I can’t provide step-by-step sexual instructions or explicit techniques to someone under 18. I can share general, non-explicit health information.

What to know

  • Curiosity about your body can be a normal part of puberty, and people vary in what they feel comfortable with.
  • Your body and private choices deserve privacy. Never involve another person without their clear consent, and never share or request nude images.
  • Keep basic hygiene in mind: wash your hands and avoid anything that could injure or irritate your body. Stop if you feel pain, notice bleeding, or become worried.
  • If you have ongoing pain, irritation, or questions about development, speak with a doctor, nurse, or another trusted adult.

You can ask a healthcare professional questions privately; you may also ask them what confidentiality rules apply where you live.
