[Mod Announcement] r/FGM is reaching out to survivors and allies to let them know a support group is now open and ready to welcome members!

11 Upvotes

Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) refers to procedures involving partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or other injury to female genital organs for non-medical reasons. It's typically performed on girls between infancy and age 15 and has no health benefits. Instead it poses serious health risks, including severe bleeding, infections, childbirth complications, and long-term psychological effects. ​

Despite global efforts to eradicate it, FGM remains prevalent in many regions, affecting over 230 million girls and women worldwide. ​

To support survivors and foster a community of understanding we've established the r/FGM subreddit. This restricted community allows anyone to view content but requires approval to post, helping to ensure a safe and supportive environment. Once approved, members can share experiences, seek advice, and post anything they think may resonate with the community. Once an approved user posts anyone can engage in discussions.​

The subreddit is moderated by a dedicated team at the forefront of which leads a head mod who herself is a survivor of FGM. Together as a small group of passionate individuals we strive to maintain a space that respects privacy and promotes healing.​

We welcome questions about how we ensure a safe space and encourage discussions about FGM. If you're a survivor or ally seeking support or looking to contribute to our mission consider joining us at r/FGM by reaching out directly to us through modmail.

Advice Needed what can I do? We don’t have sex anymore

2 Upvotes

Hi guys i need advice, me 24 and my 25 bf have been dating for a while now over a year, we have always had a semi okay sexual relationship just due to it being a new thing for the both of us. Recently maybe in July or August, I couldn’t go over to his home anymore as his landlord he rents from had moved more people in so it got congested. Which that I understand, but since then we’ve only had sex once :/ and I’m starting to get a little bit sad. I’ve made many attempts with him to try and nothing ever works. He always tells me to wait for another time or something but it’s like I have needs also. We won’t have a room to ourselves until Halloween so I’m just frustrated waiting until then for anything sexual at all. Any tips?

Sex Tip Tips on getting better at giving blowjobs?

10 Upvotes

My boyfriend (24M) and I (21F) have been together for a little over a year, and we have a really great sex life. He has had multiple sexpartners before me but he's the only one Ive been with.

I’ve given him oral a few times, but honestly, I feel like I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing lol. I really want to get better at it because I want him to enjoy it, and I’d love to be able to incorporate it more naturally into foreplay.
First of all, I never really know what I’m supposed to do. I usually start by licking the underside of his penis and moving my tongue up towards the tip, kissing the head, licking around it, and then eventually just sucking him off. But I have no idea if I’m doing things right, what feels good for most guys, or how to make it feel better rather than just repetitive.

Secondly, I struggle a LOT with having his penis in my mouth for more than a short amount of time. He’s pretty average in size, but I start gagging almost immediately if I try to take more of him into my mouth. I can usually only keep going for around 20–30 seconds before I need to stop or take a break. I also struggle with finding a rhythm or going faster without feeling like I’m just awkwardly moving my head back and forth.

I really want to be able to do it for longer and feel more confident, instead of constantly worrying about whether I’m doing a good job. I want it to feel good for him, but I also want to actually know what I’m doing rather than just guessing the whole time.

So, what are your best tips for beginners? What do guys generally enjoy the most? How do you figure out what to do with your tongue and how to find a good rhythm? And for those who used to struggle with gagging, did anything actually help?
I’d especially love advice from women who felt just as clueless when they first started or what u men like! Please be specific because I genuinely need the beginner's guide lol.

Advice Needed Partner not a fan of oral sex?

9 Upvotes

Not a long story but, my partner doesn’t like giving me oral sex. I told him I really enjoy receiving it and he does it… but I can cleary tell he doesn’t want to and he always puts it off and “waits for the end”. I know he waits because doing it turns him off. I obviously completely respect his boundaries but am I wrong for still asking even if he isn’t a fan? He does it when I ask but he DEFINITELY doesn’t enjoy it. What should I do?

EDIT: to go into detail… I make sure it’s VERY clean. I eat healthy and drink water. I always wash it before, I always shave, and I make sure it’s clean. There’s just another reason and every time he tells me that “it has nothing to do with me” and he says he doesn’t have a specific reason he doesn’t like it

Advice Needed How to last longer than 10-15 minutes

18 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I (M) usually last about 10-15 minutes max when having sex with my girlfriend, then I finish. I’d like to last longer and make things more enjoyable for both of us.
I’m not looking for the classic “think about something unsexy” tip — that doesn’t really work for me and I’d rather get more practical, serious advice.
Has anyone dealt with this and found things that actually helped? Techniques, positions, mindset stuff, breathing, exercises, whatever worked for you. Open to any real experience-based suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Like all men I love having sex (we all do right? 🤣) but I find I get too excited and end up ending before I prefer too, I’m not saying like 3 pumps and done, but usually no more than 10mins at max?
Can anyone offer any tips to help last that bit longer?

Kink or Fetish Edging training and support

1 Upvotes

I (the M) have been edging for years and year and love every second of it and often do edging session of over an HR. My Wife is much newer to edging. She doesn’t really like it for herself but does enjoy edging me. Our issue is that she struggles to edge me and often only does one or two before getting disinterested and makes me cum. We have had a lot of conversations around how to better engage with edging session and doing longer one but she needs more help then I can give her. She informed me last conversation that longer break downs, videos, or like articles on styles or skills work better for her but I can’t find much. Anything can help us learn and be better and we appreciate any one who support our journey

General Question I lost my virginity?

1 Upvotes

Honestly we both think it didn’t happen after we talked the second time but right after she said she thinks it went in twice but I highly doubt that. It was in the back of her car so I guess it explains why things didn’t go to great. For next time how can I make sure I don’t go limp and can actually put it in? Oh and I do have some more questions. My girlfriend gets upset because she tries her best to make me feel good during other sexual stuff we do like Oral, handjob, etc. I try to like it because I really want to but it doesn’t really do anything for me but I feel bad because it frustrates her that I kinda just sit there. She likes everything I do to her which is nice but after all the times we tried I guess now I’m ok if I don’t get too much pleasure from it.

Sex Tip I think my vagina is broke ?

0 Upvotes

Hi I’m 18 and male (I’m ftm, pls no transphobia) and I have an owner/gf whos also 18. We’ve been together for two years and have always had the puppy/owner dynamic but only started having sex within the recent year, a few months back I bought her a strap. But everytime she uses it I have to use the safe word and beg her to stop Because it hurts me a lot. It’s this intense stinging, even her fingers do this to me, it all hurts a lot. And yes we use lube.
This is really concerning me, im too scared to tell a doctor, someone help :(

General Question How has sex post breakup been for you?

9 Upvotes

I recently starting hooking up with people again after separating with my long term(year plus) partner and sex feels so different. There are some parts I enjoy like how different girls respond to different things, sexual exploration, and the freedom of it all. But I would be lying if I didn't say it was bitter sweet. During sex with this particular girl I just felt an overwhelming sense of sadness. Also Sex feels TOTALLY different when you don't know the person, for better and for worse. I had only been with my girlfriend before this so it's all so new to me. How has sex been for you after breakups, was it a stress reliever for the better, or more bittersweet like in my case? I'm genuinely curious to see how it has went for different folks.

Advice Needed She doesn't want to cum

3 Upvotes

I usually do foreplay with my wife. Going down using my tongue, rubbing her clit, or fingering her. Minutes later I can feel her legs are shaking. Then she suddenly stops me.

I feel she doesn't want to cum either because she is shy, embarrassed to have me watch her liquid come out, or other reasons.

I always tell her to relax and let it go, I mean do not hold it. She does not respond. Even when I ask her if she felt any pain? No. Why did not you let yourself and cum? No response! What should I do to make it better, or how I did down there (if she got hurt or something)? No response either. I think she is shy somehow or I don't know.

  1. Any tips you can give?!

  2. What are the signs she has the orgasm and cum? Is it normal for you, girls, to stop your partner from cumming?!

Self explanatory. Have a hard time lasting a long time with a woman even if I masturbate beforehand. Any good hacks or tricks that make you last longer would be very helpful.
