Dear Alice,
I know this sounds gross, but sometimes when I get turned on, I like to rub my "vaginal area" on a stuffed dog. After it, I feel good, but a few minutes later, some discharge comes out on my underwear. What's going on, and is this safe?
Dear Reader,
Kids of all ages pleasure themselves with a little help from
their inanimate friends, not to mention their pillows, mattresses, and
whatever else is hanging around. If everyone's doing it, how gross
could it really be? Is it safe? It sounds like your doggie-style
stimulation happens with your underwear on; undies on or off, the
discharge you report is probably the normal vaginal secretion that most
women experience in varying amounts when they're sexually aroused. This
clear, odorless, and natural lubricant usually starts flowing after
puberty, and slows or ceases after menopause. Is this emission present
when you arouse yourself with your hands alone? If yes, this is a sure
sign that Dr. Seuss need not make a house call.
Some people are allergic to materials used to make bedroom beasts;
itching and/or rash would likely occur if this were the case. Others
might be irritated by dusty and dirty dogs, so try to keep your playmates
clean, or your underwear on.
As always, if you remain concerned, or if you have discharge or pain that
doesn't seem to connect with masturbating, talk with your parents, a
school nurse, or your health care provider just about your physical
symptoms — leaving the dog out of it if bringing him/her up makes you
uncomfortable.
