. The thing is, even with the complications he’s having, he’s still prioritized my pleasure and has been learning how to touch me, which has gone very well. I just feel slightly guilty that I’m not able to give him much back at the moment.

I told him that I appreciated his vulnerability and assured him that I wouldn’t judge him at any step because this isn’t fully in his control. My question is, how common is it for men to experience this, and how can I best support him? Will we be able to have sex eventually with patience?
